They deserve to need paint repair after using that metal shovel as a snowbrush.

Yeah...I don't think that's gas he's dumping on the windshield. It's a garden watering can. The cars are parked on the street, it looks like. Their luggage is sitting outside on the ground because the doors and trunk are frozen shut. He's dumping warm/hot water on it to melt ice.

Dummy better be careful not to crack that windshield doing that. I'm not sure why he prioritized thawing the windows before the doors and trunk to be able to get into the vehicle first, but they don't seem to have an ounce of common sense between them, IMO.

At least it isn't 4lbs of chicken nuggets. :p :laughing:

I didn't think it was petroleum either, I thought there was going to be a loud crack from when hot/boiling water hits a freezing cold windscreen.

I too was wondering about was the use of the shovel on the car's bodywork, rather like that video I can't find whereby someone tried to undo a car dent with tape and ended up pulling paint off.

Back in the XP phone in activation days, the best technique was to say nothing at all. The computer would give up trying to talk to you, and send you to a real human. God, what a shitshow. So glad I don't have to deal with windows anymore. Half the knowledge you acquire running windows, is techniques to subvert their efforts to fuck you over.

Couple weeks ago I reused an M.2 drive on a new Raptor Lake compatible board. Backed up a fresh image to separate storage as usual, but just plugged the M.2 in and booted off it to see what would happen.

Zero re activation bullshit. This was an OEM license too, purchased 2019ish. Feels like Redmond definitely gives less of a shit about that than it did in the XP/7 days.

Yeah I spent a good amount of time on the phone for just that (activating 2K/ME and then XP) when I worked at Geeksquad 25 years ago. PITA and glad I haven't had to do it since.
