Not defending windows 11 in any way, but on install, when you get to the “login to your microsoft account” screen, if you open command prompt (ctrl + f10 i think) and open the network utility - type ncpa.cpl, then you can find and disable your network adaptor. Close cmd and the network utility and click back. It will ask you to create a local user.

I’ve done this a couple of times and it hasn’t forced me to create a Microsoft account yet (I use a lot of windows vms). If this no longer works on win11, apologies, it used to.

Run it in your head, find the edge cases yourself, fix the bug… weakling.

Or do what I do in real life which is patch in new bugs and even a security flaw or two.

I saw this, said wtf, left this post and it was 2 down…

Unfortunately there is a huge difference between shouldn’t and wouldn’t. I really hope in this case they don’t. But yeah, american consumer law is a strange and stupid place. I’m more and more appreciative I don’t live there every day.

Well, he’s deranged. There’s some terrifying repercussions for the US if he manages to win. You shouldn’t even be able to suggest someone legally has to buy a product or service

Help, I just woke up. What does this relate to?

Not who you asked, but did you ever hear of Valiant and their kernel level anti cheat.

This is not a 1:1 comparison but anticheat software running in the kernel has the ability to monitor all other processes due to its permission levels. It can monitor all scheduled tasks and infer from that information.

Drivers need similar access but for different reasons, they need access to os functionality a user would absolutely never be granted. This is because they interface directly with hardware and means when drivers crash, they generally don’t do it gracefully. Hence the BSOD loop and the need for booting windows without drivers (i.e. safe mode) and the deletion of the misconfiguration file.

Eyyyy, I’m on Mint!

My bad, what linux distro you running?

Nice try Microsoft, I still don’t like your monthly “small” ui changes that hide the features I use and add extra “get copilot now” buttons

Pretty sure it is, might just be their grammar.

I read it as “Godot, or DirectX (which my aim hallucinated is a game engine)”

I recently bought a new wifi part with WiFi 6e capabilities, so my pc sits on a 6ghz bandwidth while all my other devices sit on 2.4 or 5ghz, so my internet speeds are great across all my devices.

Point being I have never felt it more urgent to donate to the Bill + Malinda Gates foundation and I think you should to! /s

Dude in the bottom left looks like Gotye

git commit -m “if this doesn’t fix it I’m looking up availabilities at my nearest maccas”

Relevant xkcd

It is quite clearly pronounced “gif” as in “I sent a gif of Yoda screaming while having an orgasm”

That sentence should probably read “on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep”. I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.

Snaps are not very space efficient, I don’t need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that’s a lot of repeating packages.

This guy gets it

Because snaps aren’t the only feature the distro comes with. It’s widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn’t a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.
