I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Yesterday i got the standard setup steps from windows after booting. I use to skip them most of the time, because i don t want to use edge and so on and sometimes they reapear. Yesterday i thought, i’ll do them now, then never again this will bother me. When i got to the point of logging into my microsoft account i could not remember the password and had no possibility on the gui to get back and skip all, leaving me seemingly unable to use my own frickin computer. As i got more and more angry i clicked on “forgot password” which sends me an email with a code. I see the email appear on my phone and without even a chance of entering the code it sent me back to the enter password prompt. Even more angry and cursing to myself i pressed the forgort password text again leaving me with the same result. As i was close to exploding, my computer somehow decided to show “You are finished!” like he knew i had enough.

      I fucking hate this shit with passion and purposely setup my PC without internet connected every damn time I format.

      I once connected to WiFi during the setup and got stuck in the same place and I wanted to burn my house down.

      I was installing win 11 multiple times in VM on the same day. On 3d install I couldnt skip microsoft account with no internet lol. Same ISO, same PC, no internet wtf. First time I experienced that in my life and then I downloaded win 10. Im not gonna make microsoft account ever. We dont even have accounts on win 11 machines at work (we bought win 7 license and then upgraded legaly I guess). There was always option to skip or use offline account, but seems like some shit ai is trying to fool us or Im tripping
