My ‘memories’ are random art asset files from a mod I downloaded.
There was a dude who posted like 3 pics of his totally wrecked car on Facebook.
He then got the “memories” reel with a catchy melody and the same 3 pictures of the fucked up car rotating in and out.
I remember that. One of the pics is him in the hospital. Shit was so funny!
Edit: Here it is!
“And remember this?”
Ahh, those were the days
That’s hillarious. I get site inspection photos. It always makes me laugh when Google photos asks me if I remember this random sandy lot from 5 years ago. No I don’t google photos no I don’t. The future is so dumb and I love it.
I took photos of where I parked my car, as it was a quite big multi store garage and I used my xar only once a week. Got a cute collage of 5 cars with flowers one day 💓 do you remember?
I expect my laundry from 5 years popping up on my toaster in the future.
Screenshots of what seems to be Witcher 3, taken whenever the game was saved.
For me OneDrive “memories” are from my wallpaper folder or Xbox screenshots.
Google “memories” are food diary photos (on days when my food budget is spent, Google loves to show me photos of the massive pizzas I ate years ago, because it knows) or random sunsets. (Except for that photo collage with cheery music from my grandma’s funeral. Why did it have to do that specifically. Just asking.)
Oh, cmon…bread day??? You don’t remember bread day???
my memory is toasted
Call a bondulance
Maybe if you didn’t get baked all the time…
So that’s why you forgot your nephew’s birthday and now you have a cross-aunt
a WHAT
Sounds like you need a bread picture for your memories. Take mine
That is some good looken bread.
Bet it would make awesome toast…
It does make amazing toast, I like making French toast with cinnamon
Here’s my recent bread in case you need options
At least, it’s a good bread
Idk…
Depends on preference but I usually go for bread with more fiber cause after eating this you will be hungry again in 20mins.
But at least there arent many holes the size of our solar system so you can spread the butter/margarine quite nicely.
Better than Facebook - I had to delete my account and start over cause it kept showing me memories with my ex and old holiday photos. Cause that’s what people need - a reminder of their time in hell.
Before my Facebook account was hacked and I never got a new one, it would show me memories of when my mom died.
reminds me of this yt video
These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.
Ive used windows 11 since it came out. I disable onedrive on the same day. I have never, ever seen this bullshit.
i’m baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they’ll never see? do they even know this is what’s happening?

It’s not just some drive, it’s one drive!
do they even know this is what’s happening?
Take a wild guess…
Your average pc/tech user is so far removed from having or needing any tech knowledge. Convenience is everything. As long as it works, who cares how it works… and that’s how we ended up with basically everyone walking around with devices in our pockets that can track our location in real time, have microphones which are always on and listening, with cameras that point directly at our faces when we use said devices.
what a brave new world we live in eh?..
No, cause it’s my work computer and I don’t give a fuck what IT does as long as I have a backup of my stuff
Some employees create sym links in their OneDrive folder back to other folders… Instant VC for all those pesky junk files
Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don’t put sensitive information on there.
why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things
My own disks won’t survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren’t accessible when I’m not home. I don’t need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.
Not shilling but this is exactly why 3rd party services like iDrive are good: Cloud backup but you have the choice of keeping your own encryption key.
Apple, M$, Google, are all like “just trust me bro BTW a big chunk of our business is data sales” lol
You should put files on the cloud that meet the two following criteria:
- Valuable to you
- Not valuable to other people
This could include your hobbyist cad drawings, your twilight fan fic, or anything else that you need or don’t want to lose but has very little value to bad actors.
There’s something that strikes me as fundamentally hilarious that “good with computers” in the Windows world means “disabling all of Windows’ pushy services that rip control from the user and sell their data.”
Like “I think I’m pretty good with computers!”
“Oh yeah? How much of Windows have you managed to sabotage so it stays out of your way?”
LMAO . It could be such a good OS but its dark and anti-patterns are truly bizarre.
Just doing the lords work and spreading the news of W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It only has Defender and Edge; no Xbox, App Store, Copilot, nor Recall, or any other bloat. Perfect for gaming. Don’t waste your time looking for it on sites like massgravedotdev.
These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.
Ive used windows 11 since it came out.
As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.
I couldn’t resist. Don’t take it too seriously, although windows 11’s DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.
I also use Debian, so maybe get off your high horse.
Different OS’s do different things.
No high horse. At least no higher than “I disable one drive, unlike those pleebs!”
Come on… I am not being terribly serious, but the logical thing is not disable One Drive, but avoid the bullshit all together if you are going down that road.
Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?
I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.
Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.
Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.
Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.
No, never was a serious post. But that user simply chastising all the one drive users was just as rude really.
Why is the bread on a chopping board if it was clearly sliced by a machine?
That was the day OP learned to slice bread like a machine.
*It’s the day he became one with the machine
OP doesn’t realize he’s an AI.
Sorry, they reserve the right to implant and delete memories in Section 4.4.2 of the EULA.
B R E A D
Bread.
BREAD
yeah especially funny given many times I dumped a load of things like pictures of my dad after he died. Oh look int 2016 your dad was drafted into the korean war and took a picture in his uniform before he left.
The Korea war wasn’t in 2016…
The pictures were uploaded in 2016, so the service mistakenly thinks that it happened that year, when in fact it was taken 195x and just uploaded decades later.
yes. you explained it perfectly.
That’s actually pretty funny.
Wait, really? I could’ve sworn my grandpa got drafted to Asia when I was in college
Sounds about right for this terrible product. God I miss working for a company that used Google drive.
Mine uses proton drive and our own data stores (for the larger stuff)
lol soon you may start seeing photos from other people’s onedrive too
“oops sorry”
They’ll pull an OpenAI
There’s nothing nefarious happening here. OP is just backing up everything OneDrive asks them about. This happened with my Telegram images and I had a bunch of memes get backed up.
Can you turn off the memories feature?
Yes
