    I unironically just use online tools to do anything technical when I'm troubleshooting a Windows machine. Type "base64 online" into a search engine and just pick whatever looks least scummy.

      Out of curiosity I looked up how to base64 encode something with Powershell and it's literally this bullshit:

      PS> [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes('text_to_encode'))

      That also requires .NET to be installed to work.

      What the absolute shit Microsoft, would you like your users to ever actually get anything done or not?
