@dbeato said in Protek Support MSP Ransomware Hits Customers in Salt Lake City, Utah:
I think that if it was VPN, still bad practice to have VPN from MSP or any other systems that unprotected. MSPs should not need to have VPN to customers at all.
And vendors wonder why I won’t let them VPN into my network.... ha
Last week was fantastic!
Drove to Greeley, CO - ok that was boring.
Drove to Moab - visited Arches National Park - drove a 4x4 trail - my friend nearly freaked out.. It was awesome!
Drove to Zion National park - walked The Narrows! - man, can't wait to go back.
Drove to Las Vegas - at at Gordan Ramsey's Steak - had the tasting menu - the Beef Wellington was meh at best, the rest was fantastic!!!
Drove to Hoover Dam took some dam pictures
Drove to Grand Canyon Skywalk - paid for the skywalk - was a let down!!! visit other viewing point in that area - SO MUCH BETTER than the over priced, no pictures allowed skywalk...
Drove to AZ south rim Grand Canyon - hiked the 3 mile trail, very scenic!
Visited Bedrock - Fred Flinstone's home town and watched a raptor show - and got to hold the raptor (on a a glove of course).
Drove to Four Corners - it was exactly what I expected - a plaque marking where the four states meet, took a picture and continued on...
Drove back to Greeley, CO -
and lastly,
Drove home.
58 hours in the car, 3200 miles, 5 states, 3 National Parks, a million pictures - great time!
As some might recall, I ran into Wiztree a month ago. I asked the author to look into adding it to Chocolatey.
And he did.

It's been a good year for Dashrender - down 40 Lbs since January!
Brought my mile time from 8:29 to 6:47.
Only bad thing - good cholesterol is a bit low (but bad cholesterol is in the good range). Doc suggested I drink Red Wine to improve the good Cholesterol.
Just read about this free book on that other site, thought i would share a link to it here.
I was restoring some files from our backups when I ran across this.
These files have been sitting there for a month plus. Unbelievably it appears that non of my other network shares were affected by this.
OMG - I think we some how dodged this bullet.

And of course Rogue One, was great. Andor has a lot of potential.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome so far. Sux it's Disney keeping to the ol' television dole out one episode per week.
All of the streamers do that for the biggest name stuff, even Netflix.
I've never seen Netflix do that - but I haven't watched a Netflix series in years....

Stranger Things Season 2 with my youngest.
Have you watched Andor yet? or have you completely given up on Star Wars?
Looks like Google is doing everything they can do to kill application passwords.
I just checked another account that's never used one, and the option is no longer available.

On the phone with Zoho Support who have told me that if you bundle their services, you lose support. WTF. Complete fail. I'm a pretty big Zoho fan but this is INSANE.
WHAT?? Did you bundle them with a different company? If so, then like MS when you buy an OEM - the OEM is who has to provide support, that could make sense... but if bundling only with their own stuff.. nope, makes no sense.
@RojoLoco said in What hardware do you use for online meetings?:
Model numbers for the monitors mentioned above:
Dell 27 Video Conferencing Monitor - C2722DE ~ $700
Dell 24 Video Conferencing Monitor - C2423H ~ $450
The 24 doesn't seem that bad, assuming the camera and mic are good. But that seems like one hell of an upcharge for the 27
@RojoLoco said in What hardware do you use for online meetings?:
Our new setup includes 2 different models of Dell's video conferencing monitors. Built in camera (pops up from the top edge), as well as a decent array of mics and speakers below the display. I think management didn't really think it through, as our office is mostly cubicles. 2 or more people on a call turns into a weird, multi-node speakerphone, complete with odd echoes that come from both latency and physical distance. They probably would be great if everyone had them at home, but it's not really a practical solution if you have a budget.
Or practical in cubes....
@Pete-S said in Send an Email via SMTP from Command Line with cURL:
IMHO it's unprofessional and much better to use a real transactional email service for these kinds of applications.
such as?
Our users mainly use laptops with built in camera/mics.
Those who need better audio use a headset.
Our docking station setup uses whatever webcam we could find during the pandemic (might be time to look at better ones) and a headset.

First the command itself, showing gmail settings here by default but obviously fill in with your own details:
Does it work? I thought gmail required OAuth nowadays and you couldn't use plain username & password for authentication anymore.
gmail still allows the creation of app passwords.
