  • First of all it clearly says counter clockwise so like first of all don’t rotate it clockwise like I did. Then secondly google image search rick roll. Thirdly consider the methods and time people go to to land a joke. Like I wonder if it was assisted by AI to just obfuscate it just enough to not be obvious.

    Anyway I had to go to the comments too but mostly because I didn’t read the instructions.






  • I don’t think that works on my Samsung TV, or my partners iPad though. :)

    Although not especially effective on the YouTube front, it actually increases network security just by blocking api access to ad networks on those kinds of IoT and walled garden devices. Ironically my partner loves it not for YouTube but apparently all her Chinese drama streaming websites. So when we go travel and she’s subjected to those ads she’s much more frustrated than when she’s at home lol.

    So the little joke while not strictly true, is pretty true just if you just say ‘streaming content provider’.




  • Hey so it seems like you don’t really get licensing or ‘too expensive’ is just business speak for wanting it done free.

    Exchange plan 1 licenses are minimally very very small licenses, but you can get even cheaper. You can even get exchange kiosk. Kiosk isn’t designed for users, it’s designed for things like an MFP then you’re allowed to relay with an authenticated startTLS account setup on the MFP to connect to exchange Online.

    However, if you don’t use an authenticated account, you can still send internally. That way your inevitable compromised device doesn’t spam the world with mail throttle Microsoft servers. However you can scan to your own internal staff. And by internal staff I’m guessing at more and more here but I’m betting you have two mail domains. Only domains in your exchange Online Admin centre which are added into the domains, will be ‘internal’.

    If you wanted hybrid you should do hybrid using the hybrid configuration wizard and it will connect your on premises exchange to your exchange Online using mail transports. You need to fix up a bunch of things to get that connected. But doing so will count the mailboxes which are on premise as ‘internal’ and unauthenticated mail will be allowed to relay to them.

    But 40 exchange online only accounts with exchange plan 1 is hardly a few seconds of wage time per month in costs.

    I’m guessing a lot here, but you said you have two different mail servers currently, online and on premise, I can only assume you’ve either got two different mail domains otherwise MX routing would be dead to one or the other. And I guess that because you said you’re getting errors that only happen when you send mail to external users.

    So…


  • Is the copied file going to a usb? Is the usb fake? Otherwise I’m pretty sure your source is bad. Probably the disk sector if you’re sure the file was at some point complete.

    Something like btrfs probably does block cloning or similar so a copy to the same disk probably just points at the same disk blocks as the original.

    ffmpeg -v error -i file.avi -f null - 2>error.log

    Check the source probably




  • How are they placing this data? Api? Not possible to align disk tiers to api requests per minute? Api response limited to every 1ms for some clients, 0.1ms rate for others?

    You’re pretty forthcoming about the problems so I do genuinely hope you get some talking points since this issue affects, app&db design, sales, and maintenance teams minimally. Considering all aspects will give you more chance for the business to realise there’s a problem that affects customer experience.

    I think from handling tickets, maybe processes to auto respond to rate limited/throttled customers with 'your instance been rate limited as it has reached the {tier limit} as per your performance tier. This limit is until {rate limit block time expiry}. Support tickets related to performance or limits will be limited to P3 until this rate limit expires."

    Work with your sales and contracts team to update the sla to exclude rate limited customers from priority sla.

    I guess I’m still on the “maybe there’s more you can do to get your feet out of the fire for customer self inflicted injury” like correctly classifying customer stuff right. It’s bad when one customer can misclassify stuff and harm another customer with an issue by jumping a queue and delaying response to real issues, when it’s working as intended.

    If a customer was warned and did it anyway, it can’t be a top priority issue, which is your argument I guess. Customers who need more, but pay for less and then have a expectation for more than they get. It’s really not your fault or problem. But if it’s affecting you I guess I’m wondering how to get it to affect you less.
