Bought a new monitor, from basic 1080p@60hz to 1440p@165hz Gsync compatible, also its IPS.
Dear god, feels like a new world opened, cyberpunk feels like twice as beautiful that in 1080p, and Gsync also feels amazing, i tend to take the tears over the lag and shit frames but not anymore.

Just got delivered my keychron K8 pro with brown switches retiring my 12 year old MS sidewinder X4 also first mech keyboard, already loving the switch out of rubber domes but damn the sidewinder was like low profile in comparison, and i feel like i'm raising my hands a lot, definitely also buying a wrist rest for it.

All I can say is ..... Welcome to the current PC building world.
Wait until you see the price of motherboards that have nifty QoL features like accessible PCIE lock/unlock button, M.2 clip instead of tiny little
bastardscrew, Debug code display, bios flashback button.
Oh wait, that last one actually became common now. But yeah I doubt it came cheap.

Add another one to the list of Windows and Microsoft idiosyncrasies that just fucks up the user.
This case is about one of Windows most annoying features, forcing the use of a MS account. Well i was one of those that decide to play ball with Microsoft requirement and use my MS account on my install and up to today i did not have problems. (This is without taking into account all the privacy stuff, with MS i just don't care cause I've been using a bunch of their services well before they forced this on Windows, i know is not an excuse but like i said at this point i don't care)
That is until today cause i found out about tailscale, so I'm setting up a tailscape network between my pc and laptop for when i might need to use my PC when I'm out, that went fine, but then i try a to start a RDP session from my laptop to my desktop and i can't cause it doesn't accept my password, look it up and its because i have windows hello pin set up, i then go on my way to disable and i can't, it doesn't let me, its grayed out, once again i look up what's wrong and i found a fix, i do the fix which involves messing with some folder permissions, and this gets me worried cause the times i touch files that Microsoft in their infinite wisdoms blocks even for local admin users, shits gonna go bad, (BTW this guide is on Microsoft answer site to add even more salt to the injury), you'll understand if you ever messed up with UWP apps or very early gamepass games.
Anyways i do that, seems that the changes where applied, and now i go to settings and windows hello pin is disabled, nice, all i have to do is log out and login to make sure i don't need the pin anymore, well, here's where shit hits the fan, i go to log in, instead of asking for my password, it goes for my authenticator login, which i did not know it also applied to windows login, now what happens is if i don't do it fast enough, IT FUCKING CRASHES THE LOGIN PROCESS, WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! and it wants to setup a pin every fucking time i log in, and it gets better cause sometime if it doesn't crash, IT DOESN'T LOG YOU IN, FFS.
So login in to my desktop is completely fucked cause i wanted to disable windows hello pin to use RDP and because i do my due diligence with my accounts and use 2FA and authenticators the fucking login system is fucked, FFS might as well sit on the largest fucking dildo Microsoft has around.
Now after writing this and venting I'm gonna get me a shower and dinner, spend the rest of the night moving and backing up stuff so tomorrow when i get home, nuke my install and reinstall everything to fix this fuck up, which is going to take me most of tomorrow.
Even if you do things how Microsoft wants you to do, you still get the shaft, and all of this cause i wanted remote desktop working FFS.

F
but seriously windows has always been a broken pile of trash
Up until this i was kinda forgiving cause i understand how fucking hard maintaining a operative system is, never mind freaking Windows, but this is just unforgivable cause integrating an MS account down to the way it is now is just bullshit.
