Funny thing, even if you do that you can be prevented from initializing the device. You get a “this phone was reset in an unusual way, sign in to the original account used for setup” message the may or not hint at an email address. I’ve got a stack of them on my desk from former employees that I’m trying to get back into. Pain in the ass for business, good for consumers.
I had this same thing happen when I tried to sign up years ago. There is no way around it, there is no alternative. The only option is to send them pictures of your ID, which is in the “hell no” category on my to do list.
In much the way I am aware of the Windows store: I avoid it and work to get the software directly from the source. I regularly run into the issue of software not being there or being of unknown version.
Perhaps that is some bias from Windows following me over.
I’m literally trying to get into Linux and one of the first things was installing software, which involves copying and running random bits of code from whatever website has the highest search result. I would say a lot of software is running code you have no idea what it does.
Expensive hell. Not only do you get to suffer, you have to pay heavily for the privilege!
Lazy! Dozing Donny has better alliteration!
You can, it’s just got a lot of hoops to jump through. Easier in the pro version for work, but I just set the email to a@a.a and then it errors out before letting you make a local account.
Yeah, very worried. Why would they purchase something unless they thought it would be profitable? I don’t want profitable software, I want fairly priced software.
Getting lunch at 12:30: long lines, long wait times, too many people, waste most of your break time.
Getting lunch at 11:30: short lines, get food quickly, avoid the crowd, eat sandwich at a park and enjoy the sunshine.
People should not be required to pick between teams and should instead be able to choose their opinion on individual issues. Parties just remove middle ground and force voters to cluster together. What if you were against an issue that your party championed? Doesn’t matter, you either need to get on board or change teams.
Killing the political party seems like it would be in the people’s best interest.
That feels like it should be illegal.
Fuck future tech news, accept current news, praise analytical news based on historic data.
Have you ever watched the Air Bud movies? They say things like “well there’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball.” A lot of things are like that, unless there is someone to say “yeah, but if you do that we’re picking up the ball and leaving” or the better “yeah, but if you try we’ll pick you up and throw you out.”
The best time to plant trees is 50 years ago. The second best time to plant trees is right now.
Well, the other side would be operating systems you can’t really screw up too badly because they are locked down harder, so perhaps it’s fear of the unknown?
Pfft, that’s what the asset tags are for. Clearly my laptop is the one with the number 2760754 on a… sticker… son of a bitch!
As unintuitive as it may seem, the price charged to customers has little to do with the costs of providing the service.
Click, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, tab, space
I love hearing about a new tool like this.
