danielp3344dabblerdude: have you considered a different OS?Dec 30 00:07
danielp3344I assure you there are plenty of options better than win10Dec 30 00:07
dabblerdudeI did originally. I'm trying to sell this one computer that originally had Ubuntu MATE on it. After it failed to sell, I realized that most people would want to buy PCs with 10 on them. Dec 30 00:08
cybrNautXRevan86> dabblerdude: Pass an inspection. <= can you elaborate?  I was told win10 is gratis, which implies that it's legal Dec 30 00:09
XRevan86cybrNaut: If it's not activated, then no.Dec 30 00:10
XRevan86There are catches here. I'm not a specialist on the topic.Dec 30 00:10
cybrNautdanielp3344: i recently encountered a shitty Canon MFD driver, where you must run Windows to send a fax (the linux driver doesn't support the fax, wine doesn't work, and ReactOS does not work)  Did I miss anything?Dec 30 00:10
XRevan86cybrNaut: That's just an anecdote %)Dec 30 00:11
XRevan86Here my anecdote: I have a scanner that works, but drivers for Windows are a goner, so if I were a Windows user, I'd trash it already.Dec 30 00:12
danielp3344cybrNaut: Last time I sent a fax I hacked something together with SIPDec 30 00:12
danielp3344I forget how well it workedDec 30 00:12
danielp3344It was mostly an experimentDec 30 00:12
cybrNautdanielp3344: I'm using SIP... that's the upstream setup, but the MFD is the thing doing the sendingDec 30 00:13
XRevan86danielp3344: "I forget" – well, don't then, stop forgetting.Dec 30 00:13
danielp3344 cybrNaut get a sip client for your pc and do the faxing there?Dec 30 00:13
danielp3344there are a few programs that support it I thinkDec 30 00:13
cybrNautdanielp3344: i might mess with hylafax.. is that what you used?Dec 30 00:15
danielp3344noDec 30 00:16

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Imgur: The magic of the InternetDec 30 00:27
dabblerdudeYou can do this legitimately. So it is legal.Dec 30 00:28
dabblerdudeIt's not done with Microsoft Toolkit or any other warez.Dec 30 00:28
dabblerdudeSee the setup screen there? That's what I had to go through when I was setting up an unactivated version of it.Dec 30 00:28
cybrNauti thought win10 was gratis because MS profits from ads and surveillance capitalism.  Dec 30 00:30

MinceRlolDec 30 00:31
danielp3344cybrNaut: did you really think they'd stop there? :PDec 30 00:31
dabblerdudeMicrosoft has taken a different approach when dealing with unactivated versions of Windows 10 compared to previous versions like 7, Vista, or XP.Dec 30 00:31
cybrNautdanielp3344: it's not speculation.  Someone told me it was gratis, and that person gave me a link to download win10 directly from MS servers.  And the link worked.  I was not asked to pay.  And, iirc, I was not asked for a product code eitherDec 30 00:32
danielp3344¯\_(ツ)_/¯Dec 30 00:32
danielp3344I don't really know much about windowsDec 30 00:32
danielp3344thankfully I haven't had to touch it for about 5 years nowDec 30 00:32
cybrNautit was like 5+ yrs ago that I dealt with itDec 30 00:33
cybrNautso i'm not really in touch with it.. i just recall the guy was quite confident that MS no longer sold it for moneyDec 30 00:34
dabblerdudeSo what I did was I downloaded the Microsoft Creation Tool from their website, downloaded a Windows 10 iso from the tool officially, went through the setup screen and installed an unactivated version of 10 legitimately.Dec 30 00:34
dabblerdudeWhat I wanted to know is that, what big features does an unactivated version disable compared to an activated one besides not being able to change the default wallpaper?Dec 30 00:35
danielp3344changeable wallpaper is a 'feature'? lolDec 30 00:36
dabblerdudeI'm trying to sell this one computer with that on it and I need to tell the buyer in my description what features you cannot utilize with that compared to an activated version.Dec 30 00:36
MinceRfor microsloth, it isDec 30 00:36
dabblerdudedanielp3344: Yeah, you cannot change the default blue Windows wallpaper with an unactivated version. You're stuck with it forever. Lol.Dec 30 00:36
cybrNautMicrosnot Winblows probably profits from ads on the wallpaperDec 30 00:36
psydroidlol, who cares about the wallpaperDec 30 00:37
dabblerdudeHas anyone in this chat ran an unactivated version before?Dec 30 00:37
psydroidat this point they're probably happy people don't trash windows before it's ever runDec 30 00:38
psydroidyou run an unactivated version until you activate itDec 30 00:38
cybrNauti think i installed win10 w/out activation for a one-off task, then deleted it.. my memory isn't good thoughDec 30 00:39
dabblerdudeI've looked up videos with the differences between activated and unactivated versions but the problem is is that most of those videos are 2 years old. I run Build 1909, and that came out last month. Those videos show they're running older builds of it.Dec 30 00:39
dabblerdudeOlder than 1909.Dec 30 00:40
dabblerdudeI need to tell the buyer of the computer these things so I don't get into any trouble with them because I failed to mention the important stuff.Dec 30 00:41
psydroidI've installed some versions of win10 unactivated for the same reason, they never last very long because I don't keep more data on it than necessaryDec 30 00:41
psydroidI haven't seen any different behaviour with 1903Dec 30 00:42
cybrNautdanielp3344: so you took no notes on what you used to send a fax on linux w/out any fax hardware?  There is often feature-poor fax modems that call for a software fax modem, but the signal still generally goes through the 2-wire phone line to a phone to a phone line or SIP ATA.  did you successfully send a fax entirely with software?Dec 30 00:42
psydroidof which I have an activated install because the key is in the UEFIDec 30 00:42
psydroidbut all of that is moot, because I run and use GNU/Linux 99.9% of the timeDec 30 00:44
dabblerdudepsydroid: Can you remember what features you could not use when you were running unactivated installs?Dec 30 00:45
dabblerdudeBesides personalization?Dec 30 00:45
psydroiddabblerdude, not really, I just used it to run one application before I reset the machine againDec 30 00:48
psydroidthat's all I use Windows for these daysDec 30 00:48
dabblerdudeDang.Dec 30 00:48
psydroidmaybe set higher resolutions?Dec 30 00:49
psydroidbut even that works fine in VirtualboxDec 30 00:49
XRevan86psydroid: That'd be sillyDec 30 00:49
psydroidit picks up 1920x1080 automaticallyDec 30 00:49
cybrNautdanielp3344: does this ring any bells? https://github.com/gonicus/gofaxip  I would like to get something like that going.  Dec 30 00:49

MinceR30 013727 < psydroid> lol, who cares about the wallpaperDec 30 01:02
MinceRyeah, having Backdoors10 is a much greater problem than not being able to change the wallpaperDec 30 01:02

oiaohmschestowitz: you can view the graphs on phoronix with Quantcast  blocked.    Key to seeing the graphs is that ajax.googleapis.com and openbenchmarking.org is enabled.   I use umatrix.   Dec 30 20:51
oiaohmschestowitz: bigger problem I had not noticed since I filter anything not on my white list straight out.  https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=legal  Quantcast is not listed on the their public privacy policy.Dec 30 20:55
