to be fair leaving your pc on for no reason certainly won't help

For no reason, sure. But Windows doesn't care if you're doing something or not. It'll update and restart your computer on its own in the middle of the night and you can't turn it off. Spending the night downloading something? Too bad! Overnight rendering? Too bad! It even restarts your computer when it's in sleep mode ffs.

My mom gave me a laptop that she used for work when she retired recently. An Asus with 11 installed on it. Worst piece of anti-consumer shit I have ever seen. I swear Asus and Microsoft worked together to make it more difficult to install Linux on it.

You had to go into the BIOS to get it to boot from a USB, and going into the BIOS was harder than it used to be. I actually tried to make use of Microsoft Co-Pilot while trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to work, and the bot told me "sorry I can't talk about that" when I asked it how to install Linux.

Also the fucking battery CAN NOT BE REPLACED. This piece of shit was designed to become e-waste so you'd have to buy another one. How long can they keep getting away with this shit?

>cant replace the battery
I didn't know this anti-consumer practice already made its way to laptops. I heard that phone companies had started gluing their fragile flexible battery packs on top of pairing them individually to the phone's OS so replacing them wouldn't work.

>How long can they keep getting away with this shit?
Forever! The one and only solution is to force manufacturers to make stuff that can be repaired and maintained, but that means that CONSUMERS wouldn't CONSUME as much, thus making the government LOSE billions of dollars. BILLIONS. Literally stealing BILLIONS away from the government. Criminal scum.

i also bought a laptop which came with w11 installed, i figured i'd give it a try for once
upon installation windows was forcing me to make a microsoft account (not connecting to the internet didn't solve it) so i had to terminate the process from task manager, that was bad enough but then i tried installing firefox and the piece of shit wouldn't let me unless i signed in with a microsoft account and disabled "s mode"

/lol/ - Internet
