  • Yeah I generally dislike when people are like “switch to Linux lololol” on a support thread… But there legit isn’t really anything you can do. You may find some obscure hacks to disable it, but as you see microsoft will just undo th at the next mandatory update.

    Then just like local accounts, one by one they’ll start removing workarounds and punishing you for doing them.

    OP I hate to be that guy, but maybe a dual boot is the way to go for now. Microsoft is only going to make this harder.




  • Hanselman pointed to a Microsoft blog post noting that, starting in October, the company began requiring “mandatory account verification for all partners in the Windows Hardware Program,” which also covers certifying software drivers. Last month, the company updated the post to say: “Accounts that did not successfully complete account verification and received a Rejected verification status have been suspended from the Windows Hardware Program, and submissions from these accounts are no longer permitted.”

    So they didn’t hand over their blood and urine samples to Microsoft so they don’t get to be developers anymore



  • Yesterday my spouse was trying to figure out how to set up copilot. I was trying to show them how I use AI to automate some of my flows, and tried to set it up for them, but turns out Copilot is different under every area of the company. Github Copilot != Office Copilot != Windows Copilot. They are all different and require different subscriptions! Horrible horrible user interface. Even the shit they’re trying to push everywhere on everyone is convoluted to hell. Why in the hell is would there not be one subscription that gives you access to everything?

    Microsoft is bloated and bureaucratic, and this whole thing proves it. They never think out of their divisional lines and it shows so hard. “Why would our subscription need to be linked with X or Y division?” _Because to a customer, there are no divisions, it’s just Excel and Visual Studio, it’s all just microsoft.
