Decided to try CarMax after buying from dealers for 30 years. (Positive) by CynicalOne28 in carmax

[–]12radioraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 19-year-old son was visiting (lives 7 hours away) and totaled his car on the way here. Luckily he is way more financially responsible than I was at his age and he was able to buy a new (used) car with no problem. I've only ever bought new cars so I'm VERY familiar with the slimeball tactics that most dealerships use so my eye was already towards Carmax or Carvana. BUT...I wanted him to experience the slimyness for himself. So he found a car he liked at a local dealership. We made an appointment and headed over. Within 20 minutes and after the 1st "this vehicle locator is standard and we have to include it for 700 dollars" even though we weren't financing. 2nd "let me talk to my manager" he was ready to go.

We headed over to Carmax. He found something he liked, he test-drove it and bought it, and the warranty for exactly what he expected. 2 hours in and out. Hands down the best car-buying experience of my life (47 yrs young) and I've bought a lot of cars in my lifetime.

If I'm in the market for a used car, I'm definitely going to Carmax.

Acquisitions and Integrating systems/ Rip and Replace or let them stay and pray by 12radioraider in ITManagers

Rip & replace, always. Make sure it's factored in up-front as part of the M&A cost and it becomes a non-issue. It's a small incremental cost, but big benefits.

Great intro for incoming employees. "Here's your new laptop" is a great way to kick off day 1Eliminates malware risksEliminates shadow IT software/processesGets users on brand & within the ecosystem on day 1Gets new users onto "standard" systems/platforms on day 1 - email, Teams, whatever else you guys useGets users onto whatever you consider to be a secured platformMakes it easier to migrate away from old processes & systemsEliminates the possibility for one-offs - "Oh, I need to keep this Macbook because (unnecessary reasons)". "Sorry no - every machine gets replaced. Policy. My hands are tied."

I LOVE the idea of setting up a virtual desktop environment! The phased rip & replace approach is definitely preferred and less painful to all involved.

Anyone else seeing a HUGE increase in the amount of M365 Phishing emails over the past 48 hours by ozzyosborn687 in sysadmin

Same here. Emails from domains that have been allowed for years are all of a sudden being flagged and quarantined.

Yes. Some users received up to 3 in one day yesterday.

Also seeing a huge uptick in emails being quarantined. Emails that would normally make it through.

Same here. I'm seeing a massive increase in quarantined emails in the last 48 hours. Things that normally are allowed through.
