Forget BYPASSNRO, a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists
www.neowin.net
While Microsoft is bloacking the popular BYPASSNRO method of bypassing the internet and MSA requirements, a new way to do so had already existed but flew under the radar.

This might be relevant to those who wish / have to use Windows 11:

This week, Microsoft made it very clear that it wants to block the popular BYPASSNRO workaround, used to skip the internet and Microsoft Account requirement checks during the Windows 11 installation OOBE (initial setup), although thankfully, the script can still be created using Registry edits.

A 7 step guide.

    “Linux is far too complex for the common person to use.”

    Installing windows without your data being harvested: 7 steps, then editing registry files, uninstalling most of the programs that come with it and get reinstalled with every update, use this command prompt, download this program from a random website you’ve never heard of before…

    Installing Linux without your data being harvested: Click continue.

    Linux is so difficult you guys, no one could possibly learn the command line.

      I’ve swapped back and forth between Linux and Windows a half dozen times now, and I can honestly say, both are a bitch to set up from a clean install.

      Even with guides and autoloading scripts and whatnot, it’s still going to be a few days of pain while you try to figure out what else needs to be installed to use the computer the way you want to use it.

      Or that’s how it works for me.

      I mostly just wish more games were linux native.

      In the vast VAST majority of “normal” use cases, which I’d argue for most people it’s :

      • Web browsing
      • watching videos or listening to music
      • editing text documents, spreadsheets, presentations
      • playing video games
      • managing files, e.g. moving them in directories, compressing them, etc
      • keeping the system up to date
      • using a printer

      there are reliable ways to use a GUI. So… even though IMHO the command line is absolutely worth learning, one can perfectly use Linux my “just” clicking their way around.
