I often go to outlook 365 to view mail and it logs me out. No reason. I didn't go to the logout url. Just logs me out. Happens almost every day now. Sometimes I get a content corrupted error. I have no idea what that even means and I've been doing web development for over a decade. There are at least two ways to reset your password and they each have different, incompatible password requirements with each other. And finally, I'm asked to change my password constantly and to follow stupid password rules as if my random 32 character string needs rotating. If this is the new Microsoft, it's just like the old Microsoft: absolute fucking shit. Garbage that now spies on us. We switched to MS email from zoho, a system that looks like it was last updated in the 90's and it's an absolute total disaster in comparison. I guess they're too busy rewriting everything badly in Javascript to care about actual, real user and UI issues, however. That's another stupid idea in of itself, but since I'm using a version of Office that no longer even gets security updates, it's irrelevant as I will likely never upgrade. If this is the changed Microsoft, I prefer 90's Microsoft. At least they didn't pretend they were something they were not, nor pretend like they actually care about users or developers, something they clearly don't.
