I was once in a bathroom with Jeff Raikes and Bill Gates. Bill was asking Jeff what the 'RT' in windows RT stood for. Jeff didn't know.

It is absolutely bucketing down rain here in California. There's a rather serious roof leak at one of the facilities. They need tarps and buckets (or maybe full-on trashcans) and there was talk of getting a pump. The total for all that when they put it into Home Dept for buy online, store pickup came to several hundred dollars, which the maint guy cordially refused to put on his personal credit card for reimbursement "later", so they started calling people at home (on Sunday, for those of you reading this later) trying to find someone with a P-card who would actually answer the work phone. So that someone could go online and buy Home Depot giftcards (You may see where this is going...) and provide the onsite people the info. So that they could check out the cart and get the flood supplies. Very much to his credit, the first person they got a hold of asked for a video call to make sure he was actually talking to the people, and one quick Google meet later, he actually decided to meet the maint guy at Home Depot and pay in person.

Where I thought this was going: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/04/asia/deepfake-cfo-scam-hong-kong-intl-hnk/index.html A finance worker at a multinational firm was tricked into paying out $25 million to fraudsters using deepfake technology to pose as the company’s chief financial officer in a video conference call, according to Hong Kong police.

Does anybody else who uses the Office deployment tool have issues with it downloading the CurrentPreview channel install files? For me it's acting like they aren't on the MS servers.

I know god gives his strongest warriors the toughest challenges but I am not sure I am strong enough to politely explain to an accountant that email addresses are not case sensitive in the year of our lord 2024, and that this is not the reason their external collaborator doesn’t have a Sharepoint b2b invite. (It’s because they were already in the site collection from last year and they didn’t actually check)

Email is case sensitive. Everyone has just ignored that part for the RFC for decades because it's pretty stupid.

The email rfc also specifies emails can have a bunch of really stupid characters that nobody ever uses, forcing programmers to use insanely long regex's to validate emails, when it should just be *@*.*

Occasionally our place will create an email with a `'` which always throws me off. Email addresses shouldn't allow quotes!

Addresses should be unicode so that people can spell their names properly in their language, you can always add aliases to make them typeable on other keyboards

Yet I've completely given up on that automatic label thing gmail is supposed to have with the email+label@gmail.com thing because all the stupid sites I'd want to use it for claim it's an invalid email address.

TBH I think that's on purpose. Those sites know that you want to filter their garbage out, so they add "+" to the excluded symbols list and just pretend their site is too dumb to get it right.

We have a nice domain (it's basically the company name on the .engineering TLD) and we have to religiously set up aliases for every address we use due to forms refusing to validate it. I've also had suppliers add a .com to the end of it because they thought they were helping and assumed company employees don't know their own email address.

I was pleasantly surprised the other day to actually be denied entry to a job site. It was a government office and a different tech had initially been assigned but he got pulled away for something else and they sent me instead. But it turned out they hadn't sent my government clearance forms to the site. My dispatcher was all annoyed that they wouldn't let me in but I had to make a point of commending the site contact for actually taking it seriously since my name didn't match the name she'd been given and she didn't have my clearance info. Normally you can get in basically anywhere if you have a clipboard and look bored.

I worked somewhere like that, if you weren’t on the list you’d need an escort. If it was just you, well too bad. And you needed an ID or another escort just to get to that gate, since the facility was on a military base. And even after that I think within the building itself you needed two keys to get through the locked doors that were housing the nerve gas that they’d run tests on. IT working in a facility with nerve gas, never again

I have a domain for email, and the address I use has a single letter before @. You'd (not) be surprised how many times web forms have told me that it's not valid.
