Actually this was a huge update. Shared mailboxes are extensively used at any company I've been at so being able to just open a shared mailbox without having to dig through 93744847 folders or opening another mailbox is a great addition.

In October they are forcing everyone to new outlook too! I can't wait to have a shittier interface with less functionality!

Yeah exactly. Nobody actually "hacks" anymore. They just send Pam in accounting a funny email

It actually does now. Your M365 license also includes a windows license.

These days it's really about managing SPF and DKIM records. But I usually tell people just "use an email provider". It doesn't have to be a big one or anything, just someone else because email is an enormous headache and it's just frankly not worth it.

Even if you set up all of your records correctly, every other email provider is going to look into the reputation of your email server and a lot of them will still filter your stuff into junk mail because its 99% of people running their own email server are using it to serve junk mail.

Look im an IT guy, and enforcing 2FA for all accounts at our company directly caused at least 2 people to quit at my company.

People are enormously resistant to change. It doesn't even matter if it actually impacts their job or anything, they will freak out and complain.

Hell 2 weeks ago I added a 3rd AP to one of our offices and just the act of moving the APs around caused enough of a disturbance that HR heard about it. And that was me giving them better internet! There wasn't even any downtime! I just moved the things that sit on the ceiling and nobody notices!

Anecdotally but I think your map has coke coming up a bit too far. That really falls off by northern Tennessee unless you're in a particularly rural area.

4k is absolutely an upgrade over 1440p. I have two of them (an LCD and an OLED) and I absolutely love them in every game I play. I will admit that I'm in the super minority and because of my work history I've spent a lot of time looking at a lot of displays so I'm more sensitive to various artifacts than the normal person. And in games I always prefer looks over resolution, it needs to drop down to like 40fps or lower for me to start changing settings.

Basically, it was worth it for me but probably won't be for you. OLED is a significantly actual upgrade. You should get an OLED it'll change your life.

Which would be easier if you were a dev making your own game than if you were making a mod for an existing one no?

HDR is more for showing the "depth" of an image, not as much the color gamut (how many colors it can show).

HDR will help more with things like if you're inside a building and looking out in a daylight scene. Youll be able to see more of both inside and outside the building. Of course it won't make your monitor better, but assuming you have more than a basic display you should be able to see a difference.

"I budgeted about $500 for my GPU, that should be able to get me a high end card right?"

(That's like $750 today, adjusted for inflation, btw)

Do you have a source for this? Not doubting you, I'm just not European so I must have missed this

That's also ignoring how all of your actual personal information (full name, address, social security, phone number, email, etc) have already been leaked 16 times this year alone

And having a friend-to-friend piracy network absolutely pushes you into "power user" territory lmfao

Yeah you're right, I was simplifying to the point where I was a little mistaken. I was assuming y5ou're network was connected to the Internet and was just a standard residential setup, but this is a much better explanation.

That literally is though? NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It'll take you public IP and translate those packets to use your internal one.

If your computer has an address that starts with 169, 168, or 10 there is a NAT somewhere in your network.

And it's a "security thing" in the same way that asking someone's name over the phone prevents impersonation haha

All routers have NAT, that's sort of their entire role. Are you maybe talking about "double NATing" where you have your router behind the ISP modem/router?

As far as I'm aware Skype does not support actual VOIP calling anymore, at least according to Microsoft and the couple forums i just skimmed through. But it's been probably 10+ years since I've actually used it or interacted with anyone who used it haha

And I was talking about static IPs, which are different. And at least in the US (in single family homes) its crazy unlikely that your router is behind any NAT. Unless you're talking about CGNAT but anything short of a dedicated fiber run or dedicated wavelength (which are not options for residential people) you will be behind a CGNAT anyways. Even if you have a public IP.

And, anecdotally. In the last 5-8 years I don't think I've had any issues with NAT when hosting games, it's just firewall rules or my public IP changed. But ymmv on that one when playing 22 year old games haha

That's actually kinda crazy to me because those "tedious conversations" are usually the highlight of my dad. It's a nice lil bit of human connection while I slog through the corporate machine

Xfinity in the states is like that too. Technically I don't have a static but it's only changed twice in 4 years or so.

Once was during a really really bad storm which took power down in my state for days so I don't blame them, and the other one was when they did work on my local node but they sent out an email and a letter before hand lol
