I really love how *this* is the deal-breaker, having to sign in to an
online account, OMFG what a travesty, never mind the Copilot+
bullshit, never mind the ever-increasing Windows bloat, never mind
that your shiny new Win11 box will be outdated in four years' time.
Jesus Christ, people, get with Linux, before you just sell your
computing soul to M$.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
