Hehe - sounds similar to my case. On my PC if I try to log in as the work account, it asks for a code from an authenticator app, but rejects it. Still working on my phone though. Microsoft being Microsoft.
Today I tried to get some files from Teams that I hadn’t used in a year or so.
Error.
Something went wrong [7q6ck]
Works ok on my phone for now though so at least I got past that road block for today.

I think if you consider the cost to manufacture then bury a fibre optic cable for everyone who lives 10km from a town centre, I think it’s still a net positive. It’s not great for sure, but amortised over a huge population it’s probably the best option we have at this time.
As a driver with short sight and glasses, if my glasses fall off I’m not suddenly blind - I just can’t read license places or signs. Traffic lights, other cars etc are still pretty obvious.
I think PieFed gives reputation warning icons for entities it thinks are statistically bad actors.

If it’s on solar / battery, then meh. 10 watts is pretty modest.
Is a hury like a Huey from Short Circuit 1, but with an accent?
I did that already. Can’t read German and the apps don’t translate yet.
A bit of both I think.
As a Facebook group administrator I get to see a fair bit of definite fake stuff. Any time someone posts anything with the word stolen for example, a number of fake accounts will attempt to post with names of people who ‘can help get your things back’.
They recently got a bit more advanced and will sometimes use 'I’m new here" type posts or similar tricks to try to trick the admin into letting them into the group. It’s a public group, hence a juicy target. There’s several tricks an AI can use.
That said, we have a fair share of legit nutters, rednecks, NIMBYs, homophobes etc as well - I just suspect some of the EV and renewable energy hatred for example, on Facebook is manufactured.
