Just screaming into the void here…

They send phishing tests that have our email sigs, logos, and everything on them. Way more complex and detailed than any actual phishing scam email.

Then when I go to book support I get a bare bones no email sig no logo email that links to an external booking system that’s non-standard for the company.

Actually wild and undermines all the annoying phishing scam email tests.

My manager is veryyyyy disorganised and does everything last minute.

They never look at our planning board and just ask for updates via teams.

They send me meeting requests which have been in the calendar for months day of and ask me to reschedule everything to accommodate and to come prepared.

They ignore anything that’s in my calendar and book over it with “high priority” meetings.

It’s chaotic and drives me crazy.

How do I push back on this without ending up on a PIP.

I’ve been trying to sort this out for a few weeks but had no luck.

Setup
I am with Superloop 50/20 plan.
Router TP link AX10 Archer.
Connected various devices wifi and Ethernet.
FTTP in an apartment building, NBN box in my apartment.
Router directly connected with cat6 cable.
Located in Melbourne

Since speeds got upgraded I haven’t seen a change.

When I use speed Ookla and Testmy.net I get pretty much 50/20 on wifi or Ethernet on my MacBook, iPhone, and PC.

Whenever I download large files my speed caps out at about 6mbps. This happens on steam, P2P, from web browser like SharePoint, or downloading like adobe installers as a test. On Mac and Pc. Wifi and wired.

Whenever I enable my Superloop speed boost my speeds go up to about 13mb

What I’ve tried:
Reset and power cycled nbn box
Reset and power cycled router
Replaced old Optus router with TP link
Connected directly to box (previously through internal wall wiring to lounge room)
Superloop support checked everything from their end no issues they could see
Changed MTU to 1472 (advice from steam forums)
Ran resource monitor and task manager and watched network traffic for anything suspicious processss - all negative.
Tried super loops “refreshify” tool multiple times, it runs for 10 mins, resets my network and returns an error “refreshify has lost connectivity to NBN try again”.
Checked network for unknown devices - none

I have no idea what to do now.

I’m rereading HTN and something just jumped out to me.

Major spoilers for HTN and NTN from here.

In Act 5, Ch 46 when the mithraeum is being invaded by heralds. Gideon as Harrow comes across Mercy and mercy says the following

“So now you come to me first. Now you come… at the end of everything… no… no

You haven’t come have you? That freak would have gone for me already. She could never act human. But you stand like a human.”

So Mercy thinks Harrow is Alecto?

She is describing Alecto but why??

Harrow doesn’t look like Alecto?

Is it because Gideon as Jod’s child has some kind of similar aura and a connection to Alecto?

Or is she just mad from herald psychic damage and is just making a mistake?

My partner (autistic) is really over extending herself with work and life.

When she tells me her experiences and when I see her i can see all the warning signs of a bad burnout coming.

But she won’t hear me when I try and gently caution her about it. Encourage her to rest, step back from some things, just slow down.

She’s stuck in such a rigid mindset and can’t see or like think about changing course, whenever I try to talk about it the response is “no I just have to do this”. I know what that’s like because I get like that too.

It’s so hard, it makes me so sad. I don’t want her to go through burnout and it’s so painful to watch it happen in slow motion.

I’m thinking of changing from Superloop and looking for recommendations.

I need a provider who has direct routing Melbourne to Singapore / Asia for gaming.

I used to be with Optus but they routed all their traffic via Sydney so my ping was horrendous. Talking 200+ with Optus and about 70-80 with Superloop.

So today I tried dex for the first time.

I’ve been feeling very calm and it’s kind of weird.

I’ve also been napping and tired which seems… really at odds with the idea of stimulants?

Has anybody else experienced this? My psych didn’t mention it at all.

Does anybody have advice or any recommendations for tinted glasses? I’ve been recommended FL41 but gosh they are pricy.

I want to get some tinted glasses for everyday wear and driving at night to help with light sensitivity.

I’m currently wearing my sunnies indoors most of the time, which is okay, but I’d prefer something a little less heavy. And obviously this is not suitable for nighttime driving.

I only need reading glasses, so these would just be for light sensitivity.

My Keychron M5 mouse has an extra wheel on the side that id like to bind some actions to.

The wheel is recognised by my PC and works fine in other apps and games. But I can’t assign anything to it in Apex.

Is there a fix for this at all?

Does anybody know any artists in Melbourne who do good, complex, cybersigilism style tattoos?

So tonight I’ve been finding an absurd amount of backpacks in each POI. Literally like 4+ blue bags… more like 6 and at least one purple. In pills and on the ground.

Is anyone else getting this? It’s bizarre.

I always do this at work, I’ll connect the dots between a bunch of different points and explain it to the people I’m working with, and they will be like “wow you’re right! Can you write that down??”

And then it’s just completely departed from my mind.

I’ve got 3 planters on my balcony that have an inbuilt watering system that’s part of the building.

I asked the building manager about replacing them, he said be careful of the watering system.

I emailed the OC manager about 12 months ago asking if there’s any issue with me removing the current plants and planing new ones.

I’ve gotten around to wanting to replace them again.

Do I need OC approval? Is lack of response implicit approval?

Hiya looking for some help with what might be wrong with my 2011 manual Impreza. 190,000kms, serviced every 5k including oil changes, all major services done, and very well cared for. Next is engine timing belt.

Taken it to my mechanic and they are unsure of the problem, said it MIGHT be the catalytic converter and they can replace it, but might be something else. I’m not keen to pay for a new cat converter on a maybe tbh.

Here’s what happens:
1 - when accelerating quickly, like merging on freeway, at 70kmph+ the engine will stutter and the car will shake when I hit 3k RPM. Trying to push it beyond 3k makes it worse. Shifting gears avoids it.

2 - doesn’t happen in 1st or 2nd at similar or higher revs

3 - accelerating slowly doesn’t cause the issue until around 110kmph in 5th.

4 - the RPM needle visibly wobbles before it happens approaching 3k rpm

5 - happens going uphill and on the flat, worse uphill

6 - doesn’t happen when downshifting too early and revs jump up over 4k

Down in point Lonsdale for a week and craving some golden crunchy soft fluffy chips 🤤

Don’t mind driving a bit to get them…

So where should I go??
