Profligate ?
Don't entirely get the clue but, this is what I have
Definition extravagant
Teacher = Prof
Element = li (list item element or battery)
Opening = gate
I read it as both element and, element opening

My thinking was Li as in "battery element". The old cruciverbalist's distracting comma didn't work, obviously.
YAUT!

I always ignore punctuation - I think you and I have been doing cryptic crosswords a long time ( ~ 55 years for me )

Good job, Sherlock. I even know his grandmother's name: ELIZA. Ran it just a few days ago on a TRS 80.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nope. Really just a few days ago. But of course I feel dirty now. A Z80 processor the ENEMY*, just as awful as anything Intel ever produced.

i obtained a new computer today . a Windows laptop . start up required some sort of "Account" registration procedure which requested an e-mail address . so i provided same . it then requested a password for said e-mail address. so i provided the password to the e-mail address account . it refused to accept it . i was afraid the laptop would become a door stop . only several hours later did it occur to me the "Account" to which it referred was my Microsoft Account not the e-mail account . that password worked Bingo Presto . what a relief . what a sigh of consternation the UI designers at Dell or Microsoft or whoever wrote the registration UI did not think to present instructions my grand-mother would understand . "Please enter password to Microsoft Account associated w/ e-mail address ..." instead of "Please enter password of e-mail address ..." amazing . this is 2023 last i checked . UI should be well understood by now . it just now occurred to me not even Microsoft would request password to an e-mail account . boy am i stupid . the laptop confused me . i felt out of place w/ it as i only feel comfortable w/ a desktop . i do not believe i would make such a mistake otherwise .

What is fascinating, that you didn't even stopped to think - why on earth I need to provide ANY personal information to install an OS!?!?

as stated i only feel as myself w/ desktops . i am easily intimidated otherwise . we all know how insistent software is . it can not be reasoned with . it insisted on account information . i stupidly obliged . also i was confused as result of recent gmail access permission granted to Microsoft OS .

People do exactly that with their Android phones (probably iPhones too, I just never set one up from scratch). Maybe they don't get to install their own OS, but strictly speaking, you could argue it's the last step of the OS setup -- the first thing you're asked for when getting a new phone is your credentials, which Android then uses to resync whatever your previous phone had uploaded. People aren't getting up in arms about that, and in fact have grown to expect it. Yet Windows does it? That's just unacceptable.
I'm not defending them; just saying they follow the trend established elsewhere. Personally, when installing Windows these days, I make sure I don't provide the device with any sort of connectivity, so I get to create a local account (or preferably, use my home domain credentials when it's for myself). Of course they make it hard for users to realize that's an option.

I didn't set up a phone in a while, but did removed from existing phone the attached account without any problem. Try that with a w11... And of course the ugliest part, that they let believe avarage user, that without online account the OS will not function properly...
It is very similar to the hardware demands of w11, that are a kind of big-brother attitude...

On the 'plus' side - after you try to boot a linux live disk and return to windoze, the bitlocker crud locks the drive and you can't get back in till you've logged into your ms account and copied down the key which you then feed to the machine to keep going.
This effin thing doesn't even have bitlocker me thought - it's a lowly home edition. Well, problem fixed. Account changed to a local one without a password, bitlocker removed.
C'mon microShit. Just make an os that's as good as 7 was.
