FAQ:
>How do I activate Windows?
https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
HWID mimics upgrade activation to generate a permanent legitimate license. (non-VL only)

>>Which W10 version should I install?
>Home/Pro
Comes with bloatware apps (games, music, news, etc) and bloatware system apps
>Edu/Workstation/Enterprise
Comes with bloatware system apps (weather, people, onedrive, teams, etc).
>LTSC, 5 years support VL-KMS only
>IoT LTSC, 10 years support HWID only
Comes with Win32 system utils, no MS Store, no apps. It's basically W10: W7 Edition
If you need MS Store, run this in cmd: wsreset -i
Install Xbox/Gamebar apps for feature parity with other versions.

>Do I even need IoT LTSC?
W10 Home/Pro/Edu/Ent editions end support in 2025, LTSC in 2027, IoT LTSC in 2032.

>How do I activate Office?
https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO/releases
Emulated KMS server, not ideal as it can trip AV and deactivate. Alternatively, use MSOffice through your browser since it's free.
Or you can try OnlyOffice/LibreOffice and set it to save as MSOffice file formats.

Have you ever sent a dirty picture to your niece by accident? What was the response?

Why is macOS so bad as a server OS?

What can I do when my niece mentally and emotionally drains me?

This userscript makes browsing the archives pretty comfy. The script keeps forgetting my settings after I close Firefox, which is annoying. Does anyone reading this even use this, if so does it work fine for you?

Waaaiiii!! Usushio!!
Akari usushio daisuki!
