Unelected immigrant with illegal unfettered access to all data in the entire federal government complains about having to have a microsoft account to use Windows.
He’s so fucking stupid.
Nope, the Steam Deck has been my daily driver, I love it.
Wait the richest asshole in the world uses regular windows like poor commoners?
Because he has access to many sensitive data, shouldn’t be using windows enterprise with a finely tuned group policy by some AD guru??
LOL yeah dude you just
In the setup page before you select language Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO
Then set up the computer without internet
Or just use Rufus to make the ISO and check the box to bypass creating an account. I’m dual booting Windows 11 right now without one.

Your comment shows up twice. Which Lemmy client are you using?
Web and Voyager in iOS. The web front end of ah.itjust.works has been a bit sluggish today though and sometimes showed errors when posting.
Don’t you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

No I am not seeing it I use Linux
See? That’s why you’re not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!
For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid
Anyone who thinks he’s the smartest guy at anything has been organically lobotomized by a brain worm
Wait we don’t live in a meritocracy after all?
Opposite
Somebody’s mad Bill said he was craaaaaaazy
Lots of people in this thread calling him out for not doing the bypass, and I really don’t want to be defending him, but he did try too. The issue was that the computer automatically connected to a nearby open wifi network so was not presenting the no network option. I’m completely sure that no bad actors are going to take advantage of this fact to infect new machines.
Too bad going into the BIOS and turning off the WiFi was too difficult for a super genius computer wizard like Musk.
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.
It’s simple z we buy Microsoft
And then proceed to run it off a cliff
Oh please, musk, buy Microsoft, please please
My god that would be funny
We know how this ends
- Elon complains
- Elon buys
- Elon destroys
If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.
Microsoft has a market cap of over 3 trillion.
Musk is crazy stupid rich times a million, but he’s an order of magnitude shy of being able to bully Microsoft with his wallet. With the resources of the US government, sure. but not his checkbook.
he’s gonna buy Microsoft and rename it MicroXoft for fucks sake.
Read it as micrococks
The console bypass trick still works.
Thank god. I had to jump through so many hoops just to get a windows VM without a password.
Here’s the link for anyone who’s looking for it: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1761835728000954654
Nitter.net is alive!?
Yes, it recently came back to live
There are a few new instances: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances#public
Nitter (the software) recently had an update, as long as you just provide a valid Twitter account, you can easily run an instance. The previous versions of Nitter used an unauthenticated GraphQL API, but it was shut down at some point. I still don’t know how xcancel.com and nitter.poast.org managed to survive though.
