Neil BrownThe idea that one should be forced to verify one's age or identity to use one's own computer absolutely baffles me.
Janeishly@neil Every time I login to Windows using a stupid pin code it makes me fume. It's my fucking computer! I just want to switch it on and start work
Perkeletheres no option to log in without password on windows these days?
Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)@ItsePerkele @janeishly @neil In Windows 10 it was still possible to set up a local account. On Windows 11 you can, but you might need to create one with a Microsoft Account first -- not 100% sure. But it is worth looking into whether you can. I *think* you can. The option is just not presented to you in a straightforward way in the setup dialogues.
My last windows was 10, I didn't have a password set up. I would wake up in the morning, turn on the computer, go make coffee and try to figure out how to wake up. Then I'd come back to the computer and it would have done its morning wake up routine and was ready to use. I had it set up so it opens the browser and audio player at start up. That way I came to a "ready to go" computer after getting my coffee.
These days with Debian I do have a password in the log in thing, but doesn't matter too much because it takes a fraction of the time to wake the thing up in the morning, compared to what windows did.
