Sorry. You're not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn't running..

Or local account.

Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can't access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams...

Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

The bar is in hell.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Google is literally anti-privacy so... "better than google" is ... still not necessarily good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, they still collect the same amount of data about you. Apple is just very strict about making sure only Apple gets that data, and not other apps/websites on your device

Still get this on Linux for school and work emails.

Must be nice.

I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn't do shit (at least in my work environment).

I'm a Microsoft engineer with 3 decades of experience.

Please run sfc /scannow. If that doesn't work, please try searching for updates or reinstalling drivers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Haha reinstall drivers is still an official way to fix things??? 3 and a half decades in and sounds like windows still "hold my beer" and self destructs like a plastic chair left in the sun.

reboot is the only solution, followed by full reinstall which is the only solution. Or just use arch btw lol

Ps: I don't use arch but that joke is too easy to pass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

He was joking, because that is the sort of "help" you actually get.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

All that being said, I've definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.

They make a joke about it in The Boys. Which I find so extra funny. Perfect way to sell the character is tech savvy

Microsoft successfully converting a generation to Linux one Log in at a time, I commend Microsoft for having a socialist agenda so secret they don’t even know about it.

That you own media you bought.

Here's a reminder to sign this initiative if you are a citizen of EU and spread the word about it everywhere if you are not!

More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can't use a VPN if it's not a company device, so we'll make it significantly easier and use a VDI.

First, open the client which will require you to log in and MFA via text. Then you select the one and only environment to connect to, which will require a log in. Once you are connected to a pool you can RDP into your workstation or servers, that don't retain usernames no matter how many times you try to save it.

Oh and for security purposes it has a 5 minute lock policy for RDP. And another few minutes for the VDI session so you'll have eto log back in twice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget you have to change your password every 60 days for security, and cannot reuse the last 5 passwords.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

15 characters minimum, with at least one upper case, lower case, number and special character with No more than 2 repeating characters

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting "No", "Never Remember Password", unchecking "Stay Signed in", disabling "Password Manager"

I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don't need automated help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but that won't help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yes it would be exactly the same actually, how would any of the things I described help in that scenario?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My bad I thought you were talking about 2 factor

If anything, remembering your password or persistent sessions are worse for security. You’re better off with mfa, passwordless authentication and using a password manager

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Wait until you find out about password managers.

If the other comments knew the details, the response would be terror not annoyance:

Management types in smaller, growing businesses are shockingly susceptible to the promise of "cleaning things up" by making everything a "Microsoft shop", even when that means transferring data and control to Azure (competitors also try but MSFT almost always wins)

They're happy, they own nothing and they don't even know it

Note: this is largely referring to corporate accounts

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

"remind me later"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

The more times they require a sign in, the more places they can track you across anonymous/ private tabs.

I’ve had a few sites ask me to set up a passkey, only for it to immediately break and fail to log in. For now, I’m giving up in the technology until it matures. They need to move beyond “It’s easy - just click once and you’re all set, nothing to configure” to acknowledging many of us use different browsers and devices by different manufacturers. I don’t want login locked to one device.

never bothered with that as i usually dont spend more than 5 minutes in there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Same for Ubisoft Launcher.

Kroger's stupid fucking app does this every time for their separate pharmacy login from their normal login. I just gave up and always do guest refill. It's a pain in the ass but it actually takes less time.
