... There's no particular way for me to get hold of Windows 10 for cheap nowadays, correct?
03:28
<&McMartin>
Cheapest option is probably some kind of OEM bundle with hardware.

They're not giving it out for free on upgrade anymore, right?

Way I got it was by buying a win7 license and upgrading.

<@abudhabi>
Too late. They're estimating time we'll need to use to do particular parts of the spec.
12:26
<@abudhabi>
I've delegated my estimate vote to a random non-developer, who probably knows more about this than I do.
12:27
<@abudhabi>
I'm only here because I asked about my missing permissions, and someone mentioned I should be in a meeting.
12:28
<@abudhabi>
Said missing permissions include a mailbox where I could receive meeting schedules.
12:28
<@abudhabi>
And work wiki access so I could read about stuff to do.

I'm on a work account so have to be slightly careful what I search for and click on, you see.

This one doesn't fully jailbreak it but it's arbitrary code execution in userspace.
20:53
<@Reiv>
That is indeed interesting.
20:54
<@Reiv>
[R] was assuring me it is possible to buy a windows 10 liscence for free, legally.
20:54
<@gnolam>
Well, judging from what I've heard from Switch developers... I am not surprised in the least.
20:54
<@Reiv>
I need to be mildly cautious about searching for such things lest I hit our anti-piracy firewalls >_>
20:54
<&McMartin>
Er, right
20:54
<&McMartin>
I had two conversational wires crossed, sorry~
20:55
<@Reiv>
np, that one was /also/ of interest
20:57
<&ToxicFrog>
If this is the same as it was a few months ago, it's "install win7, then start the win10 upgrade flow and tell it you need win10 for a11y reasons"
20:58
<@Reiv>
I thought they turned off the upgrade thing?
21:00
<&ToxicFrog>
It's still available for a11y upgrades, or was last time I looked at this. I forget how you activate it in that case, hence [R] pointing you at google.
21:00
<@Reiv>
aha
21:00 * Reiv will need to go look up a) what a11y means, b) whether his new processor can run windows 7 at /all/
21:00
<&McMartin>
"accessibility", I think.

a11y is accessibility, i18n is internationalization, l10n is localization.

21:15
<@celticminstrel>
Those are the worst abbreviations ever imagined.
21:15
<@celticminstrel>
But "a11y" is definitely the worst of the bunch by a huge margin.
21:15
<&McMartin>
i18n started it
21:15
<@celticminstrel>
Because you look at "a11y" and see "ally".
21:15
<&McMartin>
And it's the only one I accept as legitimate
21:16 * celticminstrel tries to decipher McMartin's message, gets as far as "this is" before being completely lost.

Reiv: through the accessibility system you can do an update

Thought AIUI that's also got a time limit, but it's further in the future.
22:38 * TheWatcher eyes this email from work
22:39
<@TheWatcher>
"Arglblargl this feature is terrible and looks bad, what have you broken?!?"
22:39 * TheWatcher quotes the email where said person specifically requested that exact thing, in the exact way I implemented it
22:42
<@gnolam>
>_<
22:42
<@gnolam>
Been there, done that, unfortunately.
22:43
<@gnolam>
And that is yet another reason I prefer e-mail over phone calls and meetings. There is a written record.
22:43
<@TheWatcher>
Yup!
22:44
<@TheWatcher>
and why my work email archive has messages going back 17 years in it~
22:47
<@TheWatcher>
This isn't the first time this guy has done this, either. He seems to demand features, refuses to listen to Zathras, and then a while later goes nuts claiming things are broken when it's the thing he's requested that changed the old behaviour.
23:04
<@Reiv>
Oh, I see.
23:05
<@Reiv>
... small query
23:05
<@Reiv>
I have a legit Windows 7 Pro at home
23:05
<@Reiv>
Does that upgrade free?
23:05
<@Reiv>
Or does that upgrade to Win10 Home anyway, or or or
23:07 LadyOfLight [catalyst@Nightstar-bt5k4h.81.in-addr.arpa] has quit [[NS] Quit: Leaving]
23:13
<@celticminstrel>
It upgrades to Win10 Pro IIRC.
23:14
<@celticminstrel>
I've occasionally wondered if I should get that accessibility update, and then immediately revert... just so that I can then upgrade later for free if I decide I actually do want to.
