True, Lexus is a Toyota brand, and at least historically shared a lot of parts with Toyota cars, so maintenance wasn't always crazy. In the case of Audi, they might be quite reliable, but I know repairs/maintenance, when needed, is very expensive.

The trick is, luxury cars drop in value insanely fast. A 2 year old Audi is often about the same price as a new Honda. The problem these people don't account for is maintenance costs. They think they are getting a deal, then they are getting dragged down by an unreliable vehicle that they can't afford to fix.

For a new car? $25k is a pretty low price, at least in the US. My car was $24k new 10 years ago. It wasn't particularly special then.

If we judged citizens based on what their government does, I don't think many of us would come out clean. As an American, I don't want the whole world thinking that I agree with what the Feds are up to all the time. I recommend extending that same courtesy to people in countries who's government you don't like as well.

That is specifically not true of Apple. They don't make drivers for Linux, and often change components which means there are several Apple devices that are really hard to run Linux on. The touchbar MacBooks are a nightmare for Linux, and the ARM Macs are slowly getting support, but it is sub par last I looked.

There is a place for using LLMs to fluff up text or help with translation, but you shouldn't by copy/pasting blindly, or just scripting it out 100%.

The true failure here is Amazon, who takes no responsibility for what they sell. They let anyone anyone create a product listing with no oversight.

They do have an Asset Library currently, but it is all free, thus not a store.

Thanks, that helps. I shared this with the mspgeek.org community to see if anyone else is seeing it.

Do yours have an onmicrosoft.com account CC'd? Both cases we have seen have had a different onmicrosoft.com account CC'd.

Where seeing it as well. I'm unsure what the scam is. The ticket systems we saw don't have any obvious connection to our industry. It is a lot of noise, but it wasn't like a coverup spam, because it hit multiple users in the org at once. Really a strange thing.

I've spent most of my life thinking I wasn't good enough to be a Google engineer, but as I got older, I realized that they aren't smarter, they just had a better resume. I don't doubt that some of them are way smarter than me, but most of them are just smart, or at least domain smart.

I have a laser etcher. Through trial and error, I got it to produce black and white images on wood. So it's now a laser photo printer. Just change one axis to move the material instead of the head and you have an open laser printer.
