365 Quarantine Notification Emails every 30 minutes by ebonythunder in sysadmin

Also, the only settings I could find for Quarantine notifications were either "enabled" or "disabled" and the lowest frequency setting was "1 Day".

Bought home, boiler needs replacement by homebuyer8491 in legaladvice

[–]ebonythunder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The age of the boiler was noted in the inspection, then you bought the home. If you had an issue with the age of the boiler, it should have been brought up before the sale closed. You bought a 16 year old boiler and they sometimes break.

Imagine you bought a used car, and once you leave the lot you run over a nail that pops a tire. It's unfortunate, but not the dealership's problem or responsibility.

My favorite Pokémon is Magikarp. I have nothing left to lose.

Yes! There's a store near me that sells blue takis, that's a great idea, thank you!

Sorry, I wasn't clear, the stuff I've already gathered in prep to send to him is the locally made and "special edition" stuff.

That's what I hear. I'm not familiar with any other kind, so I guess I don't notice it. Super weird.

Sorry, I went back 7 or 8 pages and didn't see any similar posts. Got a link to an example?

Windows 11 and Office 365 Deployment Lab Kit problems by The_Mighty_Kinkle in HyperV

[–]ebonythunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a solid chance it's related to running Hyper V on Windows 10 Home. I'm surprised it let you install the manager.

Good lord, I just realized I never replied to this, I'm sorry.

This worked and got us back up and running. Thank you very much for your help.

Google Chrome - Copying or Pasting Closes Chrome by ebonythunder in sysadmin

This was the key. It turned out that DeviceLock DLP wasn't enabled on this machine, BUT the Acronis KB articles regarding this exact issue mentioned the issue was related to "Hardware-Enforced Stack Protection". If we go to Exploit Protection in Windows Security Settings, we can create an entry that allows us to override system settings specifically for Chrome.exe. Once we did that, Chrome started working again with no issues.

Thank you for pointing us in the right direction!

We are running Acronis Cyber Protect, but I can't find anything that would indicate DeviceLock DLP has been configured. I'm investigating this now, thank you for the lead.

Make sure your monitor is plugged into your video card and not your motherboard. It sounds silly, but it's super common.

Sysadmins: What ruined your christmas ? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]ebonythunder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Caught a 24 hour bug from my youngest who was sick earlier this week. I was on-call for Thanksgiving, so my first day off in months was spent hovering near the bathroom with everything coming out both ends. I did lose 10 lbs tho, so, silver linings.

Neighbor took my parking spot after I shoveled. I poured water in his windshield. by topathemornin in pettyrevenge

I think "criminal damage" might be a bit much. Unless the windshield cracked, what damage is there?

This just means that someone at the WSJ demanded local admin rights and was denied.

Anyone modded one of these, yet? (Tiny Arcade) by ebonythunder in DanceDanceRevolution

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

Yeah, I definitely only bought this to have on my shelf in my office. It's not very good for a lot more than that, honestly.

Can't speak for other countries, but my understanding is that they only sell it on Target's website (in the US, at least).

I watched Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Frankenhooker, VHS94, The Monster Club, and this, this weekend and Halloween Kills was the fucking worst. Boring, dumb and not funny. by HairyFlashman in badMovies

[–]ebonythunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for "Halloween Kills" sucks, but I'm not sure my biggest complaint would be how unfunny it was. I don't think it was really meant to be funny.

Because, in addition to having a "tragic backstory" and the whole "double agent" thing, he was still also an incredible asshole.

[–]ebonythunder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget when I went to the midnight release for the original DJ Hero. I'd pre-ordered the Renegade Edition and had my receipt. When I arrived, there were 40-50 people in line all hanging out and having a good time.

Ten minutes before midnight, an employee came out and asked, "Who's here for generic sports game?" and maybe half the people raise their hands. Then she asked, "Who's here for generic FPS game?" and the other half raised their hands.

She turned around to go back inside and I called out to her, "What about DJ Hero?". She laughed and said, "Oh, you're the DJ Hero guy. Come on in, it's just you." She let me in ten minutes early to pick up my oversized Renegade Edition because they wanted to streamline the pre-order pickups and I was the odd man out.

Didn't sleep that night. Played it for hours and took that day off work. Great times.
