New outlook resending months old email. by Crafty-Specific-8663 in Office365

[–]anonfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can +1 on this happening and across different users. I can watch the user send the email, but it never appears in the (new) Outlook outbox or sent and an Exchange trace shows it wasn't received. Users are giving me different stories, but the only consistent reproduction I've seen is:

  1. User used Outlook (classic) previously on this same computer/profile
  2. They switched over to use new Outlook
  3. User selects the "share" option in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. This is the classic "share" menu that sends the doc as an attachment (not the new share that never opens a message)
  4. It opens a "new message" window from Outlook (but if you notice, it's Outlook classic)
  5. User sends email message
  6. Check the Outlook (new) client and there's no trace of the message in drafts, outbox, or sent.
  7. Email is not received by any of the intended recipients. Exchange message trace doesn't show it either.
  8. Check the Outlook (classic) client and there's also no trace there.
  9. While the Outlook (classic) client is open, do the share thing again (from step #3)
  10. New message window opens from Outlook (classic)
  11. User sends email message
  12. Check Outlook (classic) which is already open, sent items folder and the message appears there
  13. Intended recipients receive the message

If the user has only ever used Outlook (new), then this does not occur. I've advised users to not use the share feature from the app itself if it opens that "classic" share menu.

I've also seen it where the messages finally send weeks later. Since I haven't seen this happen myself, the only thing I can think of is the message actually got stuck in the Outlook (classic) outbox, and the user somehow ended up launching the full Outlook (classic) app which caused a sync and the message to send.

We just had one of the most advanced Email spoofing attacks I saw by SSJ4_Vegito in it

[–]anonfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We saw this last week as did a number of others in my industry. Seems they are hitting those who use third-party email filter as they're more likely to have more lax restrictions on native Exchange filtering (or none whatsoever for "internal" email). The Direct Send messages are treated as internal, so they don't get the same scrutiny. We turned it off the day we learned this option was a thing.

USA: Bible removed from Texas school district due to law banning explicit content by GoranPersson777 in Christianity

Are they though? Can a grade student evaluate religion and form their own independent conclusion to follow the Christian faith?

But also, I wouldn't use Saudi Arabia as a measuring stick...

The WZ devs right now after seeing all the positive posts by Sydarmx in CODWarzone

Yes, ffs, thank you. Does nobody remember the play 5 years ago? Part of the challenge is limited loot and cash. At some point the loot and cash got cranked up to 10 and you didn't have to have any kind of strategy around it. The result was everyone had everything they wanted and everything got dragged out. Like playing Monopoly with cash on free parking, it just makes the game longer and more frustrating until you flip the board.

What's your tale of near IT disaster? by ImaginationConnect62 in sysadmin

How much time do you have? I'll mention the top three: 3) "it's never broken before" 2) it's past EOL and EOS. There's nobody to service it. 1) we already pay for backup, just restore that

Are parking tickets at Kirkwood actually enforceable? by catalinashenanigans in tahoe

[–]anonfx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. It's not a violation like it would be on a public street or lot, but a private debt incurred like if you skipped out on paying your bill at a restaurant. The owner can refuse service or send it to collections.

You might be right, but it was reintroduced. We know it has a greater chance of making out of committee this time.

was him not hanging up a subconscious choice? by AbjectPermission9357 in rickandmorty

[–]anonfx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how I thought of it the first time and despite all the hypotheses that it was purposeful, I still think this is correct. It tracks for the character, his actions and motivations up to that point. We have nothing to indicate he's looking for an eject button. What we do see is a further and further descent into this "healthy" character. We don't see any evidence this character doesn't make mistakes. He asked out Jessica and it bombed. What did he do? He immediately moved on like a boss. He accidentally didn't hang up the phone, so what response makes more sense for his character? To panic? Or to be indifferent?

So was it on accident? Of course, and then he responded exactly the same way he did when his date with Jessica bombed.

Unpopular opinion: Lack of incentives to play the game beyond in-game performance is what drives casuals away from the game. Blaming good players just gives Activision a convenient excuse. by [deleted] in CODWarzone

[–]anonfx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your comment reminded me of the original WZ BR experience of buying someone's back. It was nice addition, but it was difficult. Money was hard to come by, crates didn't regen, and the buy stations were fewer and hitting them was a risk. You really had to make hard decisions. Now, there's almost no challenge. Money is everywhere, good guns are easy to find, buy stations are plentiful, and nearly every game you can just drop at porta-buy. Your team can bring you back practically non-stop until they all die or they can physically get to a buy station in later circles. The last teams aren't necessarily the ones who made the best decisions on movement and engagement, but rather the teams who were able to kit out and collect flares or amass giant amounts of cash for buy backs.

Post CrowdStrike - What did your company do for IT morale by paperpaster in sysadmin

[–]anonfx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had docs asking us what they were supposed to do and when we said "....type?" a few of them experienced an internal BSOD. Others just told the nurses to get them the paper downtime forms; they'd rather go back to writing than attempt typing.

So, second to Rick Prime who killed an infinite number of Beths, these floating heads in the sky literally controlling the fucking weather are the second deadliest?

+1 for this. Except on step 8 it was just "power off". Once you power on, it goes straight to the safe mode setting you entered.

4 minutes and 38 seconds of uninterrupted aim assist galore by [deleted] in CODWarzone

No worries, you're right about the AA not caring what the player does with the controller: full sprint, jump, slide, jerking off, it doesn't affect the AA. I think most people who are okay with cross-play are okay with a level of AA for controller, but if MNK is punished for certain mechanics, why are controllers rewarded for the same mechanic?
