Or hwidgen the free key they gave to all the windows 8 refugees. That’s what I do in my test VMs

Tell us more?

for a time they gave away windows 10 for free for anyone with 8. all those people who upgraded all have the same serial so there are probably millions of computers with it. this simply associates yer VM/computer with that serial and goes and activates. So its definitely not the most legal thing in the world, but its not like you are going to get caught since you are using the same serial number as millions of other folks.

Would be interesting to know what kind of work is done on these machines.

Half the people do Lisp development, half stay mostly within Chromium

great to see Lisp alive & kicking...what variant? Thoughts on Clojure?

I have been using Elementary OS for a while. It's nice to use, but the biggest issue is that there is no way to upgrade it to a newer distro version when it comes. I am stuck to elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki and only way to upgrade to the latest version is to reinstall the whole thing.

According to their article it sounds like you should be receiving updates. I'm not sure if that was different during Loki though.

> Due to the rolling nature of elementary OS updates, users of elementary OS 5 Juno get the update to 5.1 Hera alongside regular system updates from AppCenter.
