I remember not long ago, apparently fake login portal pages were being created and ppl were running into them upon going to the legitimate url to their knowledge(I believe?). And it scared me away from trying to fuck with my Microsoft acc at all.

Problem is I can’t rly put it off for too long, I feel being hacked and losing it is an inevitability in our current day. I doubt I even remember what my pw is and my phone number linked is one I don’t even have access too anymore🫠 soo am thinking I just needa try and update the acc if I can, asap. Safe to do rn?

I need urgent guidance on dealing with Nvidia HR , rejecting my candidature after taking all the rounds including in-person,and taking all the documents(offer , salary) , reason is not disclosing the current employment status . I got impacted from msft in last week of aug .

and how to get back to old color ( grey one ) like the Toolbar

To $0 <- Uncle Sugar would _NEVER_ allow this POS enterprise to sink into the sea... but the agentic era will reveal how a $500 per share stock price can erode to $jack-shit in a quarter if not for the Sugar-Teets of our Uncle Sam...

Leave it to Microsoft to push an update in the background that changes your OS security settings without asking, tells you nothing, and breaks your existing setup.

A recent Edge/Windows update completely broke biometric/PIN passkey logins on all my browser extensions (Rabby, Jupiter, etc.). Every time I entered my PIN in the Windows Hello popup, Windows threw a generic "Something went wrong - There was a problem signing in with your passkey" error, while the browser console spat out `NotAllowedError: The operation either timed out or was not allowed`.

Why? Because Microsoft quietly added Microsoft Password Manager as a system-wide passkey provider inside Windows 11 settings and flipped it ON by default.

Whoever coded this didn't bother testing browser extensions. When an extension (extension:// or chrome-extension://) asks for a passkey signature, Edge hands the request to Windows, and Windows hands it right back to Edge's OS passkey plugin. Because Microsoft's password manager only understands standard https:// websites, it slaps a broken https://chrome-extension prefix onto the extension, gets stuck in a loop with itself, and dies. Every failed attempt also spammed a brand-new duplicate passkey into my account until I had dozens of dead keys sitting there.

I didn't even know this Windows setting existed because Microsoft never showed a single prompt before turning it on. If you don't remember your wallet's master password, this bug makes it look like your local vault is permanently bricked.

How to fix Microsoft's mess:

1. Open Windows Settings (Win + I) -> Accounts -> Passkeys.
2. Click Advanced options
3. Toggle Microsoft Password Manager to OFF

The second I turned that off, Rabby unlocked via PIN on the first try and Jupiter registered a new passkey without issue. Even dumber: the passkeys still save and sync inside Edge's password manager under my Microsoft account anyway, so that OS-level toggle was doing nothing except breaking extensions.

Bill Gates won't be missed. In the lore of American history, he's already relegated a _complete swine_, a total loser.

Where are the cuffs? There was talk about cuffs. Where are they??

Another day, another genius decision by Microsoft:

Point-in-Time Restore (PITR) and System Restore share the same quota, so there’s a good chance you’ve already lost most of your restore points by now.

And PITR is capped at 50 GB (and potentially even less by default: 2% of the drive). Isn’t that genius?
Of course, you can configure System Restore to use more space, but… PITR will reset it to its own value after a while, purging the oldest restore points in the process.
I’m lost for words. I can’t believe they didn’t test this.

Even better: the quota seems to get reset even with PITR turned off. I’m baffled.

Today i tried to use the copy of 2021 that i purchased and have been using for years. But NOPE as of 10-31 i am now forced to give up my perpetual license and use O365./

Jokes on these MFrs cause im using something else.

See headline.

I was attempting to add this contact in the new Outlook app, and every time I clicked the button to add the contact, a failure message popped up. Switched over to the classic Outlook app, and apparently it didn't fail any of the times I tried to add her.

It's unbelievable how garbage the new Outlook app is. This is just one of a myriad of issues I was having today that I would assume would be core and fundamental functionality for an email application - creating folders that would then suddenly disappear, moving emails to those folders that would then suddenly display back in my inbox. Microsoft is investing an amount of money that could probably end world hunger into AI to help increase everyone's productivity, but more and more I'm spending more time just figuring our how/why their core applications are gaslighting me!

Microsoft - sincerely - what the fuck are we doing?
