We’re happy that so many of you are already enjoying benefits like a single account for all Minecraft games, two-factor authentication and improved player safety. Starting on 10 March 2022, your Mojang account, which is used to play Minecraft: Java Edition, must be migrated to a Microsoft account to continue playing. Don't worry – everything about your game and how you play will remain the same, including your in-game username, progress, creations and skins. The only change is how you'll log in. Plus, we'll give you a special cape just for migrating!
Be sure to protect your account during migration. Never enter your account details on third-party websites. If you receive an email that asks for your account information, do not respond. Moving your account can only be done through the launcher or on your Minecraft.net account page and only takes a couple of minutes. Mojang will never ask for your account information in any other way. Beware of phishing attempts and keep your account safe! --------------------
I closed my (basically unused after one day) #Minecraft account a long time ago. I'm not going to create a #Microsoft account in order to play a game that I don't play.
I fu**ing hate Microsoft. They have forced every Minecraft player to migrate their account to Microsoft accounts. I did this a few days ago and intended to play today.
My account was *instantly* suspended for violating their ToS. I guess logging into MultiMC and wanting to play is not okay?
There's no way of contacting them and there's no way of recovering my +10 year old Minecraft account.
Please Microsoft, just curl up and die you piece of shit company.
I also looked at #Dell and #Microsoft Surface "2n1" tablet-laptop units. Over $1,000 for the cheapest in-stock models, plus all the pain and suffering that goes with using #Windows.
We talked a lot about #Microsoft's purchase of Activision-Blizzard and other game studios and about price comparisons between #Walmart, #Target, and #Amazon.
If an item is available at all three places, I generally prefer to buy it in person at Target, even if it costs more than either Walmart or Amazon.
> this is caused by Microsoft using a signed int32 variable to store the value of a date, which has a maximum value of 2,147,483,647
This is basically a Y2K / Y2K32 bug. We’ve known such things could happen since the late 1990s, so I’m really surprised that #Microsoft didn’t use a wider datatype (int64 at least).
#Microsoft #Bing censors Tienanmen Square "Tank Man" search results, even outside of PRC (where they are required to censor such results). Naturally, since most of #DuckDuckGo's results come from Bing, #DDG searches are also censored.
This is a good reason for DDG to switch from being Bing results with a little additional from Yandex and Baidu results to either fully independent or at least being more of a metasearch engine.
@vegosf05 My $EMPLOYER uses Microsoft's cloud-based #Microsoft 365 e-mail system with Outlook as the local client. Which means all mail, foldered or not, is stored in their #Azure cloud platform.
Given a choice, I would abandon both #MSOutlook and #MS365. But it is not my call.
If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for.
In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.
