It’s honestly funny.
I try to register an alt account from my real IP, and Microsoft blocks me.
But if I buy an Outlook account, I can log in with no issue - and it looks like those accounts were batch-registered through AWS.
Great work indeed. 👏 #Microsoft
BTW, this only cost me 0.01 USD. 💸
It looks like Google can track me in other ways.
Note that I never sign in to my Google account here, and I clear cookies, local storage, etc, every time I exit the browser. I do not use browser extensions like Location Guard.
Do I appear to be in Singapore? I'm not in Singapore right now.
Screenshot 1 was taken when not using incognito mode; Screenshot 2 was taken while using incognito mode.
Getting stuck in an infinite “please try again” loop while creating a Microsoft account.
It surely does a decent job blocking batch registrations too, right?

AI sometimes skips the sources. When I asked the same question to Claude and ChatGPT, Claude mostly omitted sources; GPT provided them more often, but still not every time.
I'm concerned whether AI tools are respecting my work.
