Banned on first day of enterprise subscription; three weeks later have not reached a human at Anthropic

I work for a medium-sized global business (mostly US, also offices in Europe and Asia) with a few thousand employees. Three weeks ago, IT announced we purchased an enterprise subscription. I was able to log in via corporate SSO (Azure AD) but a few minutes later my account was banned along with hundreds of my colleagues. Some users still have access.

Many of us who were banned filed immediate appeals. IT has been trying daily to reach customer support but three weeks later they have yet to reach a human and none of our appeals have been heard.

I recognize our situation is not unique but it seems crazy that a paying enterprise cannot get a response in three weeks.

Any creative ideas for getting past automated support or otherwise getting the service we are paying for?

Is it possible to have good-looking tooltips on MacOS with Tkinter?

I'm writing a cross-platform GUI. I started with tkinter but switched to customtkinter in an attempt to achieve a more modern look-and-feel. I'm stuck on tooltips: they look fine enough on Windows and Linux (even if not quite "native") but on MacOS they are ugly. Not just non-native but transparency fails and the edges are clipped.

I first tried idlelib.tooltip and then ctktooltip. But they both look bad, e.g. this screenshot.

I also thought it might be possible to leverage native cocoa tooltips via pyobjc but it seems like the tkinter model is completely different from MacOS's native window management that this would be difficult and buggy.

Am I missing a practical alternative solution, short of rewriting the entire application to depend on a QT-based library?

Left/right-alt specific hotkeys started requiring double press when Outlook is open

Just recently--most likely with a Outlook (Classic) update--my ALT hotkeys started requiring double press in quick succession to work. I have never seen anything like this before. CTRL hotkeys still work fine.

I've tried:

  • Using ALT & key rather !key to define the shortcut
  • Prepending $
  • A_MenuMaskKey := "vkE8"

Any suggestions for how to further troubleshoot?

I'm on Outlook 365 Version 2606 (20105.200000 Click-to-Run), Windows 11 25H2 (26200.8246).


Figured it out! It turns out it wasn't an Outlook update, but rather a PowerToys update. If I disable the PowerToys Grab and Move utility, my alt shortcuts work again. So now the question is whether there is any way for AHK to intercept alt keybindings and not be edged out by this PowerToy, or if I just need to disable the PowerToy.
