  • If they're doing that, they're playing a very long game.

  • Microsoft has tons of open source stuff and tons of support programs for open source projects.

    There are plenty of reasons to criticize Microsoft, but FOSS isn't one of them.

  • I think you should be rotated 4 degrees and slightly off center.

  • The QR code leads to what looks to be a subdomain of the real CFA website that redirects to a closed Google Form

  • I'm not saying it would've been a masterpiece, it just would've been a lot more enjoyable.

  • I think 11 would've been a lot better if it had come out in 2021. In 2023 all of the COVID themes were really played out.

    Hopefully 12 wasn't written 3 years ago.

  • If your dog is big enough and the chocolate is mostly milk and white, it'll probably be fine.

  • I don't think Microsoft can reasonably block opening the command prompt and bypassing the OOBE without breaking a lot of other things, but them removing the simpler workarounds is a pretty obvious attempt to get more people to sign in with a Microsoft account.

  • Microsoft does sync activation keys to your account but the license is also embedded in the firmware in recent prebuilt laptops and desktops, so you don't need a Microsoft account to activate.

  • The article is talking about the initial setup experience, where you could put in a fake email to bypass the requirement to sign in with a Microsoft account.

  • He has my vote

  • My dog gets very worried for my safety when I use mine.

  • James Charles though?
