So in other words, just switch to Linux already

You don't even need Microsoft burner account

Rufus takes care of it for you and sets up the usb image to bypass.

Unfortunately, 2025 was not the year of Linux for my new HTPC due to some weird EDID incompatibilities between my LG and the Intel arc iGPU on several different distro. Refused to allow for 1440p outside of 120hz and refused to go above 60hz at 4k.

He used to be a Windows engineer, so it’s not surprising he’s still using it.

apple is sorta the opposite. you stop using their hardware and you can't really use your account anymore or at least recover it.

Ima start making charcoal wood, gathering mesquite as I wander about the southwestern part of our country for the rest of eternity.

Yeah but the demographic that will do this is like infinitesimally small. It’s fine, techies always know how to stick it to the man, but they succeed with most people so they get what they want. Not a dispute just a comment.

I like Dave's channels and content. But God I hope he doesn't start trying to wade into these sorts of debates with "hot takes". Nothing positive will come of publicly taking a side on this issue on Twitter/Bluesky for him.

I’m sure rufus will also still remove requirements

Well, is it really an account if you never login to it? (or if you even delete it once you make a local admin account?)
