This is not my pic because I forgot to screenshot it when I did it. Microsoft has the hardest captcha I have ever had to complete. This one looks easier but I had a similar one that on my phone the images were too small, not recognizable and were more abstract looking shapes. It was so hard, I failed like 8 times (there were several ‘rounds’) and it almost made me second guess whether I might actually be a robot lol. Luckily, there was an audio version where you have to pick from a number of melody recordings and choose the one that was a pattern. Anyone else have trouble with this?
Ah, that makes perfect sense. Also, with all those ms accounts tied to your IP, I can’t blame them for the verification lol
I do it for all free services. Like AI where you have daily limits. I thought about VPN but I don’t have the cost. It seems the only trusted free tier VPN is Proton bc they have a paid plan. I read good reviews and it didn’t seem to slow down anything noticeably.
I didn’t mean to sound like I disapproved at all. I’m all for what you’re doing haha I’ve use proton’s free tier. They’re fine. I just don’t really trust any vpn company that’s based in the USA, due to their (completely understandable) requirement to keep USA data collection laws.
Proton is Swiss I believe.
I do love being wrong! I’ll give them another look, then
