Google should have to clearly communicate to users what they did. Only few will even read and know about this. Rarely anybody will care.

Misbehavior on such a scale should at least be communicated so users can make an informed decision on their continued trust.

Opting out may be the safe way. But I have to wonder if that clause would be binding. ToS can't overrule law.

You can't continue the setup process without connecting to a wifi network. There is no alternative in the UI.

Banelings are created from zerglings following a brief chrysalis phase. In the new form, the zergling's claws shrivel and become withered, and a swollen sac filled with volatile chemicals grows out of its back. The zergling's skin is repurposed, stretching over newly formed growths while its bone plates soften to hold bulbous, pulsating acid sacs in place. Though the remains of the carapace offer no real protection, they allow for unhindered delivery of the baneling's payload. The digestive and reproductory tracts are assimilated as nutrients to accelerate the process, and make room for the fleshy, mutated adrenal glands. These are re-purposed to produce and store large quantities of highly corrosive acid. Few materials can withstand this acid burst.

When a baneling gets close enough to an enemy, it triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload, causing the creature to explode with a shower of searing acid. The explosion destroys the baneling but also inflicts terrible damage to its enemies, highly effective against both structures and ground forces.

I think we saw how that goes in a Rick and Morty episode - Lawnmower Dog.

a worked - apparently doesn't even need to be a valid/web email address

Before using any potentially valid domain name I try to use example.com, which is guaranteed to not be in use or claimable.

This laptop has no way to disable wifi. I at least did not find anything - no such function key. And the Windows setup required you to connect to a wiki, with no way to proceed otherwise. Like, wtf?

I can't say anything about it's quality, but Wikibooks has German.

Looks like it may be worthwhile as a or an additional starting resource, but maybe not more.

Maybe add a Solopilot key too so I can use a local Windows account, and not have to uninstall adware or disable online-search when I search my PC.

That looks like cake
