This really should include "2,147,483,648" somewhere in the setup though?

chin up everything sucks posted:A third one was blind and lonely and kept calling in to try and reach a female tech (we only had a few) to get help setting up his online dating profile. We actually had to eventually ban this person from calling it. Yeah, that is really sad when it happens. One former job I had was the customer support line for a commercial TV company who provided pay channels to antenna TV. There was this one old guy who would call, hang up on hearing a male voice and asking any female-sounding person "do you want to be my friend?". Sometimes he would not call for a week and then he would call 10 times in a night.

The single way to guarantee your email is read by the majority of people,, us to issue a recall notice after sending I wouldn't read it otherwise, but now you DONT want me to read it? I'm memorizing it.

Just like setting something high priority makes me less likely to respond in a timely manner. The email debacle from the WH today has been endlessly entertaining in many of the various Slacks I'm in. It needed a "Remove me from this list" reply all to really push me over the edge, though.

Read receipts are never not used for some petty reason. I have a coworker who sets it on for every e-mail. Auto-deny read receipt is the only way to function.

"You better believe I read the gently caress out of everything in that message". Definitely been there. I've got the same first name, first initial of my last name as one of the high high up finance guys. Every now and then someone wouldn't pay attention to their autocomplete and send me things like plans for capital projects. The best part was that this was before we were on Outlook so they couldn't even recall the emails, just politely ask me to please delete everything and not read it.

It's one thing that people miss about GroupWise. You could recall and it would actually delete it from the other persons mail box.

Ghostlight posted:I left that on but turned off automatically-mark-as-read. Clever, but I don't know if it works in Exchange/O365. I've noticed that when I pull down my messages with Thunderbird and keep them marked unread but then subsequently log into the O365 webclient (or visa versa), those emails won't prompt a read receipt request on the second platform. I imagine Exchange tracks "low-key: we know that this message has been accessed" in addition to "marked read or unread by arbitrary user decisions." I'm wondering how it interacts with exchange policies that silently force automatic read receipts on intradomain emails. I suspect one of our executives has such a policy running for their benefit, because I don't get send-receipt prompts on any messages from them in O365, but the disposition-notice request is always in the headers and I see the prompts in Thunderbird. Also, they sent a reply email quoting a receipt from me, one time, and I'm drat skippy I didn't deliberately send one to them. Question is: do they get the receipts when an IMAP client pulls the message, or only when I actually mark it as read or O365 certifies that the email has indeed been displayed in it's environment?

I don't know if it still does this, but at least a few years ago, the native iOS mail client would automatically (and silently) send read receipts if they were requested. There was no way to disable that "feature."

The Macaroni posted:It's a handy paper trail though. That way when Captain Dumbass makes a decision based on the email you recalled, you get to say, "I recalled the incorrect information, and my later update also said to disregard the previous information." I don't think that is the proper way to go about it. If an email went out that needs to go away, you delete the email on the exchange level by the folks who know how to do that. If you feel you need to follow up with communication to the affected parties for transparency, great. Recall is completely useless.

Got report that a machine was crashing with random BSODs, always a different error. This normally means something with memory, but it passed memory tests. Event Viewer full of disk errors. Re-seated everything. Swapped SSD, problems still there. Couldn't run BurnItTest for more than 2 minutes. On a whim, took a pencil eraser to contacts on the RAM stick to make them super shiny... Problem solved! Machine has been running BurnInTest for over an hour now without a single error. WTF

What is up with HP (and it's only HP) printer software installers? Why do they always take like 20 minutes to install a printer driver? What are they doing in there? I've experienced this for years, every place I've worked, around eight in ten installations will sit there on the setup screen forever. I'm surprised I don't hear more people talk about this. Less surprised that it hasn't been fixed.

Less surprised that it hasn't been fixed. I manage all the HP printers here (40 or so printers) and I don't install the software. The drivers get installed automatically from the print server. It takes less than 10 seconds. If I'm installing a local HP printer, I just choose the inf file.

It's installing a lot of backend stuff to ensure you only use HP cartridges, shame you if you don't, and pop up helpful reminders to buy new HP ink from the HP store when your ink levels hit about 65%. It also installs a photo manager and Scan-To-Computer funtionality (that doesnt work great) for any model with a scanner. Go get the Basic Driver Package off their website and never install another full HP package again.
