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] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 1 day ago

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

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

You can get stuck in a loop if you have multiple accounts such as a dev and production account.

So if you're in stuck in the dev account and need to log into production you get stuck in a loop of it trying to login as the dev account.

The only way out is to find a dev site and log out from the dev account.

My brother in Christ, scope your sessions... Firefox has containers, chrome has profiles, or hell, just use two different browsers.

Sadly I cannot make every user of our software do that when MSAL/Entra is the chosen IAM provider :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I go to portal.azure.com and use the account switcher to sign in to second (prod) account there. This will make both accounts show up when logging in to a service without having to log out from the first.

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...

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.

Everybody cares about my privacy. It would be achshually great if anybody respected it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

The bar is in hell.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Are you saying Google shares the data they collect? No way, my data is too valuable to be sold. their whole business model is selling services (ads) powered by my data!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

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

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

That you own media you bought.

After that, "I have read and agree with the terms and conditions".

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!

Death by 1000 sign-in screens.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (9 children)

I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:

  • Don't reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
  • Don't log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
  • Don't clear my cookies

The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y'all never save cookies.

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.

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.

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
