How is one supposed to have a local admin account if it's fucking online. Makes no sense

That's exactly what it is and it's infuriating. I planned this rig, I bought the parts, I built it, get your god damned hands off of it, Microsoft. When I can muster up the energy you'll be forever doomed to a life in a KVM in Linux, you assholes.
