Teamviewer still prompts for confirmation in saved computer contacts when unattended access is setup

The issue. I click connect, and it prompts the other computer for a confirmation....no idea why that started. This was the only computer that did it. You just, unfortunately have to uninstall and reinstall.

Google Mail (GMail) Back Up

Best tool for backing up all things Google is with something called Google Takeout. See an article describing it here: https://www.howtogeek.com/216189/how-to-create-and-download-an-archive-of-all-your-google-data/

You can directly access the location here: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

Cannot Locate Contact after restoring the contact from "recently deleted" in GSuite

Another admin accidentally deleted an account instead of suspending it in GSuite. I went to "Recently Deleted Contacts" and restored the user, but was unable to find them in the Console under "Users." It turns out when you restore unfortunately, it won't appear in the console under "Users" until google propagates it which could take up to 24 hrs. If you want to check the status manually, go to "Admin Console" > " Apps" > "G Suite" > "Gmail" > "Email Addresses" Then you can see his account there, and suspend it.

ISE Project Navigator crashes opening up a project

As stated in the subject, I ended up finding the solution here:
https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Design-Entry/ISE-12-3-crashing-on-file-open/td-p/107305

Running Windows 10 x64, Xilinx ISE 14.7

Pasted below for posterity
------------------

For everyone trying to use Xilinx ISE 14.5 in Windows 8 x64.

Rename libPortability.dll to libPortability.dll.orig, and copy libPortabilityNOSH.dll to libPortability.dll.

Do this in:
C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64
C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\common\lib\nt64 (copy dll from first location)

This turns off SmartHeap.

This will fix ISE and iMPACT crashes on file dialogs.

Word Cross-Reference Pop-up Menu is not Appearing

Working on my journal and word isn't helping me out. Turns out there is a bug for multiple monitor setups:

You need to
  1. Close out all instances of Word
  2. Re-open the file
  3. Move Word to a different window
  4. Click on Cross References again

Need to find which USPS has my Package?

I had a huge problem where USPS claimed there wasn't enough room in the mailroom to leave my package, so they took it back to the post office instead of leaving it at the door. They left a pink note....but didn't put the post office location on the back! When this happens you can do 2 things:
  1. call the 1-800 number and wait for 40 min to ask a person OR
  2. http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/AddressCheck.asp 
The melissa data is actually crazy useful, I did both and turned out melissadata was right so I could have saved 40 min :(

Gmail Multiple Inbox Not Displaying

I've been recently forced to do some migration of my main emails to another one. I decided to setup multiple inboxes in gmail following these instructions: here

Unfortunately it would not display, thankfully the solution was to turn off all the other tabs with exception to "primary" see here
