I have, as here, by the grace of God.

[I used https://poe.com to format this, and to which I only bolded section tittles. I could not paste too much at once (about 2,000 words), and and sometimes I needed to to repeat the instructions. And which were,

“I am going to paste sections of a transcript (which is a “wall of text” having no paragraph spacing or punctuation) and I want you to render each section of a transcription readable (to humans) by only adding punctuation, and paragraph spacing, and capitalization of pronouns and proper names. So here is the section to do that to:“

Despite this developers seeming lack of research, you need not disconnect: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/suspend-or-resume-bitlocker-protection

Microsoft has access to all the data on your Win11 computer.

I recommend the Internet for research if needed: https://windowsreport.com/disable-windows-11-telemetry/

I recently e-wasted a few hundred pounds of servers and workstations. All of the drives are beside me at my desk... lol

I had an installation at SHAPE in 1992. The Sun servers were dual connected to IPI drives. Fast fail-over. About 3 weeks after install, drives started crashing. I sent a list of serial numbers to Sun in Germany. ALL of the drives came from a lot with defective filters and HDA connectors that were not properly affixed. I had to work with a couple RAF techs to fully disassemble all of the drives. The circuit boards and platters went into a vat of acid. Only the housings with the serial numbers were saved to ship back to Seagate via Sun. We indeed found missing filters and loose connectors between the HDA ribbon and circuit board. Once replaced, the system ran as designed. It was a first class pain in the butt.

This guy is good! I have seen a few of his videos. He developed and sells smartphone that cannot track you, that cannot phone home to google n others. I believe it uses a unique Linux OS.

I will never buy an “AI ready” Windows 11 computer that has a neural AI chip on board. Though maybe for a Linux one.

Bootlicker locked me out of my new Lenova laptop. What a pain to recover. This guy sounds like he discovered something new that MS has hooks into its products. I’m not sure turning off bootlicker is the solution.

There is still. For now, ways around the ms account requirement. A vew ways actually. Some involve registry changes. There are a few videos on how to do it.

Yep. Everyone used to be owrried about the foreign countries like china spying on them through tech, which im sure they do, but right here in the us it is microsft spying on consumers now. Putting foreign countries to shame in the spying business. Ms is so blatant about it too.

No, but you wont be able to acrivate windowx without a ms account likely. Gonna have to find and save older 24h versions of windows, install that without an account, and keep,it offline always basiczlly so that ms doesnt update it to 25h. If you wanna be able to get online, dual boot with linux is the way to go. But if you keep windows off the net, it cant phone home to ms or third party conpanies.

Microsoft has forced programs you will use that will require bitlocker and all the other things the guy describes. He mentioned banks and TurboTax. There will be others like your web browser.

People found out when they bought hardware like a printer or a camera and the software says it needs window 10 but you had windows 7. You are forced to upgrade even though the drivers could be made for windows 7. Same now for windows 11 and the coming version 12.

Question is WHO is requiring this?
It ain’t Microsoft.

Yiu are forced to upgrade

I still use Quicken 2004 because I refuse to get sucked into an annual subscription model for personal accounting. But it wouldn’t run on my Windows 10 machine. So I’m still running a Windows 7 laptop. But that won’t have internet connection with an upgraded router.

Yes, but they will be disabling the registry keys, and the offline workaround to get into cmd prompt from the out of box setup. Their engineers have told me as much. Currently, you can use Rufus to modify your image to bypass it as well.
