Being a similar age with the author, I can relate with many things (like so many people in the comments below). The writing style is a bit strange and as mentioned by others, it might have been (re)written by AI, but the message is still there.
Impressive! Seeing all the before and after photos is a nice touch.
With regards to the actual web page, white text on light background (partners part) makes it nice easily readable.
Love this, reminds me of a Windows program (whose name I’ve forgotten) that I was playing with some decades ago… Solarwinds or something similar. You could add planets/masses and play with orbits, trajectories and all sort of options.
The https://massgrave.dev activation scripts have support for various versions and also for enabling Extended Updates (ESU), but this is a bit off-topic and HN mods might come after us ;-)
I'm not sure it is off-topic. The parent to this one was talking about, presumably, dodgy Windows keys (that shouldn't be allowed) but from my understanding, the massgrave scripts just use internal Windows mechanisms to activate.
It's not actively usurping Windows security.
In fact, I've read more than once that Microsoft tech support have been known to use massgrave scripts to help with activation-related issues with clients: Although I should caveat that with saying that it may have been Reddit I found that info so pinch of salt and all that...
So, my take on this is if the massgrave scripts allow activation without breaking any laws then sobeit. I'm talking about doing stuff that, while it appears dodgy, actually just manipulates the ultra-complicated processes under the hood that Microsoft has already built into the OS.
It's like publicising the workarounds for the now-mandatory Microsoft account when installing Windows 11. These involve things like reg hacks and commands: they're already in Windows so publicise them all you want imo.
