@nixCraft Oh, worked here, too! Anybody tried those keys already?
@nixCraft what do you do with them anyway. It's pretty hard to find a piece of hardware that is not licensed for windows.

@nixCraft

How are you feeling about the Reddit debacle?

@PragmaticOne very few will migrate to another platform
@nixCraft that's really funny, do those keys actually work?
@matt @nixCraft they're probably KMS keys or generic keys, ChatGPT keeps pulling them from microsoft's support site and giving them to people, you can activate with them but the KMS ones require a licensing server and the generic ones aren't fully activated. If you really need windows for some reason grab the virtualbox VM from microsoft's site, install your software, then snapshot it, the "30 day" never expires because you technically never shut down. (I use this to test windows builds)
@nixCraft I wonder if these are proper licenses or just generic KMS keys lol
@jj @nixCraft They’re almost certainly just a string of random letters fitting the format
@nixCraft this exploit is going to get nerfed so fast but thanks for the laughs

I still sleep better since I've switched to Linux. My machine runs faster, doesn't have bloatware, and isn't spying/data harvesting me.
