    This is a thing that annoys me and it’s not just Microsoft doing this: there’s never a “No” button, it’s always “Not now” or “Maybe later”. As if i’m going to reconsider. As if it’s an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.

      If anything, I’m even further disincentivised to log in if they’re threatening to remotely copy my hard drive. That just sounds like a scam.

      Pro Tip: You can create a local only account on a New PC as long as you skip connecting to wifi during setup.

        With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn’t work anymore.
        But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus’ options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.

      I guess “no” implies “this is your only chance to permanently decide”.
      “Remind me later” is obviously going to be an annoying reminder.
      “Maybe later” or “Not now” indicates it can be changed later, but might also come with annoying reminders.

      It’s like an annoying kiosk salesman at the mall but he’ll show up in your livingroom when you least expect it.

      This is what life is like for women. So many men are taught to not take “no” for an answer, and just keep pressuring her, waiting for her to wear down and give in.
