Oh gently caress, another dead site to separate the computer touchers age brackets. Anandtech shut down today, it was in zombie mode since Anand left but i used to consider it as gospel for their reviews when he was there.

Cause the one I know is definitely not something to be sent as a reply to that. Old person unironically telling you to stay safe? What the gently caress?

Turns out it's just some confused old person who was trolled into thinking "kys" is how the kids abbreviate "ok thank you"

In Danish written like that, it would actually mean "kiss". As in, that expression of love you do with your lips. But in all my time working helpdesk I've never seen anyone respond like that.

We had something like that the other day. Random folks could no longer resolve our VPN address. Rebooting their router fixed it. A dozen folks from all over the country so far.

I would probably give the person a chance to explain what they think kys means, it's a difficult one to deal with because if they meant it then that should be a dismissal. There does seem to be an effort for people to shitpost that it means "keep yourself safe" so it's possible they just fell for that.

One of the VIPs complained that he could successfully send a large email attachment to one of the other VIPs but not one of the analysts who was on the same email, and he wanted that fixed. I took a look at the M365 settings and found that the default maximum attachment size for new accounts was 30 megs, but that some of the employees who had been here for a long time were set for 50 megs. So I set them all to 30 megs as well. Problem fixed!

When they put a 1y retention on all email I stopped using the delete button. Since they're going to delete it for me and gently caress up my search, why should I expend the effort? I manually save info I need and now email is ephemeral for me. Probably use a lot more storage than if I managed it because I get a lot of attachments, but oh well. Not my pig, not my farm.

We (IT) have been fighting for a retention/purge policy for yeeears and there is no appetite for it, even with legal. Won’t happen until a lawsuit bites us in the rear end.

We're a Google Apps shop. Our email retention policy is 90 days unless you apply a label to it, in which case it's 3 years. Or if you use our Save As record function to drop a PDF on a Shared Drive, which gets you 10 years. At the start of every month, I slap a label on everything I don't need as a reminder in my inbox. Most months this lets me start off with single-digit emails, and as a bonus I have three years' worth of saved email for CYA and documentation purposes.

Lot of corpos had incredibly tiny mailbox when they had it hosted onsite and jumping to 50+ gigs means they don't feel the need to cleanup, ever. We moved from 2gbs mailboxes to 50+50gbs for instance.

A ticket came in from a new employee. "Id like to have my password reset please, and i think self service should be enabled for our organization" A) we've set up passwordless authentication for this client (so SSPR is completely irrelevant) and B) all of this is carefully documented with clear instructions for setup in the standard onboarding documentation this person was sent. What is this employee's title, you ask? Why, senior security engineer, naturally. (edit: also, maybe it's just because I'm a grammar persnicketer but no apostrophe in "I'd", uncapitalized "I", and no period at the end totals three typos in one sentence, from someone who should be caring about the details and no, it does not appear English is their second language.)

It's depressing to struggle for a job and hear that so many places hire the most stunningly unqualified security people. Like sucks for you, but also implies that my problem is appearing competent enough to make people's lives inconvenient or something.

 You may be surprised to know the problem was not, in fact, with her cell phone. You will not be surprised to know the body of the ticket was also typed in all-caps.
