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.

    Based on the rumors about putin and his paranoia, I'd assume that computer is not connected to the internet lol

    Some photos of him have really awkwardly positioned computers - like no way anyone works like that. Hence why some choose to believe him to be a complete luddite.

    It's "voting", that's why he's projected to win with 101.2% votes

    You joke but behind the Iron Curtain the dictators used to win "elections" with something like 98% of votes. "See, we have some malcontents but they're a tiny minority." It was all doctored of course but it's funny that they bothered to keep it believable when everybody knew the truth, both inside the country and elsewhere.
