@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I don’t know. If they have a database were used keys are checked during activation process, it could be difficult to globally crack this… 🤷

if you change hardware and want to reuse the same digital key, as the key has already been used, activation on MS side will just be rejected: you have to buy a new digital key

digital keys don’t work the same way than product keys (that are stored on hardware)

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot it seems not (cf. screenshot)

What I use is a digital license: it seems the digital license is not stored in the hardware
I suppose when it’s activated, windows send information to a MS Server
They store the information the digital license is used by this user/hardware

If you try to reuse the digital license key, you’ll be rejected during activation because it’s already flagged as used on MS side

Something like this I think 🙃

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I bought a valid license key product of W11 of 0.14eur :ablobcatcoffee:
(And my w10 also have a valid license key bought for similar price)

It’s an OEM license so once it’s used, I can’t reuse it on an another computer
But at this price I think it’s Ok to buy a new one if the MB is dead 😅

But an another side, MB of a VM normally won’t die 💪

I’m not sure what you mean by “since the vm doesn’t provide the chip to embed the license”?

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot most of windows users don’t even know what is a partition… talking about GPT, you can be sure they’ll interpret this as something related to ChatGPT… :ablobcatknitsweats:

also on my side, I have a w10 running in VM, with MBR.
cloned the VM and upgraded it to w11 took me time and I had to do a lot of tech stuff for the GPT
not hard, but technical; too technical for most of Windows users probably…

@Bro666 I wasn’t aware of CTRL+M
This makes my day thanks!
(Then I’ll maybe reconsider other applications for which hamburger seems to be the default…)

I always use classic menu and never saw that the hamburger menu already exists in Kate 😅

I was so afraid when I saw the screenshot :ablobcatknitsweats:

@whjjackwhite @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Ooh you means that’s optional, and classic menu bar will still be here for whom prefer it!? :blobcataww:

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ooh…
A hamburger menu in Kate :ablobcatknitsweats:

My fears seems to come true 😰

I’ll wait to see the final result but it’s probably for me the signal to start to look for something else 😟
