    Good luck to the California government trying to enforce a KYC check on a headless Debian instance deployed via an API script.

    Politicians legislating technology is always an absolute comedy show. I can't wait for the new Linux kernel patch that requires us to drink a verification can before getting sudo privileges. 😂

  • Legally, does anyone understand the wording to mean local vs. online account? In other words, the difference between a Microsoft account vs. a local machine account (in the MS world)?

    If you remember, unless you do some black magic (windows shell) and rebooting, you CANT sign up with a local account on a new windows install. I mean I had to look it up every time i install windows to the point i remember it as well as i remember my old windows XP cd key :lol:

    Step one, do not use internet routing, meaning run cables manually from house to house. VPN network security can still be broken. Same with Tor network.

    I mean now a days, people can use WiFi to track people's positions from the shadows they cast!!!

    As I see it, the best network that is still yet to be hacked is your dream, but I rather not meet any of you there :lol:

    Haha! I used to have the XP key memorised!
    As for the W11 local account issue, it is extremely easy to automatically bypass it without knowing or typing anything:
    1. Download your W11 .ISO.
    2. Download Rufus ( https://rufus.ie/en/ )
    3. Create your install media and check the features:

    • Automatic local account creation
    • Skip TPM req.
    • Skip CPU/HDD req.
    • etc.

    4.
    5. Profit!

    I know about rufus... Well, I knew about it... but for some reason, my brain unlinked it from windows install. Used to use rufus to create unattended installer on windows 7 i think? Thanks for the reminder. Will modify my windows 11 installer USB so I dont have to unplug and replug my ethernet cable every time I reinstall windows.
