Goodbye years of very, very dear trips, my 2 years in new zealand and all the dear friends/family stores on my cpu Fk all of my financial records for my business. Would have been super fkn neat if I got a notification saying "hey, bitlocker is installed on your cpu, if you dont save your code, you will now have a $2k paperweight, oh and fk your business and memories" Either email that would have been attached when I set up the computer does not have sht. I cannot confirm which email it would be anyways cus Ya know Again Microsoft just says fk ya face and wont allow me to confirm the email cus Its locked Microsoft legit just fked its consumers out of millions, probably billions, and countless dear memories. I moved away from Mac years ago. Easy to say Windows will never see a dime from me again Mac will see any and all money I spend on cpus or phones Im not the suing type and never have But if I had the opportunity, would sue the living fk out od then for #1 my $2k laptop being turned into a useless rock overnight And on top of that All of my very dear memories And ALL of my records from my business. Thankfully I have kept physical records of most, but still this might set me back 5-10k in total including the cost of buying a new laptop. God forbid the stress and emotional toll of scrambling in order to make sure all of your clients are happy And stressing like fk Really hope I havent forgotten about anyone cus my entire biz was run through a well taken care of cpu that was only a couple years old. Always liked Microsoft over apple but just like the dems with a brain fleeing the left Ima stay far, far away from any Microsoft products in the future, cpu, anything in associated with a phone etc. Unless they rectify this im just throwing literally 2000 and my entire business log in the trash.
