No, it’s not. At worst it’s violating the license agreement. Nearly every one of these methods is provided directly by Microsoft - the only one that isn’t is the OEM key.

Of course, you need to buy your computer from Apple to use macOS (pretty much), but at least the operating system is free.

I ALWAYS print the relevant page from the TSA/airline website if I suspect I’ll have to justify something. Especially when traveling with a child. Print the car seat and food rules, just in case someone doesn’t know and tries to enforce their own rules. 

Not even close.

I’m not sure about 7, but I have a laptop I upgraded recently to Windows 10 from 8.1, hoping for a speed boost.

“Is Windows 10 more bloated than Windows 7?”

2GB RAM with Windows 10 would be painful. It is very bloated and MS is not going to fix it.

You can still get updates to install. You can search for and find a patch that will trick your PC into thinking the processor is supported by Windows.

My machine won’t update. It seems Microsoft and Intel got together and decided the processor I bought would only support Windows 10 updates. I mean, I was able to run the updates when I first built the damn thing and turned it on to run Win7 for the first time, but then one of the patches “broke” the updates and said…

Let me grab my laptop and do something real quick before I have to leave. Laptop: Windows has installed these updates and will reboot now, please do not power off, and the updating % is stuck on 2%, with the little dots going round and round

It would help if the update would work instead of failing to install! I haven’t been able to install the update even after numerous attempts. That includes doing the update without my AV software running.

I totally agree with you, science is awesome but then again, these devices allow us to have to have access to so much information and yet we have anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.

My theory on this is that it’s more purely Japanese than the LFA or the NSX, both of which are like Japanese takes on Italian exotics—one front-engined, the other mid. And the Miata is a Japanese take on a classic British roadster, which is why it starts every day, unlike an MG or whatever.

I thought Kristen’s night pics turned out great!

I agree with on the “You’re always holding it back. Always.” is like owning a liter bike. You/it want to go fast, but..... every reason.

I’m a farmer and I not only like to travel with the food I grow and raise to gift to people I stay with; I also rarely find better food away from home and despise overpaying for inferior food. For these reasons I feel like I’ve road tested this in ways that most people haven’t. In case anyone is wondering, you can…

Ha! I guess your mileage varies.

Hmm. The list leads off with a prohibition on wine, liquor and beer.

I agree on the point on free vs paid, but what is wrong with ES file explorer?
