crw @maybe.fail · 03/10/2026You can try account recovery, but even with access to a parent's account they can still tell you "no, you don't get to recover the account." Sorry kid, you can't play Minecraft with your friends. Microsoft wants you to learn a lesson about password management. 030
crw @maybe.fail · 03/10/2026TIL Microsoft doesn't have a mechanism for parents to reset their children's forgotten passwords. I wish I were amazed, but I'd wager no one involved in creating the Family Safety Center actually has children. 121

When you upgrade to iOS 27, your phone will turn on “Connectivity Assist” in your WiFi network settings and all the ads will pour in. Turn it OFF and your ad blocks will work again. Gotta do it per SSID it looks like. 33824

crw @maybe.fail · 02/09/2026hmm, was happily using carplay in ios26 yesterday with siri completely off. 🤷 and now it's on with as little access as i can give it. hope their adoption metrics are worth the tradeoff in goodwill. 100

crw @maybe.fail · 02/09/2026insult to injury, once you relent and enable siri, there's no way to remove all app access with one toggle. you get to manually hit 3-5 toggles per app you have installed. pretty user-hostile, imo. 110
