I know this is not news, but its somewhat strange that I thought to post it here.

Oh like I can’t use X, formerly Twitter, without an account?
And my account will be used to train their AI.
Typical Elon, only the shallowest surface level understanding of simple concepts, and thinks of himself as not just competent but an expert. You can still login to a clean Windows 11 install without a Microsoft account. And you can still install Windows without an internet connection or linked account. And you can still prevent it from sending telemetry or auto updating. It all takes very little effort, and even shitty Google and Bing still return step-by-step walkthroughs on the first page of search results.
Meanwhile, he’s too hypocritically dense to realize his own stupid company requires you to do the same thing he’s complaining about, because of authoritarian changes he made…
Lmao you know ya fucked up when the Linux heavy Lemmy is like “uh dude that’s a feature that works in Windows 11”
Select “other sign in options” and then choose “domain join instead” and it will give you the option to create a local account.
You would think that a tech genius like Elon would be able to figure that out
That’s only on Windows 11 Pro.
Then Elongated Muskrat should shell out the extra $99 for pro.
Who is paying full retail for Windows? pro or not lmao
You can get Win 11 pro keys easily for like 7 bucks lol
There are sites out there where you can get Windows keys fairly cheaply, or you can pirate it and get it for free
The price I gave was the price to do an in-place upgrade from the Windows Store
For everything else, email [email protected] and some random password
Something something “this account doesn’t work, create a local account”
This is by far the best solution. I use “[email protected]” but really any email that’s been locked out of Microsoft will work. So feel free to use “[email protected]” as well.
