Streamer claims Microsoft “deleted” his account because it was hacked (www.dexerto.com)

Microsoft is facing fresh criticism over its handling of user accounts after another customer claimed the company permanently deleted their Microsoft account.

Streamer Joshua Khane shared the situation on X, claiming Microsoft deleted both his account and associated OneDrive storage even after confirming he was the account’s owner and that it had been compromised.

In the post, he wrote: “Microsoft deleted my account and OneDrive!!?? After acknowledging that I’m the owner of the account and that it was compromised? 25 f****** years of data, thousands of euros spent on games?? My son’s baby pictures? gone.”

He continued: “All because Microsoft couldn’t bring back a compromised account?? One of the biggest companies ever couldn’t do that, so they just deleted that s*** like it was nothing?? F****** shame on you!!”

I believe that was the advice in the early SSD days, and likely still applies for high write commercial environments.

However, modem SSDs are fine when used in a typical home lab set up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding.

Nah, still shouldn’t use them for anything other than backups that you need to access frequently, and that’s only cause their speeds make that better. SSDs don’t like sitting around not being used, and can just drop dead at any time, whereas HDDs generally will show signs of failure long before they actually die.
