It is, to a degree.

She’s no billy strings.

I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.

Actually, I’m still not sure.

Me too!

I thought it said “Grimes” and it was making a joke about how ugly and comical the cybertruck looks.

Oops.

LOL

I think it was the original meaning when it was brand new and still very niche.

Part of me wonders if it made it onto one of those “Parents! Know these abbreviations!” memes where they purposely list the acronyms incorrectly (LOL–Lots of Love) and then got more popular that way.

Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing “SMH” it was “So. Much. Hate.”

As in “I really dislike that.”

As in “So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate.”

Except for the #reddit-sysadmin IRC channel. Gibby’s always shilling his “fart in a jar” NFT.

Lotta key parties in your neck of the woods?

For most people, these are harmless and just a part of getting older. You’ll get used to them.

I’ve had these since I was in preschool.

They’re far less pronounced (almost entirely absent, really) now in my 40’s than they were throughout my single digit years, but I still see them once in a great while

That would be the SMART way to do things, yes.

One can hope.

I was actually impressed when I took a bus across state lines in the U.S. recently.

Someone was complaining about the charger on their seat not working.

Turns out that the driver has full control of the power to the USB ports on the bus and can turn them off and on at will… and they apparently they turn them off BY DEFAULT.

If someone WERE to figure out a way to get from the USB port in the seats to the CAN Bus on the vehicle itself, having a hard-wired physical switch that cuts power/signal to the ports is potentially a fairly effective security measure as long as there’s not a memory buffer you can compromise and run stuff from.

Sweet, Thanks.

I just checked The Atrocity Archives (first book in the series) out of my local library’s e-book program.

I’m looking forward to reading this.

okay, so you’ve got 10 employees with MS licensing. They have e-mail addresses through their microsoft licensing, correct? Those e-mails go through an exchange server? (whether on-premises or exchange online, right?)

The other 30 employees have e-mail using…what, exactly? (What kind of mail server?)

Because that Microsoft doc is typically used to set up stuff like scan-to-email for copiers and although you can do other things with relays, knowing the precise setup (without the exact domain names, just use domain1.com, domain2.com or whatever) is important here in order to get the MX records and any relays pointing at the servers where the addresses reside.

554 does seem to indicate a configuration or permissions issue, but to go down that route, I’d need a little more info about the non-microsoft side of things.

I heard the Elderly Man’s words in the voice of Kris Kristofferson’s Whistler character from the Blade movies.
