  • The hangouts app was actually sick. You could connect to Google voice and your actual phone number allowing you to:

    • place phone calls from voice on your computer or phone
    • place phone calls from your actual number on your phone
    • send text messages from voice on your computer or phone
    • send text messages from your actual number on your phone (and possibly computer)
    • send ims from your computer or phone

    It was available within gmail or on its own dedicated site, and it automatically collated conversations regardless of send medium.

    It made communication free and easy regardless of what device I was using–then they rebranded it and made it IM only–then they killed it.















  • You’ve basically built a new computer; generally that means a new license. There’s still a few things you could try though:

    • Undo your changes and remake them individually with a little bit of time between each change (this is basically what you did on your first PC)
    • Try the activation process and let them know it’s the same PC, just with some hardware upgrades. I’ve had success reassigning an OEM key before using the telephone method.
    • Buy a new (non-oem) license and register it with your account (I think you can have up to 5 licenses registered this way then you can pretty much arbitrarily revoke and reassign it among your future computers without hassle)
    • Run the activator script

    MS is generally pretty flexible regarding personal licenses and use. As long as you aren’t trying to run the same license on multiple machines you should be fine. What you can’t do is move the license from the OEM machine to your new custom build and expect the OEM machine to remain licensed.

    It’s an ironic picture at the very least, but how do we know they actually support Trump and are not just wearing the shirt as a sort of “armor” in an ineffective attempt to not be targeted (like why some people who don’t have significant thoughts about the police will put a “back the blue” bumper sticker on their car to try to avoid speeding tickets)?
