Oh no! What ever should I do? Heaven forbid I use a different browser!

Is downloading a different browser one of the blocked settings?

There is provably something in settings that is required in the EU.

I despise what Microsoft has become just as much as the next guy, but that's arguably a better experience than some previous versions of Windows. In some previous versions of Windows, you had to activate it within a couple weeks or you couldn't use it at all.

Oh the fun of recovering windows xp to new hardware!

"Sorry you have had the install for too long so it must be activated."

Ok but I need to install new drivers for the network card, can I do that so I can activate.

"No fix, only activate."

Was fine until they turned both internet and phone activation off.

Oh no! I can't use microsoft edge! what am I going to do?!

I might have to just block its internet access with simple wall as soon as I install brave

surely giving edge more functionality to mac and linux users isn't a good idea right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Don't use edge then
