Ozz81 posted:Anyhow, electrician comes in, finds a short in the wiring that caused all the outlets to fail, and fixes it. On top of it, he noticed that the 2 sales girls that brought up the problem each have small space heaters, and each heater uses over 15 amps from the socket. The sockets are only rated for a max of 30 amps, so when they had their space heaters on, along with laptops, docks, monitors, and whatever else, part of the problem was an overload on the circuit. Typically, I wouldn't say anything, but we have our office consistently set to 72 degrees, so it's pretty comfortable...no idea why they'd feel so cold when most of the office is either comfortable or asking for heat to be turned down because they're uncomfortable. I work for a hospital that has a business/accounting building off-site, and every year they tell the staff there not to bring in space heaters, and every year they have pull out a half dozen after a few people trip the breakers a couple times.

larchesdanrew posted:I keep seeing the word biometric, and it's just reminding me that our biometric insurance physicals are coming up. The CEO is on a huge health kick all of a sudden, and we used to be able to just get a physical from the doctor or clinic of our choice. This year, they're bringing in people to do the physicals here. Apparently they'll be testing our BMI, cholesterol, blood-glucose, and The correct model would be slight discounts for health goals met. This guy sounds like a shithead.

So they got so mad at you for telling the truth that they hired a contractor? Sounds like a win/win to me.

So do you think that this law firm is going to sue Billy's employer directly, or will they hire a third party to sue them into dust?

Also, make sure you have a cover your rear end folder of documentation and a write up of your point of view backed up to a couple places. I assume you've done most if this, but it doesn't hurt to have a contemporaneous journal of poo poo as it goes down, instead of having to go off of memory when it all blows up.

Put the old hard disk in an enclosure, boot to the recovery partition, open Disk Utility, and copy the old drive to the new one. Basically any time you touch a Mac you are unfamiliar with, you should image the drive with Disk Image, since doing that makes it bootable.

Serious answer to the iPhone issue: reset the phone's network settings: Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings It is a full bore reset and kinda overkill, but that is your best bet to make an iPhone that can't hold a captive portal connection

All physical locks might as well be rated in minutes. All you're adding with them is time before someone detects the attempt at intrusion.
