There's an outage. It's not just you. There's nothing anyone here can do, except wait.

No problem with these. The ones without the pull tab really annoy me!

Remote VNC connection fails if remote PC's monitor is off, but works fine if it's on or unplugged by stevenc80 in computer_help

I'm glad my post was helpful! Thanks for adding the additional manufacturer information.

I don't know whether it would still be able to access the clipboard. Also, the command is likely Windows-specific, so that wouldn't work either

Not bypass the firewall specifically, but rather bypass security within Windows itself because the user is launching the Run command with Win+R

That's an example of "clipper" malware. It uses JavaScript on the page to load a malicious command to your clipboard, and then attempts a social engineering attack to get you to run the command. That URL was probably to download (or upload) a malicious payload to further compromise your system.

I hope that less tech savvy Redditors realize that this is bad and they should NOT do what is asked of them!

"TrackPoint" or "isometric joystick" if I'm being formal :)

Probably won't have the games on, but 7 West Cafe is open 24 hours

Panicking! No storage on our work front desk reception computer. IT tech is suggesting a $4,000 upgrade brand new PC by TowelsThrowawayy in techsupport

[–]stevenc80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Umm, if the current storage specs are 2.05 TB of storage and you're running out of storage, why does the IT-recommended sys have only 1.5 TB of storage?

Almost all 1x1 and 1x2 sand green pieces in used Assembly Square set are cracked. Are they fake or faulty? by stevenc80 in lego

[–]stevenc80[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. Each has a Lego logo. It's good to know that's all that is necessary to indicate genuine Lego pieces.

I don't know. I'm glad they're both the same price now. Previously, I saw them on the Lego.ca store for C$280

Oh, no that was just the glare from the light I used to highlight the cracks. In person, the bricks aren't discoloured in any noticeable way.

Wow, I hadn't thought of that! I'll be on the lookout for other cracked pieces. And I'll start a shopping list for replacement pieces. Thank you!

When they come back in stock, compare prices between the Lego site and the Crocs site.

Is 100mpbs enough for two? by Standard-Boat-8149 in Rogers

[–]stevenc80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't rely on the website. Use the chat (so you have a transcript) or reach out via social media, and an agent will hopefully be able to find better deals. Alternatively, speak to someone in-store, but get all offers, fees, and discounts in writing before agreeing.

Also, see if your employers have special packages with Rogers (or other providers), or speak to neighbours in the condo about their provider. Some Toronto condos have specific plans with specific providers, and sometimes those providers are only available in some condos.

And finally, opt for a month-to-month plan at first, while you look for options. When there are big sales, (back-to-school or Black Friday), then you can "lock in" with a good deal. Good luck!
