How long before you can’t turn this off or uninstall it, just like Edge, or Bitlocker, or TPM, or mandatory Microsoft accounts?

Just pirate windows server or other enterprise editions which can be used only by business

Absolutely. I spent like 3 hours the other day trying to get a W11 vm running; trying to emulate TPM and faking secure boot. I gave up and installed server in 5 minutes 😑

Hi there! I have a tiny11 ISO that I always use to install Windows on stuff when needed. I've never encountered this issue before. Have you tried using Rufus to put the ISO on the USB? It has options for stuff like that. I can't say how successful they are, as I guess tiny11 does a lot of that itself?

[–] TommyJohnsFishSpot@lemy.lol 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Huh, I've never heard of that before. Fortunately, I rarely need to use the one program in my workflow that requires windows and it supports windows server.

No problem! I just wanted to see if I might be helpful in some way! Cheers!

I'm guessing that the answer to that is .. as soon as openai collapses .. hopefully.

I'd give it another year at best.
