This is crazy
Here's my product key
So activate me maybe
That product key is forever in the public domain now.
He might rape children but at least he doesn’t pirate software.
I'm happy to say I have nothing in common with him
Corporate America in a nutshell
but if your a multi trillion dollar company you can pirate whatever you want for your ai unless your a common joe which in case your getting sued for 10 million dollars
I pirate software, but at least I don't rape children.
Gotta draw a line somewhere.
Would you download a 13 year old?
I'm not a monster!
Downloading is illegal. I have morals.
Thank you hackers with thigh-highs
Another Gates connection 🤔
Would that be Gates-Gate?
Thanks, I guess?
you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd). you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn't cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu. i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too. obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)
Does https://massgrave.dev/ not work anymore?
Pretty sure I just used that when windows 10 was held hostage by microslop
You can, I'm barely able to read
Ah yes key management server server
haha yes sorry! my wireless wlan had some issues with my personal pc when i was etablishing a secure ssh connection. could also be an error with my dns system or with the http protocol.
so this is what an aneurism feels like

out of all the censored things, they didn't think to censor a product key before declassifying it. I wish I could say I was surprised.
This seems to suggest that the redactions weren't done by legal professionals.
Understatement of the year so far.

He used the Home version?
He owned his own island, he could at least go for Professional!
I remember Windows 7's editions being a complete mess, but a come on!
Either ask your IT guy or your friend Billy G, both will laugh at you for picking a Home version when you have the money to go pro.
What a fucking loser.
The number of other people laughing at actually paying for Windows is not zero.
Aside, did you type "looser" ironically? 😅😶
Eh, back in the Windows 7 days paying for Windows wasn't that bad of a deal, but starting with Windows 10 it felt as if you were paying to get ads.
As for your last part, I am not a native english speaker, and my phone has two dictionaries, sometimes it picks the Swedish dictionary, sometimes it picks the English.
I have been in situations where the dictionary marks a word as being wrong and offers a suggestion, when I then pick the suggestion, that word is also marked as being wrong, and the original word is offered as a solution.
This can be rather annoying, and means that sometimes stuff like this slips through.
Windows 7 Ultimate!
Funny enough I got 7 ultimate for free by having a Microsoft themed Tupperware party and using their party invite platform. They sent me a box with free copy and ms colored streamers and windows 7 napkins. I still have the napkins new and sealed. Had to take like 4 pictures with my friends around a laptop I think. Not a bad trade for the best version of 7. I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s. 7 was one of the good ones
I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s
Just sayin, if you host a Linux install party you can get a copy of most Linux distributions for free. You can also get it for free if you don't host a Linux install party, but that's minor details.
Everyday is a Linux party here! Been running gentoo for like 20 years on my server box, which has now grown a couple more boxes in swarm config and my wife’s machine is now mint.
Yeah, but no sexy tux napkins
