.@turbotax @Intuit 32 days later, I still can't create an account, and you still refuse to acknowledge any issue on your side. Shout out to the exec who decided that TurboTax should require a live login for activation, enjoy your bonus. After 25 years, I'm switching to H&R Block.


Hey @Intuit your account creation has been broken for at least two days. Your support says there are no outages and they can't create an account for me. So now I can't use the locally installed software that I paid for because I can't create an account to activate it.

Oi @RockstarGames come on mate, make me create an online account for a game that doesn't have online content and then don't even accept my email address because you incorrectly think plus signs aren't valid characters? Please go read the RFC.

Hey @azulletech can you confirm that the Byte 4 Elite is fanless? Your web site seems to indicate that indirectly but I can't find specific mention of it for this particular model.


Awesome seeing an Amiga 1000 with all the correct peripherals in @Stranger_Things, but the mouse isn't plugged in! :)

Dear @AIGinsurance, please pass this message to whoever decided it was a good idea to disable pasting into password fields on the new customer portal site: "Stop it. Implement 2FA."


Hey @AskCitizensBank how is it possible that you don't offer 2FA on your site in 2022?

If your email signature includes text like, "Add me to your contacts list to ensure delivery," then maybe the problem isn't that you're absent from my contacts list. Maybe... just maybe... the problem is that your messages look an awful lot like spam.
