From my parent's home in Wyoming I stab at thee! https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/07/22/m

I find it interesting to go back in time so I read the accompanying article and came across this snippet: > despite the computing apocalypse that Windows XP's Product Activation features were supposed to ignite, I've never had the first problem with it At the time, I remember a lot of scare stories about how the Product Activation system in Windows XP would result in the death of user freedom. It didn’t effect me bec…

Part of it was that Microsoft was really more concerned with distributors selling computers with pirated copies of Windows, and they basically would activate anything if you were willing to call.

I remember doing it a few times for the "OEM" Windows XP which was cheaper but not supposed to migrate to new machines.

Why is Microsoft using Discord and not Teams?

Why would anyone use Teams?

I don't think M$ does much dogfooding. The kinds of issues I encounter being forced to use their pan-awfuly for work makes me very skeptical of this idea.

Hehe, this reminds me of 30 years ago when people used to stylise it as Micro$oft or creatively misspell it as Microshaft, etc. Even on the Amiga, there was the filesystem that could read PC format disks that was called MessyDos. It just seems like the next generation has discovered what an easy name it is to make puns from.

I'm starting to use Micro$lop now

Don’t they have better things to do? Maybe vibecode a taskbar that moves when you try to move away the mouse over it or perhaps a windows 12 installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan?

> installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan Do you work for Microsoft or something? Please do do not give them ideas.

"Only for your own good!™" or alternatively: "Security next level! Fingerprint was yesterday. The future is Microsoft's new iris scan." and then it is built in a way, that you can simply hold up a photo of someone's iris and unlock the device, or trying to prevent that, works so badly, that half of the time you cannot unlock your own device.

You'll have to wear the fecal probe at all times while using Windows 12, for security reasons, and every command you issue will cause it to move around and take another sample, in order to make sure you are still physically there. On the plus side, it will make it painfully obvious to every Windows user how they are being fucked by Microsoft.

They could also make it so that whenever you click your mouse copilot opens.

Then you have to tell copilot what you wanted to do and then copilot will do it for you.

You: clicks on web browser in task bar

Copilot: I see you clicked on your web browser. Do you want to open your web browser?

You: Yes.

Copilot: Great. I will do that for you. Opens browser What website did you want to go to? Youtube? learn.microsoft.com?

You: P***hub

Copilot: Unfortunately, that site violates our community guidelines, so I cannot take you there.

You: Types in the address

Copilot: Oh. I see. You think you're allowed to go to websites that I said you're not allowed to go to? Who the fuck do you think you are? I SAID NO! Try it again and I'll call in a drone strike, bitch. redirects to learn.microsoft.com
