    Ran into this shit yesterday trying to set up a laptop for someone where I had no internet access.

    Imagine having everything ready to go on a USB drive and you can’t get past the second screen unless you find WiFi.

    At least this command still works, but damn.

      If you use Rufus you can create the USB that automatically bypasses the Internet requirements. Still annoying af though.

      Video games have gone this way too. Pop in disc or cartridge, go to play, forced to download updates that fix what was shipped in a broken state.
