Wait, why were the cops involved? Normally I just have my CC company send me a new card and move on. Usually they catch it in the first or second transaction, lock the card, and give me a call. Takes five minutes and I can usually talk them into overnighting me a new card.
Went to the store today. THe dude who helped me was appalled, got his manager involved who called his manager. They took all the information down, both of them gave me their cards, the manager guy is calling to follow up. The other guy was beside himself when he heard what happened. He spent a lot of time with me basically teaching me how to change things over, helped me make a plan to switch over to the new laptop.
Meanwhile there is something squirrely with how my email is served with outlook. Turns out when the company sold their email server they split it between 2 other companies. Then the company I got sold to is not the default outlook finds. Manually trying to make it change over isn't working. It says it is syncing folders but then they are not visible anywhere. ALso weird it retrieved sent emails from LONG ago that had been deleted off my email and the server. He thinks outlook may not have patched the issue. Gah. He was the one who made it work on my other laptops so I know he has been successful before. Technology is satan.Last edited by leswp1; 09-26-2020, 09:25 PM.

I would question the cop element also. Not much they can (or will) do, given it's prob internet driven. CC companys just write it off and call it a day. That's what happened with me when my card got hacked earlier this year.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Credit card companies don’t do **** unless it’s like $5k or maybe even higher. Unless it’s someone who literally stole your plastic card, there’s nothing the cops will do.
I’m actually very surprised your bank told you to call the cops. I’m not trying to make fun or anything like that, so I hope this post doesn’t come off that way.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Actually I think it has more to do with transactions taking place in different geographies in impossibly short times.
But you’re not wrong. Mint and Yodlee are the two public-facing versions of them. Mint less so now since it was bought. They’re not going to shut off a credit card because you shopped at a new store. They’re also not Person of Interest in their level of sophistication. But, if you buy a tank of gas in Tennessee five minutes after you buy a load of bread in Minnesota...
Capitalone will flag transactions and call or email. But they only shut it down if they know it’s an issue.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

My baby girl is making grunting noises while in the process of learning to make sounds. It’s pretty standard stuff of course, but to me she sounds like Peter Boyle’s grunts in Young Frankenstein. It’s all I can do not to respond, “Fire’s good, fire’s your friend.” :-D"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Had zero issues with them taking care of it, got a new account, etc, within 48 hours. One exception: I did get called when I bought my membership at Back Channel Brewing (along with some merch and a couple beers) since it was soon after the hack, and that particular bill was $300+ (membership cost $250/year). I confirmed the purchase and all was good.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable.

Over the years, I’ve received two or three confirm calls for fraud. Once it actually was fraud."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

FWIW, I rode the DC Metro (subway) today for the first time since March. I traveled from Wiehle-Reston East to Smithsonian, a 44-minute trip. For roughly the first half, I was the only one in the car, and there never was anyone closer than about 15 feet. When I travel with my bike on Metro, I use the Smithsonian station although it is only the 4th closest from home because the elevator goes directly to the street without having to go to the mezzanine first.

Saw an awesome apartment this afternoon. Brand new building in a complex of eight buildings. If I pull the trigger, I’d be in building 8, it’s not even finished. I love the idea that I’d be the first ever tenant. It’s totally suburbs, borders on a state forest so my apartment faces it. Nice and quiet. Also, they’re offering 1 month free rent. It’s 15 minutes from my mom’s, which is good.
Cons...well, it’s kinda far from the city. Not really that far, but I’m so used to being close to lots of things. Supposedly less than 10 minutes to the commuter rail. And I could drive in. We’re not going back to the office till some time in 2021.
les - it’s in North Billerica. Actually kind of close to Tully Forum (I’m not calling it by its new name).
So, my dilemma. I have to give a deposit. Which will go towards first month’s rent. I’m not 100% sure I want to take it. Do I take the risk, place the deposit? Need to determine if I feel comfortable losing that money.

And also, not going back to the office until at least 2021...is there a possibility you go back to the office at all? And if so, every weekday, or will it be just a day or two?Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable.

Yeah, that is the key question. Leaning towards doing it. ::
Going to have a chat with my new manager tomorrow to talk about working from home more next year. We’re not planning to head back till late Q1 of 2021 and when we start back, I don’t think anyone will really be there five days a week.
