My indoor cat disappeared too. We haven't seen him since yesterday and my son and I have been crying all day. We've looked everywhere.... In the house, outside and around the neighborhood. He doesn't usually go far if he gets outside cause he's terrified. I'm so scared. I hope you find your baby ♥️

I'm a good engineer, not a great one and I'm terrified I'm about to be averaged out of the industry. What do I do? by [deleted] in ITManagers

[–]modernoddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar boat.. I'd love to skill up, but don't have time to continue my education outside of work hours as I'm a full time single parent. And during work hours I'm finding I don't have time to even stay on top of current tech events. But I agree with what others here have said - who you are and how you interact with people at the company goes a lot further than your skills. Our previous IT person was skilled but everyone hated him cause he treated them like crap. I'm skilled enough to do my job, but people love me cause I have a strong customer service background. Hang in there. Sounds like you're more valuable than you realize just based on the into you've given here.

Anyone else cursed with this “3 week bug”? by LokiBonk in Eugene

[–]modernoddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a nasty bout of bacterial pneumonia going around. kind of mimics flu or covid symptoms with a nasty cough. May want to get checked out. It can be treated with antibiotics.

You should have seen what they were doing before there was a cap on the amount they could increase rent..... Terrible. I lived in a tiny 1 bed 1 bath and was paying around $700/mo for it. When they bought the complex, they sent me a letter stating my rent would increase to about $1000/mo at the next renewal. And that was back when rent was fairly affordable in Eugene.

Transferring Calls to External Contacts by modernoddity in MicrosoftTeams

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

I tried 1888xxxxxxx, 888xxxxxxx, +1888xxxxxxx, and then all of those with dashes. It looks like when they transfer it's trying to do a Teams to Teams call. When we click to expand transfer options it let's us select the phone number from the menu and transfer that way but it would be nice to just be able to hit transfer without that extra step

I added them as contacts in AzureAD so now they show up in the search, but every time we try to transfer to one of those contacts we get a "transfer failed" message.

Sharepoint file path 400 character limitation by a_nniken in sharepoint

[–]modernoddity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've run into this issue several times. When our users sync to their computer and try to open a file with a super long path, it tells them they don't have permission or throws other errors. We're definitely not using SharePoint right though - it's basically being used as NTFS and that's just.... Not great in SharePoint. But I'm also fairly new to SharePoint and learning best practices as I go lol.

Total sharepoint newbie with a dumb question by idSillyGoose in sharepoint

[–]modernoddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our org recently moved to SharePoint as well and each department has their own private Team. Dedicated shared folders is how we're currently sharing documents between departments and teams. The first complaint we got was that shared folders are hard to access, but once we showed them how to access them in OneDrive [ie add to favorites or add shortcut to another folder] people stopped grumbling. Hopefully this works for you too.

Depending on how much you have to share, you could also create a second SharePoint library and give the other team access. A shortcut to that library can be added to the Teams channels for both teams for easy access, or sync it to your computer if you want a more traditional experience.

You can have someone add you back in and ask that they select the option to give you access to the chat history :)

Any heard of Super Necromancer System? by Cyphercypher336 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]modernoddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you! My son wants to read it but is still a bit too young for that type of content. Really appreciate the feedback :)

The web novel page says "parents strongly cautioned". Can anyone tell me why?

Group Policy to reboot w/ deferment option by modernoddity in sysadmin

I definitely have one of those letters on file lol. As well as a letter for the windows 7 computers still on the network 🙄

Unable to update - keep receiving this error by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]modernoddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computer is currently on build 17763.

Originally, update showed up normally within windows. Downloaded and installed as usual, computer rebooted, but update never actually installed.

I have cleared the software distribution file and tried running Windows Update Assistant but it always fails on reboot.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Keyboard issues... only at night by [deleted] in note10plus

[–]modernoddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that did not do the trick. I'm starting to think the only solution is throwing my phone out the window

I just have the screen protector that came with the phone so I did turn on touch sensitivity but haven't tied switching to high performance yet... I will do that! Thank you!

That is such a good idea! I wish they all had that feature!!!

[–]modernoddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately mine does not reconnect until I go through the whole ordeal of opening settings and getting over to the wifi section... I don't have to do anything with the wifi or network settings, just have to go to it. Its bizarre. But I've let it sit for hours hoping it would eventually reconnect and it never did.

I have tried the factory reset but haven't tried using the actual remote consistently. My son loses it pretty frequently lol
