didn't know this before, and didn't have to because i haven't installed windows in the past 10 years. but for those who need to do this, this workaround should be known:

Thankfully, there remains another way to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. When you’re at the log-in screen, you can hit Shift + F10 and type OOBE/BYPASSNRO, which will let you create a local account instead if you do not have an internet connection (so disconnect the internet for this).

a@a.com is redundant but Shift + F10 OOBE/BYPASSNRO comes to the rescue.

The very short story of neschat's lispy query language so far: github.com/makoConstruct/munk

It's taking a little longer than I thought it would, so I'm going to try making the prototype without it. If that sucks then I can always pick it up again.

#hardware #computer my aging respectable desktop Is hanging during firmware init. It doesn’t respond to the keyboard and it’s not possible to boot to alternate media.. I really don’t want to buy a new pc this year, does anybody have suggestions on what h/w or S/w issues might cause this?

Numlock on keyboard toggles light but that’s about it.

Memtest86 has come up clean in the recent past. Disks are fine. Video card is ok too I swapped all these for spare components.
