I don't think they ever patched the IP leaking, Skype was used to dox millions.

I agree, the encryption should be deliberate choice. And we've said nothing yet about the impact on performance.

You used to almost be forced to make a recovery CD or USB when encrypting a drive, now people don't even know how 'important' the MS account actually is.

Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I've tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.

• Ctrl + Shift + J before selecting secondary keyboard layout (sometimes you need to click on the outside borders of the form so the dev console pops up)
• Type this (can use autocomplete): WinJS.Application.restart("ms-cxh://LOCALONLY")
• Setup with local account

All the time, then people get ran around in circles, are given a too technical explanation and give up more often than not.

The encryption is not inherently a bad thing, but forcing people into account creation is where the trouble starts. With piss-poor customer support as the cherry on top, this should never be allowed.

Farmers find them frequently plowing their field over here in Belgium. Against experts advice they often leave them by the side of the road so they can continue their work. There have been countless stories of tourists trying to take them home followed by the bomb squad clearing part of an airport.

Yes it does, a client needed this documentation and I've tested it extensively. The only exception is when S-Mode is enabled.

You are wrong for now, it is still possible.

• Ctrl + Shift + F3 during setup gives you access to sysprep
• In an admin CMD you can excecute the BypassNRO.cmd script. In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\
• I have encountered one 24H2 installation where the oobe folder was empty, but if you copy the file from another device it works just the same
• Reboot from sysprep and you can now select "Install without internet" when selecting a WIFI

This will not work if you're already connected to a wifi. BypassNRO sets a registry flag, so it's only a matter of time till they patch it out, but it works for now.

Edit: Rufus also allows the creation of a local user when making the installation USB, skipping the entire setup process.

Maybe he meant Elon wasn't racist enough in his opinion?

I've asked some DJ's what radio they listen too and NTS has been unanimously answered. Very good variety, playlist for any mood and discovery is great as well.
