Started playing “Hunt the Slipper” yesterday in line for the Social Engineering Vishing competition. Checked w/Crypto Village today & no one seemed aware of it, but bumped into a vendor (SVX) who’d just passed along the red slipper 15 minutes ago.

Have/see the Red slipper? DM me. We’ll rock, paper, scissors to see who walks away with both.

I've been playing around with Intune and really like the configuration piece, but don't understand why TeamViewer is the only remote control option.

​

Microsoft Support uses LogMeIn when I contact them. Does anyone know why LogMeIn / any other remote control tool isn't an available option for Intune?

Been farming the Trade a Pokémon research task since last week in the hopes of a Shiny Bronzor. Other research tasks seem to trigger correctly, but two of these research tasks (picked up Wednesday last week) just triggered a Snorunt and Magikarp encounter.

Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Journal registers as completing the Catch 10 Pokémon and Use 5 Berries to help catch Pokémon research, but doesn't show what research tasks are picked up, so I have no proof that all 3 research slots had the Trade a Pokémon task. Will try to reproduce again during the event.

New Product Manager for ConnectWise CloudConsole here (recently transitioned from the LabTech/Automate side). I've seen some posts lately about CloudConsole costing too much and I agree with you. From what I can tell, it's main value is in helping you reconcile billing for MS CSP accounts, so I'm working to align our pricing model with that value.

Two Questions + One Proactive Response:

• How long does is typically take you to manually reconcile your monthly file from MS for a single tenant?
• How long would it take you to automate that process yourself? (we're considering a monthly MAXIMUM)
• Yes, I'm familiar w/Pax8. IIRC, they procure thru Arrow, charge a 4% fee & have free inte

u/andrew-opendns usually hosts one of these, but figured I'd let everyone know ConnectWise has one scheduled for Monday night at the Myth Bar (8:15pm). See y'all there!

Anyone else experience this? Bought directly from store.falloutboy.com - site says:

Anyone who pre-orders the album will receive a unique ticket pre-sale code to get first shot at tickets to the M A N I A tour. Pre-sale begins May 1st at 10am local. The code will be sent once your order is placed (you will receive an order confirmation + an additional email w/ the unique code and ticket link). Check your junk mail if it doesn’t come through right away.

Got an email for signing up (with discount code), account confirmation, order confirmation, and email list confirmation... but no pre-sale code email. Did they run out of pre-sale codes?

Thanks BestBuy. You got stock. Told the world. And couldn't process an order. Error message after error message after error message. What an waste of time and effort... I'm just trying give my mom her IOU from Xmas.
