Microsoft 365 Tenancy Hostile Takeover Options Australia

Hi guys, we had a client whom had a hostile takeover of their 365 admin portal who assumed GA (MFA/OTP and everything was enabled so not sure how it happened but that will need to be investigated after).

Attacker stripped the breakfix account as well and we are kicked out. We logged a job with the MS data governance team whom are barely replying and it's been a day and a half. We've tried calling the number but just get bounced back saying they will look into it. We've asked them to escalate and also asked our CSP to escalate but they said it's with Microsoft. Given the nature of the situation is there any other ways you guys have been able to escalate this to reclaim the tenancy or at least kick out the attackers as fast as possible. We are able to prove ownership of the business etc with domain records/documents etc asap.

Given the no updates I'm straight up thinking of heading to the Microsoft office and sitting there until they can find someone to escalate the case. Anyone had any experience of how to get this moving?

Best Coffee at night

Hi guys, wondering what the best place you can get a coffee is beyond normal cafe hours. Most of the actually good places close at like 4pm or so.

Looking for anywhere around Sydney outside the CBD so I can easily drive/park at to get a coffee say around 6-8pm etc.

Liqui Moly Vs Penrite 5w-30

So for a tonne of my KM's for my golf mk7 I've been getting it serviced at a euro place that uses Penrite 5w-30.

Today I was low on oil and topped up with liqui moly 5w-30 and my engine hasn't sounded this smooth for a long long time even like after a fresh service with full oil change which I do every like 8 months or so.

I don't think it's a placebo either as I'm very OCD with noise in the car.

Previously after researching on here I thought all 5w-30 from a reputable brand was the same as long as it's vw 504 spec. Just wondering if it's worth just providing my own 5L liqui moly each time to my mechanic to service with instead.

RSL's with good food?

Hey guys wondering what rsl's actually have decent food. My elderly family have different tastes and found that rsl bistro's are a good solution that satisfies everyone and also are easy to sat and chill in vs dragging them into a small pub.

I know all do the same stuff and not expecting miracles here but wondering if any of them are better than the others? Eg the schnitzels are not frozen, pizzas are woodfire and the menu isn't just all reheated. Range possibly Strathfield to Cabramatta but happy to try other places if they're good.

We normally do bankstown sports/cabra vale diggers but wanted to try other places.

Misfire Issue

Hi guys, just wanted to get some advice on an issue with my Volkswagen golf mk7 1.4 tsi.

Previously I've had issues where I see logged misfires every 10000km or so but they occur on different cylinders, I never noticed it while driving but just see them on my obd11.

I have replaced all the spark plugs, coil packs and had the car walnut blasted to clean the intake valves.

Today it was a kind of cold day and I started the car and heard the engine stuttering instantly and then engine light was flashing. I turned the car off and then turned it on in 10 seconds later and car started and drove fine. Anyone have any clue what it could be?

Thanks

Xl2566k vs 2566x

Hi guys, looking at buying a new monitor looking a new monitor to replace my xl2546k. Looking at a used xl2566k vs a used xl2566x+.

The xl2566x is like 1.7x the price. Wondering if anyone has compared both the screens and can say if there's a noticeable difference in clarity? Will be playing cs2.

Thanks

Heater not working after upgrading headunit

So I had someone upgrade my headunit on my golf with a newer retrofitted MIB2. As soon as the upgrade was done my heater stopped working, i never put two and two together and did the basic checks. Silica bag was fine, don't have an n82 valve, blend door was fine, reset HVAC with the buttons, flushed the cooling system etc...

I gave up on it but then saw someone had run into the exact same issue when upgrading to a newer headunit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/VWMK7/comments/1qnc9jt/heating_faulty/

I don't have any errors at all on obd11. Wondering if anyone has done the upgrade and had something similar, i'm not sure if there's something around the area of the glove unit/screen that can be knocked or if there's any extra coding or something that needs to be checked or done?

Thanks

Coconut Water Rankings

Hello fellow coconut water enjoyers, as someone who drinks probably a litre and a half a day of it here are my thoughts on coconut water here. Now let's get this out of the way, none of these will beat a fresh coconut. If anyone knows where to get those small round ones you can get in Vietnam and Asia let me know. In my books that is a 10 and a normal coconut you can get here is a 8.5. The ratings below are in comparison to them.

First of all for the unaware coconut water goes on a typical sales cycle at woolies/coles where they rotate in price. You're aiming to pay $2.75 at either store. Amazon will price match in 6 packs on those weeks and you can get it delivered with prime if you don't want to carry a heap of them through the shopping centre.

H20 Coco 1L 7/10

This is the king of coconut water here, it tastes natural and is not overly sweet and has the highest skillcap of what you can get bottled (aka the good bottles are really good). Only drawback is there is a variance to them I feel like some of the bottles don't taste as sweet sometimes. Only get it from coles/woollies, don't ever buy this on Amazon as feel like more of the bottles are bad, I feel like how a shop stores it probably makes a difference. Shoutout to the lychee flavour if you want to mix it up although don't ever buy the canned ones for some reason drinking it out of a can tastes weird.

Cocobella 1L 6.8/10

Close second and arguably the best if you want consistency. You won't ever get a bad bottle like h20 coco, has a naturalish coconut flavour and is always sweet. You know what you get and it'll taste the same everywhere, this is safe to buy from amazon.

Tipco 1L 6.5/10

This is a bit harder to find and you can get it from amazon/harris farm. Arguably has the best flavour out of all and it is the sweetest. It states that is 100% coconut water but I don't trust it because of how uniform it tastes. Feels like there is a sweetener so it tastes a bit artificial to me but if you don't get that vibe from it then this would be like a 8/10 taste wise. I pick on it a lot so I have to rank it a bit down.

Raw C 1L 4.5/10

This is probably a hot take putting it so low but something about this puts me off. It tastes and smells natural, but natural in a way an oldish or stale coconut would taste like this is like the bad bottle of h20 coco but concentrated. Not much sweetness in it but I do know people who like this flavour profile.

Raw C 2L 4/10

Despite having to use my teeth to open these throughout the years I was still a fan of this, was uniformly coconut and not too sweet but quality in the last year has gone to shit. This is sometimes cheaper than the rest even though it's refrigerated but it tastes 30% watered down to what it used to taste like, it tastes watered down but like they added something to keep it smelling coconuty. This used to be a solid 6.5/10.

Haven't tried any of the home brand ones and this just includes the pure coconut waters since flavoured ones are more subjective. If anyone wants to enlighten me on other ones to try please let me know.

Facet Lane Lab Grown Diamonds Rings Australia

Hi guys, so a while back I asked for some advice here about a shop in Australia and was recommended a few shops. Was given cullen jewellery, novita, gs diamonds which were all similarly priced etc. But in the comments a couple people talked about Facet Lane. I went to the website and gawked at the diamond prices, they were like 30% cheaper than any other place in Australia.

I was then intrigued and did some research but was sceptical because there aren't google reviews and only a few reviews on here from people who quite frankly didn't have much of a post history. I asked the same question on ozbargain and someone else commented there too. I decided to give it a shot hoping for the best and at worst relying on my credit card chargeback if it wasn't real.

I decided to email them to ask a questions and get a feel and Sophie the owner replied and was great, me using initial chatgpt research had looked up what specs I could afford and plugged that in every website and picked the cheapest options of that spec.

Sophie helped me giving recommendations that included specs that aren't just the 4c's that effect how they look in person with stuff like brilliance/fire that you can't tell from the 4cs. Then I chose a setting and decided to get it custom as the ones on the website weren't to my partners liking, she sent a few revisions before I ok'd it. About 6-7 weeks later I received the ring in the mail and was shocked. As with my scepticism I went to DCLA who are a place that certifies diamonds and they tested the diamond and told me it was real and the same one as I picked on the IGI certificate.

I can't recommend them enough, with how cheap it was I managed to get my partner something way better than what I could have got locally. For reference I also messaged novita before and they were happy if I had bought the diamond from there and paid a setting fee if you still want it set locally for support. Regardless I can't recommend them enough their customer service is great and I seriously question now how these other stores are getting away with charging what they charge for the same stones.

Proper German Kebab

There is finally a German kebab place in Sydney now.

I'm going to start this off with a rant which will lead into the review. Skip the next 2 paragraphs if you don't care.

So I was in Europe last year and spammed German style doner wherever I went, i had it in multiple countries from shitty tourist traps in train stations to food trucks to the real deal in Germany where I was eating it twice a day. Now while quality obviously varied they were all still the same dish and had a taste to it which is reminiscent.

Going back to this sub, since it's inception whenever someone brings up German style kebab people will start parroting Berlin Food bunker (especially after Spanians opened this went up 10 fold by people who wanted to seem more cultured knowing about this "real" German place). If you had anything in Germany you'd know that Berlin Food Bunker tastes NOTHING like an actual kebab you get in Germany, it's not just a bad version of it but it's not the dish entirely. I had something similar when I requested recommendations here for a Vietnamese dish I love and I tried some of the suggestions and none apart from 1 were an accurate reflection of a dish. Like the people who recommended it can't have had the real thing then knowingly suggested it. It's like asking for a suggestion for Japanese ramen then people suggesting a place that sells Maggi beef noodles. End rant....

Kebup Bonnyrig

So after coming back there was no real option for a German kebab here but I saw a post on Instagram and dropped what I was doing and drove for an hour to get there. Basic food truck with a few seats in front and ordered the beef on Turkish bread with the lot and spicy. (It's not actually spicy so just get this one). I'd order the same thing if you were looking for a recommendation. Definitely get it in the Turkish bread option.

Got an instant dopemine rush as I bit into it, the flavour profile was exactly the same as in Germany. My favourite place in Germany was Sendling Spezial in Munich (try it if you're over there) which I spammed and I'm pretty sure the owner has based his sauces from that place as he mentioned he was from Munich.

The sauces are about 80% the same and he's managed to balance the flavour profile of the bread/meat/veg with the sauce. Now obviously being in a truck the ingredient/meat/bread quality aren't as good obviously as a store in Germany but I'd say it's a good representation of an actual German Kebab and beats the brakes off any Sydney Lebanese style kebab.

They were missing the feta style cheese though which I did see on their instagram but wasn't an option on the menu, I'd also give the chips a miss they were pretty basic just with a fine salt/pepper mix, wouldn't waste room on them. For the first time if you want a German Doner kebab you can now get one here. It's really tasty and I think the place will blow up soon.

6head what to order?

Going to 6head for the first time and wondering what items are good to order, eyeing off the wagyu tomahawk but wondering how big is their range of dry aged stuff that isn't on the menu?

Are there any better things I should look for, also any particular entrees and sides I should get or avoid?

Thanks

Antifog product?

So back when I was into detailing like 5 years ago there was no actual good product at using on your interior windshield that would stop fogging from your breath. Wondering if any new products that come out that can help with this?
