I updated my bios at some point and it turned on the TPM again, be careful! When I got an update window and quite the shock, I added a group policy to block the update as a backup.

That would be great if it happens. Lets hope we get a class of helpers or butlers that do not phone home, but build on top of open models and protocols

And will it run locally away from all the tracking and ads? Thats what I thought.

What about winget? I ripped out a whole bunch of stuff (like cortana) from W10 when winget became available. Best thing MS has done for windows in years
