I have an unactivated windows computer I've been using for 3 years, it works fine and even gets updates it just says "activate windows" in the corner of the screen.

It used to be it also wouldn't let you change your wallpaper, but I don't know if that's still a thing and there were ways around it.

[-] ealoe@ani.social 4 points 7 months ago

Probably true, but that particular computer just runs a Plex server and a few other things so the wallpaper doesn't matter to me

I suspect that's not a mission critical function for someone stuck on another planet with no internet.

Not unless the only way to get back home is to change the wallpaper!

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
