My wife has a free #Kroll Monitoring account from a previous data breach.
She was just the victim of a new data breach ( #DentaQuest).
Kroll, which is shitty because all of the monitoring services are shitty, won't let her add the free 24 months of identity monitoring from […]

I'm working in #MicrosoftPlanner inside the #MicrosoftTeams app on macOS. I highlight some text in a task and click the hyperlink button to add a link.
The pop-up for entering the link URL pops up _behind_ the pop-up that's already open for the task I'm editing.
This doesn't […]

I send an abuse complaint to [email protected].
1und1.net reroutes the complaint to [email protected], _and rewrites the To: header of my email to contain that address_, which it REALLY SHOULD NOT DO.
versatel.de rejects the email because DMARC verification failed. Of course it […]

@jik.federate.social.ap.brid.gyI’m on the fence about whether today’s tech bitching thread qualifies for #TechIsShitDispatch, since it’s entirely about open-source software and I’m not sure it’s entirely fair to lump in #FOSS software with all tech being shit. Having said that, part of this relates to a significant usability […]
@jik.federate.social.ap.brid.gyIt’s time for a #TechIsShitDispatch-apalooza!
One of my colleagues recently made some updates to a Markdown file we share in #OneDrive. Today I want to review his changes. This should be easy: it’s a text file, so I should just be able to download the last version I edited yesterday from the […]

I use fingerprint login for the @1password app on my #Android phone. It usually works fine. Except when it doesn’t.
This morning when I attempted to auto-fill a login username in Vivaldi, 1Password’s login screen refused to display the fingerprint login prompt, and instead […]

Today I received an email message from #BlueShieldOfCalifornia telling me there was a message waiting for me in the “Message Center” on their portal:
