Look for WUB (Windows Update Blocker) (from sordum.org)

You can test removing each character (and all possible truncations) and compare its hash to a previous password's hash. You don't need to store plain text for that.

It uses less resources, and might be suitable for potato-level PCs or phones.

The Reddit protest was implemented in the worst way possible.

What should have been done was make the subreddits read only, and provide a link to a successor community. Making a subreddit inaccessible does not help end users. With no successor community to direct visitors to, there is no place for the users to migrate to, and the protest becomes ineffective.

Asking for people's passwords seems like a good way to weed out the idiots who would provide them.

Boomers print out web pages.

Microsoft in the past has done date-based expiration of their operating systems. Granted, you needed to be running an Insider build for this to happen, but "outdated" insider builds are specifically designed to automatically BSOD after 4 hours of use.
Sucks if you were sticking with a particular build because the newer builds were too buggy.

You'll have that in your search history if you do that...

If you have a script that requires Python 2, you use Python 2. Or you do the manual and error-prone process of porting that script over to python 3, where strings and byte arrays are no longer the same type.

Freezing wasn't even the worst problem with JMicron controllers. That would be your SSD suddenly turning into an unreadable 4.2GB drive named "JM loader 001".

The strange song "Metallica" by Toxic AKA B0B Barker causes some very strange airflow effects around your speakers at about 2:13 and 4:24 into the song. Stick your hands in front of the speakers and you'll feel it. You might need decent speakers for this one.
