Considering they don't know about massgrave.dev to permanently activate their copy and it's Windows 10, they probably also don't know about extended W10 EOL updates, which means that computer likely hasn't received a security update since October, 2025.
Based on the rumors about putin and his paranoia, I'd assume that computer is not connected to the internet lol
Some photos of him have really awkwardly positioned computers - like no way anyone works like that. Hence why some choose to believe him to be a complete luddite.
I think most of the pictures of him "using" a computer are very much staged and not his actual setup. But they probably have that stupid setup because he doesn't have a setup because he never uses one lol
Absolutely, that monitor isn't even plugged in. (No, seriously, look at it!)
How is he online voting then?
Surprise! He’s not.
It's "voting", that's why he's projected to win with 101.2% votes
You joke but behind the Iron Curtain the dictators used to win "elections" with something like 98% of votes. "See, we have some malcontents but they're a tiny minority." It was all doctored of course but it's funny that they bothered to keep it believable when everybody knew the truth, both inside the country and elsewhere.
The vote goes to himself. No need for an online detour.
He’s the man and he has the vote
i'm gonna guess it was a staged photo using a hastily-prepped pc as a prop.
