I am something of an audiophile, and I far prefer that music goes through as few stages as possible between the original and my ears. I didn't start to stream any music until I found a good source of classical music streamed in FLAC on the web. My system is rather analytical, and I can definitely hear the difference between that and MP3. As a result, I prefer to listen to the original CD, although I have ripped some my vinyl to FLAC.
Thus a decent CD catalogue becomes essential.

Last week I went to Italy to program a robot cell...
All went very well and the job was finished as expected, but... My office 365 2 factor authentication decided to stop working, that left me without Outlook and Teams in my PC.
Arrived home and tried to get in touch with Microsoft through chat, they recommended me to change my admin password, which i did (Curiously I could not log in, but change the password, go figure). Then Office apps stopped working in my phone too.
Yesterday (Monday) I called them, explained them the situation, and they promised they would call me. They did it only to tell me that they could not solve it as I was the sole administrator. But that someone would call me soon.
Today (Tuesday) I called them again, same history, same answers... still no call.
So:
- 1 week without mail or Teams access.
- 2 days calling them.
- No answer.
Curiously my personal account works flawlessly.
It seems that if you travel your office 365 gets disconnected as a safety measure to avoid being hacked!

Google is just about as good.
When my primary laptop auto logs in to gmail from a new IP address, I get an email TO THAT DEVICE telling me a strange device has just logged in to my account.

yes, but at least you can keep working... Now I am completely disconnected from my customers, and of course, I keep paying for that service.

It's a feature!
|
|
|
|

They have settings for that type of stuff so it may be that you enabled it without knowing it or maybe it's on by default.
Security is a pain.

Maybe, sure it is on by default then, but 2 complete days without news from them?
WOW!

I'm still avoiding 2FA everywhere I can, no matter how hard "they" try to convince me.
I'd rather live with the perceived increased risk than getting erroneously locked out due to some policies dreamt up by some overzealous admin who never fully thought through all scenarios.

I wish I could. But the user base at my company are not up to keeping their accounts secure nor are the up to NOT clicking on a link sent to them. Sooooo we have MFA

First time buying something on AliExpress... It came almost on time (maybe 10 days later than expected)...
The day after I got it from the post office the status of the parcel updated:
Sorry, parcel is delayed, estimated date of delivery is updated.

You can't just hold off buying until you can buy a bunch of things at once?
I've found some hard to find gear there, and I could pretty easily rack up $50 USD in items per time if I put a little effort into it.
Personally I can't give them up because them and even *gasp* bangood (as a last resort) are the only place I can order certain items

I have seen, but not tried, that AliExpress has the delivery option from within Europe. I assumed that was to circumvent import taxes?

Yes, some shops have "depots" in the EU so maybe there is still hope

Impressive camera for the price! I have a need for several of them to monitor my 20 ac lot in the desert. Last week I had a break-in, costing thousand$ in stolen goods, and damaging my 40' container and 27' travel trailer. I can't be there most of the time, but I could use a cheap way to monitor and capture video of intruders. The cops took a report, but even though I've left multiple messages for an additional report (I found more missing), the cops never return calls, nor does anyone answer the phone. This could be a solution, if I can figure out how to use them. I've had very little luck interpreting Chinese documentation or getting live tech support for things made there.
Will Rogers never met me.

Documentation is a weak point of these Chinese camera's, it also seems the mentioned software for PC's only works on older Windows versions. The mobile apps are fine.
I could get live video from all my camera's using the free iSpy software, see: free-video-surveillance-software[^]

I also spent some time looking for anagrams of "price" with a "Y" in them before realizing it was the 1st today ...
