It's nonsense. If it's an "oppressive governments" which is restricting 
which websites their population can access, then that will purposely 
include using VPN services as well.  :-\

Apple is preventing these criminals from harming the government by disabling
their accounts so it can't happen that they will try to harm the government.

Don't do that. It's what criminals do.

Which is why Apple and Microsoft SHOULD disable their devices.
What criminal actions are they hiding?

Apple does disable devices where Apple suspects criminal activity.
Don't act like a criminal and Apple won't disable your devices.

Why can't these people fully identify themselves to Apple?
Maybe face id? 

Once Apple is satisfied they are not criminals Apple can then unlock their
device if they bring it into an Apple store to show their government ID.

Apple's role is to protect us from those criminals.

If they don't have government ID to show Apple, then they don't deserve to
even be in the USA let alone operate a powerful Apple computing device.

You have to ask why are they hiding their identity from Apple.
Apple has the right to protect its devices from criminals by disabling them.

It's not sarcastic. It's real. It happens all the time at the Apple Stores.

Apple remotely disabled their device because Apple suspected criminal
activity at home.

All they have to do to get their device undisabled is they bring that Apple
device into any convenient local Apple store and prove to Apple they aren't
using that disabled Apple device for criminal activity.

Apple employees will undisable their device if they show they are the
rightful owners, with receipts, and if they provide Apple their government
issued identification to Apple employees to confirm their identity to Apple.

Then Apple WILL remove the disabling lock on their Apple device.
It may sound like sarcasm to you but that is real Apple policy. Look it up.

it's not real and it doesn't 'happen all the time'.

no they didn't. apple has no way to do that, even if they were aware of
criminal activity, which they aren't.

plenty of iphones and macs are used for criminal activity, as are
android phones, windows and even linux.

the only way an iphone or ipad can be disabled is after 10 incorrect
passcode guesses or if the legitimate owner puts it into lost mode.
android is similar. 

a criminal who stole a phone might encounter that, but if they're
calling/texting their buddies for their next hit, using their own
phones, everything will work as expected.

QUESTION:
 *Given Apple can (and does) lock you out - will Microsoft do it too?*

I am extremely well educated, and as a result, I provided _proof_ of
everything that I claimed, and, the question is perfectly valid indeed.

The _adults_ looked at the facts I provided and all agreed what they show.

It's a fact that I tested myself and I provided proof of the results.
Hence the question is valid given Microsoft is following Apple's plan.

Nonetheless, I've stepped out of this "conversation" because once the iKooks
infest any thread, they destroy any and all intelligent conversation.

The iKooks _hate_ facts about Apple so they call these facts, trolls.
And yet, they're very real indeed.

FACTS:
a. Apple can unilaterally lock you out of your system when they feel like it
b. Apple can even unilaterally disable your system when they feel like it
c. Apple _does_ unilaterally do _both_ of those things (see proof provided).

ASSESSMENT:
A. Sans any proof the iKooks declare that Apple can't do what Apple does
B. Sans any proof the iKooks declare that anyone who says so is a troll
C. Yet all iKooks are ignorant uneducated defenders of Apple to the death

QUESTION:
 *If Apple can (and does) lock you out - will Microsoft do it too?*

Exactly. Most sites with information that is deemed highly sensitive 
also have a database of which IP pools belong to VPNs. When you log into 
such a site from such an IP, it makes sense that they would be extra 
careful. Apple is no different in this respect and frankly much better 
about protecting the user than Windows, Linux or even the companies 
peddling security products in many respects.

And yet, the fact remains my devices are _not_ stolen.

The fact remains that the mothership algorithms suck.
They're written by what is, in effect, kindergarten coders.

You can't deny that fact since it's based on what happened.
a. They locked me out of my own device
b. And yet, it's not stolen.

You have to remember the VPN issue happened _two_ years later.
For two years the mothership has been nagging me for a re-validation.
For two years, a hundred times a day, I declined their offer.

That's when they locked me out.
That's when I tried to _unlock_ using VPN.

And then they disabled the device altoghether.
And yet, the proof their coding is kindergarten is I committed no crime.

You can't deny that fact.
Their algorithms are kindergarten.

For you to claim that those are intelligent algorithms is to defy fact.
The fact is I committed no crime and yet they locked me out of my device.

Clearly Apple permanently destroys your equipment on a mere whim.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/q75t7MSk/appleid03.jpg>
*What's to stop MS from destroying your PC like Apple does, on a mere whim?*
 <https://i.postimg.cc/g008YhxP/appleid02.jpg>

Three _adult_ points, _without_ needing any Apple examples are... 
1. If Microsoft now forces a login on we users
2. Then what's to stop Microsoft from locking us out of our own computers
3. Much like Google Gmail will if you don't _exactly_ follow _their_ rules?

An adult point _with_ Apple is... 
A. If Apple can force you to re-verify yourself on a whim (which they do)
B. What's to stop Microsoft from forcing a re-verification on a similar whim
C. And, depending on your IP address alone, Microsoft will destroy your PC

Google does it... 
Apple does it far worse than does Google (as they destroy the hardware!)
What's to stop MS from destroying your PC like Apple does, on a mere whim?

For example:
a. You have hardware setup #1 with boot disk #1 and Windows 11 license #1
b. For whatever reason, Microsoft pulls the Apple sleazy lockout trick
c. Does substituting a new boot disk #2 on hardware #1 re-engage license #1?

If Apple merely locked you out because you were using a VPN, that's 
quite shocking but it is probably the result of them expecting that you 
would log on from one location and suddenly finding it odd that you're 
logging in from another at a significant distance from the first. If 
they know you to be a person living in Chicago, for instance, then they 
would find it abnormal for you to suddenly be logging in from Miami. I 
imagine that you set the VPN for a different city, of course. It's 
hypersensitive but I imagine that a lot of users would find it

They can, but they probably won't since Windows is generally the default 
operating system for business users and these people are expected to 
travel and be in different locations at different times.

Yes, because they want to make sure that the reason you're logging in 
from a significant distance from your general location is because you've 
traveled, not because your hardware has been stolen or your credentials 
hacked by someone living on the other side of the world. It's a very 
understandable situation and frankly, I applaud them for being careful. 
Once you're logged in, I imagine you didn't face any further issues.

They might do that on an iPhone but they're not likely to do that on a 
Mac onto which you can easily just reinstall a separate OS or reinstall 
MacOS if ever you no longer have the credentials for the original user.

Of course they can but they probably won't. You do make a good case for 
why local accounts should be prioritized over cloud ones like what Apple 
and Microsoft are both pushing now though. The problem is that only 
Linux is still going the local route whereas everyone else is saying 
that cloud should be the default. There are tons of advantages to using 
the cloud approach since data can easily be migrated and synced from one 
device to another but it is also clearly less advantageous in regards to 
who truly controls the device or even your data.

Look. This thread isn't asking about Apple - it's asking about M$.
 *With the new login requirement, _can_ Microsoft do what Apple does?*

That is, Apple _requires_ you to periodically _validate_ your login.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/nrFHSvby/appleid11.jpg>

The VPN issue happens _later_ (didn't you look at _any_ of the pics)?
Besides, it doesn't matter why Apple unilaterally destroyed my iPad.

What matters is the question in this thread now that M$ forces the login.
 *Can Microsoft also lock you out of your PC in Windows 11 or not?*

It has _nothing_ to do with that.

Stop listening to the bullshit that nospam spews because he _hates_ Apple.
More specifically, nospam _hates_ what Apple is so he fabricates that crap.
He will defend Apple to the death by blaming the user for everything.

If you didn't look at the pictures, at least _look_ at this one shot.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/nrFHSvby/appleid11.jpg>
The fact is clear what Apple is trying to do!

But that doesn't matter because I don't care what Apple does to my iPads.
What I want to know in this thread is whether Microsoft can do that to me.

Can they?

The VPN issue happened _two years_ after the original issues.
Didn't you _look_ at any of the screenshots?

Or do you only listen to nospam (who is a world class bullshitter).
That nospam will defend Apple to the death, no matter what.

Anyway, this isn't about Apple. 
It's about Microsoft.

 *Now that Microsoft requires a login, can they lock up your PC too?*

No. They can lock you out of _Windows_, but not the hardware.

I don't think you're looking for an answer as much as to get people to 
look at your worthless pics, all provided without context.

How can you say that it's not about Apple when all you're doing is 
complaining about Apple and then asking whether Microsoft will 
potentially be as bad?

Seriously though, instead of spending so much money on hardware that you 
purposely lock yourself out of, consider spending that money on the 
psychiatric medication you've clearly run out of.

That's what I always had thought.

a. You have boot disk #1 on PC hardware #1 and Windows 11 license #1
b. For whatever reason, Microsoft locks you out of Win11 license #1
c. Your only recourse is boot disk #2

The question isn't _will_ but _can_ MS lock you out of Win11 license #1
(even if you substituted boot disk #2)?

That's really the question.

Microsoft _can_ blacklist a product key. If the product key itself is 
blocked, you can still install Windows, obviously, but not activate it.
