    So the “tech genius” doesn’t know how to install windows without a Microsoft account and doesn’t know how to Google it?

    May I introduce the man who wants you to think he is a genius!

    Thanks Elon for being so transparently incompetent.

      And yet my parents still believe that he must have had some competence to be in the place he is at now. Illusion of meritocracy blinds so much.

        That is the insane part. Honestly I thought so. I literally read an bias as fuck biography of that guy, believing that I would find some competency. Even they failed to spin the yarn in that way. The most positive spin was effectively “musk is a good promiser/beggar”.

        Context, it was in the early Tesla days, in which people hope he would kickstart a change.

      Is it possible to do that on latest windows 11 home installation? I thought they disabled local accounts completely.

        It sure looked like an option last time I tried, but it was more hassle and I was just trying to create a guest account for a friend, so I didn’t bother.

        Also Microsoft backed off on the intrusive AI stuff about 5 minutes after announcing it because there was such an uproar. The funny part is I was working for Microsoft at the time, and you could tell the leadership really thought consumers were gonna love it.
