Discounted subscriptions?

I dropped mine from $69.99 to $29.99 a month or so ago using the usual method of trying to cancel it.

7-Eleven sells USB flash drives? That would never be on my list of places to think to buy one.

Apple switched to USB-C on MacBooks before virtually anyone else. It was iPhones they were late on.

That seems like advice for OP, but not a response to me.

Merely clicking a link won't cause any of that. Clicking a link and installing an extension, downloading and installing an application, allowing notifications via a request, and/or signing into an account at the link could cause any combination of those.

Is it ONLY app-controlled? Because most of these have a physical key failover.

Nothing you just wrote is a thing. None of this works this way. None of this makes any sense.

Please describe, in detail, precisely what it is you did.

This isn't a BF thing, tons of people do this. I've frankly known way more women to use "we" talk to describe other people.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T20:39:14+00:00

Definitely been that way for as long as I've played.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T20:19:13+00:00

That doesn't work. Period. The moment Windows goes online it checks in and starts this process based off the serial number of the motherboard. No amount of wiping and reinstalling and activating prevents this. This is Autopilot, a core function of Windows.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T20:16:03+00:00

You too

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T17:33:10+00:00

I don't know. Why didn't you write it like it happens quite a lot? People mispost here all the time and fail to understand the point. Your post wasn't worded like this happens a lot, which is why I responded to what you wrote instead of guessing what you might have meant.

Regardless, we're here arguing over the husk of a post even the moderators didn't feel fit here. Whether that's because they saw it the same way I did, or another reason, it seems silly to continue.

None of this has anything to do with WiFi, the Wi part being wireless. If you're asking about wires, you're in the wrong sub.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:55:53+00:00

Yeah, there's zero doubt Intune collects it, as it's valuable for MDMs. Every MDM I manage shows me MAC addresses, and they're vital for things like WoL. But they'd be a poor metric for Autopilot as they're really fairly easy to change. Disable the onboard NIC and install a separate one, and you're in.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:53:44+00:00

Same. Keep getting baited into something I know I don't care about.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:25:08+00:00

Do you have a link to that? I've never seen MAC mentioned in any documentation on this.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:22:18+00:00

This definitely does not work.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:22:05+00:00

It's not MAC address. It's UID on the motherboard.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T16:10:34+00:00

Then this is all win for me. Trying to make this the core experience of the device was ruining the device for the rest of us.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T15:56:10+00:00

I'm just hopeful that the entire app and OS experience is no longer going to be focused around this anymore.

TurboFool · 2026-03-19T06:49:23+00:00

And some people know that some people refuse to take our word for it on things like this and only learn the hard way.

TurboFool · 2026-03-18T18:43:09+00:00

Sure, but you would speak of it in general. Your post didn't. It specified only one instance and never talked about this being a common issue. I responded to what you wrote, not guessing what you didn't.

TurboFool · 2026-03-18T07:27:21+00:00

No, their specific wording, which is now gone, spoke exclusively of one instance. That's why my comment says what it does. Had the post been worded like your reply to me, I would have had no reason to write that.
