• Ah, I get how that would be irritating. The Linux version scrolls that way as well.

• Genuine curiosity: what’s broken about it? I’ve not noticed issues scolling in Calc on Windows…

• Yeah, Ventoy will import its key for you too. If what you’re using doesn’t come with that utility, you’ll be manually entering in public keys. 😭

• It is open, oddly enough. It’s just that nobody ships anything other than Microsoft’s keys. You can add your own. It’s just that it is a tedious, manual process.

• I would disagree. The idea is great; eliminate preboot malware by trusting the whole boot stack. It has a place in computing and I would like to see it be something easier to work with.

  Pretty much everything about how it’s currently implemented is a mistake, I’ll agree with.

• The fingerprinting they’re doing now is meant to help with this. If they see a fingerprint, it was probably not human generated so don’t ingest it.

• Yeah, it doesn’t have a lot of teeth. You can use it to get testimony thrown out though.

• There is, kinda. It’s called the “Brady List” and kinda almost can do the same thing.

• Its in the terms of use. If you don’t want it, you can contact the hardware vendor for a refund. Really, it’s there if you read it. This has been a thing since the 90s. Google is your friend. (For this, anyway. Google is not a friend in general.)

• Go for it. Does your sales contract allow for that? The difference is that the Windows license itself allows this and outlines most of what you need to do.

• It isn’t farfetched to ask for a refund for something forcibly included that you don’t want but is optional and contributing to the cost. Usually it’s up front, sure. But with computers it’s almost always needed to be done after the fact.

• It isn’t that far fetched, even today it’s still uncommon to find anything consumer computing that doesn’t have windows preloaded. Your exceptions are apple devices, mobile devices, and toy computing like the raspberry pi. System 76 exists, and Dell does sell some models without windows, but aside from building one yourself those two sources are like 50% of your choices.
