  • 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.







  • There was another guy from Eastern Europe who got a lot of Covid shots. While the lockdown you sometimes needed a vaccination certificate to do some things and there were several anti-vax people who did want such certificates without getting vaccinated. So they either had to find someone willing to take their shot (and a doctor that didn’t do real identity checks) or they had to get a counterfeit certificate. There were some cases, where people got dozens of shots and sold their certificates.
