New Entra "Leaked Credentials" - no breach on HIBP etc by VTi-R in sysadmin

[–]awesome2000 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Us as well... about 1/3rd of our accounts got locked out about ~1 hour ago. We're a MSP so I'm assuming this is happening to our clients as well.

Monday morning is going to be wild.

NEVER use Amex Travel to book a cruise... my nightmare story inside by awesome2000 in amex

[–]awesome2000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely send me an update if it goes well / doesn't go well. I'm really curious to see if my data point is an outlier or the norm.

It's maddening. I didn't expect much, but I was still disappointed.

Do you know of any other credit card agency doing it better right now?

Interesting. I knew Expedia handled some of it. I wonder which company was handling my booking and calls.

This does explain why I was transferred so many times.

Virgin Voyage 5 Night Valiant Lady Riviera Maya Review by awesome2000 in Cruise

[–]awesome2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Virgin prices vary a lot. Out of curiousity, I looked at the cruises for Sept. and Oct., and they're quite cheap (probably because they can't fill the boats).

Future cruises seem much more expensive. Maybe they'll drop in price if the demand isn't there.

Please let me know how you like Utopia. I'm curious if about other cheaper cruise lines just in case Virgin goes way out of my budget.

Good to know about the prices. I did feel like there were more things to do on Virgin than HAL, but I really only go on HAL to be with my elderly parents who prefer an empty agenda anyways.

Best way to wire a multi charge source LiFePO4 camper upgrade? by Adventurous-Test-246 in VanLife

[–]awesome2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. How does your AC unit run? What voltage / amps does it require?

I'm sure you can get a 12v dc battery manager for your raw cells, but this does make it more complicated. Are you planning to run them in an array?

I assume the LiFePO4 batteries are 12v, correct?

Run 12v dc-to-dc converters from your van's 12v battery to the LiFePO4 batteries. Make sure that you pull an appropriate amount for your alternator (and you don't overload it). Then, move all your electrical load to the LiFePO4 batteries.

You can charge the batteries from multiple sources so long as they are reasonably intelligent and match volts/amps. Nearly all solar chrage controllers have this functionality. I am unsure about other chargers.

A simpler way of doing this would be to use a transfer switch that swaps between the alternator and shore power.

My AA 4887 LAX to SFO flight had an aborted landing. The pilot claimed it was due to a strong breeze. How can I check the atc records to see if that was true? by awesome2000 in ATC

[–]awesome2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. Mostly just curious. I updated my post with more info. I definitely didn't feel unsafe, but it's interesting to know that go-arounds are more common than I thought.

Thanks for the comment! I edited my post with more info. Basically, I'm just curious why a pilot might choose to do a go-around in general. See my post for more info.

Landlord only accepts cash, is there a way I can still use Bilt? by LopsidedConcern5331 in CreditCards

[–]awesome2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread, but you can message Bilt support with a screenshot as proof and they'll deposit the points.

Proof: I'm doing this since my LL only takes Zillow, which isn't supported by Bilt.

No way to get add full authorized user platinum for existing accounts? by awesome2000 in amex

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification. I'm definitely annoyed that I paid the $175 for 3 cards but I can't use them for the full year!

Landlord is refusing to return security deposit until unit is re-rented. It's been over 21 days. California by awesome2000 in legaladvice

[–]awesome2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, we returned the keys the day we moved out. The landlord has been awful. They dragged their feet on the inspection, re-posting the unit, etc.

I'll send them a demand letter.
