I haven't got anything, yet. If Google will reject RFC 5322 non compliant messages, that means their outbound messages ae already compliant, and only incoming messages will be evaluated. It will probably not have to do with existing messages either. And since you have no control over incoming messages, there isn't anything you can do.

Imagine this:

The bug is reported to the Binance software development team and comes to the person who originally wrote the code. The dev looked at the bug report, recognized he screwed up originally by using bad or lazy code. But if he admits it, he is afraid his manager will reprimand him. So instead, he reports back claiming this bug is bogus. Manager doesn't care, or takes his word for it, bounces it back to the OP. However, the developer immediately starts working on code fix and submits it to the pipeline to be deployed in production ASAP.

Should this scenario happen? No! Does it happen? All the time, on software development teams that have no proper change control, or where vulnerabilities are not reviewed by a separate secops team.

Same problem

Discussion Also experienced an unexplained huge consumption of data. Any ideas?

First, your Fi app caclulates it from the date of renewal. Your phone calculates it from a date you define as the start date. These 2 dates may not be aligned.

But say they do. It has happened that Fi reports ghost data. It's usually something bad with the Fi app, or a leaking system process. I remember people left Fi because the Fi app kept reporting data when they had put the phone in Airplane mode with WiFi only enabled.

You can choose to do nothing, or contact Fi support and have them investigate, you can do some personal troubleshooting, restart phone, or even reset phone in extreme circumstances, the solution will vary on that and what the problem is.

Yeah, thanks.

Per one of the pics, something devoured 40 gigs in a single day. As shown, no tethering or whatever. No erroneous apps gone wild that my phone saw.

That large of a number is pretty questionable since I'm not streaming HD movies or moving a ton of files.

Anyway, I submitted a ticket/report. But honestly, I figure I'm going to have to live with the mild inconvenience of being throttled for the next two weeks of my billing cycle. Since I doubt they're willing or able to actually do something.

Fool, this car was involved in a drive-by shooting. This is exactly the activity police are paid to do. What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Is this your car??

I also don’t understand the reasoning to not have front plates. It makes no sense at all. And don’t give me anything about the cost 5 bucks isn’t gonna kill ya

The reason is ROI for the money spent vs what you get back. When emergency lines aren't staffed, calls to 911 go unanswered, police only investigate crimes of certain degree of severity, what is the point of having 2 plates vs 1?

I can tell you, even if there was a front plate, and it wasn't fake r stolen, and police knew about the plate information, they will not do anything unless someone died.

You may want to get her on a dedicated email address system: you create new email addresses based on categories (typically what you would have folders for) personal (no accounts)/financial/shopping/travel/medical/legal/marketing/social media, etc. When there is a data breach of a company, you will replace the affected category's email address and update the accounts.

New email addresses will not get these spam/scam unless they are leaked. What's great about this is you don't have to set up filters to organize your email. I have 30 email accounts, no spam, I don't even filter it. Last spam message was 5 yrs ago when a hotel chain was breached.

Way too complex!

Gmail and Outlook both support the + format. If your email is bob@gmail for example, you can do

  • Bob+wellsfargo@gmail for Banking

  • Bob+lululemon@gmail for your online shopping

  • Bob+redditkink@gmail for your Reddit kinks

Etc ... Possibilities are endless.

I'm glad they do that, but they are missing the boat tossing all of those into inbox (unless they changed something), you have to filter those back out and the root (primary) email is still exposed to data breaches....although I'm not sure if a bad actor would take the time to root it out.

Ok, I guess there is a trade-off between managing a growing number of mailboxes vs labels. An even simpler solution would be to pay for a Google Workspace account with a custom domain. As an admin, you can create unlimited aliases that all go to distribution lists, or even your mailbox and that's more manageable than what you propose.

I looked up my phone number and yes it is listed under my information, however the woman who my boss keeps getting ahold of, when we spoke on the phone she confirmed digit for digit my exact phone number, which her free texting app gave her as a generated available phone number to use. She's refusing to change the number, so at this point I'm going to change my phone number and change providers so this issue doesn't happen again in the future. I've honestly never heard of this happening, but when you type in your own phone number and a stranger answers its alarming. She wouldn't tell us which app she is using, so I'm unable to provide the "proof" the service reps keep asking for.

It sounds unbelievable but it's been happening for months now and I'm getting no where.

This sounds like a cellphone provider which hasn't got the memo this number is reserved. The problem will continue even if you port out and needs to be fixed by the telecom company that allowed this to happen. My guess is T-Mobile/GoogleFi technical support will have to reach out to the other telecom company.

What service is your boss using? Is it only happening with your boss #? What happens if someone else,like friends text your number?

You need to do some prep work and open a case with provider.

I have asked them to look into this but they need proof which I am unable to provide. My boss uses Verizon and her calls and texts only ever go to this other person. My boyfriend uses Verizon and has never reached this other person. My mom uses Google fi and is able to reach me. And my friend / coworker uses a track phone and is also unable to contact me but reaches the other person.

The past few responses I have gotten from customer service can be condensed into "we assure you this number is only associated with [my email] under [my name] at [my service address.] " and that continues to be sent to me as an automated response.

I am unsure what to do besides switch phone numbers as the woman we keep reaching wouldn't tell us exactly which "free text and calling app" she was able to access my phone number with.

Thank you very much for your insight, I'm just really unsure how to go forward with their support team at this point when I have limited information and the other party is uncooperative in telling me what service she used to access my number, and unwilling to change her number to an available one.

You would have to persist and have them escalate to higher tier. Unfortunately this can only be solved by the telecoms.

It's been many decades since I've heard of *69. It's not listed as an available short code on either https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6202313?hl=en or https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/self-service-short-codes

Could you not just press the "missed call" notification or the latest call in your Phone app/Recent calls list?

*** 67 works, why not *** 69. Someone called with blocked caller id using 67 but I couldn't reverse find them.
