No real laws broken unless they are told to leave an don't. They are impersonating the apple "employee" which is a fictitious thing. So impersonation laws wouldn't apply unless they were impersonating a specific employee. You could get a pretty major civil suit though for liable, slander, assaulting customers, damages etc.

A quick peak shows the IOWait averages are way down on the machines that I am looking at. Will need more time to really tell. Tomorrow evening we will have a much better idea.

Me too 🙂

Wow hold only last 5 or so min.

They are in fact charging in arrears.

Since the system tried to charge me $1.55 for the extra day of this month since the last billing, and my card denied their transactions - the person is telling me that they can't return the last month's charge because of the hang up from the 'final charge.'

At least I know things are setup correctly on my CC side and they won't be charging me anymore.

How did you fool it?

I've heard that Kinect constantly gets people wrong. It will be interesting to see how fool proof they can make this.

I got his comment that you won't be able to use a selfie or such based on the tech and algorithms used..

That was addressed in the video.

You're late 🙂

Oh, okay. Well that's good 🙂

On a side note, anyone using C@C? I can't paste into the console window. Should I setup SSH first before trying to install this so I can use something like PUTTY?

Console window is a VNC session, it's graphical. You can't paste into those. No different than any KVM solution or OOB Management. Use an SSH session once your system is up and running.

Does anyone think this could be a performance issue?

I used the MS tools of the time to move to Exchange 2007, then migrated to Exchange 2010.

I was guessing that too, that Exchange auto generated this for one reason or another.

That is awesome. I'll be showing that to the daughters in the morning.

If this is how he behaves about things so incredibly easy and public as SQL language, databases, relational theory, HTML, etc. imagine the crap that he says when acting "as a doctor." I fear for the poor souls whose lives he puts at risk.

Refraining from ranting

We already do that. It has helped a little, but people call when they call. They want results, etc.

Most calls are not for new business, so it's not a like a company who wants to make sure they answer the phone 90% of the time, or more, to ensure the most business. But at the same time we don't want pissed off patients who can't call and get results in a reasonable time either.

The one thing I'm not hearing are patient complaints. Sure someone might complain to the person they finally get to, but currently we don't track those, maybe we should. And we definitely aren't getting an inordinate amount of patients calling asking for the 'boss' so they can complain about a problem getting through on the phone. If that happened regularly, I'm sure we'd look at adding more staff to take care of that problem.

There we go, thanks!

@Carnival-Boy if only more people had that attitude. Good companies do, but in the SMB space those are few and far between. We have good, long term clients that work that way, but generally only after a long time of having been on site and knowing the techs personally.

The UK was specifically who I was thinking of. But there was a recent article where someone was stopped in France and required to unencrypt his drive before he could fly.

"Before he can fly" is a bit different. The UK and the US are the two that don't protect privacy. The UK is not like the rest of Europe at all. The UK takes a lot of heat on that side of the pond for their American-like policies.

If OEM is included then I may look at refreshing our existing Windows 7 estate with new memory and disks rather than entirely new machines this year.

Pretty much a guarantee. They can't claim that "most" are covered if OEM is not as it must cover well over 90% of all deployments. If I were to guess, it must be over 99%. Other than a few gamers building their own and a handful of IT people, who has anything that isn't OEM except very special cases?

Think it just auto-downloaded..

Yup, the Mozilla Maintenance Service at work.

The quality of this cable appears to be pretty nice - I just threw away our first Samsung cable because it's not reliably charging devices anymore. Thought i'm not sure if it's the cable or the connector.

I was going to use it for a company I look after who need a new, simple website and currently have Office 365. Microsoft marketing indicated that this would be a reasonable thing for me to do. I never got round to it and that option has been taken away - which is almost certainly for the best.

When it was free it made some sense, although the effort to do this was high. SharePoint takes a lot more work than, say, WordPress and the performance is not there.

They are definitely not using SQRL. They are only using a QR code with an embedded nonce to do side channel authentication.

But it's a first step. It will take very little effort for LMI to use full out SQRL. Actually I'm not sure what they are waiting for?
