quangobaud<p>Everytime I check my Microsoft Outlook almost always there is a stealth advert from a betting company at the top disguised as an email in the Inbox. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Outlook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Outlook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GamblingAddiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GamblingAddiction</span></a></p>
quangobaud<p>The email reply from Three customer services "Proof" section (first picture), that prompted the first toot in this thread. </p><p>Context: Their reply is basically saying that I should use their AI to resolve the issue which is run by the same company (and so the same staff) that I'm complaining about. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThreeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeUK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GamblingAddiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GamblingAddiction</span></a></p>

quangobaud<p>Meta can delete emails from Yahoo (on top of other base behaviour). </p><p>... and further insincerity in the reply ... <br>"This ticket is now closed.

quangobaud<p>Online Storage </p><p>This particular situation (in the general mess of the larger problem) is very simple, the online storage services were refusing to work, I gave them adequate time to work, they still did not work, I set up a Tencent acoount, the Tencent account refused to work after halfanhour (not at source in China but by connection in UK), I tried to send files from phone to tab, Internet & Bluetooth stopped working for the Lenovo tab, I did some snarky toots, the "Big Company" storage service started working ... That is just over the last three hours! </p><p>The "Big Company" storage service starting working still means nothing because it should have had two years of storage in it, which it did, till Big Company decided I should not complain about the "Intelligence Community" a couple of weeks ago. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpyCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpyCops</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GamblingAddiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GamblingAddiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToryCunts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToryCunts</span></a></p>
