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

      I mean. It is kinda cool. And commie states having Official State Linux Distros is cool in general. (And I still wish the Soviet Union had lasted into the computer age, so we could have seen their take on the concept.) But yeah, Real Commies use Linux! Preferably an AES state’s Official State Distro! (Which is a thing that a lot of countries and smaller government bodies have, it’s a fascinating piece of the tech world.)
