I'm actually gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume this is actually a grown idiot lol
I still stand by full disk encryption accomplishing almost nothing for the average user but separating them from their own files
If you don't have data on your PC that someone might be willing to kill you for, you probably don't need it, and Microsoft enabling it by default for Win11 installs is crazy
I'm inclined to somewhat agree. As someone who enjoyed snooping around a mostly unencrypted and insecure internet 25 years ago, I can wholeheartedly tell you that most people's files are pretty boring.
