We used to have ISDN back in the day. Connecting in seconds, and with channel bonding, you could surf the net at a blazing fast 128 kbit/s

tried out a clean install of windows 10 version 1909 on a junk laptop i have laying around, to see what looks/behaves different i always install windows without a internet connection so the installer cant nag you nearly as much about creating a microsoft account now after the install when youre at the desktop, connecting to a network makes that setup screen reappear

i have a microsoft account for my personal email address, it's not signed in on my workstation except in outlook. naturally, multiple times a week outlook forgets the password and asks me to sign in again, then tries to default to binding the account to windows
