Now that we have 4k HDR displays, tools are starting to popup to accurately emulate the CRT look and feel. 1080p wasn’t enough to catch all the subtle details, but we are finally there. Kinda cool to see the age of CRT never fully died.

M365 is doing away with all legacy authentication, do not be surprised if IMAP is completely unusable in the next 12 months. If you simply want to keep a copy of everything, a store and forward SMTP proxy would probably be the solution, so all email going to your domain would hit that first, then send off to M365.

At that size they are certainly targeting enterprise and cloud servers. Cool that they are getting that big, but they probably cost as much as a house.

I don’t mind auto saving in places that keep versioning. But by default for LibreOffice does sound as dangerous as not having it.

Highway signage was critical. If you were traveling, you could tell which states sucked by them not having any signs pointing you back to the highway.

Timers and feed back are useful as well, but you don’t need an app for that, just a simple circuit and a beeper, and maybe some sort of an accelerometer.

I seem to remember one in the first RDR. It is slow and bumpy, but was a sign that the west was dying and the world was getting smaller. I never played RDR2, but my understanding was that it was a prequel, so it wouldn’t make much sense to out a car in it.

Plausable sounding trash, specifically. More plausable than what extremely low paid humans can put out.

True, Lexus is a Toyota brand, and at least historically shared a lot of parts with Toyota cars, so maintenance wasn’t always crazy. In the case of Audi, they might be quite reliable, but I know repairs/maintenance, when needed, is very expensive.

The trick is, luxury cars drop in value insanely fast. A 2 year old Audi is often about the same price as a new Honda. The problem these people don’t account for is maintenance costs. They think they are getting a deal, then they are getting dragged down by an unreliable vehicle that they can’t afford to fix.

For a new car? $25k is a pretty low price, at least in the US. My car was $24k new 10 years ago. It wasn’t particularly special then.

That is specifically not true of Apple. They don’t make drivers for Linux, and often change components which means there are several Apple devices that are really hard to run Linux on. The touchbar MacBooks are a nightmare for Linux, and the ARM Macs are slowly getting support, but it is sub par last I looked.

There is a place for using LLMs to fluff up text or help with translation, but you shouldn’t by copy/pasting blindly, or just scripting it out 100%.

The true failure here is Amazon, who takes no responsibility for what they sell. They let anyone anyone create a product listing with no oversight.

They do have an Asset Library currently, but it is all free, thus not a store.

Thanks, that helps. I shared this with the mspgeek.org community to see if anyone else is seeing it.

Do yours have an onmicrosoft.com account CC’d? Both cases we have seen have had a different onmicrosoft.com account CC’d.

Where seeing it as well. I’m unsure what the scam is. The ticket systems we saw don’t have any obvious connection to our industry. It is a lot of noise, but it wasn’t like a coverup spam, because it hit multiple users in the org at once. Really a strange thing.

I’ve spent most of my life thinking I wasn’t good enough to be a Google engineer, but as I got older, I realized that they aren’t smarter, they just had a better resume. I don’t doubt that some of them are way smarter than me, but most of them are just smart, or at least domain smart.

My complaint is that this joke doesn’t change when you capture 100 of them.

I have a laser etcher. Through trial and error, I got it to produce black and white images on wood. So it’s now a laser photo printer. Just change one axis to move the material instead of the head and you have an open laser printer.
