I have a Win10 desktop: which has a specific desktop background.
I also have a WookieTab running Win10, with a totally different background.
I just ran OneNote on both of them, and it auto synchronised my notes.
I now have the WookieTab desktop background on both monitors of my desktop ...

Wookies are terrible at making up their minds what background they want to have. That's why Mickeysoft has decided to take care of that automatically and without making a big deal of it. Insiders call such features 'Appling the helpless'.

Granted, the last Apple I ever wanted to have was the Apple ][, but the 'listen to your nanny' approach does not just work for everyone.

Yet my Apple devices don't exhibit the same behaviors as Windows 10 that are frustrating OG and which you call "Appling". Who's the nanny?

I believe that calling anyone who touches his holy cow an idiot who does not know what he is talking about is the typical behavior of a fanboi. So yes, believing anything else makes you most probably a fanboi.

That's nice for you and may it stay that way. I prefer to use operating systems that don't make any assumptions about my knowledge or intentions, do their job and otherwise stay out of my way.

You seem to be vehemently protecting these "Insiders" you mentioned - does that make you a fanboi too?

So... you use Unix / Linux from a command line rather than a GUI.
Have fun.

Probably not. I did not call anybody a clueless idiot, remember?

Si. And CP/M, DOS if it must be and also now my own on a very old computer that never had an OS.

True... but you did claim that some group of tech Illuminati use the term "Appling the helpless". Don't throw the first stone then run away and act all innocent.

Again... good luck.
Out of curiosity... do you still drive the same car and wear the same clothes as you did in the 1970's?

Ahh, trying to fanboi me over those things?
In the 1970s I had my first computer, but was still years away from any driver's license. The only surviving shirt from that time has 'RakSLw, Ft. Bliss, El Paso Tx' and a Hawk missile printed on it and spans a little around the shoulders, so it's now worn by my last teddy bear sitting in my bedroom. Is that ok?

There's a setting somewhere, where you can stop your devices from synching.

It's called "a 3/16th drill through the wi-fi controller".

Ok. I thought it was easier to use Linux.

What really annoys is that it didn't tell me it was going to do all this: I ran One Note, and it said "log in to Microsoft ID". So I did, and suddenly it thinks both PC's are the same. Which is fun, because this keyboard is UK, and that one is US ...
