I sent Google a "feedback" on this last year. The spam filter threshold seems to change - some months I have 1 or 2 messages, and the next 50-60. Of course during Christmas the number surges to 100's / week. I understand that the spammers are getting smarter. But I don't get this kind of email at work - and I don't even see it in the external filter. Although I don't sign up for as many online accounts using my corp email. Makes me wonder which forums are leaking my email address.
All of them are either "call me sometime", online pharma Grow your schlong guaranteed, or Buy Watches *Cheap*. And all 50 are the same email with varying number of * between the letters of the subject line. I just don't want these emails.
Sometimes mixed in between are what I'll call legit email, falsely-detected, legit sales offers or UCE. But it's hard to find when 95% is true junk. It would be helpful if the signal to noise ratio was a bit higher.
Yeah exactly! I feel PETA is saying, blah blah blah - use petrol and kill off the animals.
Wait - the "slow food" movement would say "go local."
I'm so confused. Is global warming coming or not?!
As a result of our investigation, we discovered evidence that the systems of some DQ locations and one Orange Julius location were infected with the widely-reported Backoff malware that is targeting retailers across the country. The investigation revealed that a third-party vendor’s compromised account credentials were used to access systems at those locations.
The affected systems contained customers’ names, payment card numbers and expiration dates. We have no evidence that other customer personal information, such as Social Security numbers, PINs or email addresses, were compromised as a result of this malware infection.
Yes but - seems that the color would be more immersive.
My Dad simply put a small lamp with a "10W" nightlight bulb behind his TV that turns on/off through the aux power port on the TV box. The room is pretty dark - even during the day. So this light actually makes it more comfortable to watch TV. I did something similar in my house too.
A simple light - that changes color. That goes to 10. That cool DIY in the link - goes to 11.
A couple of choices (been on both ends of this)
1) hold back on monthly subscription/service fees
2) threaten to sue (need to have proof that it is costing you money - angle is violation of contract)
3) Escalate within your management - let the CTO/CEOs talk to each other.
Yeah - maybe you recommended them and you've learned since then. Don't hide it because somebody will find out soon enough. Be proactive and get internal help figuring out how to solve the problem. Always be professional - you can let them know you are unlikely to buy again but don't needle them on this point. Get a few demos from competitors in the meantime.
If you paid for something and didn't receive it - you have an out. However, if this was some optional component that they were going to develop - then your learning is for next time - get the full demo. I think you are unlikely to get money back to cover your costs - unless it is big (take the CA govt vs Oracle).
As for talking to your management, make sure you can word the conversation in terms of a business case. Talk about how this is costing the business money (with numbers), how the business isn't able to achieve some growth (holding you back).
Memory fault - where am I?
