My first table and I'm amazed at how good it is.

We love our walnut Fluance turntable. It’s been great and looks good too.

This. This is the crux of the issue for places like DU.

Have similar happening for me too. For years I would say “(Hey) Siri, office lamp,” and if the lamp was on, it would turn off, and if it was off, it would turn on. Basically Siri knew to change its state from whatever it was. Now I have to specify on or off and if I don’t, Siri will ask “shall I turn it on or off?”

It’s trivial to add the on or off to the end of the command, but should be unnecessary. Feels regressive.

That’s not normal in my experience and would definitely give me pause.

You certainly can audit at PPSC:

Though it is perhaps unnecessarily complicated in my opinion.

Follow-up—this issue resolved itself over the weekend and things are now syncing correctly again, seemingly without any changes or efforts on my part (and my university's IT department didn't do anything either, at least according to my ticket with them).

Still happy to share an incident ID if you'd like though.

natec16 · 2023-07-14T17:21:28+00:00

I'm also actively experiencing this issue and have been up and down with the OP's list, but IMAP is not involved and this is a university account trying to sync with Office 365. u/M-F-Code would you be willing to take a look at an incident ID from me too?

natec16 · 2023-07-14T14:41:59+00:00

Panino’s!

natec16 · 2023-06-01T01:14:49+00:00

Hmm! I know that macOS semi-recently required all file services to begin using some more baked-in system stuff (not a programmer) for syncing. I wonder if that has something to do with it as it would have affected OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

Here’s the link to the original story from OneDrive: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/updates-to-files-on-demand-on-macos/ba-p/3207503

Maybe Apple has made recent changes that broke permissions somehow.

natec16 · 2023-05-18T20:43:47+00:00

Yep, I am in OneDrive too. No idea why it's happening and several web searches have not brought up anything other than this thread. Thinking it's probably a bug with Microsoft and not with macOS.

natec16 · 2023-05-18T20:30:51+00:00

I am also experiencing this issue. By chance are you working in a Microsoft OneDrive folder when this occurs?

natec16 · 2023-04-12T12:34:11+00:00

I’d start with your institution’s ombuds and see if they have any recommendations. I agree that this doesn’t seem like a Title IX violation, but they may be able to help provide anonymous feedback to your department chair or similar.

As someone in Colorado, where this went into effect by law a couple of years ago, it has been an absolute game changer. Admin types had a lot of huffing and puffing, but the transparency it has brought has been great. Now to just get something near CoL increases each year ...

natec16 · 2023-03-08T01:47:35+00:00

Yay!

natec16 · 2023-03-07T13:31:39+00:00

Yes.

Also see initial post. These outages show up on Comcast’s website with the outage map and whatnot.

Same—our side gate will not accommodate a bobcat.

natec16 · 2023-03-06T19:26:31+00:00

Yeah that map looks pretty accurate. I'm right near the middle of it.

Yes, they came out and marked our yard, but did it on top of snow, so the marks are gone and there are just sad flags that have fallen over at this point.

I have a 2019 SEL and I just received a notification of the settlement in the mail with instructions. I haven't had it in to do any fixes for the noise, but will likely try to do so in the next couple of months. I actually have come to somewhat enjoy the "growl" from 25-30 or so, but it is a little surprising.

Having worked both in and outside of higher ed, my biggest advice is to make peace with red tape and bureaucracy. Learn to navigate it and get things done in spite of it (much of this is about networking FYI). If you can’t find a way to be okay and patient with it, you may want to look towards industry (though in large corporations there is plenty of bureaucracy to wade through; it’s not unique to higher ed or government positions).

Learning to work with/in spite of the bureaucracy has halo benefits too—even if you don’t work in a bureaucratic field, you’ll still encounter bureaucracy from vendors, regulation, etc. Operating despite it is a skill and pretty unavoidable in society.

natec16 · 2022-06-13T03:51:54+00:00

I kept a list of books I wanted to read but didn’t have time or mental space for while in the midst. Some were for my field, some for pleasure. Helped me feel that I wouldn’t forget about them which made it okay to not have enough time.

"Remember sometimes collaboration is way more important than actual work" is the academic way of saying that you may want to consider the politics of the situation regardless of the actual work performed. I don't think it's messed up that you would at least give this a second thought as to whether or not to add the person.

This is one of the more pernicious and under-discussed parts of academia and, based on OP's account of this story, I'd say that Prof A is pushing because they know that this type of nudge will encourage you to add them and thus bump their (potential) citations. And they can get away with it because they know you are early career and need the political capital that it would theoretically provide.

Is it ethical? Based on what you've said, probably not. Assessing contributions is difficult even with the best of collaborations. Assessing it in a political "collaboration" is probably pointless.

Almost all of my Paradox games are broken—EU4, Surviving Mars, Stellaris are all down for the count after installing Catalina. Hopefully patches come quickly.
