I mean, they’ve sent me a total of 10 e-mails about it in the past 15-30 minutes or so, so obviously Air Force One was on fire.
Basically, I’ve been using computers since I was 3, back when it was all type-based. When I turned 12, I got my first e-mail account with Microsoft. I had to lie about my age, everyone did. Over the next 2 decades I used a feature almost nobody bothers to try, FOLDERS. And I used LOTS of folders. It proves I’m not doing anything in the wrong, ya know?
What I’m mad about, everything in my digital life, my project files, my art, my pictures, my music, I had just bought this Microsoft 365 annual family pass that gave us an extra 6 TB of storage so I transferred everything, like a dumbass, thinking “well it’s Microsoft, I’ve always trusted them”. Nope.
Probably, one of their newbie programmers fresh out of college made this “digital safety threat” algorithm, and probably should have had a senior employee watching him more. Because they can’t even give me a reason why in these e-mails that I’m being circumvented.
I’m telling you, it’s not just me!
