TCRT 8: Episode 3 - Revenge of the TCRT thread

[Corazon de Leon]

Might be because I didn't sleep well last night but I keep seeing the bush next to my window outside in the corner of my vision and thinking it's an ambulance. Turning to look at it, I can see it looks like a bush and not an ambulance.

It's a train not an ambulance.

I choo-choo-choose you!

That's nothing, my neighbour has every hedge in her garden trimmed to the size and shape of a green bin.

I just had an email from Microsoft (legit email) with a code to reset my password, does this mean someone is trying to log into my account?

[OrangeRKN]

Quite possibly someone submitted your email in a "I've forgotten my password"

Set up 2 factor authentication if you haven't already

Is it worth changing my password?

Yes yes yes. Also after you've done that and set up 2FA, have a look at the login history and you will be able to see if someone tried to access your account and from where.

A few years ago we were in America and I'd forgotten to print out the tickets we'd bought for the space centre, so I had to use the public ones in our hotel and access my emails. After we were done I said to my wife that I bet my account gets compromised now. Sure enough, there was a login attempt on my account not long after.

Even if that email appears legit, don't follow any links in it to change your password - go directly to the relevant microsoft website yourself and do it that way.

Top tip: Post your password in this thread that way you'll never forget it.

My company runs a service called an APA. Just seen two invoices sent out this year where the acronym APA was misspelt.

Hi Mori

Just for the avoidance of doubt, could you confirm the correct spelling of APA?

Don’t want anymore mix ups.

Happy Birthday Alpha Bear. Please buy a PS5 without telling your missus and see how long it takes for her to notice.

Also Happy Birthday BTB.

Did anyone watch that Lord of the Rings Skype reunion thing?

I loved it

Although, not a huge fan of the presenter.

And, Arwen (Liv Tyler), did she do a lot of drugs as a youngster, she seemed rediculous full of love, probably all an act.
