      You guys kept upvoting all the “Windows vs Linux” memes.

      This is a Windows instance now

        It’s nice to have an alternative… whatever that alternative might be… some of us do dual boot.

    What about viewing Tweets without an X account?

    What about maintaining a Tesla without a Tesla account?

    I figured out how to get windows 10 up and running without creating an account after like 10 minutes of googling. It requires actually doing things and not pretending to do them, so it might be beyond his ability.

      This all is assuming Musk is actually setting up his own computer, which I’m gonna lean towards not likely.

    If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step…

    press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.

    Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.

    Wow, Elon, you think it’s bad to give one company full control over something? You think someone should step in and stop them? You think closed ecosystems are bad for customers? HMMM

    Too bad he wasn’t making dumb comments about Linux.

    I’d love to see Linus unload one of his smack down rants on Elon.

    I think he’s more angry that Microsoft dares to pressure their users to give their ChatGPT thingy data instead of paying him, the big Elon to give them “X: the partisan shitstorm collection, remastered edition”

    How stupid can a person be and still so rich. What is a “PC Laptop” and why would an account “give their AI access to my PC”. Dude.

      As opposed to an “Apple Laptop” because fascists are weird. And perhaps he’s talking about Microsoft copilot being shoved into windows 11. But this is a very generous read. By no means do I like the guy.

        Luck has nothing to do with it. Daddy’s apartheid emerald mines money and megalomania got him there. He didn’t invent anything, he’s just a glorified investor. All of ‘his’ successful companies are other, smarter people’s ideas he ‘stole’ by forcing them to make him ‘co-creator’ as a requirement to invest his cash.

        It’s all about pushing a narrative. If he did it the ‘normal way’, he would probably be seen as a decent VC, known in some business circles but in the shadow from a general audience perspective. By making himself the ‘co-creator’, he deperately tries to makes us think he’s the genius he believes he is, and gain the power and influence that come with it.

        There are positions in all these companies where people are working roud the clock to prevent him from fucking everything up. And sometimes, even they can’t prevent idiotic bullshit like the Cybertruck. Tesla and SpaceX work because they actively spend a massive amount of energy to work against his moronic ideas. Twitter is the best example of what happens when he’s given free rein.

        It wasn’t luck, if he were lucky he wouldn’t have fucked everything he’s ever touched up.

          I mean, SpaceX is still a legitimate success story… I think that has a lot to do with Gwynne Shotwell and the engineers dedicated to pushing forward spaceflight, but as much as I despise him and even kind of want SpaceX to crash and burn just to spite him, if I’m being honest it is still the one thing he’s touched that is a legitimate success, both technically, and commercially.

    Can you even use a Tesla without it collecting and sending a ton of data without doing something that voids the warranty?

      Nowadays you have a hard time seeing posts on Twitter without being logged in. Dude tries to create an outrage over something he does himself and that is even easier to avoid.

    You aren’t forced. Its just extremely obfuscated and you have to enter bogus info if you don’t want to use the command line.
