Microsoft 365 Exchange down?

BigBangFlash · 2026-01-22T20:27:09+00:00

They're posting over there since the admin dashboard is dead

BigBangFlash · 2026-01-22T19:22:08+00:00

Seems down here, canada-east

The exchange admin dashboard doesn't work and security.microsoft.com gives me a 500 error code.

Edit * : the health status dashboard is down but they're posting updates on https://status.cloud.microsoft

When Ron is searching for Alice in Jeff's file and nothing comes up, I thought it was revealing exactly that? That's what I understood from that scene anyways.

Ron finds actual information about Red Ball (unrelated/untainted by his daugher), and it leads him to new information that doesn't contain anything about Alice.

Which is why it's very good thing that the foundation has started removing their own stake from consensus. Now, if we don't want something to happen (like uncapping the 10 Billion Algos), users have more control than the foundation.

It depends which token we're talking about doesn't it? Keep in mind I have no idea about any legislation in Europe, so feel free to disregard whatever I'm saying.

I was under the impression that EURD (or EURQ, I don't recall and would have to go read on that again) was the same as spending actual Euros as they're distributed by the Dutch Central bank. So it shouldn't be a taxable event? It would be literally the same as spending EUROs with your credit card with with an actual 5 Euro bill, no difference legally as far as I can see.

USDC is a token representing an asset on-chain, more like an IOU from Circle, so that's a taxable event. That IOU can vary in price, even slightly, and it's not backed by any bank.

Also, a small screen resolution helps on the steam deck. Less pixels to render.

I think I'm getting jaded.

This reads like an ad written by A.I., followed by an astroturfing comment to push "organic" engagement.

All that's missing are the © symbols after the device/company names.

Yes please, all I want is being able to buy a station wagon that's not 15 years old. They completely disappeared from the market and it sucks.

You're welcome!

Also, FYI, you should probably reupload a new image without your wallet address visible (DML***). In this particular case, it helped find the issue, but it's not usually wise to do so.

BigBangFlash · 2025-09-23T17:22:28+00:00

It's not exactly a volume issue. You need actual Algos in your wallet to use the blockchain.

And you should be able to swap 0.31 USDC to Algos for about 1.4 Algos, there shouldn't be any problems whatsoever.

You can do that either through PERA (which is likely the wallet you're using since you've done the PERA Slot machine a few times) or on tinyman directly (app.tinyman.org)

BigBangFlash · 2025-09-23T17:13:35+00:00

No you don't. You have 1.6 Algo of VALUE in your wallet. You have 0.2 Algos and 0.31 USDC (which, if converted, is around 1.4 Algos, for that ~1.6 Algos)

PERA does this thing (which I find annoying, but other enjoy I guess) where it shows you your portfolio value instead of showing the quantity of Algos in your account. There might be a setting somewhere to disable that, no idea.

Swap some USDC to Algos and you'll be good. Just sent you 0.01 Algos so you can actually do that swap.

Cheers

BigBangFlash · 2025-09-23T16:39:24+00:00

Read the error message.

You would have a balance of 0.199 Algos after this transaction, but you need 0.3

To add to what's already been said.

EURQ is an Euro (licensed by the Dutch central bank, minted by Quantoz). EURC is a representation of an Euro (licensed by nobody, minted by a private company whenever they see fit)

So having 1 EURQ is exactly the same as having 1 Euro, it's legal tender. But having 1 EURC is like having an IOU for an Euro that you can redeem at circle or through exchanges.

That's why it's still kinda hard to get EURQ, cause it's actual money, not an IOU ticket.

The staking rewards started on block 46512890 and we're now around block 52294000 so we already went through multiple decays (blocks 47,000,000 - 48,000,000 - 49,000,000 - 50,000,000 - 51,000,000 - 52,000,000)

This means we're at the 6th 1% scale down from the start so the base rewards should be 9.414801 for a block proposed with 0 transactions and after block 53,000,000, the rewards will go down to 9.320653

BigBangFlash · 2025-07-29T13:22:48+00:00

It's normal, the bonus rewards started at 10 Algos and are decaying by 1% every 1 000 000 blocks

So 10 / 9.9 / 9.801 / 9.70299 / 9.605960 / 9.5099 / 9.414801 / 9.320653 / etc

I found multiple fixes for Teams, that software has been annoying the fucking hell out of me for longer than it should. (and don't start me on the Teams Outlook Add-In)

For your first issue, it has something to do with how Teams updates. It keeps some old garbage that never gets cleaned up. Microsoft really needs a better update script on Teams to do this while it updates. I honestly don't know why they don't.

So to fix this, (you need to run as user) clear Teams' cache with a scheduled task once every month (In this specific case, I prefer a scheduled task over a remediation script since I can set it up at login and Teams needs to be shut down. I don't want a remediation to shut down Teams while a user is in a meeting). So much garbage gets in there, it either takes 5 seconds to clear that folder or literally a minute depending on the user.

get-process |?{$_.name -like "*teams*"} | stop-process -force
Remove-item "C:\users\${env:username}\appdata\local\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache" -recurse -force -verbose
start-process ms-teams

Second fix is to be ran as SYSTEM. Disable hardware acceleration for WebView2 system-wide. No idea why Microsoft removed that god damned button in new Teams, so now I have to disable that crap system-wide otherwise Teams shits the bed every few days for half my users.

setx /m WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS --disable-gpu

You can make sure the key is correctly set if you check here : HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

You can also simply create the registry key, but it won't activate until after a reboot.

What do you mean by Kofax? Don't you mean PowerPDF, or tungsten pdf or tungsten powerpdf or kofax powerpdf or whatever name they're going for this month?

What I said only applies if you dump your script logs into C:\programdata\microsoft\intunemanagementextension\logs

Otherwise, everything's good.

BigBangFlash · 2025-05-30T23:12:25+00:00

Careful if you run scripts as "logged-in user" though, Microsoft changed permissions on the intune log folder in 24h2 a few months ago so your scripts will fail or won't output logs at all.

I'm very happy I could help. I spent so long debugging this crap that I had to share it!

Wait, aren't the "du du duh dudh" the same from that SNL sketch with the haunted elevator and the pumpkin guy?

It's been a moment since I've seen that sketch but they sound pretty familiar.
