You aren’t forced. Its just extremely obfuscated and you have to enter bogus info if you don’t want to use the command line.
elon speaking fax for once
How stupid can a person be and still so rich. What is a “PC Laptop” and why would an account “give their AI access to my PC”. Dude.
As opposed to an “Apple Laptop” because fascists are weird. And perhaps he’s talking about Microsoft copilot being shoved into windows 11. But this is a very generous read. By no means do I like the guy.
just proves he got rich with luck and not anything else
and also lying about basically everything he does or sells
Luck has nothing to do with it. Daddy’s apartheid emerald mines money and megalomania got him there. He didn’t invent anything, he’s just a glorified investor. All of ‘his’ successful companies are other, smarter people’s ideas he ‘stole’ by forcing them to make him ‘co-creator’ as a requirement to invest his cash.
It’s all about pushing a narrative. If he did it the ‘normal way’, he would probably be seen as a decent VC, known in some business circles but in the shadow from a general audience perspective. By making himself the ‘co-creator’, he deperately tries to makes us think he’s the genius he believes he is, and gain the power and influence that come with it.
There are positions in all these companies where people are working roud the clock to prevent him from fucking everything up. And sometimes, even they can’t prevent idiotic bullshit like the Cybertruck. Tesla and SpaceX work because they actively spend a massive amount of energy to work against his moronic ideas. Twitter is the best example of what happens when he’s given free rein.
It wasn’t luck, if he were lucky he wouldn’t have fucked everything he’s ever touched up.
Even a barbecue cannot roast that well
I mean, SpaceX is still a legitimate success story… I think that has a lot to do with Gwynne Shotwell and the engineers dedicated to pushing forward spaceflight, but as much as I despise him and even kind of want SpaceX to crash and burn just to spite him, if I’m being honest it is still the one thing he’s touched that is a legitimate success, both technically, and commercially.
But not because of him, it’s in spite of.
Said the shithead who forced signing into Twitter to view content.
There’s a tiny little white link on the bottom right side of that pane that says skip and then multiple panes after that with “yes, I’m really sure. F off Microsoft”.
Still extremely easy to miss and hilarious that he did.
It‘s not actually there in current windows versions. It takes some sort of workaround and I think you actually need to use the cmd. It is possible though.
I think Microsoft ships slightly different versions in different markets.
last time i installed win10 on my desktop, the skip option definitely wasn’t there, tried googling but couldn’t find a solution so i had to create that damn account. next day my laptop that i need for school wouldn’t let me log in anymore without an account. that day i joined team linux. btw i wonder if it would force that ms account crap if you had no internet at the moment?
On windows 11, I believe you just can’t set it up without internet. There’s a couple of registry hacks you can do to bypass that though.
I think it’s there if you install pro or enterprise
Not anymore with pro, iirc. It worked longer than home but they changed that, I think. Dunno for enterprise.
This takes a few minutes to test, so I did.
TLDR: You can do it in Win11 Pro at least, but the interface tries really hard to steer you into a Microsoft account.
Used the Windows image tool at https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
This created me a 23H2 ISO
Created a VM in VMWare Workstation and started setup
When asked for the key, I chose “I don’t have a product key”
When asked for version, I chose “Windows 11 Pro”
After the restart, during OOBE, it asks me how I would like to setup, I chose “work or school”
When asked to sign-in to Microsoft, I chose “Sign-in options”
I then chose to “Domain join instead”
I’m then asked to create a new standard user
Considering he’s a moron and probably insane, I’m not surprised.
He’s not the most technically savvy person…
Not since 11, even the no network trick doesn’t work. With Windows 10 if you didn’t give it a network it was like oh okay, I guess local account is the only choice.
Windows 11 has a screen that says it can’t find any WiFi or Ethernet adapter, and that you need one and connect to the Internet. It really doesn’t want you to not have a Microsoft account, you have to kill the whole setup in cmd and make the local account yourself. It’s insane.
As of recently, it doesnt even let you open cmd during setup. Found that out when setting up a win11 laptop for a colleague a couple weeks ago
Switches to linux: “There seems to be something called X on here! You seeing this too?”
“and somehow they not only made it first but they’re on the 11th version, very impressive might buy it later”
That’s too intelligent. He’d Xeet about how he’s going to sue X.org as a corporation and Santa Claus as an individual.
even Linux users know that X needs to be retired
This is neither about Linux nor a meme.
I reported it 🙃
Elon musk, the “real life iron man” can’t figure out how to by pass windows online account login?
the “real life iron man”
James Hobson is the actual real life Iron Man.
Jimmy Carr called him that on the Big Fat Quiz. Last time I wanted to punch that guy was when he was on JRE calling comedians philosophers. Time before that was when he got caught dodging taxes.
JRE means only one thing for me: Java Runtime Environment
A lot of hatred you got there towards a guy that looks like a haunted ventriloquist doll.
And he laughs like one, too
Ha ha haa!
What did Geppetto do to you?!
Roger Federers downy twin…
Nor can he find the irony of not being able to use something without having an account
Pot, meet kettle.
I ran into this 2 days ago. Turns out if you sign in with [email protected] and type in a bogus password it will just say “oops something went wrong” and you can create a local account.
This is indeed the quickest way to get round it.
Can’t you just not connect to the Internet?
No, that’s literally not an option anymore. The installer won’t let you proceed without an internet connection unless you do the Shift+F10 oobe\bypassnro trick then have to wait for it to reboot.
Wow wtf? What if you don’t have Internet? You can’t use windows?
I prefer [email protected]
my goto has usually been: [email protected]
Oh no!
If only there was a non-Windows alternative.
OMG! Elon you should totally direct your minions of big brain programmers to create a new OS… XOS? About 6 months oughta be enough time to crank that out.
XOS belongs to Transsion, for its Infinix line of smartphones using the Android skin.
I bet if he did try to make his own OS, he’d buy the rights to the name XOS. That, or he’d just do something that doesn’t make the list for dumbest things he’s ever done but is still really dumb and just use another random letter instead of X.
Pretty sure that’s exactly how Apple got to name iOS the same as Cisco’s IOS without getting obliterated by a trademark lawsuit.
Hmmm… maybe he can use OS X!
I’d unironically like to see that.
Why is “the most incompetent fascist alive can’t use Windows” a Linux meme?
You guys kept upvoting all the “Windows vs Linux” memes.
This is a Windows instance now
It’s nice to have an alternative… whatever that alternative might be… some of us do dual boot.
He’s probably banned from having an MS account.
Using another windows pc, make an 11 install USB by downloading Rufus USB. Then use it to download the English international windows 11 iso. After pressing start or whatever you get iption to remove online account, remake a local account, and remove system requirements as well as privacy questions etc.
Once installed, go to revi.cc and download the playbook and the Windows AME tool to “ameliorate” windows of all its bloat.
Sit back and enjoy a fast and local windows.
Or just use a easy to use linux distro and you have less headache than that.
I love that Rufus, just a simple bootable (not for Windows specifically) USB maker software, specifically targets a single piece of software (Win11) and offers you to install those mods. I find that kind of beautiful.
You can do it using a single terminal command run during set-up. No special images or imaging software required.
However, the point is not whether it is possible, but why it is so unnecessarily difficult. I think that question is easy to answer.
You can also install windows without an internet connection.
Not anymore. The last version of Windows 11 I installed on bare metal did not allow the trick when you just turn off the WiFi. I had to Shift+F10 to get to the command prompt, enter “oobe\bypassnro”, then reboot before it would allow a local account.
You can, by using the terminal trick I was referring to. If you simply try to set it up without connecting it to WiFi or Ethernet, it will not let you go past that screen until you connect to a network.
If anyone needs it and doesn’t know
