Windows doesn't have sudo (not yet, at least) and privileges work a bit different as even as an administrator, you may not have full rights.

To overcome that obstacle, you'd need to run a shell as an administrator (hold CTRL+Shift, then use the start menu entry or right-click it and select run as administrator).

Next obstacle: We have a separate drive for each partition, but no root folder.

If we assume we're running on a laptop or PC with a single drive and a single partition*, then it's just

In cmd.exe:

del /F /S C:\

In Powershell:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path C:\

When you want to delete all (mounted) partitions/drives, you need to iterate over them. (Note that's from the top of my head, didn't check the script if it works).

In cmd.exe:

REM Not gonna do that, I'm no masochist

In Powershell:

Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem | Foreach-Object {
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path "$($_.Name):\"
}

Done. Mounting additional partitions before that is left as an exercise for the reader.

*note that even a standard installation of windows creates 3 partitions. One for the bootloader, one for the recovery system and then the system drive. Only the latter is mounted and will be deleted by this. The other two will still be intact.

In theory there are unbeatable levels. With some updates Nintendo fixed glitches, hit boxes, etc. Usually, when you play a level that was uploaded on an older version of the game, you get the old behavior. But there was one update, which did not adhere to this, and which did cause some levels (designed with now fixed glitches) to be unbeatable now.

But this project isn't about beating all levels, it's about beating all uncleared levels. Since those glitch levels probably were beaten before the patch OR you might be able to play them on an older version of the game (if the server allows it), these shouldn't be a huge problem.

That's done in config.sys, not autoexec autoexec.bat IIRC

Also anyone remember that joke?

And don't forget to set the jumpers correctly!

The EU at least tries to regulate AI with the AI Act

It's not a catch all, but some things are banned from using AI and others will need an assessment before going live. Some other will not need an assessment, but serious incidents need to be reported

...but it's got electrolytes!

Uhmmm based on my behavior before I left, the engagement is probably "click the three dots, hit report, select spam and block user". That worked at least for a short while before they got rid of that feature...

Relevant xkcd

Not quite. If they had overlooked a few accounts, they'd probably not even implemented that function. They'd just said "well, if you forget your password - or need to change it - you need to use the forgot password workflow that sends an email. Everyone without an email Adresse associated with their account would be SOL.

Since they implemented it, they are aware of such accounts. But since "providing freely any email address for a password reset" makes absolutely no sense, this should only work for this special case - accounts without an associated email address.

Whether it's only done for unlocking accounts, whether this would have also worked when clicking on "Forgot Password" or whether this account lock and unlocking workflow might even be intentional to associate an email address to such accounts, is unknown (to me)

I think newer accounts can only be created, when providing an email address. There may be some old accounts that don't have an email address associated. So, in most cases, you'd just be able to restore the account if you have access to both the account password and the email address. This breaks apart, if there's no email address associated so I think they provided this way of recovery although it doesn't improve security since it only applies to very few accounts?
