Yes, aslong as the gaggle of goons you bring with you don’t fuck it up.

Oh yeah. If you’ve got 4 GB ram, win 11 is going to absolutely skullfuck that machine.

That’s when I juggle knives for you.

Yes, I own a set of purpose-buily juggling knives.

Thought about doing fire this year, but I worked late, it was raining, and I didn’t get a chance to do a few days of practice to make sure I’d be in good form to safely do it

You’re goddamn right.

2016, we got a dictator because people wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil”.

2004, we got a warmongering fascist with daddy issues because we wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil.”

The irony of saying this when we literally have a fascist dictator trashing the Whitehouse because we checks notes didn’t vote for the “lesser evil” last year.

All those tech companies downsized or all together pulled out for some reason in the last year…

In a different timeline, that would be funny.

Too bad the Arbiter wasn’t around to council on that one.

Some people just obediently blow up the illegal broadcasts without reading them.

I’m here for it. Is it okay if I throw Facebook and Twitter/X on the pyre? I’ve long considered them to be horsemen of the apocalypse.

Yeah. I’m waiting on them to show ICE agents as helldivers or something. That IP could not be more clear about it’s parody of the far right “freedom” quislings.

… Did they not realize that the UNSC is an authoritarian fascist organization, and the Spartan program was originally aimed at fighting “rebels” who wanted to have control over the planets they lived on?

Literally the MC was kidnapped and experimented on to become a killing machine for the military junta for the express purpose of murdering colonists. No pay, no benefits, no end of contract.

There is still time to stop the key from turning.

Avoid it like the plague. Once you admit you have Internet, Microsoft never forgets.

Inconclusive. Re-used machines instead of new computers. Systems did have Windows 11 on them. OOBE\BypassNRO worked, but they may have pending updates.

Edit: one machine would not let me skip MS account sign in with OOBE\BypassNRO. IPConfig /Release immediately let me set up a local account.

OOBE\BYPASSNRO has been off and on for me, but so far nuking the network connection has always worked for me. I’m setting up a few new computers tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what tricks still work.

My go to is to pop open the console and run “ipconfig /release” right before you create an account. Win 11 will have you set up a local account if you don’t have a network connection.

I just click on “domain login”

It’s regular Windows 11, not Enterprise

You need to have 11 Pro or better to domain join a computer.

Your computer would also need to be joined to your domain to allow the login, so there is definitely some config going on that is not available to the typical home user.

Never left. I still have a shoe box full of floppies in my station wagon.

Shoot, this has been on my brain a lot lately. I’ve been thinking about a modern one-time pad scheme that uses USB drives. Wanna send your friend 16GB of encrypted messages? Next time you hang out, give them a cheap USB drive. Or, possibly have your phones generate and share a one-time pad using NFC.

Unfortunately, I think phones and USB drives are too vulnerable, but it would be a fun little project to build.
