I just bought a Surface Pro laptop. Why do they require you to enter in so much stupid info before you get started? Why the fuck does it need to know when my birthday is? Why do I have to set up some dumb ass Microsoft account? Damn thing asked me if I want it to activate the camera to look at my face every time I turn on the computer? Fuck that face detection bullshit.
Next question it asks: Do you want to set up a PIN? "No".....it just sits there and there's no way to move past setting up a PIN. Why ask me then? I don't want to set up a damn PIN because I'm tired of remembering passwords and PINs. Fuck it, I have to do it, so I enter in 1111. Nope, it won't let me enter in a common string of numbers. Piece of shit. I turned the damn thing off and sat it aside.
It's been a while since I owned a laptop or bought a new computer. How nice it used to be when it just asked if you'd like to set up your email and then it was ready to work.
Our great grand parents would be rolling in their graves knowing how much of our privacy we've given up.
The windows 10 pin insistence can avoided by having the net access disabled during installation and choosing to use a local account.
