  • I don’t know I’m not buying this whole thing.

    My company is a Microsoft partner, we deal with all types of issues and requests including account hacking and lockouts. This just doesn’t read like a Microsoft customer support email. It reads more like a scammer actually.

    The first paragraph sounds strange and not how they would typically start an investigation response.

    They can, and have, recovered full access to our customers’ data in such an event, so weird to say they can’t.

    even our engineers cannot retrieve them.

    That just reads very strange. They don’t talk like that.

    Then the final line with “Sincerely,” improperly indented looks like classic scammer text alignment.

    And they wouldn’t sign it as “Microsoft Customer Support”. It would be signed with the agents name and wouldn’t be finite. Their ticketing system places footers that instruct the user to reply to the email for continued support.

    This message looks bogus to me.








  • Yeah, this is definitely funny. But these aren’t the headlines that really get me feeling good. What really gets my going are the headlines that say a judge blocked another selfish, unconstitutional order, or when a MAGA supporter or member of the Republican Party in Congress realizes the greed is out of control and starts to buck back, when an institution or organization decides to push back against the bullshit and say no — I like those headlines the best. (can’t recall if we’ve truly seen that last one actually).

    Because the reality is that Trump isn’t dumb. He’s a lying, cheating, asshole. Has been his whole life, every New Yorker knows that. And what he does know is that if he lies or cheats, and nobody does anything about it, he gets away with it, each time getting easier.
