So CNBC wants to pretend the account is unverified? The person is quoting the Art Director over at Obsidian making a game called Avowed, published by Xbox games.

The use of “unverified” only apply to statements made by someone on the right.

>> “crusty old white dudes.”

I’ll bet that the average “crusty old white dude” at TinyAndFlaccid... er, sorry, Microsoft, in their estimation is, like, 40 years old.

You’ve got to be kidding. Turn that camera onto me! I’ll show you “crusty old white dude”!!!

It does explain the severe drop in quality of Microsoft products. Not that they always had the best track record. But I have been surprised of late how much lower that bar could go.

There is a mass denial out there about just how woke Microsoft really is.

I wonder if Musk has figured out yet that putting people in a job based on the color of their shin always had to goal to push out people with white colored skin.

I am a dinosaur, sir or madam.

I have never played a game on any device.

And I would never touch anything that would arouse Microsoft, since I feel their stalking efforts are real.

I have a problem with a Satya Nadella being in my world.

Well the technical name was XBill but everyone called it kill bill, i believe the package was named that on the version of Linux I used at that time. Mandrake or Slackware. But anyway the premise was you Were a network administrator and you have to stop a bespectacled hacker trying to install a virus called “wingdows”. As the levels progress it quickly becomes apparent the virus will win.

“Musk also criticised the Microsoft CEO over the setup process for new Windows PCs, urging him to allow users the option to skip the creation of a Microsoft account.”

That one really chaps my ass. Ditto for having to set up a Gmail account to have an Android phone.

Hate hate hate
