Is it just me, or is the built-in anti-spam filter of Office 365 loving terrible? I'm working a ticket from the new CIO about a shitload of spam he's getting since on-boarding, and some of the email that has reached him is downright shocking. How the gently caress is Defender for O365 not identifying these as spam?!

Brand new printer fuckery today. Our leased Canon MFP suddenly can't scan to email. Call the company, they registered a Gmail account and pass the traffic through there, which no longer works. I tell the tech I'm going to route it through my O365, no problem. He happily gives me the login credentials, and I'm off. Except it doesn't work. Same config as on the rest of my Canons. Turns out this model defaults to 465 for SMTP instead of 25. And changing it can't be done through the GUl, only on the printer itself via a very specific set of key presses to get into a debug menu. Which is only documented by random people on the internet who found it one time. Works now though.

Our filters in 365 atp have been called excessively strong since they get about 3-10% of their daily mail stuck there rather than inbox. If you don't have at least e3, your filter ain't going to stop poo poo.

My FIL did a lot of thinkering with computers in the 80's and even did some programming to print color charts for his nursing job. He's also pretty good at photograph and video editing. And reads computer magazines. So, ofc he's an expert and totally qualified to argue with me over corporate IT. One time, when I didn't just fold like the rest of the family, he started calling me "Mister Big IT". For my wife's sake, I try to stay civil. This is the same guy that was very surprised when I told him most companies run Windows servers environments and not mainframes.

My spam in my newer Fastmail alias is confusing, because I got shortname@sent.at along with my first@last.me custom domain. All of the spam sent to my shortname@sent.at address is all German / Austrian spam, which makes sense now that I think about it.

I'm not sure how you all have been able to poison Gmail's spam filtering, but I have zero spam reaching my inbox and the spam tag itself only sees about 5 messages a week. As for dads, mine is reasonably technical, but he was convinced that the continent to continent internet access was done via satellite rather than undersea cable at one point. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jun 15, 2022 |

I'll bet pop culture depictions of telecommunications has a lot to do with it. Movies and TV depict satellites a lot, and never depict undersea (or even underground) cables, cause those aren't nearly as impressive as poo poo In Space.

For some reason the default Office 365 setting was that any user could add any app to their account, and grant it the same permissions as their user account, so people would receive emails that say "click here to see your documents" and end up getting a prompt to let a fake app access their account, which they would then accept. The defaults are saner now and you can turn the feature off completely and require admin approval to add apps that can view corporate data.

I have the same policy. If you are family, you can ask me for advice. If you do not take my advice, that is your prerogative and I will not be upset about it, but then I don't want to hear it when you have problems resulting from your choice to ignore my advice.

My 14 year old daughter, collecting art for a collage on her wall, is pasting these images into a word document. Of course the document balloons to gigantic proportions and is taking forever to print. It’s taking so long that she’s cancelling the job and retrying it. Over and over and getting more frustrated (it doesn’t help that it’s past midnight- yay summer break!). I finally ask her if I could help as she’s bitching and bitching about the printer and refuses help. So I go full daddy mode and say “if you don’t let me explain to you what is going on and why the printer is behaving (properly) like it is, you do not get to complain about printers to me ever again. For the rest of your life.” So she sits down and I explain how pasting fifty pictures into Word and printing it is different than printing fifty pictures and how a printer needs time to render huge files. And sure enough it prints her images. If I could threaten users with being banned from my help for all eternity unless they listen to me- the world (my world) would be a better place.

Lean saves you a ton of money, with the assumption that anything and everything you could need or want has a predictable lead time, well understood demand, and remains generally available at all times from multiple vendors. Unfortunately covid roofied the drink of a ton of lean companies, then did terrible things to their bottom line back behind the dumpster.

One our clients switched from another ISP to AT&T so they could 'save money' by bundling the phone with fiber. Their internet is now much worse and they are miffed that I did not let them know it would happen despite me not knowing about it until two days before turn up.

I know this is probably one of those borderline things on this site, something that obviously depends on the subforum, but I hope we can leave the rape jokes behind us in the year 2022. Not coming from the standpoint of a stern mod finger wagging. More like, "wouldn't it be cool if."

You'd think the Windows built in print thing would just let me drag it around the page and resize with my mouse.

Been looking around for Server 2022 licenses over the past few days. As the directors refuse to move anything to the cloud, we are looking at quite a hefty bill for all our high-availability VMs and user CALs. Got an email this morning telling me not to worry, they managed to get everything for a fraction of the price I was getting quoted. Obviously I did worry, and requested an exact copy of the invoice to see what exactly they bought - expecting them to only have a fraction of the required cores. Nope, they had been sold a bunch of OEM keys.
