That was a wee bit of mod abuse

Started writing an answer. Decided it should be a comment. Posted, and converted it ._.

yay email server can send and recieve

very rude comment from one of your members... no point hanging around on this site

Bob

Oookay...? Because one person represents the entire site now?

shrug your choice.

Journeyman Geek

Going to do that

DavidPostill

That would be me. He asked for support on a corporate network "My workplace uses Office 365 Outlook (Online Web Access) for our email". I suggested "Why not ask your IT department? That is what they are there for ... ". Does anyone else think that is rude?

Journeyman Geek

09:05

Link me the question, and I'll get out the rolled up newspaper as needed ;)

DavidPostill

superuser.com/questions/981890/how-to-download-and-save-multiple-emails-from-out‌look-365-owa

Next time I will use my standard comment "Issues specific to corporate IT support and networks are off topic, see What topics can I ask about here?. Please talk to your IT department.". Is that rude as well?

Bob

@DavidPostill ...yea, that's not rude.

Journeyman Geek

hmm.

I'd probably have worded it a bit differently

Bob

Perhaps a tad abrupt, but I never really cared for flowery language anyway.

Journeyman Geek

Not rude enough for the newspaper

Bob

09:07

I'd say it's more unnecessary than anything else.

Journeyman Geek

But I would probably have gone "You might be able to use a regular mail client to do that. However, the best people to advice you on the settings for doing this would be your IT department"

DavidPostill

@Bob Phew. I never been accused of being rude before ;)

Journeyman Geek

I might have been once or twice...

(typically people would find that hillarious tho)

DavidPostill

@MichaelFrank Really? Was it discussed on meta? I vaguely remember something along those lines.

Too bad (!) it's a public holiday tomorrow...

TheLittleNaruto

holiday tomorrow ? for what ?

Well today is Sunday over here.

Bob

Public holidays in Australia

Public holidays in Australia are declared on a state and territory basis, with the exception of national public holidays. == Nature of public holidays == Traditionally, work, public or private, were entitled to take off a public holiday with regular pay. In recent years this tradition has changed somewhat. For example, businesses that are normally open on a public holiday may request employees to work on the day, and refusal can only be denied by the employer on reasonable business grounds. The entitlement to penalty rates was eliminated entirely in many workplaces under WorkChoices; however since...

...wiki oneboxing is broken

click the link for the specific event :P

TheLittleNaruto

xD

BTW, We celebrate labour day on 1st of May every year.

DavidPostill

Remember AU is upside down ;)

October is summer. Better to have a holiday when the weather is nice.

TheLittleNaruto

10:10

AUS is one of the hottest country. Isn't it ?

People use so many cosmetics to save their skin from sun-burn. That's what I heard; Don't know if it's really true.

Bob

@TheLittleNaruto ...not really. It's more that we have a giant hole in the ozone layer above us. And it's sunscreen, not cosmetics.

TheLittleNaruto

@Bob I see. So that's the reason.

@Bob , got any idea on my windows auto-restart pain ?

Bob

@TheLittleNaruto nup, haven't even looked

I'm a tad busy at the moment

(of course I procrastinate by chatting...)

Journeyman Geek

@TheLittleNaruto: No, they wear funny hats, with corks.

And don't forget the dropbear repellent.

and the huge knife in case of dingos trying to steal your barbie.

TheLittleNaruto

10:26

Sounds like Aussies are fun.

@Bob lol

@Journeyman Do you have got any solution for this issue ?

Sob! Sob! :'(

Journeyman Geek

@TheLittleNaruto: if I did, I'd post an answer.

TheLittleNaruto

Yeah! You're right.

Journeyman Geek

(same as anyone here!)

TheLittleNaruto

So, looks like I don't have any solution. :/

Bob

@TheLittleNaruto Dig into your machine's firmware.

And also try disabling fast startup.

If disabling fast startup works, that means it's not starting, it's waking up (from the perspective of the hardware/firmware).

TheLittleNaruto

10:36

@Bob How do you do that ? (Note: I have not much knowledge on Windows)

Bob

waking up can be caused by keypresses, mouse clicks/movement, network activity, etc etc etc

@TheLittleNaruto ...that has nothing to do with Windows. Just go into your UEFI settings and look around.

But my hunch is on fast startup (Windows thing) + waking up.

TheLittleNaruto

@Bob Well, I have tried that already, and I have mentioned that in my question.

Bob

ah. I skimmed a bit. Sorry.

TheLittleNaruto

C:\>powercfg /waketimers
There are no active wake timers in the system.

So nothing is there trying to wake up the system.

Restarting PC...

Bob

waketimers refers to a very specific subset of timers

HID and network wake are completely separate

TheLittleNaruto

10:54

I see.

I don't know what should I look into anymore.

I think I should take a nap.

I have been trying to solve it since the morning.

Thank you for the discussion room, been very helpful. :)

Quick question: When I post an answer to a Question from someone, does it appear anywhere or notify people that say, so-and-so answered this question?

So far I've posted answers to like 6-7 questions, including this one that's been around a while...

1

A: What is the correct way to plug DNS leaks when running OpenVPN?

A VPN is great for encrypting data, however 2 of its other main functions is assuming another IP address and changing nationality to access location-restricted content. It functions because the VPN allows you to select an alternate exit server, where it pretends you're actually located by routing...

Journeyman Geek

yup

xCare

where does it appear @JourneymanGeek is it something that I see?

or for others only?

Journeyman Geek

should be in your inbox

xCare

15:08

I have an inbox here? like internal e-mail?

or perhaps you meant the other inbox..

Journeyman Geek

xCare

ah, that's what that is. How do I access the Inbox?

says Inbox on the header but it's unclickable in mine

Journeyman Geek

that's odd

it should be clickable

Bob

@Mokubai can, yes. should? not nearly that much.

moreso when the giant heap is paired with 40$ CPU usage (expected ~0), and basically breaks the appserver

also, it doesn't happen with profiling enabled. go figure.

xCare

ah, had to be logged in to the main site apparently. I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the list and clicked See all Inbox items. That brought me to a Stack Exchange login screen and got to the Inbox from what looks like my Profile page.

It's not like a regular e-mail though, won't let me send to other members or receive mails from them, right?

Mokubai

15:21

No, there is no private messaging system here.

If someone replies to your questions or answers then you'll get a notification

xCare

Okay ty.

Mokubai

The only way you can "talk" to people is via chat or replying via comments, and preferably comments shouldn't be used for extended discussion

xCare

right, I remember that.

Do we all have 1 profile per room or is that all in one?

or I guess it means per account

The Network Profile seems to be the universal one, all the activity from all the other branches appears to be grouped in there.

Journeyman Geek

one profile per site, and one per chat server

I believe there's 2 or 3 chat servers, the common one, and chat.SO

and er... profiles can be synced (in terms of content), but its a single 'account' everywhere

xCare

uh... ok, that's going to take a bit to keep up to.. any place where those profiles are grouped for easy access?

Journeyman Geek

15:31

Well normally you wouldn't need to muck with profiles outside site use

xCare

so the different branches have unique profiles and the Network Account links them.

does that mean I should be able to access all of them from the Network Profile?

Journeyman Geek

yup

xCare

so far I'm part of 2 branches, Stack Exchange and SuperUser, there is also Meta's beneath them, apparently they come with each category.

Are there any limits to how many branches I can be part of?

I call them branches because it all looks like a kind of tree structure

As a general rule, so I won't get cluttered I'll only join branches I find of interest or have a need for unless there's a limit to that.

Mokubai

No limit, you can create an account on every site if you like.

You can "hide" account so they're not shown on your profile

But generally we just call them sites, and the wider group as the "Network"

xCare

15:49

I see. What does the "Network" do, is it like a higher level Yahoo! Answers type site or is it meant like a tech forum or something else?

I am not familiar with Stack Exchange lol, first time I saw it was last week. :(

Mokubai

The Network is what we call the entire group. Stack Exchange itself basically. Off of the network are all the individual sites.

DavidPostill

Stack Exchange sites are NOT forums ;)

xCare

it's just a question an answer site then basically, right?

DavidPostill

Yes!

xCare

so a help site through the Q & A format :)

DavidPostill

that's nice. thanks for helping. it's not like a wiki or stuff like that then

"help site" is a bit simplified, though... in reality, we only provide help if doing so happens to add to the body of knowledge on the site... if the question and answer are not contributing to reusable knowledge, we'll probably close it

or was that just a one time thing

allquixotic

200 pt rep cap per day

xCare

yes, but I noticed after getting 10 rep for an upvote, if I make another upvote it doesn't give me any more rep?

allquixotic

you casting upvotes doesn't give you any rep

xCare

I did get 10 rep for an upvote though

allquixotic

16:04

you have to receive upvotes on questions or answers you make on the site, or accepted edits at low rep, or accepted answers

well, no, you didn't get 10 rep for casting an upvote - you can check your rep history to see why you got that rep, but it wasn't because you casted an upvote

could have been 2 upvotes on one of your questions, or you accepting the answer on 5 questions you asked, or one upvote on one of your answers

xCare

Ok. how do I get rep on upvotes of my content then, do users pay attention to answers, are there sort of answer watchers who upvote stuff? or is it just random

lol, asked that and am seeing a little clippy with a hint box in my screen..

DavidPostill

@xCare Time for you to read the help centre ;) What is reputation? How do I earn (and lose) it?

so it's a random thing then

Clippy

Mostly it is not random (other than who actually reads your question/answer). If you are a good boy you get a gold star otherwise you get spanked ;)

Clippy

I ask on this chat because I don't really know if the question is suited for SU

xCare

oh ic, that's where the +10 rep came from when upvoting the first time, it was because I unlocked a badge or achievement I think

@Clippy yes it's a good place to ask questions.. (I'm guessing you're a bot lol). no offence.

I don't think your website is "directed to children" or "knowingly collects personal information from persons under 13"

The important words being directed or knowingly.

Mokubai

17:02

Aye, generally such regualtions are made to enforce rules on companies that have the ability to collect massive amounts of data (Stack) or the intent to collect data (such as Disney sites directed at kids).

@3v0 If you are not writing SQL queries then it probably shouldn't be on your CV.

3v0

you have to bend the truth within reason though right?

Bob

protip: do not put git repos inside dropbox folders.

brb while I purge my repo and clone from scratch -_-

Mokubai

@3v0 There's bending truth and then there's lying. I know how to kludge SQL to give me data in Python, but that doesn't mean I "know" SQL.

3v0

the apps do manager the databass but as a GUI

manage*

Mokubai

Likewise "I installed MS SQL Server" does not translate to "I know SQL", it's closer to say you know of SQL than you know it.

3v0

18:22

but thats not really easy to word in a CV

' I know of sql'

DavidPostill

Yeah, I know of APL as well but it doesn't mean I can write APL programs (I can't)

Mokubai

Saying you know SQL when you don't would be worse for you. Especially if a job relied on it. Best case is that you simply get "released" from the job in your probation. Worst would be that they subtly hint to your next job prospect that your CV was a lie.

3v0

I wouldnt say its lying as the app is called SQL

but im inexpeirienced with employment

it was like microsoft sql server

Mokubai

"I know how to use an SQL GUI" is only one step above being able to use Excel IMO. Did you play with relationships? Did you actually need to modify the queries? Did you use it to create reports? Did you actually use it?

DavidPostill

Can you write a select statement? Do you know what 3rd normal form is? Do you know how many "Codd's twelve rules" there are? Hint - the answer is not 12. If you can answer all of these without a wackypedia/google search then maybe you can put SQL on your CV. Otherwise +1 @Mokubai

You installed SQL server? That is not using SQL.

3v0

18:27

everybody googles stuff

okay

Mokubai

I've written a database in MS Access, and backed it by an SQL server towards the end. That does not mean I'm an SQL expert.

3v0

hmm

DavidPostill

Yes, but you can't Gargle in your interview.

Mokubai

Your CV can be "fleshed out", that's expected, but not to that extent. SQL can easily be a whole job.

DavidPostill

What's a "stored procedure"?

3v0

18:29

ah right

I don't have any expeirience really of IT in an enterprise

Mokubai

That's fine though, junior positions assume a lot of on-the-job training will be required

Be honest about what you can do though.

3v0

job descriptions tend to have massive lists of 'required' skills

but you probably wont even come across all of them in the actual job

Oliver Salzburg

@BenRichards Next time it happens, press ESC

DavidPostill

The required skills are unfortunately quite often buzzwords that HR are looking for when they place the job ad. Not necessarily what you actually need for the job. Be honest and apply anyway. I got my last job - supporting Video telephony over VoIP - without knowing anything at all about video or VoIP. The important thing was that I knew how to troubleshoot internet connections. The rest I learnt on the job. I ended up as a team leader and trainer for that technology.
