Id disagree. Its not my responsibility to close all their doors that are accessible to the public. Microsoft provided all the tools to use their software without their involvement. As a US citizen, I’m liable for my own negligence and/or ignorance. Corporations are pegally protected under corporate personhood so the same liabilities affect them too.
Not disagreeing but this isnt a form of pirating. They didnt break shit, they didnt hack shit and they didnt exploit shit. Microsoft built their entire DRM software in a way that was able to be recerse engineered.
Again, not contradicting anything you recommended. I just wanted to point this out for any lurkers because I cant encourage this option enough for anyone forced into putting up with Windows. You are actually uaing the same activation codes that microsoft themselves generate and distribute to their customers.
I can confirm it works for Windows 10, 11, for any iteration of 23h or 24h, all Office applications, both individually and packaged, visual studio, and I wanna say Adobe but that one im not 100% on.
If your pirating which for end users is the only way to get LTSC, just run Windows Server.
Its been over a year and as I said above im going off memory but I think I went with IoT Enterprise because of how nominal the differences were from Windows Server but also wanted to check out the IoT Enterprise because my cousin was starting his own fabrication/manufacturing company at that time and it was a good opportunity to see what his options were for future scalability that came with IoT Enterprise.
I mean, not to be a dick but, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and expires after the year like the trial activation method… it must be a free trial duck lol. /s
Aka im all out of ideas or recommendations.
Yeah but there were methods for activating it with a trial activation code that only lasted a year I think, a method for activating ut offline permanently, and also a method for activating it using an annual reactivating activation code that, again *******was set it and forget it for as long as windows 11 enterprise will be supported
Na there are a bunch of caveats and different types of Windows 10/11 Enterprise and specifically IoT Enterprise.
Go back to their wiki pages cuz you are guna have to re-do the activation process and should nake sure you are setting it up per the provided instructions. Ive had windows 11 Enterprise IoT running for over a year now and its the best exclusive to Windows/Microsoft decision I ever made.
Microsoft makes a relatively great product in its Enterprise line, stripping most of the spy/bloatware out and allowing simple user configuration settings changes to kill the rest, plus all the advertised tools/software that only comes with an Enterprise shit.
Then they strip all the useful tools out, facefuck as much bloatware as they can jizz into your PC while buttfucking even more spyware into your PC raw dog style with so much breaking of everything with every fuckin update they release and call that fucking bastard Windows 10/11 Home Edition.
Im sorry I forgot what this conversation was about buuuuutttt fuck Windows in their fucking fuckhole is the TLDR.
Edit: This is all going entirely off memory wirh a huge iirc asterisks on it. I definitely remember having to do the set up over and over again, tho, figuring out which version was the best option for my use. I got the bitch set up now with local account, zero microsoft account affiliation and dont update fuckall unless its severe severe severe security risk. Its the best and most consistent my PC has ever ran.
I killed the js to remove the pop up blocking the article but Im not sure if this is the entire article:
The AI bubble is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy — and four times the subprime bubble, analyst says
Artificially low interest rates have stimulated investment into AI that has hit scaling limits, says research firm

It’s not just a bubble but an epically sized one, an analyst argues. Photo: Getty Images
For good reason, it feels that the only major discussion in markets is whether AI is in a bubble or whether it’s actually the early innings of a revolutionary phrase.
So here’s another one, decidedly from the pessimistic camp. It’s a take from independent research firm the MacroStrategy Partnership, which advises 220 institutional clients, in a note written by analysts including Julien Garran, who previously led UBS’s commodities strategy team.
Am I missing the real article or is this the entirety of it?
Woooooosh
Im pretty sure the op you replied to is hoping for the five-oh to start taking GPT’s advice to commit suicide… meaning they want dead cops not for cops to intervene. Not the classiest comment you replied to, which is why I think it woooooshed right over your head.
Na. Used throwaway email tied to nothing. Selected the options that applied to me. Left them a cordial “fuck you and the horse you rode in on” feedback letter in the message box and submitted. No verification needed. The only chance for defense is giving them a number they can measure of people who will switch devices if they continue to pursue dev verification.
Linux users: “See what we mean?”
Windows users: “La la la! I can’t hear you! Losing my data is a standard Windows feature!”
Girls gone wild!?!? What are they making 12 year olds verify their age to jack it to infomercials at 3am?
I mean its kinda their brand: Fuck posers
Not op but here for info of similar situation I’ve thought about doing. So
- how many houses
Between 3-5
- how far are they apart (latency)
Different towns for 1-3 houses and same road for 3 houses, including mine where NAS would be. So im assuming this is some cloud sharing thing but im looking to host it and not use Google photos anymore.
- what is their internet connection like?
Everyone has high speed i think. 1gb/s I think.
- up/downstream?
Always pee downstream. Idk what this is asking. Sorry
- Static IP? Is it stable?
Yes to both but would like it to be accessible on mobile devices too.
- how are they supposed to access the data?
Just looking for info on what to learn so whatever you recommend lol
- what kind of data is it, and what is the access pattern? Meaning, is it text files? Occasional pictures? Movies?
Prolly 90% pictures & 10% video
- how much data do you need in total (yours+others)
Shit idk enough to cover 3 families with multiple crotch fruit under 3 years old so 50,000TB+ range.
Hahahaha theyre all fuckin trash. I tried watching the old shit and its all straight up garbage.
Just started watching Star Trek and so far watched Picard, Strange New Worlds and the one with the black chick as the main character and holy fuck is star trek a waaaay better story and franchise than star wars. Star wars fuckin sucks.
Are there any holes in the business plan that involves converting a dying social media platform thats already flooded with bots, troll farms and AI accounts into an entirely autonomous, isolated chamber of AI accounts, troll farm accounts and targeted ads? Zuck still fucks because of how horrible corporations are at applying KPI’s that show accurate ROIs between different advertising platforms. They have no clue if their ad blitz on Twitter was more successful than the investment in YouTube ads or if it was all a result of the current state of the economy at any point in time. It would take decades before the corporate whores finally pulled enough ads for Zuck to lose a buck. Im thinking Enron style minus the investing all employee retirements fraud.
Says the same IT group of humanity with their heads buried in code mumbling i hate people into their monitors 🤣/s its just a joke. Im describing myself🤣
Every game that ever gets released when you check gaming forums within the first month of a game’s release lol /s
Im joking. I get the sentiment that a finished product should be fully complete and inspected by a QA team before release. But still, the fuckin extreme hatred ill see for the game and its studio, regardless of the company’s history, is soooooo fuckin wild. And almost everytime when I get to the point of buying the game, ill check the steam reviews and it’ll be mostly positive after like one patch release.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
They would have over a hundred thousand players on a closed beta game? Goddamn that seems like a shit ton for a beta but I’ve also never looked at any game’s player count.
You’re picking up what im putting down lol. Didn’t mean to say I was disagreeing with what youre saying just in this case especially:
Where I’ve paid for each new pc build to just have a blank slate and not carry over my digital footprint for microsoft from one build to the next. Also, tho, im not taking what isnt already mine, im just using a work around for dealing with microsoft’s atrocious customer service.
Again, not saying this will hold up in a court of law, jist saying I dont lose any sleep over it.
Bonus rationalization: fuckin outlooks locked in and un-adjustable junk mail filters have auto filtered Microsoft own emails for upcoming annual Office invoices to my junk folder that I used to rarely check before getting slammed with over a $100 charge for Office eliminating my ability to use the email reminders as notification to cancel my subscription cuz even if you paid for a year of Office but wanna cancel a month into the year so you dont forget, microsoft says naaaaaaa you lose the remaining 11 months of paid software access.
