Not to work, obviously. I have come to work a little earlier. I want to get some things done today.
Productivity killer number 1: Mickeysoft has updates. God help me.
Productivity killer number 2: Updates take their time.
Productivity killer number 3: Visual Studio has disappeared. All links are gone, now let's see what's left in the directories where it was installed...
Mickeysoft, keep your junk and just look for a nice place to die. This circus already has cost me almost an hour which I will certainly not get back from you.

you must have trust in the system, microsoft always knows what you need.... a holiday!
(Or perhaps a new career? somebody has to lean on the shovels at the road works, and sure as sh*t it's not going to be a ms AI bot - that'd be waste of good talent)

Not again! If I had stayed with the first one, I might already look forward to retirement with a Captain's pension in a year or two. The second one did not last very long because I did not really like where it was going and now you want me to forget #3 just because buggy is the new quality at Mickeysoft?

So true. I used XP until 7 was released. I'll continue to use 7 until they stop trying to dumb down OS's and/or making them operate like a phone (10 was a compromise from 8 but compromise isn't what desktop owners want in my experience). If I want to use an elephanting phone, I'll use a phone

Have fun

So I'm currently a contractor who is employed at company A, but works for company B.
I need to login to my Microsoft account at A to fill in my hours, but I need to login to my Microsoft account at B to access their Azure environment.
And because I didn't have a VSTS account at B yet I've been hosting the code I wrote for B on my personal VSTS account C.
But because I also have a project for my own company I do have an Azure login for that customer D.
Logging in to any Microsoft service has become a real PITA.
At least I can still login to GitHub with a single account... Oh wait 
I did get a VSTS account for B today, so hopefully switching between B and C becomes a thing of the past as of tomorrow

Welcome to modern life--A different user name for each site, and they don't have the same criteria for valid passwords, and also make you change your password every so often so that you cannot even maintain the same password for different systems.
|
|

I have this same problem and it is all managed by my C'YaPass app.
You never have to memorize a password again, but you can easily have a separate password for every site. I honestly use it every day numerous times at work. It's so much easier and better.
Please try my program, C'YaPass.
You can get the source code for every platform you can imagine at my GitHub :
GitHub - raddevus/CYaPassWF: Contains C# project for WinForm(WF) (Windows desktop) for CYaPass app[^]
You can get the installer for the WinForm version at: C'YaPass: Forget All Your Passwords | Get C'YaPass[^]
You can try the web version at: C'YaPass : Never type a password again[^]
The WinForm version is far better though because :
1. you can draw your password once (leave the app run)
2. each time you select your key for the site you want
3. it automatically copies your password to the clipboard so you can simply paste it.
Of course, there is much more to this password manager that does not save the passwords anywhere but generates them each time.
The generated passwords are SHA-256 hashes. Virtually as random as you can get.
It Remembers Password Requirements
The cool thing is that it remembers the sites password requirements like:
length
uppercase
special character
Here I made a really fast video (30 seconds) of how easy it is to use.
You'll see the app in action and then see the password pasted into Notepad++.
Also notice you draw one pattern but a different password is gen'd for each site.

Well I guess that it makes it better to listen to that music when you are in your car on the expressway and you have not moved for an hour, but the traffic still does suck.

I listen to Jazz FM[^] when I'm on the road. It has a very calming influence on this old fart.

So then iFauxn will allow the user to track how they use it, for how long, and all sorts of other data. I suppose it might already be something the do for to you, but if not, those who use the new features are giving them a new depth of view into how and when they spend your time.
Also, put limits on usage (presumably on children, marking them as such).
Do you think it will have any marketing value?

Don't you love the deviousness of it. Market the feature as "monitor yourself" but underneath the hood, the real point is for them to monitor YOU. Big Brother is starting to look pretty tame in comparison to the BS going on nowadays.

Getting on past the devious nature, I'm already hearing the clamorous disbelief of the masses that their private information has been stored, bought, and sold.

Yup. Deviousness works best when applied to unlimited ignorance and gullibility.

Exactly...it just goes to show that they have it in place and can use to monitor you.
This has to be switched off.
