cinci zoo sniper posted:they’ve been giving it away for free for at least five years following win10 release, including poo poo like upgrading pirated cd keys into legitimate licences for the sake of pure “500 million devices run windows” wankery. its relatively surprising to hear of someone using a windows pc (which i assume you don’t, to be clear) and having licensing woes these years my favourite form of windows distribution is cjs selling OEM keys on ebay for a fraction of the price

it doesnt matter. the sum total of things you care about with a Deactivated Windows 10 is that it overlays a tiny `please register windows` thing on the bottom right of the desktop (still overlaid by any actual windows, it's just on the Desktop) and you can't pick a custom wallpaper, except you can right-click and "Set As Wallpaper" on any image and do it.

it's $419 for a basic round trip to Reykjavik from Denver now that Icelandic Air serves DIA. It's going to be my first international trip whenever delta dies down, and i'm so loving stoked to see volcanoes and go lick the front stoop of one of bjork's childhood homes

also there's a dude in sa-mart who sells windows 10 keys for like fifteen bucks or something. most of the machines I've put together for people (including my own) are running those keys and I've never heard anyone go "what happen my windows needs activating"

The_Franz posted:don't those eventually get deactivated? nah. i don't think they are even oem keys, it is a money laundering venue using retail keys. they buy the keys in the cheapest possible region (accounting for 50% of the rebate) using various shady money accounting for the rest of the rebate. microsoft doesn't really try to police it, as it is not that easy to claim any given purchase illegitimate.

US prices are pretty good for flying IMO - Iceland is on my bucket list for sure our next trip will be Japan - we were supposed to go in september 2020 but the plague ofc - we got most of our ticket price refunded thankfully. we waited till last minute to cancel with a small degree of hope - cancelled in august and bought back in like january. i got all these books and poo poo and dove hard into youtube on stuff.

man im still using the windows 10 license that i got from getting a windows 7 license ages ago. to be honest it seems like ms wants windows to be free for home users, but doesn't want to make it _too_ easy for dumbass companies to pirate it it's like $10 though, which is way less annoying than when OSes were a cool $100 at least

rotor posted:theres no "woes" i just have this "please activate windows" thing on my videogames. I know I could fix it but between this post and the last one I've already spent more time talking about it than I have being annoyed by it. Buy a key for 10 dollars from the guy in SA Mart who sells them. I have used him for all my computers and the ones I've built for friends and family and have had no problems. You will get the key within 5 minutes of sending him the money on PayPal

Time for one of the best Bowie storiesquote:Bowie... So we're on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer. The camera was on a very long lens. (Camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame) In this video i'm dressed from head to toe in a clown suit. Why not.I hear playback and the music starts. So off I go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera.
