Horrifying

Yeah, jokes on them. My win10 license lives happily and immutably as a virtual install that I start up every now and then when I need to configure my guitar pedal. Everything else works flawlessly with the penguin, and has so for years now. I sometimes miss having to tinker with my system but it hasn't been necessary for a long time now...

What's their excuse this time, a local account is "less secure" than a Microsoft account?

"We're sorry, You've already requested a password reset today. Please wait 24 hours loser."

Yeah fuck that.
