do not use other genocides to describe this one

This isn’t even new. Why are we posting things from over two years ago and treating it like some sort of revelation?
There are different solutions depending on the scale and scope.
At the minimum, you can look at just modifying the unattend.xml file to automate a USB install. This will give some simple features like configuring licensing and generally being able to skip the oobe (out of box experience) wizard.
Next level up is modifying the install.wim file on that USB install. This will afford some more customisability like taking a sysprepped captured image, like what you’re describing. You don’t need a WDS server for this, but if you’re going this deep you might as well move up to one for the automation it brings to that captured image workflow.
Next level up is setting up a WDS (Windows Deployment Services) server, which can just be a dedicated VM or a dedicated physical machine somewhere on the network. This has all the benefits of the above but with better automation and network booting (which replaces your USB with just needing a network connection) and automatic AD join.
At the top of those enterprise scale solutions is SCCM (now called MECM) or InTune, depending how you want to work things. Setting up one of these is probably way beyond your scope though.
Things get more complicated the further up you go, but come with more benefits. If you’re looking for a minimum effort solution, I’d just build a bootable USB with rufus and modify the unattend.xml, save that file somewhere so you don’t have to do it again and just copy it onto any new drive you build.
I might be forgetting something so hopefully something in the comments here helps you in your current situation. cheers
Ars and Reddit are under the same parent company, conde nast or however that’s all structured. I also have noticed ars seems to write very frequently about Reddit, even if it is usually in a critical light.
I get mixed feelings about articles like this one.
Do you realize how difficult it is to move from one country to another? It’s expensive as hell, and if you’re a US citizen you still owe taxes on money you make while living abroad.
Additionally, the cost to renounce US citizenship is the highest in the world by a large margin. $2350 + exit taxes, as of this writing. https://common.usembassy.gov/en/renounce-citizenship/
Next highest is Jamaica at $1040 as of this writing. https://congenjamaica-ny.org/renunciation-of-jamaican-citizenship/
The USA is an inescapable hellhole for the poor, so think for a few seconds before you make another shit comment like this.
Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing
Given the price difference I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to pay for that.
Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/
