#720264 — Ahoy Pie R8s! New Win11

Ahoy Pie R8s!

Even though I use GNU/Linux exclusively we all need to maintain
a working version of Win11.  After all, the world is composed of
retarded assholes and retarded assholes can only use Win11.

But my Win11 installation was getting somewhat "old."  I installed
it way back in 2022 and things have changed since then (of course
I always have updates disabled and thus everything stays the same).

I therefore decided to install a newer Win11 version.  I grabbed
a w4r3z of Windows 11 Pro, 25H2, build 26200.7462.  The 8Gb d/l
was completed in a few short minutes but the burn to a USB drive
took almost 15 fucking minutes.  That's 'cause the burn allows
the disabling of TPM, RAM, CoPilot, and all the other forced
crap.  Kudos to the h4x0rs!  (This also an "ancient" machine
being based on a Core i7 2600).

The install also required about 15 minutes and involved several
reboots (that's M$ crap for ya').

The activation went as smooth as silk, however, and now I have
a permanent Win11 and Orifice2024.  Kudos to the h4x0rs!

But it is now several hours and I am still working my way through
that byzantine/rocco crap configuration mess that defines M$
lunacy.

In particular I need to disable that bullshit "Defender."
It used to be a matter of elevating to "Tusted Installer"
and then disabling the appropriate services, but that does
not work with this newer version.  I disabled it via Group
Policy but the services are still running.  I may need to
boot with a Gentoo Live USB and then delete the directory.

Anyway, I disabled updates even though I have no plans to
ever allow this Win11 to connect to the network.  I can
transfer all files via "sneakernet" from GNU/Linux.

Again, kudos to all the global h4x0rs that allow M$ to
be so easily whipped.

Why would you use "warez" of *Microsoft's* OS?  Are you that ignorant of 
how Windows takes possession of your system?  You're just giving them 
*permission* to fuck with you.  I paid $200 to legitimately activate 
Win11 Pro on this thing when it *came with* a gray-market 11 Pro license 
already, and they have to a very limited extent fucked with me *even 
so*.  That is because of who I am, I realize, but nevertheless, if 
you're admittedly using "warez" Win11, I mean, you are not the computer 
science wizard you claim to be.

Sodomite Joel still has not answered the question of how many
times he shits the bed in a given week.

How many times did you shit the bed?

Haaaaaaaaa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

This newer Win11 is really fucked.

I d/led some h4x0r tools and then attempted to execute
them by "clicking" on them from File Explorer.  I immediately
received a warning (this was before I disabled that stupid shit)
explaining that the files might be malware and that I could
not execute them.

So I immediately invoked Powershell, navigated to the relevant
directory (folder) and executed them via CLI.  There was no problem.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  I almost fell off my chair
with crippling laughter.

Smart job Micro$hit!

But I eventually disabled that security bullshit.

It requires a LONG TIME to beat this M$ junk into submission
but it can be done.

Whew baby!  Only a supremely retarded dunce would desire to
use Micro$hit Winblows!

But as has been stated, one must be prepared to deal with
the retarded assholes of the world.

Why not just use Win11 more or less as it comes, I have my settings and 
StartAllBack, but I'm not gonna buttfuck the system like some people do, 
it's weird.

So, don't use it. Why do you care about it if you are using exclusively
Linux? Just to be able to complain about it? Or because you can't admit

Yes, I knew it. You are a GUI boy pretending to use a terminal.

Oh, you know more about Powershell than about bash? What a Windows

It's easier to avoid using Windows in the first place.

   Just sayin' ... DUMP Winders/Apple !!! NEVER look
   at them again ! Linux/Unix can do everything you
   need - for a fraction of the CPU/Disk. Yer $200
   box will perform like a $800 box.

   Winders/Apple became EVIL a LONG time ago IMHO.
   Don't give 'em a dime.

Win11 can be a great OS, actually.  It's less so when it's pirated, 
though, and these manhandling schemes with Rufus, to get around TPM, 
show that some people simply want to claim Windows for its software, but 
are willfully ignorant of or are outright trying to deconstruct 
Microsoft's established patterns for how the OS is installed and used. 
There's just not a good reason for this, ultimately, it's trying to 
orchestrate a husbandry of the OS that simply isn't necessary, if one 
were humble, I do change important settings from the defaults, and such, 
but forcing modifications to the Windows system as it's delivered is 
just attempting to customize the product into something that ultimately 
fails to retain the components that MS provides, it's running away from 
what a complete Windows OS is.  I, for one, want the experience to be 
fundamentally intact.

It's hot garbage - worse than 8/10, which were already worse than 7.
Having failed to capture the tablet market with a bad imitation of iOS,
they've apparently set their sights on failing to capture Mac users
with a bad imitation of OSX - and the inevitable UI fuckery would be
annoying enough, but on top of that you're perpetually stuck with a
dozen Edge processes running in the background to serve up the New New

is shit on top of WSD still being shit, Defender is more of a hog and
more controlling than ever, etc. etc. etc.

I dunno, I think my experience with this eight-thread mini PC proves 
Win11 is good, if it can perform well on the hardware I'm using, with 16 
GB RAM shared with its GPU, then Linux is only better on computers that 
are inadequate to run modern Windows.

I think that's a chromium 'feature'.  I use Brave, which is also chromium 
based, and it launches a lot of processes. 'killall' comes in handy if you 
want to shut it down without closing all the tabs.

Yes, that is correct.  Joel sticks things up his asshole.
In fact, he most likely has a butt plug up his ass as he
writes these posts.

Is this the kind of person with which you would like to
correspond?

I hope not.

The only thing I "stick up my asshole" is a finger, if I feel that urge, 
I like real live girlcock on a transgender woman, or potentially a cock 
on a man, beyond that.  Your obsession with that is merely an excuse not 
to deal with how I pwn you over and over about your nutty computer ventures.

Another impotent loser, in a pathetic attempt to make himself
feel powerful, reports to a totally disinterested crowd that
he has added a poster to his killfile.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

The behavior is well cataloged.

I thought that the OP made that very clear.

The dregs of the world, and especially the corporate dregs,
utilize software that have no GNU/Linux versions.  To accommodate
these dregs, if the occasion should arrive, it requires
an M$ Win system at the ready.  I will keep a dedicated machine
for that purpose.

I refer to professional software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks,
PSpice, etc.

When it comes to pro software, it is all about the GUI, and
the developers of these programs are so entrenched in M$ Win
GUI frameworks that they could never port to GNU/Linux.  Never.

There are some notable exceptions (Mathematica, Maple, and
Matlab) but by and large the pro world runs on M$ Win.
This is regrettable.  This is unfortunate.  But it is
also reality.

I am not knocking GNU/Linux.  I prefer it and use it for
much paid ($$$) pro work but the dregs of the world know
only M$ Win.

Thus, it is not inappropriate for the GNU/Linux advocate
to install Win11.

Well that's OK because I am not a Linux/Unix advocate. I am a contented 
user.

You are receiving a supremely potent free and open (as in freedom)
OS at no cost (as in free beer).

Every GNU/Linux/FOSS user must in return give something back to the
community.

If you can't program or debug then you can at the very least advocate.

   Kinda agreed ... but SOME don't Get It.

   M$ is a DISASTER of an OS. Apple, well, it's
   JUST as greedy. It now plans to "lease" iPhones
   and such - you NEVER own one, can NEVER pay
   them off, NEVER quit. $$$ for Apple FOREVER now
   matter HOW shitty they get.

   Long long back, Bill Gates/M$ were sort of HEROES.
   DOS 1.x/2.x/3.x were GOOD for the period and M$
   wasn't all twisted about you copying their stuff
   or compilers and such.

   And then it all went SO BAD ...

   At some point soon I'm gonna need to buy a
   half-ass big-screen "phone". HATE 'em. Keep
   a little FLIP as my mobile now. My carrier is
   not gonna support my great old landline much
   longer - they've already raised the PRICE
   insanely, hoping I'll quit. Clue, I'm NOT
   gonna buy the new crap-phone from THEM - but
   from another. Pref Android. Samsung phones
   are gonna be IT.
