Musk 'texts' Nadella about Windows 11's demands for a Microsoft account
- Fricken 3y agoHow long has it been since I've been able to get through a 24 hour tech news cycle without hearing about Elon? A decade, maybe? It just keeps getting dumber and dumber.
- ttyprintk 3y agoDoes Twitter still support custom stop words?
- VenkatPram7 3y ago> There's a name for individuals who demand to speak to the manager at the slightest provocation. I don't think that's fair here. Microsoft should not require a Microsoft Account to use Windows. But I as an individual cannot change Microsoft's position. I'm not saying Elon can either, but I suspect his feedback will carry more weight.

- uLogMicheal 3y agoOthers might be thankful that someone with access brought attention to this issue for many people at a higher level. Sure you can bypass this with a few buttons and a string, but is that really a good user experience? Maybe difficult to not bring personality bias into the situation and see the action itself as good. edit: Ah guess the top level comment is gone now...

- rainonmoon 3y agoYeah, right? How is this not hypocritical given the post-Musk implementation of requiring an account to view tweets?
- i67vw3 3y agoAtleast let us read the whole thread instead of a single post (with or without top replies).
- amomchilov 3y agoIt’s a rather different scenario. You bought the laptop, you own it. That used to mean something. If Musk wants to paywall all Twitter content, or heck, rebrand it into a StarWars fan club, who cares? Not I. But I care about my computer.
- markx2 3y agoYou bought the laptop, so you own the hardware. You did not buy the software, you only get a license, and that comes with it's own terms.
- reneberlin 3y agoWindows: the entrydrug into "personal" computing. /s You need to learn to hack and tweak it, before it gets personal again.
- rsynnott 3y agoThis would be the same guy who put a hard login wall on Twitter threads? I mean, I suppose even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but if there's anyone who lacks credibility to complain about this...
- rasz 3y agoCan you own&use a Tesla car without an account? Thought so.
