Nobody wants to make and maintain an account for every place they want to pay something for.
They could have replaced “check” with “cash”. Same idea.

Excuse me, what!?!
I wonder where the average is for the performance reduction. Probably something I’ll look into but I’d be pissed if I bought a drive and instantly lost even 20%.
Luckily, I’m not on Windows so I have nothing to really worry about but damn.
It’s a little different when you’re getting doxxed and your family is getting pulled into it IRL.
And you can spell through as thru as well.
No you can’t. Not in the same way. “Thru” is an informal word, similar to writing “gud 2 c u”.
How about you at least try something that’s not blatantly inequivalent. If I Google “thru”, what can I expect to find? If I run both through a dictionary, what can I expect to find? If I poll the general public on each, which one would be accepted as a proper spelling? What would I have to do to both “thru” and “hiccup” be treated as equals here?
That doesn’t change the original spelling, or the fact that they’re pronounced the same
I said nothing about an original spelling. But if you’re calling it the original spelling, you’re kinda just conceding that “Hiccough” is the original and “hiccup” is the current.
No, we all say hiccup. FFS, googling “hiccough” essentially autocorrects to hiccup. If everyone spells it hiccup and also pronounces it hiccup, literally no one is using “hiccough”.
This is one of those things where formally, sure, there’s a difference, but I’ve never heard anyone use that first term. Everything’s a loanword. And these kinds of things are in many, if not all, languages, from my attempts at learning other languages.
