Comment on Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoOh no the poor companies making money off a product might have to update a product made in 1992😱😱😱how will they ever recuperate an investment that is free every 32 years.
Also a Monopoly is able to use monopolistic behavior to force companies to use their product and mask it as “FREE”*** then still charge the user with ads is not a good thing just look at the price delta between equivalent windows and chrome books if you don’t believe me.
IM not saying you have to get the L word I would literally get a MacBook at this point.

What? Huh? The fuck are you even trying to say with that first paragraph and what connection does it have with my comment?
My point was that for someone calling people still willing to use Windows stupid, your lack of knowledge about the actual cost (and how almost no user is paying the full cost) makes you look incompetent at best.
There was precisely zero there lamenting Microsoft missing out on money. Check my host lemmy instance, it’s the piracy one. There’s a reason I name dropped the best open source tool for tricking Windows into thinking you have a valid license. Steal your OS, I don’t give a fuck. The only “validly” licensed personal machine I have is my main desktop, and only because it was my first time doing a manual customized Win 10 install so I didn’t want to fuck around with faking the license to save myself $20 for an OEM license.
…
Which brings me to my next point. For someone being so bull headedly elitist about how bad Windows is, and how smart they are, you’re completely unaware of how easy it is to make Windows work for you and disable all the user hostile shit like ads.
It’s called install the Pro version of the OS and use Group Policy manager. 90% of the settings are clearly labeled in there too, like “Disable Cortana Internet Search”, “Disable OneDrive integration”.
