So tired of keeping like 10 different ethernet dongles, 5 of one model and 5 of another, because half of the new laptops can’t even connect to the internet with the windows install ISO due to lack of drivers.

Welcome back to the Win95/98/SE/XP era. Where everything old is new again.

A clean install will need a USB installer anyhow. So build it with RUFUS and enjoy the lack of a manual bypass.

RUFUS will build you a Windows installer that automatically bypasses the Microsoft Account requirement.

It also lets you bypass TPM 2.0 and lets you remove a lot of bloatware so it doesn’t even get installed in the first place.

The lower half of this meme is getting old to the point of being a bad joke. No-one does this except normies and people who buy pre-built systems that come with Windows already installed.

Schools were never meant to be places to learn. They were primarily for the working class to learn obedience and deference for their betters, so that they might make better factory workers. They were only meant to provide just enough education for the working class to understand instructions that they were given.

I think I should have been a librarian.

Not in America, you don’t. Librarians are getting doxxed, harassed, and getting death threats for protecting everyone’s right to read.

Some are even being arrested over the right to read.

It’s an ugly time to be a defender of truth and rights in today’s America.

The WiFi alone is enough to keep me employed.

30+ years in the IT industry, 44 using computers.

I will go through extraordinary lengths to hardline a system with an Ethernet port just to avoid using wireless.

It’s not that I don’t know wireless - I do. And that’s the problem. Even after three decades of using it, I still consider it to be by far the most unreliable and downright skanky networking method possible.

Damn, I could use some of that hardware.
