I was under the impression that even just letters (no case) would take a lifetimes to brute force if you exceeded 15 characters. And that drops to just 11 if you mix cases, numbers and special characters.

My old domain registrar set an 7 character limit, no special characters of any kind. Just numbers and letters. This was back in 2020 🫠

It’s more of a long term strategy to reign in control of how people “consume” the internet. Google wants an ad on your desktop. They want your browser to stop, just like YouTube videos, to show you a brief 20s ad spot.

They are embolden now because they have amassed a massive user base with Chrome and all its ill gotten derivatives. And the EU eyeballing big tech is likely putting a fire under their ass.

And yes, when ad revenue drops, that tends to focus an ad company. With that said, they have only been increasing ad spots and their length over recent years and that has not had the impact from your data. So…

But yeah, all these companies are just working tireless to as many put locks on the net as possible to force you into more subscriptions, which are what companies are all about. Passive incoming has always been absolute gold.

Torrents are registered. Only people who can access the private website get access to the torrent. It’s much harder for the bottom barrel legal teams that just sit on them recording IPs, like they do on public ones.

They can certainly get into a private tracker but will be found before long. This also depends on how the private tracker is run and by whom.

Use a VPN when doing illegal shit. Don't leave to a shady website.

MS servers cannot detect the difference as they are issued just like real ones. It’s literally a real, free license lol.

Your gripes about inflation are justified.

All I’m saying there were so many red flags on buying these that you’d have to be new to technology to not have seen this coming. I’m actually surprised they weren’t doing or worse from day one 🤷‍♂️

This guy doing gods work, literally open up a shell, copy pasta, get a full license from Microsoft lol

On Windows 8.1/10/11, right-click on the Windows start menu and select PowerShell or Terminal (Not CMD).

Copy-paste the below code and press enter irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex

You will see the activation options, and follow onscreen instructions.

That's all. Registered till you make a sweeping change to its hardware with a real license from Microsoft.

Or you know have the sense god gave goats and be able to see the neon sign as they have been blowing out Amazon home devices for years. Now they need to recoup that half decade of losses. Buckle up.

Honestly, this is why we are here. I get it if you use their delivery because getting stuff can be hard depending on the area. But this stuff, where there are half dozen competing options… come on.

You can’t use Facebook privately. There’s no such thing.
