Hungry Computer posted:crypto We are getting bombarded with them. Some people are seeing 20+ a day. We use Google Apps and so far every one is ending up in the spam folder with the attachment blocked. I sent out a mass email telling people to NOT open anything in their SPAM folder. I hesitated before I did though, thinking it would actually cause someone to do so. But we also use LibreOffice, so at the very least the macro based ones wouldn't be able to work!

If you keep saving them they will abuse you until one day they gently caress it up so bad and stare blankly as you can't save them from the crypto infection they just got. I hear you, but at the same time, we've all been there, hell, I've gone a little too far in Fallout 4 or Xcom 2 without remembering to save. I mean, I'm imagining if I could just automate a standard "Save" command to trigger across all the office apps every minute or two, then at least the Version History from Sharepoint or OneDrive would take care of the rest and build a huge changelog for everyone. I'm so frazzled because while it might not be my job to save negligent users from themselves, it's definitely Microsoft's job, and they keep screwing the pooch so I'm gonna have to fix it for them. Edit: That Excel crash is ABSOLUTELY affecting 2016, even if people are saying it's not. Mine just crashed 2 seconds ago when I tabbed to it to check autorecover settings, and when it came back up it said it has updates to install.

Zero VGS posted:All of a sudden three people in finance all in different days this week have all had Excel freeze on them, and they've lost a few hours of work. I wonder if this is the same issue we've been having - it's not that Excel freezes, but the screen stops updating; you can actually use all features in Excel (and open new, working XLS files), but anything you had open will just display blank/whatever was visible when the problem started. It's possible to save with Ctrl-S, some parts of the screen still update so you can navigate cells, type in formulas, etc. If you wait something like 15-20 minutes it starts updating the screen again. Anyone seen something like that? e: both 2013 and 2016, so I'm not sure if it's the KB above. Seems to affect a single user mostly, but I've seen it on my computer (I don't use Excel as heavily as the other users).

A request for UPS came in from a client. For some kind of printing machine. 1kW printing machine. Guy who had it before told them that they'll be fine with 650VA UPS, because that's what he was using. Waiting for the inevitable fire.

Eikre posted:well, technically, that computer is probably safe as gently caress from surges. I doubt it. Voltage spike will probably gently caress it up real good. Higher voltages have a way of bridging large resistances. e.g. lightning bolts. Had the same thing happen to a surge protector that a bunch of Christmas lights were plugged into. A single strand of LED lights would work, but not the incandescent kind.

I'm feeling the upgrade itch again ... Currently using an old E2500 (DD-WRT) as a gateway router/firewall behind my Comcast box and I'm really tempted to upgrade to a 5505, but my wallet is saying not to. Pros: would help me study for my CCNA, not limited to ~10 port forwards, likely better performance (current router adds ~50ms to all traffic), built-in VPN Cons: really don't need it, $300 is $300 What do I do, goons?

Yeah ASAs are great devices. Now I'm not so sure about the 5500 series yet, maybe I'm just to unfamiliar with SourceFire but it doesnt seem to integrate that well with the actual ASA yet.

I haven't used them in a few years, so maybe they got better, but they just weren't as good as the competition, IMO. Most places I've seen, even majority Cisco shops, use an ISR router and stick another manufacturer's firewall next to it. Often a Juniper SRX. Also, the 5505 is ancient by now.

I was mainly looking for something with which I could play around in the Cisco IOS and that would handle the VPN side of things. Folks in the Cisco small questions thread suggested one and linked to the $300 eBay seller that seems to just pump out orders. I know the 5505 is old but I don't know enough about their more recent products to make a determination there either.

Sometimes the stupid ASDM is a pain to use, just because I dont know enough to know what needs to be done their as opposed to the command line. And I can't make sense of Ciscos product lines at all, they jump product numbers and lines worse than anybody. The current device I'm working with is a pair of 5508s with the SourceFire module.

It also reminded me of why I didn't like ASAs. Until they released the x series, they couldn't do full UTM. They needed a module for each UTM feature and didn't have enough module slots for everything. So you needed to buy 2 to turn everything on. Also, I remember hot-hot failover not working correctly. Our Cisco team would tell people not to turn UTM and hot-hot failover on at the same time, for whatever reason. No idea if that was ever fixed.
