The average user was incompetent WAY before Microsoft ever entered the scene.

Knowing anything about computers is a lot more niche than you think.

If you use your Microsoft account to login, they have to be able to identify you somehow when you try to authenticate. It is basic usage. Not Telemetry. That is what caught him.

I wouldn’t call overhauling your entire operating system, including finding alternatives to software you use daily, making sure your hardware is compatible and relearning your entire work method as an “easy trick”.

Then whats the point of them? Just a camera?
