I'd go sometimes, strong preference for the youth events and not the weekly stuff, because I'd have a friend or two who regular'd at whatever various churches, and honestly, it wasn't so bad as a hangout, aside from the mostly light and not-too-aggressive begvitations to the weeklies. There were a lot of times my mom didn't want to pay and drive me to the skating rink, and I wasn't old enough to go to bars, and didn't know the rest of the city that well, as my parents and I were relatively recent residents. A small number of guys had to be fought off, but it was still a safe environment.

The politics there was mostly anti-abortion and nothing else too divisive. I can't imagine what those places are like now, we everybody ramming "let's go brandon" and "DAE hate poor people???" into literally every convo

I know Google has a way to "force" you to only use their app, and that's strictly enforced for personal MFAs (I haven't verified that recently), I didn't have that kind of trouble not using the MS one, but I'm not sure my org was as strict as yours on that "force MS" option.

who gets mad?

crazy that NASA was telling the truth about this whole planet being a desert

this what MS says:

BitLocker encryption is available on supported devices running Windows 10 or 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education.

On supported devices running Windows 10 or newer BitLocker will automatically be turned on the first time you sign into a personal Microsoft account (such as @outlook.com or @hotmail.com) or your work or school account.

BitLocker is not automatically turned on with local accounts, however you can manually turn it on in the Manage BitLocker tool.

power users hate making non-local accounts, but also IDK how many regular users have "supported" devices.

Data centers are 99.9% encrypted hard drives, a scavenger has a good chances of finding working ones, but no chance of decrypting a single one, and extraordinarily tiny chance of restoring one of the internet's current backbones, S3. The chances of finding an unencrypted hard drive strongly correlates with finding a relatively small (non-notable) company or hobbyist user's activity. Most small datacenter tenants are sharing multiple encrypted hard drives with other smaller tenants.

When an internet ending event happens, data centered could be physically destroyed, or there could be economic reasons that clients drop services, their data will probably get overwritten with a few waves of desperate clearance priced offers by the data centers, then data center employees will one day stop showing up to work. Each data center could have a different story. CEO went AWOL? Employees just stop showing up (layoffs? died? stayed home to conserve gas? stayed home to protect family from bandits?). Security contractors abandoned the data center and other clients to take up a contract with government's last attempt to keep things under control? Decided to become a billionaire's armed militia?

As for personal computers, windows 10 encrypts user drives by default. Unless you're lucky and guess a bad password, only pre-2015 windows computers will be widely unencrypted. You might not be able to figure out how to login to that computer, but you'll be able to see some files with a linux liveCD/liveUSB.

I have no idea what percent of hobbyist linux desktop/laptop installs will be unencrypted.

And that the correct thing to do was for the beautician to wash people's asses.

wym? I got a drawer full of robots, the hitachi, clit sucker, tulip pro, bullets, rumba, njoy, cruise 2, etc..
