Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.

I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!
Ugh… I guess it’s time to dust off this classic:
A great point? It’s not even true.
Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.
This just in: broken clock is right twice a day.
Not if broken because it’s missing the hands
It’s implied it has hands.
Oh dear, its 0:00. Time for me to go home…
He’s literally wrong. You can set up windows 11 devices without a sign in.
While being wrong about this, the idiot forces sign in to use twitter…
Cool yeah, no one wants to have to log in with a Twitter account either.
Who gives a fuckingdickleshit about this asshole
No one. These are just bots shilling.
Everyone is a bot.
Even you …
Each comment section hates the posts about elon yet they keep popping up as if it was interesting. I mean its clear to me, but hmm, what if i was a bot. That would be fun for a day.
How about we go a step further and say that I don’t want to have to sign into ANY online account to access my computer.
If I disconnect my Ethernet cable, I can still log in and get work done. That should be the absolute MINIMUM that is expected of any operating system.
Linux is sometimes a royal pain in the ass, but it’s for precisely that reason that it’s important that it and Foss options like it are supported.

I also hate having to login every 10 minutes to another windows password shit because hey it’s secure!
This shithead posts the stupidest shit and people make it viral.
I understand how people are fucked up about that
Wait until he uses Geforce Experience… oh boy. Every time it makes me log in AND THEN VERIFY MY EMAIL.
Luckily AMD cards (and their control software) don’t have this requirement.
I legit haven’t used GFE since they began requiring a login to use it.
I’m going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.
You don’t even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.
I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.
There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.
Edit: This was on setup of the pc. Don’t remember the commands, but should be easy to find on google.
You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup
Used to work, not now.
SHIFT+F10
cd OOBE
bypassnro
Reboot.
You don’t have to. It isn’t required. I setup end points everyday with local users.
For the general consumer Microsoft is making it as hidden as possible to make a local user during installation.
When I had to reinstall windows a month or two ago the option to make a local machine user was not there until I unplugged the ethernet or brought up a terminal to force the installer to show the option.
To be fair, for the average consumer there are huge advantages to using a MSA.
Both Windows Hello and OneDrive bring both security and convenience to non-technical people in a big way.
There is no good reason the average non-techie user should be using a local Windows account in a cloud world.
Even if it is so, giving a clear and easy option to opt for local account instead, would be the right way.
There’s plenty of reason, especially looking at what’s been happening in the last year.
I PAID for that computer (presumably with a hard drive) so why should I have to agree to my data being stored in someone elses server to be used to train the AI that will eventually land microsoft support services workers on the unemployment line?
Step one: I buy a computer.
Step two: Computer manufacture pays MS a licensing fee.
Step three: MS takes all of our data and trains their AI, which they can then monetize for use by other companies, making even more money.
Step four: Microsoft’s AI replaces basic Frontline workers (tech support, help lines, bug tickets, etc…) saving even MORE money.
Why in the actual hell would I contribute to that?
So you classify yourself as an average consumer or a non-techie when it comes to computers?
I generally consider myself half-way between the two, leaning more towards techie than normal consumer. I use Linux, I know how a computer works and what all the hardware does. But I don’t program (except for easy stuff like lua), I don’t build Linux from scratch or compile source code, etc… etc… etc…
I just want a computer that works, and a computer that, if I unplug my internet, I can still log on and use my word processor, or drawing application, etc…
Business class is a different license. Likely enterprise or volume.
It requires some registry or command line crap to deal with it on consumer grade Windows.
Command line crap? yes. Registry crap? No.
