No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

There is also the fun part where Windows won't recognize your PC / accept your license after some upgrades...
Yup.
Build PC
Activate Windows
Motherboard develops a fault
Get a refund/replacement
Install it
Windows is no longer activated, because they tied it to the motherboard...
motherfuckers... that's awful.

You can activate, change editions and extend support using it
Sweet, thank you!
Yes. You need to do it in a PowerShell, not a regular command prompt insofar as I know.
