I was recently amazed to find out that Windows 95 is still used in an industrial automation setting. The company uses the NetBEUI[0] protocol and Windows 95 is apparently the only version to support it. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS_Frames_protocol
Your link says otherwise. XP can do it too. Might just be a software thing

#62If blind runs became more popular then maybe I could hone that skill.

#63OT: can someone explain this anime/waifu thing to me, in particular why does someone record a video like this one with careful window placement so that we can see the anime? I feel like I'm missing something.
BTW, she's not my `waifu`, I just like her as a character.

#64Anecdote: back in the early 2000s, I regularly installed Windows XP on the machines of school friends and family members and got pretty fast at it. After a few months, I realized that I had memorized the original Windows XP "default" CD key (the one starting with FCKGW...) by accident. I haven't done an installation of XP in 15 years, yet you could wake me up in the middle of the night and I could tell you this damn…
This was me, but with the OG Starcraft: Brood War CD Key. I think I still remember the key, but I'm not sure and I don't have the CD to verify.

FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-2B7Q8-8TG6W. I am not sure if its correct. edit: yes it is. Checked the link in other thread.
The last two quintuples are switched, otherwise it is correct. The "RKT-8TG6W" is my favorite part, because it makes for a nice rhyme (at least in German, where "W" is a single syllable"): RKT 8T G6W :)

I just want to know what window manager that it.

Hah, I had no idea that others have this problem too. There must be something to this sequence that makes it very easy to memorize.
Spaced repetition makes any sequence easy to remember. Which is essentially what being the local “could you install xp”-guy was for this specific key.

You can use classic starcraft / brood war keys as vouchers on battle.net if you want to verify and make sure you'll always have a digital copy available :)

I still know my Starcraft CD key to this day as well. Bonus: The same key also works for Half-Life. They used the same algorithm.
