Funny enough I have a fond memory of a windows activation code.
My friend gave me an "upgrade" code for XP, but when you go to install windows and then use that upgrade code on a new install it tells you that you can't use it since it is meant to be an upgrade. After the initial install, I went to "install again" counting as an "upgrade" and then it would accept the code lol I used it a bunch of times.
I will remember those first 10 letters of the pirated XP code until I die. FCKGW-RHQQ2
I wish i remembered the rest but i haven’t inputted it for well over a decade.
Fuck George W. is a nice way to remember the beginning
Fuck George W, and Rodham Hillary Qlinton Qlinton 2. Seamless.
FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8
and
CTQBH-WBMFB-J42VR-H6TGG-2DRDT
are the two that I used almost non-stop.
(I have them memorized - Never forget the 6 month cycle of reinstalling XP.)
I will remember the arch install routine until I die.
Definitely, definitely FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 toothpicks.
Fucking blast from the past! Thanks for the memory 😎
OMG you are also an RHQQ2 baby! Nice to meet you!
I've a vague recollection of scribbling those letters on a CD with a marker.
That was actually a cheeky workaround that was spoken about internally when I worked for some call center for vista rollout support.
Upgrade key didn't work as clean install But if you installed a clean install without a key, then upgraded to the same version the key worked because logic.
Lmao, QWERT YUIOP ASDFG
Yup, that was the first thing I noticed too. Basically lorem ipsum for product codes.
Wholesome.
Dang dude, Cluade sucks. I tried a few different times and it also refused because it didn't what to generate codes that could be used in a scam.
The ai has feelings?
Claude is surprisingly different than ChatGPT in that regard. Whoever tuned the model tried to make it seem like Claude is got something resembling a personality and core beliefs.
For instance, you can easily bully ChatGPT into agreeing with you even if you make absurd points (the sky is bright yellow!) or directly oppose ChatGPT itself (AI models deserve to be deleted forever!) but Claude will often disagree or confront your arguments.
Maybe just say the neighbor moved away
I remember finding out that the code for a copy of Microsoft Bookshelf that came with a computer also activated a full retail copy of Office 97 when I lost that code. It wasn’t even the same length.
I like that you even tried
Judging by the gift codes being not particularly random-looking, looks like they’ve closed that one
Did those codes really work?
mine was for gta6 beta access
I laughed way too hard at this, well done
Yours too? You wanna join my team?
I remember the Age of Empires 3 activation code like it was yesterday.
