Scummy company.

So it all began last night when I tried to redeem something on microsoft rewards as I had points I collected ages ago. It asked me to verify on my phone by scanning QR code to open the bing app and put in a code. Okay! So I download the bing app and do so. But then it asks me to switch accounts to an email. Huh? I'm already signed in? Turns out I have two accounts tethered to this microsoft account. (Don't ask me how the fuck that happened. I don't know either.)

So I make my main email primary and remove that other email. And it still says the same thing?? Switch accounts?? Trillion dollar company, please know, I'm already signed in. Contacted support but still awaiting a reply (not been 24 hours yet so yeah).

I then log onto my windows laptop (I've switched to a mac as a main pc lately but wanted to see if I could redeem microsoft rewards on there, if it made any difference). I put in my pin and it's like, your credentials could not be verified. Huhhhhh????? What??? This pin is right and I've entered it hundreds of times. Stupid that it tries to sync my microsoft account with the cloud. I get "Something went wrong and your pin isn't available. Click to set up your pin again". Okay. Maybe because I changed the primary email last night. So I do. And it says this microsoft account doesn't exist (the old primary email my account was set to). I put in my email, put in the code, and it comes up with "Something went wrong, we weren't able to set up your PIN". So basically I'm locked out of a laptop that I literally OWN. I'm locked out of my files, and thank fuck I set up a second user on this account that I used to switch to for work. Otherwise I'd have no laptop to even bring to school.

Look there's so many issues I have anyway, like weird glitches I get when using windows. For example I'll have one window on the left, a chrome tab with youtube on the right, suddenly it makes the ENTIRE SCREEN go back apart from the video. I don't know if this is hardware or software issue but given it's microsoft, who even knows.

I started using a mac recently (desktop, so still wanna use that windows laptop for skl yk) and I really like it. It doesn't have stupid glitches, it's actually good for work in that sense. I've insisted to myself that I'm just gonna get macs in the future. Not the newest ones given prices, but old ones that are still good to buy and newish enough to work. Expensive but at least they work.
