Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet

acosmichippo@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

I know lots of people - older mostly - with computers that only have internet access on their phones.

exactly. you can use your phone to go to the windows activation site. you don’t need the PC you’re activating to have internet.

Where do you find the Internet on a flip phone?

  The 4G one she’s got from her service provider offers some form of limited access. Not sure, maybe the fancy ones have it? My mom will occasionally text me links to news items she’s found.

When i’m saying “Older mostly” am talking about people in their 70’s and 80’s that don’t use their phones for much more than texting and email.

NGL, at 61 I can’t use my phone for much more than that. I just cannot SEE it well enough for it to not be a massive frustrating ordeal.

Just wait until presbyopia strikes. It’s a bitch when the collagen breaks down in the body and the lenses in the eyes start to stiffen. Hit me in my mid 40’s. Fuck.
