Hey! You watch your mouth! We’ve developed lots of things including how to efficiently go bankrupt from a medical emergency!

Having freedom means the freedom to not afford living, too.

Yeah but the old ssd won’t click

My local grocery is at least nice enough to put paper between each slice to help pull them apart. Individually wrapped in plastic from the deli seems so strange.

Speaking of vaping the competition

Hey I completely agree with your comment, but I wanted to give you a heads up the saying is “can’t fathom the idea”

Yeah, I was agreeing and relating it to the good ol days when pirating for a one asp experience wasn’t needed unless you really wanted to.

Now we’re back to that’s the only way to easily get it all in one place is pirating. Apple TV seems to sort of have that ability but it’s not seamless because it takes you to whatever app the video is on, which still means you have to pay for all the streams.

I miss the early days of Netflix when that held true too. If I remember right piracy was down too. But everyone wanted a piece of the stupid pie and we’re back to where we started all over again

Which is crazy considering the Bacardi family had to escape from Cuba because of Castro’s takeover. So you’d think if any company would be against a hostile takeover, it would be them.

It’s nice of you to keep his memory alive that way

But why spend the money on the tiny pizza table?

A soup can, I think.

I think so if you set up your account with your ms account. I did the same thing and it was able to activate no problem automatically if I reinstalled. You should be able to log into your office 365 account and you should be able to see your licenses in there, I just don’t remember where lol

Lol yeah for a second I went, “oh no, not again!” Then I remembered where I am and saw this was posted 3 years ago.

The industry actually tried to get people to stop calling them laptops because people kept burning themselves badly in the early days of portable computers when they would get hot af

First, the key being tied to the motherboard is more specifically when you purchase a prebuilt machine and not an off the shelf license.

Second, Microsoft is pushing heavily at tying the keys to a Microsoft account. That way they can more easily track number of activations. To recover a key on a new computer you just sign into your Microsoft account and it’ll activate it. It’s far easier than a key and easier to keep track of vs a key as well.

You might be able to buy a license at a large retailer, but I’m pretty sure you’ll find it hard to buy a key printed on a piece of paper now.
