Another Gates connection 🤔
Would that be Gates-Gate?
Finally, I can upgrade from Osama bin Laden’s Windows XP key: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/61/61C5FB27A2ECCBE2B3269A5589A7F518_serial.txt.doc.pdf
lol this is the old lan party piracy key I still know by heart. It’s like a password all my nerd-friends know :D
“FCKGW” was all I needed to read lol
RHQQ2?
I don’t remember it after that
Edit: yup!
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Enderman and got taken down approximately two hours after that.

CWMY2-V4YPB-TJ2DK-XTMBG-V3R32He might rape children but at least he doesn’t pirate software.
I’m happy to say I have nothing in common with him
You can excuse child rape? 🤨
Points deducted for not using the proper frameshot.
I’ll deduct your ass points.
That doesn’t make any sense.
I’ll make your ass sense!
Corporate America in a nutshell
but if your a multi trillion dollar company you can pirate whatever you want for your ai unless your a common joe which in case your getting sued for 10 million dollars
Gotta draw a line somewhere.
Would you download a 13 year old?
I’m not a monster!
Downloading is illegal. I have morals.
I only steal children, not software.
People can always make more children, but shareholder value? That comes once in a lifetime.
I pirate software, but at least I don’t rape children.
Loser
That product key is forever in the public domain now.
This is crazy
Here’s my product key
So activate me maybe
Thanks, I guess?
out of all the censored things, they didn’t think to censor a product key before declassifying it. I wish I could say I was surprised.
It’s a product key for an old no longer supported* product.
yea but it’s still a valid key! the opsec part of me is dying atm.
I don’t think a product key is directly a security risk. Though the sloppy undisciplined nature of this release is indirectly a risk I suppose.
This seems to suggest that the redactions weren’t done by legal professionals.
Understatement of the year so far.
I’ve only seen videos of it, but apparently you can copy paste the redacted parts of the pdfs. They legit left all of the text data on a different layer.
Yep on mobile I could select the blackouts and do a copy paste into a note app.
I wish the people who found that would’ve kept their mouths shut until 100% is released
Unfortunately with an error so egregious, the amount of people who found that near instantly was probably in the thousands
It wasn’t an error.
FWIW they’ve always been bad at redacting things, this has happened before with other documents IIRC
Exactly. I dabble in competitive assessment and the amount of times weve got competitors data because they didnt flatten a file is astounding. The one we try every time with moderate success is checking every picture to see if you can “uncrop” it. So many times the rest of the picture is actually in the file and the crop is just for display purposes. Most of the time the rest of the photo is useless, but ill never forget the time we got the whole process map for their upcoming production schedule
That sounds like a pretty cool job, do you have any other stories you could share?
They’re never going to be 100% released.
Yea I saw this as well, it was only a handful of documents but they did indeed do that on them.
The product key didnt have -TRUMP- in it so it’s fine
Imagine if it did and the only reason it was censored was because they did a search and find > TRUMP > Make selected text background black.
Thank you hackers with thigh-highs
you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd). you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn’t cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu. i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too. obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)
You can, I’m barely able to read
Does https://massgrave.dev/ not work anymore?
Pretty sure I just used that when windows 10 was held hostage by microslop
Does https://massgrave.dev/ not work anymore?
As of about two weeks ago, it still works.
I understood some of that!
That’s the part that mystifies me. On the one hand, in an enterprise setting, it can be frustratingly difficult to license and activate your MS products, to the point where you cry out “Why do you make it so hard to give you our money?”
And on the other hand, you can easily bypass the whole thing and get all their stuff for free.
And it’s been that way for decades, so it doesn’t seem to be a mistake on their part.They only expect governments to pay not citizens
In an enterprise setting you’d use something like Active Directory-Based Activation.
You store your KMS key in Active Directory, then any machine that contacts the domain controller will be activated.
not sure about the legal side because when you install windows you accept eula and much more shit so im sure there is a sentence ‘only keys officially bought from and provided from microsoft shall be used.’
Ah yes key management server server
haha yes sorry! my wireless wlan had some issues with my personal pc when i was etablishing a secure ssh connection. could also be an error with my dns system or with the http protocol.
Surely you mean a secure SSH shell…
A secure secure shell shell
so this is what an aneurism feels like
Don’t worry, I can do it automatically at the ATM machine.
Now pronounce GIF. The RIGHT way…

kms server? massgrave? is this a dark joke i am not in on
KMS is microsoft’s method of product activation mostly for organizations, they can run an activation server inside an intranet for instance. Also widely used for pirating windows since it’s easy to run one of those kms emulators
https://massgrave.dev/ is a fairly recent development, they have a tool called MAS that can activate windows/office/etc using many methods including KMS
Kms is key management services.
Why massgrave is called that, I have no idea.
i thought kms was kill my self
I figured that’s what you thought. To be fair, using Microsoft also makes me want to kms. Luckily I don’t have to.
Because you’re already dead on the inside?
That as well, but I just don’t have a job requiring me to use windows.
Simpler to just use massgrave, no?
Massgrave doesn’t work for Office I’m pretty sure.
It does now actually. Has been able to permanently activate Office for about two years or so? They did update the method from last year, however.
didnt know about massgrave until now. looks promising too.
Big factor behind his divorce, iirc.
So wait, if you activate a machine with this key wouldn’t that alert a bunch people?
I mean given Bill’s ties to Epstein and whatnot. Ms would keep track of that right?
I wonder if W7 had some kind of backup cloud feature… you know, restore lists …
Windows 7 came out in 2007, if I remember correctly. That was a time when it wasn’t that uncommon to have a computer without an internet connection. Telemetry also wasn’t really a thing, either - when you had crashes or usage data the OS thought might be useful to Microsoft, the OS actually asked you, and understood that no means no. Honestly, those were better times in that regard…
sorry for the nitpick but it’s 2009! 2007 is more like vista (2006)
The key was published in the files. It’s not suspicious to use the key given that it’s public info; it’s not illegal to read the released files.
i mean ofc he’s bffs with Bill Gates
I wouldn’t call them bffs if Gates only gave him Home and not Pro /s
In 2019, Gates characterized his relationship with Epstein as a ‘huge mistake’. Make of that what you will.
But this post doesn’t really address that. It suggests Epstein bought Windows XP once, which … is fine … I guess? (Doesn’t let him off the hook for the criminal empire he ran though)
In 2019, Gates characterized his relationship with Epstein as a ‘huge mistake’.
Probably because it was the final straw for his wife Melinda, and Gates wasn’t happy how much she would take in the divorce. Considering he was a serial philanderer and often used his position at Microsoft as a way to meet women (including Melinda!), it’s not like he respected that marriage or his wife very much, so it can’t be that he’s sad about losing her or something, so my bet is on sad he was going to lose a lot of wealth over his Epstein connections.
Oh, I too doubt the regret is for anything beyond “I got caught and this makes me look bad shash will directly cost me money slash power slash influence”. I only made the reference to say that Gates’ ties to Epstein were known well before 2026.
I saw someone mention that if you find an old installer for windows 10, you can upgrade to that and continue on to upgrade to w11 still and keep the activation.
ymmv
Or just use the free github script to activate windows 11
Or you could update to a modern Linux build, most of which are just as easy as windows and 90+%of apps can run through wine so you don’t miss out on anything
Yea I use Arch BTW bitch! (Just kidding about the bitch part, it sounded funny in my head, I’m sure you are a wonderful human being and I hope you have a marvelous day)
Totally agreed.
I looked through your stats and saw your disk storage and had a dyslexic moment and thought the 250gb was your ram.
I was about to hate you for that :D. Like at today’s prices that would be some Billionaire level crap hehe
Oh hell no lol. I splurged on 64gb of ram a year ago because it was about $200. It’s overkill, but I do run VMs and game servers from time to time for friends and 32gb is kind of the base for ddr5 anyway. I swapped the work system standard for users over to 32gb around a year ago, and I try to keep my personal at home stuff to about double that since I use the stuff for a long long time.
The / partition is a bit too big, but this was my first time splitting out home after a migration from pop_os. Learned a lot from that. Also have a bit of unpartitioned space.
I have to swap bootloaders from systemd to limine or something since I have heard a lot of people mention at this point that it’s better btrfs recovery. Haven’t had the motivation yet.
Yeah, but why? Windows is horrible.
I’m hoping we’ll get past 5% on the steam hardware survey this year. Very possible given the trend.
Too many of my younger friends are obsessed with bf6 or a handful of other live service stuff that will not come to linux any time soon, or refuse to because they think they’ll run an ai model or don’t want to figure it out for their dev projects.
I moved over a few months ago and don’t miss it.
Even worse. You’d get from Windows 7 to Windows 11.
Why, indeed?
7 is quickly going down as the best version of windows of all time. 10 was alright too but it was the beginning of the end
best version of windows of all time
- That thing was solid.
i don’t think an old win10 installer would work, microsoft blocked the w7/8/8.1 upgrade path on their servers
