Microsoft has made it clear that Windows 11 installation requires both a Microsoft account and active internet connectivity, and the company is systematically eliminating the simpler workarounds that previously allowed users to skip this requirement. While alternative methods remain available, they now demand significantly more technical expertise, specifically requiring users to modify the Windows installation image beforehand by configuring an unattended setup that includes a local account, a process that proves challenging for average users.
tech news are just shit lately, smh
Right when windows 10 goes EOL too.
With proprietary software, all technical decisions become the most profitable one and the program becomes a tool of extraction of its users.
Anyway here’s to the death of the “you need a terminal and burn a ISO to a USB” meme on linux since now Windows users have to do it to not have their computer become a refrigerator of digital slop.
