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?

So, it’s a little known fact that captchas and such like no longer test to see if you can solve something, because the bots have evolved to pass those kinds of tests.
They also tried to set them up to succeed where humans failed, but then bots evolved to pass those, too.
So now they look at how you fail or pass, or how you keep trying. Basically, they’re checking if you’re human by seeing how you respond to frustration.
I fucking hate captchas with a passion. They make me violent. Captchas should be illegal for the sake of my mental health. As a VPN user I see them 10x more than the average person.
Honestly captchas and the enshittification of the internet has completely driven me away from tech. Its become so user hostile that it simply is no longer worth the effort. There have been times where just to access a page I have to do five rounds of captchas.
Yeah I feel that. I spend lots of time on my computer offline. I got games, music, movies, even some books. I’m pretty much set. Part of me does want to run away and live in the woods though.
Yeah, also, where did all the fun stuff go? Now it’s just rage bait AI generated “articles” that pushes the dopamine button.
Where are 3D printer projects, robots, science, the arts, longevity science, DIY, and so on?
Mustn’t we build a new internet without the idea that you should earn a living from whatever you do there?
I’ve been staring at this thing for like 30 seconds, and I have zero clue what it’s asking you to do.
There is simple arrows at the bottom which changes availiable images. They just change orbits on different images and when it’s in correct orbit click submit
Rapidly getting into the “overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists” levels of captcha
Hey man, I don’t like Chicago either, but to say that their football players are all dumb? I’m sure they’re reasonably smart…
I just feel jipped bc my version of the orbits and numbers were all jumbles so you couldn’t tell which orbit pertained to which number.
Is this c/anarchychess ?
Someone shared with me having to calculate the resistance of a resistor once. I sent them the color band chart to figure it out lol
I think we’re way past the need for an “if you can’t auto detect bots then that’s a you problem, dog” legislation. I guess you could be boring and call it anti-hostile experience regulation or whatever. but this shit needs to die like most Google projects.
Unplug the network cable and reboot. When it asks about an account there should be an option to join a domain. Select that and you can make a local account. *
*Ms changes this a bit so it may be inaccurate
This was for an online service. I don’t want it to be restricted to one device. I was creating multiple accounts so I could have multiple free trials of things not affiliated with MS but had an option to use an MS account to log in.
I recently set up a new GitHub account and it had the same crap. And you have to get 3 in a row correct. I got so frustrated and I was cursing enough that my wife came into my office to make sure I was okay.
They should just make a captcha that asks how many 'r’s in ‘strawberry’.
I can’t make a github account for that reason, smh.
