I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it’s free and it’s good.

u r absolutely right I have SO many complaints about Windows omg.

For anyone who’d like to follow along, I’m gonna share how to get around those things with group policies bc they’re more user friendly and descriptive than registry editor imo :3 I’ll also show how to get around needing a Microsoft account to get setup.

For the Device Setup

“OOBE” stands for Out Of Box Experience which is what that setup workflow is. But it also happens to be a folder with a little program in it that’ll let you skip connecting to the internet; this makes it so you don’t have to sign up with a Microsoft account and can just use a normal local one instead. And it already comes preinstalled! Here’s how you get to it:

  1. Hold Shift + F10, or Shift + Fn + F10 depending on your keyboard.
  2. Click inside the window that pops up, type the following and press enter afterwards to run it: OOBE\BypassNRO
  3. I believe it should restart your computer automatically, but if not then restart your computer or type: shutdown /r /t 0 /f

Now when you’re brought back to the setup workflow, the page where you connect to the internet will have a new button on it that lets you say you don’t have internet. Clicking that and proceeding through the rest of the setup lets you get around the Microsoft account thing.

Group Policies

You don’t have to know much about them, these are just a bunch of specific settings for what your computer can or can’t do that lets you decide how it works in different ways.

I’m gonna show you how to turn off the recommendations and internet stuff basically. For now bring up search and type gpedit, pick this

It’ll open up to Local Group Policy Editor and we can get started :3c

Start Recommendations

In the side menu, go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. Click on Settings to sort them with all the “Turn off” ones bumped to the top.

Here’s what you should set:

  • Turn off user tracking: enabled
  • Turn off feature advertisement balloon notifications: enabled
  • Remove Recommended section from Start Menu: enabled
  • Remove Personalized Website Recommendations from the Recommended section in the Start Menu: enabled
  • Do not search Internet: enabled

Windows Spotlight

Back in the side menu, go down to Windows Components > Cloud Content

  • Turn off all Windows spotlight features: enabled
  • Do not use diagnostic data for tailored experiences: enabled

Cortana

In the side menu, this one’s back at the top under Computer Configuration. You’re gonna want to go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search

  • Allow Cortana: disabled
  • Don’t search the web or display web results in Search: enabled

News and Interests

In the side menu go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > News and interests.

  • Enable news and interests on the taskbar: disabled

Microsoft Account Login Nudges

When you don’t use a Microsoft account they’ll nudge you repeatedly to sign in so you can “get the most out of your experience” *gag*. The group policy for turning that off has a note that suggests it might not work with Windows 11 though (implicitly), so you can close the group policy editor window now and for this last one let’s just open up the regular settings.

Go to System > Notifications > Additional settings, then uncheck all the boxes. And there ya go! (✿◠‿◠)ノ u are done.

Group policies are kind of a rabbit hole so while there is a lot more you could change or read into, for your own sanity’s sake I would advise against it and say call it a day lol

This is all extremely good information, thank you very much for the addition!

I endorse this as an IT technician. I do this to every new Win11 device I set up.

As a bonus, run Chris Titus Tech’s debloat tool on it.

It allows you to add tools, remove/disable shitty parts of windows, and easily change some settings. My default is running the preset for a desktop/laptop and applying security update settings, but there are so many options to customize. I used it on my personal laptop.

“Use Linux instead” is never actionable advice for most people so thank you for this

You’re interviewing as a software engineer and you sit down to begin a coding exercise via remote video chat. Your interviewer joins a minute late. You exchange light pleasantries, then intros. They ask you a few questions relevant to your experience and you answer them satisfactorily.

The interviewer says, “Right, lets move on to the coding exercise,” and directs you to a collaborative coding website. You select your language of choice and they begin to describe your problem.

“You have an array of souls recently liberated from their mortal shell, represented by this array of signed floats called "theDead”. You must design a function that determines which souls go to heaven and which souls go to hell,“

"Heaven and hell are empty. The cumulative value of all the souls in heaven and hell must both be nonzero, and exactly equal to each other. You may leave any number of souls in purgatory,”

“Your function must return a bool indicating whether the balance of heaven and hell can be met given the array of souls. The count of souls will be 0 < n < 1,000,000. Do you have any questions before you begin?”

#probably not what op is referring to but i keep thinking about those thinkpieces that are like #‘straight cis men HATE astrology because they are all obsessed with facts and logic and reason and rationality >:( #meanwhile women are intuitive and spiritual and emotional and have a better grasp on astrology <3’ THIS IS TRAD SHIT. THIS IS MISOGYNISTIC #YOU’RE SAYING THE SAME SHIT CONSERVATIVE MISOGYNISTS HAVE SAID ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN FOR CENTURIES AND JUST TACKING ON 'AND WOMEN ARE GOOD’

“I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?” - Ursula K. Le Guin

This seems to be the only time most thin people ever even see a glimpse of how deadly and widespread the oppression of fat people is. But usually the epiphany never actually happens. They just stay at the level of “Wow, everyone wants to be skinny SO bad! And some people even hurt themselves to become skinny….because being skinny is so important to people. Huh…🤔 Eh, probably not important. Let’s go shopping at a store that doesn’t sell clothes to fat people!😁” I am begging people to get to the next level of the equation and finally see the fatphobia all around them that their fat friends and family members have been forced to endure their entire lives but never talked about before. Because we live in a world where oppressing fat people is that normalized and accepted. Not even fat people talk about fatphobia because the bigoted view that our existence is a “blight” on society is ingrained into us from the day we’re born.

Please don’t stop at the few downsides thin people have to their thin privilege (downsides that fat people also experience but at a worse rate). Please don’t stop thinking at solely the level of how fatphobia affects you. Please. Please care about us fat people who are actually being killed and mutilated and beaten and starved. Not just threatened with the potential. Fat people are literally being killed and murdered every day because of fatphobia, and no change will ever be made until people start talking about it.

this is a way better model… you’ll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can’t see the full form, but i’d suggest having a “something else” option and dominant hormone question too.]

as a cis woman who’s had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it’d be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don’t have anymore, after all.

being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖

hack-saw2004:

i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni “well thats different, what you protested was good and what they’re protesting is bad.” as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.
