It’s more a Google account thing afaik. You get the same prompt in Firefox if you use Gmail

I agree it’s absolutely stupid, nothing I said was in support of it, I was just pointing out it wasn’t difficult to get around

"If you’re connected to your network using an Ethernet cable or WiFi, the first step is to unplug the cable or disconnect your computer from WiFi. For WiFi connections, you can skip the process at the beginning of the setup wizard by clicking the back icon on the Windows 10 Setup toolbar, and then try and create a Microsoft account.

Alternatively, press Airplane Mode key on the laptop to disconnect WiFi or unplug the router for a minute, if all else fails. When you see the “Something went wrong” error message, click Skip to skip the account creation step. "

Basically, let it error when trying to set up an account, press back and you’ll find it. Stupid but it’s not difficult

It’s just such a common misconception that there was no ads in the ‘old Internet’, that’s all I was pointing out. There seems to be a nostalgic false memory that Internet back then didn’t have ads which is hilarious if you were there to see what it was like

What are you talking about, ads were far worse back in the 90s /2000. Were you even using the Internet back then? Couldn’t block them and things like infinite pop ups were rampant, if you didn’t have a firewall setup and anti virus, your entire Windows 98 setup could be wrecked in minutes just being online

This is amazing advice. I’ll look in to this, thank you.

And for that, everyone should check out this site - caniplaythat.com - I’m also blind and this site comes in very handy to know which titles have options wise for accessibility needs.

Tried tried and tried… Some things there are no going back from and injuries of this type can be one of them. Of the hand full of specialists I’ve seen about it, all of them said the same.

And it sucks. Already got RSI and sadly isn’t anything that helps beyond resting…

Have done, best they could do was tell me to stop doing the things that trigger it… Great!

I’m not even 40 and my elbows are totally ruined from using a mouse and keyboard, game controller and phone too much… My gaming days are nearly over and it SUCKS
