Dafug........................ ?? Is this all about games and nothing really of any importance ?? While at work, if solitaire or free cell can't give ya a short break, go out and vape or put another mask on to keep the
computer icky cooties away from ya.
No, this is about workarounds for local accounts on your
Windows computer going bye bye (atleast the ones that they are aware of and trying to handle piece meal at a time). MS is wanting people to have to
sign in to an MS account to access your
computer. Which makes for a wonderful bit of telemetry as well (the main problem that I have with this).
The ultimate goal is for them to have everyone on thin clients and your "
computer" is some Azure instance (as WASM gets better and the web get faster, this is actually more likely to happen). Part of the problem that we have is this hyper connectivity online (be it everything we do is via online or we have SaaS software that only works with an internet connection, who knows what connections that we aren't aware of that are being made, perfect vectors for viruses etc) and that is also lead to all of these malware/ransomware attacks, we are too connected. Imagine if one has to login to account, heave forbid into an Azure instance, but internet is down for whatever reason. Dead in the water, even if everything else is just fine.
No, my concern here isn't about games (although I do enjoy gaming and even have created a few 2D ones myself, I really think the mention in the article was about Game Pass and those that have it already have to
sign in, nothing else, unless I missed it, although I don't have solitaire installed, so no, it won't provide much of a break, I use Arch (by the way), very little comes pre-installed).
