We've been in Mexico City for almost seven weeks, our longest trip yet. I came here with two big items on my to-do list, both book-related: Get the Windows 11 Field Guide updated for Windows 11 version 24H2 and publish at least a preview of the new book I'm writing with my wife, Eternal Spring: Our Guide to Mexico City. And I can't say I've been successful with either, despite literally working on both projects every single day.

You've at least seen the progress I've made on the Field Guide: To date, I've published 28 chapter updates to the book since we got here, which I will admit is rather incredible. But here's what you probably don't know. Every one of those chapters includes new content, and while the amount of new content isn't always profound, some of those updates are quite good from a new material perspective.

Here's one example. I'm particularly happy with the work I've done with local accounts over the past few weeks. This involved resetting several of the PCs I have here, starting over from scratch with local account-only configurations to determine whether doing this will alleviate some of the enshittification in Windows 11, most notably the forced OneDrive Folder backup behavior. Most recently--two days ago, I guess, I reset my Surface Laptop 7, too, and am now using it this way. And ... so far, so good.

But even if this work doesn't "solve" the OneDrive Folder backup problem--and it kind of doesn't, since you could easily screw it up in any number of ways, for example by running a backup with Windows Backup--this was a good experience for me. It helped me dramatically expand the Local accounts and Device encryption chapters in the book, and I now fully understand what it means when Microsoft says that it "enables" device encryption by default in 24H2: This is both a dramatic change from before and no change at all, depending on how you configure the PC. (I'm working on an update to the Windows backup chapter now as a result.)

These book updates remind me of the security rabbit hole I went down at the end of 23H2: Microsoft had added passkey "management" support in Windows 11 version 23H2 and in trying to figure out what that meant, I learned a lot. One, the passkey management capabilities in Windows 11 are a joke. Two, passkey support in the Microsoft account is even more of a joke (is, in fact, half-assed). Three, that both of these things are getting better, though both have a long way to go. Four, that Microsoft had long ago based its support for online account sign-ins and Windows Hello on the FIDO-based foundations of passkeys, and now that passkeys are "real," it is making Windows 11 fully compliant with that as passkeys get portable. And there's more, but whatever. All I wanted to do was write a short new chapter for the book and I ended up learning more than I ever wanted to about online account security. It was worth it.

And that's what this October/November was like. A lot of work. Some output that ...
