    Microsoft requires a proof of presence through Windows Hello.

    … which requires a hotmail account or something, right?

    So no. The only interaction I’ll have with this is coding cinc.sh to remove it.

    They can overhaul it and resecure it all they want but it doesn’t matter because no one trusts them, because they’ve been giving you a plethora of reasons not to for decades. And it would take them decades to earn it back, if they actually tried.

      And it’s impossible to make the data truly secure. If a bag bad actor gets in, GG everything.

    Pro tip : you can also uninstall Windows by installing Linux over it.

    Is there an equivalent to godwin’s law for Linux users? If you don’t have someone mention ditching windows you’ll never think to do it yourself

      To be fair, I was in the camp of “put a sock in it” until I reached a point of “alright FINE, I’ll give it a go” and now I’m joining the choir on it, desktop Linux is a dream.

      It’s a bit grating as it’s preaching to the choir here, but people mainly do not know you can replace the OS, or frankly what an OS is.

      You really do have to evangelize for change to make this even occur to people.

        I remember back in high school a gal was having computer trouble and even asked about it, she said her computer ran Microsoft office. Like yeah, people don’t really know what an os is.
