I'm not a Windows user anymore, but these days it feels like either Microsoft is fucking shit up every week or the tech media is just out to get them. Possibly a combination of both, to be fair.
- grg0 1y agoI have suffered Windows at work until recently. It's not just media coverage; MS is simultaneously pouring billions into AI and, for some strange reason, also "modernizing" and pushing frequent updates to their office tools, but in a completely botched way. Kind of how they fucked XP with SP3 to make you buy Vista, except that the end game is not even clear this time around.
- fithisux 1y agoI haven't used their office tools since 2002, except a case of a paper some brain...ed colleague forced me to contribute in 2015.
- not_a_bot_4sho 1y agoThis is a case of media out to get them. The premise is: if you lose your local backup recovery keys, and you lose access to the account you used to login and create your recovery keys, you cannot get a recovery key. I dare say this is expected behavior. Any mitigation requires a backdoor. That's not to say MS isn't fucking other shit up though ..
- josephcsible 1y ago> if you lose your local backup recovery keys It sounds to me like with this change, Microsoft is automatically turning on BitLocker without giving the user local backup recovery keys first.
