This type of app is classified as Chromeloader malware when it’s used to force install Yahoo Search with an affiliate ID. Why does Microsoft think it’s fine when THEY do it?

Everyone else has answered your question, so I’ll answer the one you didn’t ask.
For physical backup, you want two local network backup drives that alternate in backing up your data hourly when you’re on the local network. That way, you have three copies of the data and if one fails, you can swap it out.
Then you ALSO want rotating backups that get stored off site (eg in a safe deposit box). Every 3 months or so, you take the one of these at home that’s 6 months old, back everything up to it, take it to the offsite and retrieve the other one.
This means that if something corrupts your data and you don’t notice until your local backups are also corrupted, you have two older snapshots — one of which is somewhere else, so if your home gets destroyed you still have a backup.
The cloud backups can be layered on top of this as desired; they all serve different backup purposes.

A federal judge has sentenced…
Shoot. That means Trump can pardon him.

Time to go back to physical canvassing and relational networking?
[edit] I have to say, every single job I’ve ever got was due in part to pre-existing relationships. I’ve tried all the other methods over the years, and it’s the only one that’s ever provided me more than pain and frustration.
I’d been in communication with all my employers or at least someone employed there for non-employment reasons prior to being hired.

Indeed.
“You fired a weapon at police while attempting a mob-based insurrection against the government? Here; have your rights back.”
“You’re a fifth generation American and an ambulance driver who was arrested because you saved the life of an ICE protester? No guns for you.”
“Your ancestors lived on this land before it was called America, but you were arrested for being homeless? We should lock you up for even ASKING. And then deport you.”

Right. Trump goes home from an insurrection he organized, it turns violent, and he gets the presidency. Autumn does something similar for a basic protest without an insurrection angle, and gets 50 years.

In my company, employees are required to report harassment like you describe to HR if they see it. Repeat offenders get dealt with.
Or the dropbears.
