If you use Google servers for your email, you may start getting a JavaScript error. This is cause by Google no longer supporting “less secure apps”. I have run across this several times with clients who use Microsoft Outlook. Each instance they also has IMAP, however this may apply to POP configurations too. While I disagree that Outlook is a “less secure app”, we have to go with what Google says, not what we think. Regardless if you are getting this pop up when trying to access your mail, the patch is easy.
Over the decades I have sold lots of printers and several brands. I really loved HP and in the 90’s to early 2000’s they were quality laser printers. However, they like other manufacturers, they began to advertise, through retailers, prices that were lower than I could buy from distribution. When someone can walk into Staples and buy a printer for less than a “partner” can, something is wrong. I have tried Ricoh, which are great units, their problem was the toner was double to triple what everyone else’s was. Some toners were the same price but only printed 10% of what the others did. Next, we tried Oki brand. Every single one we sold crapped out in the first year. Then we began to focus on Lexmark and have sold many of their printers.
The cybercrime syndicate behind Babuk ransomware has leaked more personal files belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) after negotiations with the DC Police broke down, warning that they intend to publish all data if their ransom demands are not met. “The negotiations reached a dead end, the amount we were offered does not suit us, we are posting 20 more personal files on officers, you can download this archive, the password will be released tomorrow. If during tomorrow they do not raise the price, we will release all the data,” the gang said in a statement on their data leak site. “You still have the ability to stop it,” it added. The Babuk group is said to have stolen 250GB of data, including investigation reports, arrests, disciplinary actions, and other intelligence briefings. https://thehackernews.com/2021/05/ransomware-gang-leaks-metropolitan.html
Did you ever show up one day and one, two or half the computers in the office won’t connect to a share on another computer, server or NAS? Welcome to the wonderful world of technology. This seems to go in spasms and through different clients. Sometimes it is on a peer-to-peer network, other times it is on a domain. Rarely if ever does it occur on more than one client at a time. This can happen when backups are to run on an NAS, or to a shared database that has worked fine for years. What you ten to get is \\sharename not found. Examples are below.
