While Microsoft is bloacking the popular BYPASSNRO method of bypassing the internet and MSA requirements, a new way to do so had already existed but flew under the radar.
This might be relevant to those who wish / have to use Windows 11:

Well, if a company has 500 machines and all of them having microsoft online accounts raises no security questions, I ain't working there, simple as that

It takes me 10 seconds to remove internet access from yet another windows process, it takes weeks if not months to re-download the 2 point something TB of games I have installed.
People who have a real internet connection need another excuse but my internet isnt good for 2005, let alone 2025.
