Okay, cool. How come we cannot do something similar for somebody obviously cheating? The technology and capability is there.

This isn't manually reviewed, its a automated speech to text that will look for bad words, just like their report feature for text is.

Macrojeet has far too much izzat to run support centers to detect cheaters, actually, you are bloddy benchode bastard for even thinking cheater exist on Xbox.
 
I can't log on to my microsoft email. It gives me a 400 error after I correctly type in my password. I already tried logging in with another browser, but the issue persists. Every time I try to log in, there are these pop-ups asking me to give my PIN code or phone number, but I always refuse. My theory is that Microsoft is intentionally triggering this error so that users will have no choice but to use these additional features and give away more information than they should.
Am I prohibited from having a job now because Microsoft wants to gobble up my personal information?

Microsoft terminates VeraCrypt's developer account (direct link). In the HN discussion about VeraCrypt's sourceforge post, Wireguard's developer (direct link) says he's facing the same issue: account suspended out of the blue. Don't say we didn't warn you back in the day about needing permission from a corporation to run code on their (not yours) operating system, all they had to do was wait a decade and some more years for people to become more docile and domesticated. They'll surely be reinstated, but not a good look for the future, and no going back!

A Microsoft VP responded (direct link). Supposedly "user error", they didn't see the emails about account verification being rolled out in late 2025 (direct link): it entails using a monitored work email and uploading government-issued ID.

Those 2 projects are not the only ones, with Windscribe and a couple more affected. There's also a lengthy discussion about people having the same issue on a developer community (direct link). It's possible the mails notifying about this change were never received by the recipients.

"It's not a conspiracy, we just suck"
 
At some point a year ago I was given an external microsoft account for a client at my work. I used said account, finished what needed to be done, customer happy, everyone happy.

Except a few months later the account asked me to redo my login just so the authentication token can be refreshed, that's fine, but until I count do that Outlook would not respond to anything and would give me the generic windows ping sound whenever I'd try to click on anything. The thing is, that window that requested me to go and re-log in isn't even on the program bar, it's one of those super special windows that you cannot alt-tab to and have to very slowly and painfully minimize every other window until it's visible and by God Outlook is already shit enough without this extra layer of shit making it even slower to load and navigate

This happened a couple of more times, so I confirmed if I still needed that account and deleted it from my microsoft account store whatever the hell its called.
The fucking window still shows up and considering that the customer has deactivated the account I now have one more "open this piece of shit program, wait for the error message, close it and reopen it for it to work fine for the rest of the day" task to do in addition to Onenote and VScode and I hate how programs are supposed to be held together with duct tape now and everything shitting itself on a near daily basis is the norm.

0/10 did not ask me to run /sfc scannow
 
On what planet is the simple act of copying a link to your presentation(because everything's on the god damn cloud now by default and you have to go through like 5 clicks in order to save a local copy that you can upload without any kind of gay restriction or 'email me per individual that wishes to access this presentation if only to read it' shit but I digress) such a monumental task that it freezes up my entire windows system and I have to sit here with my thumb up my ass for the next 4 or so minutes while Windows gets its shit together?
God damn I hate the cloud.
