>there are unironically retards who buy windows keys off ebay>while simultaneously calling open source activators like MAS malware>MAS has detailed documentation of every step of the process and how it works and even how you can manually perform the activation without using MAS at allhow does someone even get to be that retarded?
/v/tards don't know anything about technology other than slapping together a pc (if not just buying a prebuilt or a gaymen laptop) and double clicking steam but they still come here because their manchildren games require interacting with computers. If only you had to associate your github or leetcode account to post on /g/ the board quality would rise immeasurably.

>>101220604The funniest part is that paying for stolen keys is far worse than using MASGravel, which is free and uses Microsoft's official servers.

>there are unironically retards who buy windows keys off ebay>retards who buy windows keys off ebayOne zoomie at work bought the lisence from the store that built the PC for him. With EuroPoor taxes it was over 100€ but at least he got a fancy looking DVD box. (story doesn't end there, he also paid for the installation ~90€ ("to make sure it gets done right"))t. non-IT job
>>101224024Wait you can get 11 on optical Media?? When I bought it it came on USB.
>>101224041Was the drive itself from Microsoft? Yeah I heard you can get that but DVDs are still the norm.
>>101220711how can poop derail trains?????
>>101220604If that's retarded what do you call someone buying Windows 11 Pro for Workstations for 299.99?
>>101220604I dont consider it malware but when i have to download a script and multiple exes just to get windows to not call home every 5 seconds and to not update without asking i find myself questioning why i bother with such a user-hostile experience.
I'm convinced MAS devs have some kind of sexual blackmail relationship with whoever at Microsoft is in charge of taking down illegal tools like this
>>101225340>when i have tosounds like you're just a dumb fucking tech illiterate nigger pathetically trying to find a scapegoat for your nigger retard technology illiteracy, just like 99% of windows crying on /g/windows has tons of legitimate documented problems, but you subhuman niggers never complain about those, you only only cry about non-existent schizo fantasy make believe or problems anyone with 3 digit IQ could solve in 10 seconds

>>101225295The same way airplanes can melt steel beams
>>101220604>open source activators like MASHave you ever wondered why Microsoft (the owner of GitHub) allows MAS to be hosted on GitHub?
>>101225968No I don't. Do you?
>>101225968
>>101225968Windows main revernue source are from companies and OEMs, retail are chump changePrevent people from installing cracked ISOs which could be backdooredPreserve user share by making it "free"The last 2 reason are why MS lets you to use and update unactivated Windows pretty much the same as paying users
>>101225968>Corpos pay>money from retail is data, not salesPretty much it.
>>101220604/g/ users will shit on windows and turn around to "upgrade" to a mac. There is no limit to how retarded "people" are on here. And no I'm not saying Linux is the answer to windows, but holy fuck you're jumping 3 levels down if you go to a mac
>>101225634Pardon?I'm talking about the ads and telemetry.
>>101227892>intentionally installing consoomer trash sounds like you're the exact type of nigger retard he's talking about
>>101220604>M$ decides enough is enough>sends "update" targeting MAS usersyour OS is literally your whole "digital life" and you're really going to play stupid licensing games with a trillion dollar corp who needs to continually reach higher and higher profits?You can just do the sane thing and stop playing the game and use Linux.
I kek looking through the scripts and how they intentionally obfuscate them.
>>101225828what about the impact?
>>101225634>but you subhuman niggers never complain about thoseI literally complain about them all the time because windows is objectively worse than Linux.Cope winjeet. also enjoy your ads.
>>101224070>dvds are still a normbullshit, I haven't seen an optical drive in a corporate computer since hp elitedesk g4 iirc, that was probably released in 2016 or so, all the new laptops or desktops don't have it
>>101220604I bought a windows 10 pro key for 1.5$.It worked for 3-6 months, hasn't worked ever since.
>>101227892I have never seen a single ad on any wangblows that was installed by me, I literally can't fathom how much of a skill issue this fucking isor is it just the burgers getting the ads? what fucking gives
>>101228192I paid 0 currency for windows since 98 and it has worked for more than 20 years now
>>101225968>Guys seriously don't use this script, Microsoft themselves are secretly using it to hack your PC!>Pay actual money for a key from Microsoft themselves!
>>101228182>corporateTalking home users here.
>>101225968Foot in the door technique anon, it's not like it's the source of their main revenue. It's no big loss to them if people pirate it, even if people don't pay for it these exact same people still make Windows more relevant.Software developers will target relevant platforms and this inevitably drags in corporations who will not only use Windows and pay for it (the fines for using pirated software are huge), but other Microsoft services too.
>>101220604I bought my windows key out on Gamespot for like $35 out of principle. If I’m gonna talk the amount of shit I do about the OS, I should be part of the solution.
>>101228342if you want to be part of the solution you would do everything possible to let MS know that you refuse to use their consoomer shit editions, including blatant piracy and activation of ltsc editions and encouraging widespread mass adoption of ltsc usage

>>101220711We have these "people" in Europe. They're the scourge for anyone having the misfortune of living in their vicinity.
MAS phones home and it's NOT documented
>>101227909xp my beloved...
>>101229778where is home, what is phoned, and why do I care?
>>101220604>MAS>opensourceThe core parts definitley aren't. The only fully """opensource""" part of it is the KMS activation and that literally just makes windows point to some random server. HWID isn't that bad since you can patch gatherosstate yourself(good luck understanding what the binary patch does kekw) and the OHook source you have to dig through to find the sourcecode for presumably the dll they're injecting into Office
>>101230764then wipe your install after activation and do a clean install, the key is already registered on ms' activation server
>>101225968their customer service actually uses it
>>101220711>leetcode>n07 l337c0d3
>>101220604>>101220604>>101220604Speaking as if>Open sourceImplied any sort of safety in post-xz fiasco world, where even jQuery, literally plain text script you can view as you run it, got hit by Chinese malpractice. Truly a m$ shill trying to install spyware on illegally activated systems, hoping to catch some company redhanded for settlements. (True practice btw.)
>>101220604They don't need to worry about me using MAS.Their OS is so hard to set up nowadays compared to Linux.
>>101225968well shit
>>101231285meds schizo
>>101225968Because Windows is just the vessel to ensure MS Office domination.
>>101220604I paid 5$ for windows 8 key. It's just easier and more convenient getting a working key like that rather than installing a ton of random software and connecting to some dodgy servers to activate
>activating using MASyou activate using an universal glownigger controlled key obfuscated in the iid>activating using a cheap keyyou activate using a key stolen by a nigger which then is sold to gullible retards until it stops working
>wintard elitistskek
>>101220604I gave my product key away because I use Arch.
>>101220604>buy windows keys off ebayi've never heard of anyone doing this ever but zoomer retards have stopped surprising me
>>101220604It's like 2$, so whatever. Probably a better alternative than some malware injector.
>>101220604I buy keys whenever I resell a PC, I can upsell by a lot by just slapping w11 pro at the end of my publication, don't even use windows myself.
>>101220711I've been shittin on the rail roadAll the live long day!
