  20. Connected Account Vulnerability The Situation: Back in 2010, you finally made the jump from Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL to Gmail. To make the transition easier, you linked your old legacy account to automatically forward everything into your new Gmail inbox. You haven't logged into that Yahoo account in a decade. The Mechanics: Legacy email platforms like Yahoo and AOL have notoriously outdated, porous spam filters compared to Google's billion-dollar machine learning infrastructure. By using POP3 or IMAP to pull that mail into Gmail, you are essentially bypassing Google's frontline defenses and piping raw, unfiltered internet sewage straight into your pristine Gmail ecosystem. The Fix: It is time to sever the cord. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import. Look under "Check mail from other accounts." Delete the legacy connections. If you absolutely still need access to that ancient Hotmail account for banking resets, log into it directly, aggressively clean it, and set up incredibly strict server-side rules there before allowing it anywhere near your primary hub.

  @ASSEENONAI @Grummz They'll likely end up spinning xbox off. Kind of been saying they should do that since 2015. Just wish I did it on here so I could point to that. Problem with doing it at this point is that it is more about saving face for Microsoft and not about saving Xbox. I do think they should go through with it though. Part of the problem was Satya Nadella, he's the one who pushed for over expensive acquisitions and game pass. A lot of people blame Phil Spencer, but I think he was just a victim of his bosses own incompetence. I don't know where Sara Bond fits in to all of this, but I kind of point to her being a Satya drone that was hand picked for Phil as Xbox was not recovering since the Don Matrick blunders that came before him. A lot of people blame phil for what honestly started with Don Matrick, x360 was already a weakening brand by the time that generation was over and Sony had basically closed the gap that was once a huge lead and huge reputation. Removing Satya and the rest of microsoft would force the company to stand on its own two feet and look at the industry realistically. Cut some of that tainted human resource and get back to making good games. Hard decisions will need to be made and Xbox will need to be profitable again before this can work. We may even see microsoft retool their hardware targets to be more like Nintendo's than Sony's going forward. Leaving Valve and Sony as the only competitors in the high end gaming market. Still forcing sony and valve to address the low end as the plateau is no longer too far out of reach. This would effectively put an end to game pass and many other stupid ideas microsoft has had over the last 25 years. Praise Xbox Live as much as you want, but paying for a walled garden should have died with AOL 35 years. Now we have this stupid situation where we are fighting companies in courts just to keep servers online, paying for a minimal tier for "premium" game servers many of which are peer to peer and not being funded by the subscription. That entire back end is just for user accounts, messages, and voice chat, not even get versions of technology that are fundamentally free at this point. PSN and Nintendo Online would have likely had been still free too day if Microsoft hadn't decided it was more important to have subscriptions. I think at this point Xbox is a stranger to microsoft. Remember when the Xbox brand was formed it was to take over the living room and keep sony from ceasing control. They ultimately lost that fight and many others. I'd say the fight for the living room now belongs to streaming boxes, not game consoles. The threat of the DVD drive no longer exists. There isn't a single Xbox/Microsoft streaming service for any media that I'm aware of on Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, or name another device. There isn't even a microsoft smart tv. These days Microsoft's interests are AI and Cloud. It's anyone's guess if Windows is even still a priority to the company these days, let alone Office. So why does Microsoft even need a gaming division? Direct X was originally intended to get people on windows. Now it's being used on Linux through proton and some devs are starting to look at vulkan to help improve that compatibility. GPU drivers are getting better in the linux space. I think it's time microsoft stepped back from gaming. Keep working direct X. Maybe consider bringing their development tools to other platforms. I know they tried this once a long time ago and Sony and Nintendo told them to **** off, but things change. The entire development suite for both companies is buried in Visual Studio development these days. With support for things like CLANG and cross platform connections. MS thinks making it easier to port between PC and Xbox Helix is going to be some kind of huge win that'll get them exclusives from third parties, I just don't see it. 3rd Party devs have entire core tech departments just specializing in getting around the weakness in dev kits. At best indies may seek you out assuming Epic doesn't just laugh you out of the room as people continue to get their Engine.

  @muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.
