Just set up a windows spits rig for a family member because old. My god the insanity of it all. From untoggling shit to stop ms spits from spying and toggling other shit to stop ms spits from spying, and dealing with uefi settings to get it to a level of security without allowing ms spits to lock it down cost me a full day.
Then I had to deal with the ridiculousness that is their permission system to let them browse their own files from a different hard drive.
I love that it also sets up the first user as a full admin and I had to create another account and lock down all the stupid crap that would allow them to destroy everything.
Just the initial booting was longer than it would have taken me to install and fully set up the mint distro I had ready to install on my USB stick (for the use case they'd be using)
I was going to set up a server so they could access stuff and watch free stuff on their TV with the old PC, but that will have to wait for another visit.
Even I was astounded at the length of time it took.
I was expecting stupidity but ms spits has taken it way too far.
(I did install without any account at all though, and did manage to get full GUI desktop environment Ubuntu running in wsl though, so that was fun - for me)
When there are 4 or 5 companies worth over a trillion dollars each, and those companies combine for 60% of the volume and value of the S&P and NASDAQ, and they are all in on ai, well....

So, Bibi kills 10000 more kids first, and the media covers for him, and then the 'deal' 'falls apart' when 'hamas leadership' is hiding in a 'humanitarian envoy' and the IDF has to blow it up because reasons.
They are literally terrorists terrorizing citizens by committing acts of violence on civilians and politicians to influence or coerce their political activity and behaviors.

I still use a phone that hasn't received ota security or play security updates in 4 years.
Yet, they still installed - without notice or consent - safety core (to rescue me from naughty text messages) to scan my images.
Funny how they can rapeload apps onto my devices without my consent that work on 3 generations old hardware/os but they can't update the security and they want everyone else to register to be able to provide foss apps to people for free.
Moral of the story - tech co's and gov id requirements are evil and have no basis in actual security.
Now that peoples data has been exposed, they are susceptible to id theft. So, how does a site or gov deal with that?
There suddenly are over 9000 Stan Smith's on the site. Weird.
Well, guys, for the safety of... .. (Murmuring... We're using the kids as justification this time or terrorism... Kids. OK.) the children, we will require a blood sample to verify your genetic code.
