In my case, what account?
Sync to local Nextcloud. Periodically, sync no 2 laptop to Nextcloud. Considering syncing local Nextcloud to remote instance but that wouldn't be on a big corp.
Snake is right in one respect: the bigger the supplier the worse the service.
"I will leave as fast as I can even if this is fixed,"
Don't say that. Do it, but don't say it in advance. As to having only copies of terabytes of stuff on somebody else's computer - surely he should have known better.
Also, the purchaser of such a card is the one who's been scammed, having paid money for junk. This is automated victim blaming.
"And so are you."
Not really. I've just sent an email to ask for extra material to be added to tomorrow's visit to the archives and I've another to send for January's visit. Wander down to the gate to bring the bin back up and that's about it for the day.
Retirement.
"... no colours any more I want them to turn white ..."
The computer will do what you tell it to do. That might be not what you meant or the result of what you meant might not be what you wished for. But you got what you told it to do.
"No idea, I just clicked ok"
This is where you need a little bit of lateral thinking in UI design. The OK button should just pop up another dialog beside the first one saying "Don't just click OK. Ring tech support and quote the exact message to them. Once you've done that they'll tell you the magic key combination to remove the message".
"the environmentalists keep getting them shut down at the planning stages"
That's the right stage to get them shut down.
OTOH, remembering that medieval London Bridge had a tide mill, if somebody wants to turn the Thames Barrage into a tidal mill to flood central London twice a day that might be a good prototype to sort out the minor side effects.
A very long time ago a local engineering works had an Elliot machine (yes, that long ago) and they wanted to move it from one floor to another so decided to move it up the lift shaft with w rope. The knot slipped. AFAICR the surname of the employee who'd tied it on was "Crane", his daughter was in my class at school.
Oddly enough it was decided to locate our SEM on the 1st floor and this was a new (re)build although it was given its own concrete slab separate from the rest of the floor with its own set of 6 supporting columns but it was intended mostly for XRF rather than magnification. Some of their images were truly dreadful but maybe those were the ones with gold coating rather than gold.
