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'. 
Welcome to the brave new world and one day you will finally come to love the Big Brother.

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?

Confused. If you're using *nix, you have ALREADY crossed into that territory.

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 ...

So... uh.. disable theme sync?

Don't confuse haters with facts. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That really needs to be a lot more granular.
I use a large cursor/mouse pointer on the machine hooked up to my 4K monitor - I do want most things to be kept in sync, but the large cursor on my other machines with "regular" monitors looks ridiculous...

One of our clients I work for decided to go for proprietary CMS and get rid of the bespoke CMS solution that worked from last 5 years. But they are now struggling as for each small custom change, the company is asking for money and lot of money. Our existing system also talks to various 3rd party API's and also our apps talks to our API etc. So all this communication needs to be moved over to new proprietary CMS solution. This again will cost them bomb.
Now in order to save them some money, I am wondering if somehow we get the users data of the proprietary CMS API on a regular basis (If it can be done on real time, it will be even better) and update our DB. If we can do this autonomously, we will not have to move all other 3rd party integration to this new proprietary CMS solution.
Note: I am assuming, that this new CMS API will provide access to the user data which we can export or can autonomously upload to our db.
It would be good to know your views on this situation. Has anyone of you experienced something similar and does it makes sense or even possible to get the user data in real time.
Thanks

This won't help you much. I'd love to know how they (your client) decided to go down this path without apparently considering all of the consequences.
Surely your access to your client's user data which is now in the hands of a third party (ha ha) depends entirely on the deal you are able to cut with this third party. The fact that the client has allowed their own data to be locked up in this way seems almost bizarre - perhaps I am misunderstanding something.
