I don't understand why getting a letter notarized is being treated as some huge ordeal. Pretty much any bank or credit union has a notary on staff. It takes 5 minutes. Many lawyers and accountants are notaries. Many people here probably know someone who is a notary and they don't even realize it.

I write stuff for our internal teams and it's usually for sensitive systems where you can cause a lot of problems if you make a mistake. I will often start the doc by saying "This assumes you know how to use x, y, and z. If not, then you probably shouldn't be doing this." We limit access already, but some of these could be used in a DR scenario by someone who is not super-familiar with the product. I purposefully will not explain certain things because if you can't figure those out, then you shouldn't be doing these steps.

It takes like two minutes to create a tenant. Click Next a bunch, enter a credit card, you're done.

And yes they have different types of accounts and methods of billing. Their customer base is probably in the hundreds of millions. People are going to want options. I don't really see the issue there.

I still miss my Palm Pre. I've sat here since it died and watched Android and iOS slowly adopt the UI that my Pre had 15 years ago. We were swapping between apps with cards and swiping them away a decade before anyone else.

I had multiple friends end up buying the Pre and the non-slidey Pre (I can't remember the name) because they saw what I had thought it was so cool.

Now my LG TV runs WebOS, which I assume is the name with no shared code, but who knows.

The hotel is at least a known quantity. You have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into, the expectations are clear between all parties, and you're having a fairly consistent experience between different hotels. With Airbnb you have no idea who or what you're dealing with.

With a hotel, I don't have to worry about a doorman asking me who I am and then having to lie, per the host's instructions (yes, this happened to me). I probably don't have to worry about the pictures being of an entirely different unit and having an entire day of my vacation ruined trying to find somewhere else to stay (yes, this happened to me). I know exactly where the hotel is before I hand over hundreds of dollars.

Edit: Nevermind, I see that you've already done this.

It might be worth it to pony up for an M365 license or two, send yourself an email, and then open a support ticket inquiring why the email was blocked. I would even avoid mentioning that you are the sender. Just pretend you're a regular customer who receives email from your domain and you're wondering why it was blocked and if there's anything that can be done to stop it from happening.

Didn't Internet Explorer do that? It was just the "Favorites" folder c:\users\username.

As someone who drank heavily for ten years, I can confirm that this person didn't miss out on anything, except feeling like crap all the time, and money that disappears.

Everyone thinks it's malicious. I'm more likely to believe it was a poorly-trained IT person who thought they were in the test environment, or something along those lines.

If you use it through your Prime subscription you can now only listen to their playlists. You can't specify a specific album by a specific artist.

A monopoly just means you control the prices of a particular market. Amazon, in my opinion, absolutely has control of the ebook market. If they lower prices, everyone else has to lower theirs to keep up.

That is literally the "Games" pane you can turn on in the settings. It's just the store for their games. It's not the default Edge experience. You only see that when you purposefully turn it on.

You could just not purchase the internet package?

I found this really interesting. I remember in a previous job, I moved to a lower cost of living city in the same state. My employer told me about about how they were considering lowering my salary because of this. They weren't billing any less for my time. I wasn't any less productive.

I got out of there soon after and found a better place in the new city.

People in Buffalo aren't happy about this, but the Bills are a BIG part of this city's identity. The Bills owner (an oil billionaire, by the way) is threatening take the team to another city if the state doesn't help pay for the stadium.

I think they're more talking about how in Zelda you can break into everyone's house, steal their money and smash all their pots, and they never acknowledge how you've violated them.

There's an argument to be made for quality of life for your employees. As someone who has transitioned from on-prem server management to mainly cloud work, my job happiness has skyrocketed. I haven't set foot in a data center in three years and I do not miss it one bit.

Dealing with hardware failures, hardware vendors, confusing licensing, having to know SKUs, racking new cabinets, swapping hard drives, patching servers - it's all awful work. When you go cloud only, you can be more productive instead of dealing with some of that nonsense work.

Through this effort, millions of dollars in ransom payments have been recovered

I'm curious about who gets this money? I certainly have never heard of a company getting their money back from the feds.

A union offers other protections. Right now, your employer can (I'm assuming) just fire you for whatever they want. If you have a union and a proper contract, then they need justification and the union will back you up.

"I was in denial because to me that was a sign of growing older, you know, needing to wear glasses"

Seriously? I had to start wearing glasses when I was 11.

The secret is to be rich.

When you were making $20k/mo did you not put some aside in an emergency fund? What were you doing with all of that money while you were making it?

In an AD environment, you can push out a centralized list that is easy to update. We've found that IE Mode unfortunately works very well. I wish it didn't work so well because it allows us to keep these IE sites around indefinitely.

I got a cold about two weeks ago and I'm only now almost recovered. I work at a hospital so got a COVID test to be safe, even though I'm fully vaccinated. They ran a respiratory panel as well. They called me with the results and I almost had to change my pants because they informed me I had "Coronavirus OC43.... which is essentially the common cold".

In my state, you can no longer be forced to join a union. At my employer, there are something like 1000 people eligible to join the union. 99% of them are in the union. They often find the people that aren't in the union didn't join simply because they didn't know they could join.

Yes, that's anecdotal, but I've been in two unions at two separate jobs and have literally never met anyone who wishes they weren't in it.

If this is what the workers got without a union, imagine how much better it could be with a union negotiating on their behalf?

He actually addresses this by saying he doesn't care about the previous posts. They'll just have a different format and are a time capsule.

This is unethical, but outsource yourself. Get contractor jobs and then hire cheap overseas workers to do the work and pocket the difference. If you can get a few of these gigs going and can manage your calendar you can probably cut yourself down to 20 hours a week.

Just be better at hiding it than the guy we hired who got busted doing this literally within the first hour of his first day. Don't let your boss take over your computer while your contractor is controlling your computer via WebEx!

My problem is I don't have a dedicated area at home for "work". And even if I did, I'm the one paying for it. My work desk is also my computer desk. So by the end of the day, maybe I want to play a PC game, but the last thing I want to do is spend more time at the desk.

I had a boss who would put one simple instruction at the end of the job posting - "Please send your resume as a PDF". This was for a technician job at an MSP. He would immediately delete any applications that didn't have a PDF attached. If I recall, it was something like 60% of the applications he got that he deleted immediately.
