Since making the changes to block spam, the spam accounts seem to have gotten SO much worse. We've never gotten so many before.

Heh - yea... I've noticed ... but at least it's not just plumbers and hot water heaters in Texas... Nice to see a little broader spam offering... Though I wish they would just quit. Know it's generally a bot, or what not.. just annoying for all here to collaborate

ready for my weekend, cant remember the last time I posted on this site. But I read it every day.

I don't post every day either,.. it's not here to 'run numbers' it's here as a tool. If you have a question or something to offer great - please post away... but never feel obligated to do so...

But we are glad you are here..

Just had a user, who never once posted anything, come in and after EIGHT years, and ask for their account to be disabled. Which since it is an unused account is pretty easy to do. But, weird. Who makes an account, and then EIGHT years later comes back searching for it, finds it unused and pointless (and remember, anonymous) and wants to go through the effort of deleting it? The weird things that happen on forums.

I saw that, and in my days I have not known you to be concerned with inactive accounts. And generally, there is a direct way to ask for an account removal over a public request... Meh - Not unheard of,.. but generally rare....

Run into a few users here of late that are having trouble getting Outlook to open with the error they don’t have permission to the data file.

Renaming the .OST file and allowing Outlook to regenerate seems to resolve the issue. In some cases you get an error that the AutoCorrect file (C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\office\mso1033.acl could not be saved. The file may be read-only or you may not have permission to modify the file.

Additionally, some files on the desktop (C:\Users\Username\Onedrive -company\desktop) are inaccessible. And if you try to copy them to the users folder (c:\users\username\folder) you get an error where you need to provide administrative permissions to do so.

One user mentioned a recent MS Update last night - has any one else seen this behavior? One suggestion is to rebuild the userprofile - not an easy task on those users remote accessing via the VPN.

Celebrating, if you will, 1 year at the new gig today

Congrats, I just had my 1 year at my job as well.

I'm about to finish month 4, but it feels like I've been at this job for a year.

I’m about month five,.. thanks for that,.. feels good,.. o where near the stress or pressure,.

Having finished a 3D Print earlier today, customizing a .STL file to do a reprint for someone else. Of course I may just doze off here at the desk while doing it.. I need the break..

Drinking my first mango lassi made from our own tree's mangos.

Haven’t had one of those since the first MangoCon

Curious about the Omada ER605v2 router as a replacement to my ERL…

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Two new hires today. One is fully new, one is coming back to us.

Nice
Who’s coming back?

Why would Winget not be available on a brand new device with the most updated build?

All my reading has stated that it is native since 1709..

@jt1001001 said in Unifi cloud controller going the way of home office?:

One bad mark already (well,for me anyways) right off the bat; the software controller requires Java.

Ouch,.. but so does Ubnt controller Iirc.

Deleting Users and their crap posts,..

Love the imagined sound their gummies make as I stomp them off the forum.

@gjacobse I'm dealing with a MFP device that prints but wrong font so everything's all messed on formatting; AND then they also want it to fax; through a Grandstream ATA to a SIP service and that keep failing. Trying to convince them to move to an HTTPS fax service instead

We have several desk MFPs, as well as office MFPs,.. and Zebra's.. whee.. oh the fun. Yea,.. time to move to a fax service - modernize that analog crap.

@jt1001001 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Printers (and their evil offspring FAX) need to die a horrible death

Don’t disagree, but I don’t get that choice… no faxes,.. but plenty of printers. But that’s a shipping environment.

Been a few days but dang near made the local news again- in a bad way. Forklift took out a beam within 30ft of the main six inch gas line… yikes! Glad it missed. No, it wasn’t me.

Shutting down the previous warehouse this week and moving it to the new,.. mad scramble really starts now… getting printers moved and reset. Need printers for shipping.

Gonna be fun. Oh- and still no heat, and it’s in the 30’s and light snow.

Good news, bad news, good news...

Good news, I found the dea mouse that had been stinking out or storeroom
Bad news, it was in the box of HDMI cables
Good news, only one cable that wasn't still in its plastic bag had dead mouse sticky on it

“Seems odd to have a whole box of defective HDMI cables, guess we should throw them out and order new.”

Unintentional post storm walk,… office I was at for training has no power, generator won’t start either… build been down since mid afternoon Friday now.

Walking the warehouse may have found previously unknown roof damage. That’ll add to the Monday stress…

That's always fun.

Uhm yea…
They didn’t know. Flat roof issues. They have 50# bags of sand up to hold the membrane down until they can get more time on it.. it’ll likely go to insurance or the investment group …

Currently watch time pass… one click at a time. Fam is playing board games while I meander around the house not breaking a toe.

Severe weather rolled through today and while heading home took the power. Going on four hours now.

Can at least charge phones and keep things going,.. feel lucky as it could have been worse.. check the house tomorrow.

@PhlipElder said in MS Edge and pop-ups:

@gjacobse Sorry I wasn't clear. At some point the user was looking for something and clicked on a link in the results that then inserted something into Edge that causes the pop-ups.

We've seen it often enough that we've added search training to our Train the Human regimen.

That - I can see.
