    Considering they don’t know about massgrave.dev to permanently activate their copy and it’s Windows 10, they probably also don’t know about extended W10 EOL updates, which means that computer likely hasn’t received a security update since October, 2025.

    Look, if you want to cast one vote then Russian hardware can handle it just fine, but if you have to cast thousands, that needs something faster.

    Plot twist: it’s not connected to the Internet. He has a button labeled “PRESS TO WIN ELECTION” installed in his dacha.

    At first glance I thought the story was going to be Putin illegally voting in US midterms to give backing to Trump’s efforts to undermine them. One autocrat doing a solid for another. Trump could probably get Dell or even Tim Apple to hook up a new ‘puter for the Putin’.

    Been a long minute since I looked at pre-built machines. That’s a Dell All-in-One. I had to look that up. I’m glad I did, I was about to make a stupid comment that it’s a Dell monitor, but no telling what PC it’s attached to.
