So almost 7 months after the chip requirement for cards and stores still aren't accepting it.
What's the point of accepting it? It's not chip AND pin, it's just a farce.
it seems a lot depends on the card too. My debit card is chip and asks for my pin.

So it only takes one person to have their number stolen for it to cost more than just turning on the chip reader that already exists in their terminal.
Except who has chips? We've asked for nine years now for chips and can't get one. So if no one has them, that's not a risk to stores.
All of mine have them. AMEX, PNC, Capital One, and Citi.

That is just more of Scott being overly dramatic. Typical.
All of mine are chip. None are chip and pin yet.

You are processing the transaction as a debit transaction, not a credit transaction. Those have always been PIN transactions.

Well, it's the "something you have and something you know" thing, which if you recall Bank of America first implemented not by asking for an RSA key or something and a password, but rather a password and some other question, and every other bank followed suite. Regulations mean nothing if no one follows them, and literally nobody follows some of them.
So from pretty secure, to a password and the answer to a question most people can find out reading your Facebook.

Ah ok. At Walmart it required me to use the chip part even as debit. So I figured it was a bank thing.

Got waylaid trying to buy milk last night and had to drink for several hours with the local farmers.

She's not the only one who can climb:

It's a strange world. Man do they drink a lot here.

Just ate one of the cheese sticks I left out for three hours last week.
If you never see me post again, you will know why.

Because you've become a cheese god?

As long as it wasn't trying to crawl off when you bit into it, you should be ok.

Still here. In fact, I ate a SECOND cheese stick. 2016 is truly the year of living dangerously.

Just figured out something in Word 2016. (And possibly previous versions.)
Apparently (at least to me) you can't have any OneDrive files syncing to your PC for Word (and the other Office apps) to be able to access your OneDrive folders online.
I had to totally unlink my account, and then all my online folders showed up, not just the ones on my PC.

Apparently so. Power company killed power to campus today because of a transformer problem. Power was out for about 30 minutes... One of our two DCs had a generator fail to start, so that took a while to get fixed. Then we had a convoluted way of wiring the server room through two big UPSes so that when power came back, we still had 2 smaller UPSes that didn't want to come on.
It's just a big mess... but sorted, and now that I've had my coffee, I'm ready to watch Mr. Radar.
