The Microsoft Situation GOT WORSE! Discord CLOSED! FTC Gets Involved?!

Man, Microsoft just keeps stepping on

that rake over and over and over again

in 2026. So, not only has there been all

kinds of backlash to Copilot and their

updates which are breaking computers,

we're going to talk we're going to talk

about that too cuz now it turns out that

Microsoft 25H2, Windows 1125H2 is

deleting the internet for some people,

right? But uh people are so angry at

Microsoft they're going out to their

Discord. They're calling the micro slop.

It got so bad that they had to shut down

their Discord. Right. So we've got that

on one hand. And then the other hand, uh

according to the libs of Tik Tok, the

FTC is investigating Microsoft for

potential anti-competitive practices

that push a radical woke agenda on

consumers and discriminate against

Christians. And then we've got the whole

situation with Xbox where they pushed

out Phil Spencer and they replaced him

with uh this woman who comes from

Instacart and she was the head of AI and

immediately things are going to [ __ ] So

yeah, you know, you look at the

internet, you look at the history of the

internet and a lot of people think of,

you know, Microsoft and Google and

Facebook as being like the internet for

them, right? And there could come a time

where the internet looks radically

different because remember not too long

ago for a lot of people Yahoo was the

internet, MySpace was the internet,

Prodigy was the internet, AOL was the

internet, right? So things change and I

have to wonder if these companies again

chasing this this AI chuck wagon if they

will not blow themselves up and we will

actually wind up with an internet that

looks pretty different from what we see

today with with different players

different ways to search different

search engines which will probably be AI

powered to some degree right um I would

love to see an internet that feels like

the internet that actually works for you

and doesn't just push you in a certain

direction the internet should be to

connect with people and to be helpful.

And uh what it is right now, the current

version of the internet, whether it's

web 2 or 30 or whatever the [ __ ] version

we're on right now, uh it's its job is

to monetize people as effectively as

possible. And that's not what the

internet was originally designed for.

Yes, you can sell people stuff on the

internet, right? But the internet was

supposed to be helpful. It was supposed

to help you find information. It was to

be entertaining, let you find

interesting things to waste your time

on, videos or, you know, audio clips or,

you know, ridiculous looking websites.

And and that's all gone now. And it's

because of companies like Microsoft and

Google and Facebook that we're seeing

the internet uh, you know, basically

become the worst possible version of

itself. And I would like to see things

go back to where they were, but I I

don't know if we're going to given

everything that's going on right now

with the uh you know, facial ID and the

rec like you're you're going to need a

passport to get onto the [ __ ]

internet pretty soon. I mean, that's

what it feels like. Like you're going to

have to get fingerprinted if you want to

want to go onto the internet. Um so we

need a new internet. I I've been saying

that and people think I'm crazy, but I'm

like no, I think we we I think we need

to just start over. New internet, new

operating system. I want to actually own

my PC. I want to own my operating

system. I want to own my games, own my

media. We need to go back to that.

Anyway, let's talk about Microsoft

because um this isn't going to end well

for them. They they are losing consumer

trust daily with their ridiculous

ridiculous updates to Windows and their

uh anti I believe anti-consumer

practices. I did not know that they had

anti-Christian practices. I'm going have

to look into that a little bit, but the

fact that the FTC is investigating them

is pretty interesting. So, before we get

into it any further, please subscribe

for more pop culture news, views, and

rants. Guys, you've got time yet if you

want to back Geeky Sparkles hard enamel

pin. Go out to Kickstarter. You got

about a day and a half yet. And this is

a micro campaign, so it's not going to

be like a huge campaign. We're basically

just uh getting the money to fund a run

of these pins and sell some of the pins

to you that maybe uh you missed out on

first time around. We're out of a lot of

these. I think we still have some of the

Christmas ones left, but I know the

witches are gone. Uh I think the two

packs are gone, but we may bring them

back at a later date. Also, Crimson

Brand is still open for a little bit yet

if you want to pick up a copy of that.

So, let's take a look at this first and

then we'll get into the other negative

Microsoft news. I love this. I love that

Microsoft is getting its ass kicked. I I

fully recommend that you go out to uh

Linuxmint.com and check that out.

Although, there are some things

happening with Linux now. They're

talking age verification and [ __ ] like

that too, which you know what's gonna

happen is if everybody jumps ship and

they go to another operating system like

Linux from Microsoft, they're going to

put all the same rules and regulations

and [ __ ] and they're going to shitify

that one too, right? Because you can't

escape, you can't have anything good

without uh corporate interest,

government interests, you know, but uh

this come from the libs of Tik Tok

breaking Trump's FTC is investigating

Microsoft for potential anti-competitive

practices that push a radical woke

agenda on consumers and discriminate

against Christians. This investigation

also comes after Microsoft potentially

compromised US security by giving

Chinese nationals access to government

systems via cloud projects. Uhoh.

Uhoh. Microsoft needs to be fully

investigated and have all government

contracts paused. Evergreen micro slop.

Uh Microsoft being investigated at the

same time Bill Gates is being called

into Congress to testify on his

relationship with Russian hookers along

with Epste. Yeah, we did a video on that

too. And uh I know everybody's like,

"Well, Bill Gates hasn't anything to do

with Microsoft in years." No, actually,

he stepped down from the board about the

time that it came out that he was this

was going down and about the time he was

getting divorced. So, all the stuff is

connected. I think Bill Gates would

still be on the Microsoft board today if

it wasn't for this [ __ ] And I can

totally see them trying to uh distance

themselves from Bill Gates as much as

possible. Depends on what comes out,

right? Holy [ __ ] this is going to be

good. Uh they should also look into

Google for anti-competitive practices.

This is my last video before YouTube

banned me. Yeah, I think YouTube um

YouTube and Google, there's definitely

something going on there, right? But uh

we'll see. I mean, so now the

government's looking into Microsoft.

This is a this as a consumer, this is a

bigger concern for me. And we we've been

covering Windows 11, how it effectively

breaks computers at this point. I've got

Windows 10 on I have a a Wackom Pro

Studio. It's a portable uh Wackom tablet

that I use for a lot of my drawing and

there's no way in hell I'm upgrading

that to Windows 11. Like I will I will

freaking run that thing until I I don't

I don't care. It's it's going to be on

Windows 10 in 2045. I'm not I'm not

upgrading to Windows 11 because if it

breaks like I can't it's it's going to

be unusable. Uh Windows 11 is deleting

the internet for some users. And look, I

had some people send me links to this

and I apologize. I've been sick this

week. I I I haven't really been keeping

track of who sent me what. But thank you

very much uh for that. A nasty bug in

the latest 25H2 and 24H2 upgrades is

wiping critical network files, leaving

PCs completely unable to connect via

Ethernet.

Here's what's happening and how to fix

it. So, yeah, so these updates uh this

year, my laptop was subject to it. Uh a

lot of people wrote and said they had

the same problem as soon as they they

released that January update. It broke

graphics drivers for people. Uh people

couldn't shut their computers down. They

couldn't get past a black screen. All

kinds of crazy stuff's been going on. It

just depends on your configuration, I

guess. And then they had to release like

multiple emergency patches. And then it

came out that apparently uh 30% or more

of the code for that update was written

by AI.

So don't do that.

Don't vibe code critical updates. Just

saying. But this is what the company

wants to And this is why I think Satya

Nadella put Ashes Sharma in charge of of

Xbox is they want to do that for gaming

too. They're going to have the games

basically make themselves and then play

themselves and then you're going to pay

for that. That's you know what I'm like

what what kind of a deal is that? Oh

yeah, we're going to make these games

just like play themselves, make

themselves and then you can pay us. You

can pay us for that. You can pay us, you

know, $100 a month for that or whatever.

It's it's stupid. It's stupid. They just

want to print money at this point. Just

just say it. These companies don't want

to offer you anything in return for your

money. They just want to print money,

right? And they're going to try to do it

however they like they want to con you

into paying them service fees. Con you

into monthly subscriptions are hoping

you forget about America Online would

have actually folded sooner. I I

remember the story. They had all these

people that were still paying for

America Online that weren't even using

America Online because they just forgot

to cancel or they died. It just kept

hitting their credit cards, right? Like

nobody was actually on America Online.

would have been like late 90s, early

2000s. And that's how America Online

survived as long as it did. Nobody was

actually using it. They were just still

paying for it. And that's I think what

they're counting on. That's why I think

all these these companies, they want you

to subscribe to Game Pass, subscribe to

this, subscribe to that, and then you

just forget about it. You just keep

paying them. So, so the culprit is the

three service folder. This uh service

manages uh 802.1x

authentication for wired connections.

During the update, they wipe the

folder's contents. What? Your PC can't

authenticate? No authentication, no

internet. This isn't just happening on

the new 25H2 build. Reports show it's

been plugging users since 23H2 and 24H2

releases. Ironically, Microsoft's push

for always on connectivity is being

broken by its own installer. Oh, that's

interesting. Microsoft hasn't officially

listed this on the health dashboard yet,

though some recent patches claim to

address it. If you're playing on

upgrade, bookmark this fix. So, here's

uh here's the article on it. You guys,

if you're having problems with that,

can't get online now because of it. Holy

[ __ ] this is this is ridiculous. Um,

yeah, I said the affected user, this was

uh coming from what? Reddit. They said,

"Yeah, recently annoyed user complained

about how Microsoft has allegedly uh

allegedly forcefully upgraded their

system from Windows 10 to 11 without

their consent." Yeah, this happened to

me on one of our computers. I was like,

I don't want Windows 11. And and they

make it so hard to deny it. Like, I

don't want Windows 11. While moving

forward to Windows 11 at the moment is

important since Windows 10's no longer

being supported, there can be real

problems users face after the upgrade,

as one of them was discovered today. The

affected user recently upgraded their

system to Windows 11 uh 25H2 from 23H2

and claims that their folder got yeated.

Basically,

um if you're wondering why the person

saying is still plugging, the issue is

not new. It's ironically funny

considering Microsoft wants users to be

connected to the internet when they

install Windows 11, but then immediately

afterwards uh they found themselves shut

out of it. Yeah, I screw this, man. I

mean, this is just it's so tiresome. So,

people are getting tired of it just all

the way around. I mean, they're forcing

Copilot on people. They're going to be

flooding, I believe, the the game store

with AI [ __ ] here pretty soon. And

people are taken to their Discord and

they're voicing their displeasure.

Microsoft gets tired of micro slop, bans

the word on Discord, and then locks the

server after backlash. Microsoft's, this

is coming from uh Windows latest.com.

Microsoft's aggressive AI push in

Windows 11 through 2025 brought upon

themselves the title of Microsop.

Unfortunately for the company, it's

everywhere on social media. Windows

latest was the first to notice the word

Microsop was actively filtered in the

official Microsoft Copilot Discord

server. As you can see the above

screenshots, any message containing the

term is automatically blocked. So, they

blocked Microsoft.

This content is blocked from the server

by the mods. Your message contains a

phrase that's inappropriate.

Microsoft blocks Microsoft and official

C-pilot Discord. Users quickly find

workarounds. Uh, so what are they call

This is crazy. Uh, Microsoft locks

C-pilot Discord server after moderation

backlash escalates. What started as a

simple keyword filter quickly snowballed

into users deliberately testing the

restriction posting variations of the

block term. Accounts that include

Microsoft in their messages got uh first

got banned for messaging again not long

after access to parts of server was

restricted. Microsoft brand uh

Microsoft's brand image may already be

an all-time low and even as the company

announced plans to fix Windows 11. Just

skip it and go to 12 at this point.

Software giant can't risk getting more

hatred toward their expensive investment

in Copilot, especially since Microsoft's

head start in AI is starting to be

overshadowed by competitors like

Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and maybe

even Apple in the near future. This is

the problem. The reason they're going

all in on this, they're tripling down on

it. This is who Satya Nadella is. This

is why everything he's doing now is AI

and people [ __ ] hate it. But he keeps

doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on

it. And he will burn the company down.

This guy, if if if he is left unchecked

and he keeps going in the opposite

direction of what consumers want, he

will burn the company down. Just release

a version of Windows that is just

Windows. That's it. That's all you have

to do. Just bare bones Windows. If you

want co-pilot, you want AI [ __ ] you can

get Windows plus or whatever the hell.

That's what I thought they were going to

do. I thought they were going to make it

optional. And no, they they installed it

right out of the right out of the gate.

Um, so they said, yeah, they were a lot

more positive when the server first

launched. Um, Microsoft says Discord

lockdown was response to a spam attack

and the filters were temporary.

[ __ ] They got called out. Microsoft

reached out to Windows latest with an

official statement noting why the

company had to lock the Discord server.

According to a Microsoft spokesperson,

the C-pilot Discord server was recently

targeted by a coordinated spam attack

intended to disrupt conversations.

Probably because you were trying to

silence people. The company says the

activity initially appeared as large

volumes of repetitive or relevant

messages. Microsoft, Microsoft,

Microsoft. It's like Beetlejuice, right?

Uh, and then the co-pilot guy pops up,

prompting moderators to introduce

temporary keyword filters.

Yeah, Microsoft added a blocking term

such as micros slop along with other

phrases and the spam campaign was not

intended as a permanent policy.

[ __ ]

You can't take the heat. Yeah, you can't

take the heat. Um, yeah, Linux for now.

Linux is good for now. I've got

concerns. There's some there's some

things going on now with Linux. thing as

people start to check it out, we're

going to get more more uh interest in it

and the government's going to take more

interest in it and people uh who want to

monetize you are going to take more

interest in it. But for now, I would say

if you can if you can jump from Windows,

do it. It is a sink and ship. I'm going

to wrap it up. Please subscribe. We'll

talk later.
