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.

Imagine if it did and the only reason it was censored was because they did a search and find > TRUMP > Make selected text background black.

I've only seen videos of it, but apparently you can copy paste the redacted parts of the pdfs. They legit left all of the text data on a different layer.

Exactly. I dabble in competitive assessment and the amount of times weve got competitors data because they didnt flatten a file is astounding. The one we try every time with moderate success is checking every picture to see if you can "uncrop" it. So many times the rest of the picture is actually in the file and the crop is just for display purposes. Most of the time the rest of the photo is useless, but ill never forget the time we got the whole process map for their upcoming production schedule

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 ;)

KMS is microsoft's method of product activation mostly for organizations, they can run an activation server inside an intranet for instance. Also widely used for pirating windows since it's easy to run one of those kms emulators

https://massgrave.dev/ is a fairly recent development, they have a tool called MAS that can activate windows/office/etc using many methods including KMS

mech 27 points 7 months ago

That's the part that mystifies me. On the one hand, in an enterprise setting, it can be frustratingly difficult to license and activate your MS products, to the point where you cry out "Why do you make it so hard to give you our money?"
And on the other hand, you can easily bypass the whole thing and get all their stuff for free.
And it's been that way for decades, so it doesn't seem to be a mistake on their part.

In an enterprise setting you'd use something like Active Directory-Based Activation.

You store your KMS key in Active Directory, then any machine that contacts the domain controller will be activated.

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

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.

In 2019, Gates characterized his relationship with Epstein as a ‘huge mistake’.

Probably because it was the final straw for his wife Melinda, and Gates wasn't happy how much she would take in the divorce. Considering he was a serial philanderer and often used his position at Microsoft as a way to meet women (including Melinda!), it's not like he respected that marriage or his wife very much, so it can't be that he's sad about losing her or something, so my bet is on sad he was going to lose a lot of wealth over his Epstein connections.

Would you download a 13 year old?

I'm not a monster!

Downloading is illegal. I have morals.

People can always make more children, but shareholder value? That comes once in a lifetime.

I saw someone mention that if you find an old installer for windows 10, you can upgrade to that and continue on to upgrade to w11 still and keep the activation.

ymmv

Even worse. You'd get from Windows 7 to Windows 11.

7 is quickly going down as the best version of windows of all time. 10 was alright too but it was the beginning of the end

I'm hoping we'll get past 5% on the steam hardware survey this year. Very possible given the trend.

Too many of my younger friends are obsessed with bf6 or a handful of other live service stuff that will not come to linux any time soon, or refuse to because they think they'll run an ai model or don't want to figure it out for their dev projects.

I moved over a few months ago and don't miss it.

Or you could update to a modern Linux build, most of which are just as easy as windows and 90+%of apps can run through wine so you don’t miss out on anything

Yea I use Arch BTW bitch! (Just kidding about the bitch part, it sounded funny in my head, I’m sure you are a wonderful human being and I hope you have a marvelous day)

I looked through your stats and saw your disk storage and had a dyslexic moment and thought the 250gb was your ram.

I was about to hate you for that :D. Like at today’s prices that would be some Billionaire level crap hehe

Oh hell no lol. I splurged on 64gb of ram a year ago because it was about $200. It's overkill, but I do run VMs and game servers from time to time for friends and 32gb is kind of the base for ddr5 anyway. I swapped the work system standard for users over to 32gb around a year ago, and I try to keep my personal at home stuff to about double that since I use the stuff for a long long time.

The / partition is a bit too big, but this was my first time splitting out home after a migration from pop_os. Learned a lot from that. Also have a bit of unpartitioned space.

I have to swap bootloaders from systemd to limine or something since I have heard a lot of people mention at this point that it's better btrfs recovery. Haven't had the motivation yet.

So wait, if you activate a machine with this key wouldn’t that alert a bunch people?

Windows 7 came out in 2007, if I remember correctly. That was a time when it wasn't that uncommon to have a computer without an internet connection. Telemetry also wasn't really a thing, either - when you had crashes or usage data the OS thought might be useful to Microsoft, the OS actually asked you, and understood that no means no. Honestly, those were better times in that regard...

The key was published in the files. It's not suspicious to use the key given that it's public info; it's not illegal to read the released files.
