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.
And when this all wasn’t enough, your silence while setting up your pc gets interupted by this and you nearly get a heart attack because you where on full volume.
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
Worse of all is that nowadays even some cars have some subscription based features, that already came with the car. It’s a shit practice and should be outlawed.
The only subscription I am willing to pay for monthly is the fee for 5G as that is outside of the manufacturers control.
If you won’t let me pay to get the upgraded lights when I buy the car but only offer a subscription for them, I’m not going to buy a car from you, end of story.
Yeah so basically connectivity services, makes complete sense charging for those specially if the car came with a sim card integrated and needs to connect to ISPs in different countries.
Am I the only millennial that doesn’t mind phone calls? Don’t get me wrong, I very much prefer an SMS or email if it will suffice but phone calls tend to be quicker if you need something taken care of immediately.
