    What’s their excuse this time, a local account is “less secure” than a Microsoft account?

    Yeah, jokes on them. My win10 license lives happily and immutably as a virtual install that I start up every now and then when I need to configure my guitar pedal. Everything else works flawlessly with the penguin, and has so for years now. I sometimes miss having to tinker with my system but it hasn’t been necessary for a long time now…

    I will be looking forward to the application that turns off that setting with great interest.
