    I mean, it apparently just needed to be de-selected, but my comment was more about how bloody concerning it is that Win11 devices just connect to whatever nearby open wifi network they can find to phone home.

      Well yeah, Microsoft sucks from many standpoints, including privacy and security, but he’s the last person to be complaining about any of it for a multitude of reasons.

        Yeah, okay, sure. But call him out for the legitimately stupid/awful stuff he does. This thread is full of folks talking about how easy the bypass is, when I’ve looked up that bypass for one of my own devices and nothing said shit about fuck when it came to automatically connecting to open wifi networks. Which is a concerning escalation in privacy issues from Microsoft to me.

          I can’t speak for them, but that is not why I posted it. I posted it to show that “genius” Elon both doesn’t know how to do very basic things with computers that non-beginners could figure out and that he has a problem with other people having access to his data, but he has access to the entire federal government’s computer systems which have all sorts of personal details about virtually everyone in the U.S.
