Presumably it wouldn't cease all function, but there are net-connected elements in a *lot* of software these days. It's possible, however, that such machines might demand a net connection or stop the OS from letting you log in. I know that my Chromebook has been like that, which worries me, though its other functions mostly work if the internet is out (obviously the web browser doesn't).
Too much of computing is based around the idea of tracking and controlling what people do with it.
Like seriously. What the fuck? This...just pisses us off so damn much. *sighs*
Like I know my phone is doing this, and I don't want to think about it. I can't and not use it ffor blindness related shit" It's either I do that or I go back to the days before cell I have to memorize, plan, and ask people hfor help finding shit), but the computer...is, for some reason, a different thing intirely. *sighs*
