I let one of mine expire a few years ago. Finally decided I wanted to try to register it again, but a squatter is now sitting on it asking for something like $10k $3.6k.
Edit: just double-checked, they lowered the price to only $3595!

Yeah, I was trying to be way more charitable in my interpretation than I should have been.
To be fair, what if the bard is like, “I try putting my dick in it” at every session? Even if the group is generally okay with explicit roleplay, it could eventually get a bit old, and the DM could simply be trying to reduce the frequency of the dick jokes in a creative way.
Oh, you’re right, I forgot it already has an i for intelligence.
You forgot the I.
For more context, it was a Windows 8.1 license I upgraded to 11. But yes, still crazy they let it “expire” when using the exact same hardware. My theory is that because the BIOS update changed my TPM keys, Windows couldn’t tell that it was the same hardware.
I had been dual booting for a while with Windows 11/Fedora until one day I needed to update the BIOS on my motherboard. Windows decided it was too big of an upgrade and wanted me to activate again. I called support, and they said that I had used up all my activations and would need to buy a new copy.
Thanks Microsoft, for helping me switch full time to Linux!
I’ve been using ForwardEmail, and have been happy with them so far. Their free tier only allows aliasing, but the cheapest paid tier is only $3/month, and you can use Thunderbird/K-9 as your mail client.
Oh, right. I forgot many admins don’t have physical access to the machines, just saw this in another Lemmy post: https://lemm.ee/post/37448621
Do the computers always bsod right away, or can they boot long enough to try getting their recovery keys?
I’ve tried using SFC multiple times and had it work zero times. One time after SFC failed to find anything wrong, I ended up fixing the machine by replacing the system file with a copy from a working machine.
