    And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

    This is the most ridiculous part, if they ever try to enforce the license against someone the definition of evil is going to be decided by a court. In that context a humanitarian organization using your software to help Palestinians is more likely to be condemned than a military contractor that kills Palestinians.

    We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

    Any windows fanboy cares to explain how this supposedly enhances a user’s security?

    The spin on requiring an internet connection being phrased as ‘ensures all users exit setup with internet connectivity’ is amazing too.






  • Nobody is asking ‘software’ companies to support software they didn’t write.

    We are asking hardware companies to support their hardware and not use different software as an excuse not to replace faulty hardware.

    They can reflash their own software to test if needed.

    Of course hardware vendors could be legally mandated to adhere to standards to make things easier.
