What does “blow into a toiletpaper roll, filled with dryersheets” mean and do? Is this some kind of air filter to reduce the smell of weed?

Recently installed office 2000 via bottles/wine on linux. The installation was so quick that i thought it crashed.

I read the article but am not smarter than before. I heard some time ago that windows does encrypt the drive but you need an active online account and the key will be saved online. So do people forget their online passwords and methods to recover that said account? I dont like m$ and am using linux, but people loosing their passwords, being uninformed about their systems and dont so backups is not the direct fault of the operating system.
