I see all computers as a tool executing my will just like a hammer, pliers, saw etc. A virus in a computer is software, malicious or not, exceuting operations I dont want making the tool non functioning and you always throw away broken tools such as Arduino IDE.
After using Arduino IDE for three months I want to address Arduinos unnecessary internet access. When Arduino decides to function I shutoff all internet access as any update to the Arduino IDE is a unwanted change to a stabile environment(functioning tool). Arduino do not need internet access, I can download libraries in a safe non windows environment and there is no security updates needed for Arduino. Any hacker that is able breaking into any of our windows primadonnas will be rewarded 1000usd as we need to have good tracking of important computers in our production not leaking information. Arduino IDE cloud connection only creates problems as backup of programs, when the arduino ide (expletive deleted) up it doesnt save any programs so all programs always must be saved in text editor, copy/paste.
I kindly hereby calls arduino developers to consider the ridicolous decision of making internet such a core part of arduino ide so user is not able saving their work. I suggest user option to decide if their computers is to be opened fully exposed to threats or not as now chosen. Cloud connection is only for stupid people not able considering where in the world their data is saved.
This is my opinion piece and user feedback, you can debate it as much as you want here below but I do not give a (expletive deleted) about your opinion as I know the hard way what works for us.
Despite the length of your rant, you failed to provide any details about the thing that is making you so upset. So I'll have to take a wild guess that you are referring to this bug:
This was not a decision. It was an honest mistake. It happens. The bug has already been fixed, but there hasn't been a new release since the time of the release. You can get the fix right now by using the nightly build. The download links for the nightly build are listed here:
If you don't like the optional Arduino Cloud sketchbook integration features, you can simply disable them by selecting File > Advanced > Show/Hide Cloud Sketchbook (or Arduino IDE > Advanced > Show/Hide Cloud Sketchbook for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
