Was never supposed to be an "enterprise" piece of equipment anyway. It's part of their Small Business line, which used to be called Linksys. Thus why it has an HTML-based gui, craptastic security, etc. If you want decent hardware with the Cisco name, prepare to spend around $1,000 for an ASA 5500 series, and then another $500+ for an Aironet to get the wireless. You get what you pay for, and Cisco has never been cheap. If the product is cheap, then expect issues like there. I finally gave up on my RW180 because it just wouldn't keep the PAT going after a few hours. Even when their tech remoted in and checked that it was all set up properly, it still died after less than a day and required a reboot to get it to work again. So far, the $25 small form factor Dell with PfSense is running far better and has had zero issues.
Shouldn't that be the "terrorists" or "hackers" or whatever going dark? "Going dark" is slang for going silent, off-grid, etc. Nothing short of the destruction of the USA as a country, or a total de-funding the FBI, would ever make the FBI itself "go dark". That would have to be some pretty AMAZING crypto to make the FBI shut down all their offices, all their employees disappear, etc.
RTW doesn't matter in regards to the WARN Act. Once the firings reach a certain point, specifically "Mass Layoff: A covered employer must give notice if there is to be a mass layoff which does not result from a plant closing, but which will result in an employment loss at the employment site during any 30-day period for 500 or more employees, or for 50-499 employees if they make up at least 33% of the employer's active workforce." That's why he's claiming the firings are not actually performance based but are being labeled as such in a blatant attempt to circumvent federal labor law.
Hopefully they will split these into multiple lawsuits; one for discrimination and another for violations of the WARN Act. Discrimination can take a long time to prove but the WARN Act part should be a slam-dunk.
Per TFA: " The court filing said that managers were forced to give poor rankings to a certain percentage of their team, regardless of actual performance. Ratings given by front-line managers were arbitrarily changed by higher-level executives who often had no direct knowledge of the employee’s work." Once the Department of Labor steps in, Mayer's internal memos with her saying stay away from the "L-word" and use "remix" will bite Yahoo pretty hard. It's obvious Yahoo is trying to redefine these as "not layoffs"...it reminds me of the meme that if you have to say "I'm not a racist..." that you probably are at least displaying racist tendencies.
I recently was laid off from HP under their "Work Force Reduction" and the WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) was the reason it was the best job ending I've ever had. Yahoo will, if found in violation, have to go back and pay all their former employees some type of severance package; the WARN Act basically says either you have to give 60 days or pay people for those 60 days. No way the DOL will let Yahoo slide on this; if they did then the USA would never have another mass layoff and instead everything would just be "remixes" or whatever pointy-haired boss jargon of the week that they think they can get away with.
This will never fly in the USA. Just look at the fighting from the established power companies over people in Nevada with their solar roofs, no way any state will be able to overcome the intense lobbying that would come from any attempts at making such a "public" item provide power; we don't allow the "public" to get in the way of corporate profits.
Weird...do you get at least 3G on the phone? The only time k9 has choked is when I accesses the Trash folder without emptying first, but it had over 2,000 messages in it. I constantly have 50+ emails in the inbox, often half unread. Never had a problem except for the above. Have you tried accessing your email on the phone while on wifi after turning off the mobile network? Process of elimination, clean out the inbox, try only wifi, make sure the settings are correct in K9 (since it has two different places to put the mail server info in, which is annoying lol), etc. I also download video clips (usually under 100mb) all the time using Turbo Download Manager, and even on 3g they only take a few minutes. There are a few spots in my place I can get 4g, then it's the same speed as wifi via DSL.
"Can't handle the mail"? What does that even mean? I've got an older S3, using the K9 mail app, and have never had an issue with my email. I've been using this phone for almost four years...the only annoyance was getting attachments. But your not forced to use the built-in mail app, there are numerous other apps you can get. With the MX Player almost all video works, although a small screen really isn't much fun to watch anything but short clips, web videos, etc.
Totally, let's just everyone eat all our food raw. Or even while it's still alive. Because there is so much evidence that the pre-metabolizing via cooking is a horrible idea, nor is it one of the few differences between humans and everything else. I think we would all be far safer with a vast increase of harmful live bacteria on our food. Those pesky "studies" and "required classes" for food handling is all crap anyway; I agree that it's all a vast conspiracy about the myth of 148 degrees and in reality that amount of satanic cooking just forces evolution and makes harmful bacteria more powerful. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
I just can't believe a company who used to be part of Anonymous (Ghost Security Group) would EVER troll anyone ever! Now their backtracking on it, and GSG blames it on the media "Clearly, other organizations were interested in breaking news about another app that may have been developed by IS to reduce the group's reliance in popular apps like Telegram, whose creators may be able to disrupt IS's exploitations of their tech". I love how they said this via a PDF who's link is embedded in a tweet. Not on their front page, or even on any pages that I can see. Talk about obfuscation. Did their new paymasters inspire this fubar? Or is this just another "we have no real leader, each member does whatever" style project operating in the same way Anonymous acts?
I was going to say "this energy level will of course also destroy this planet by collapsing it into an ultra dense particle about the size of a pea, but you will die knowing the true mass of the final building block of nature", but just didn't take the time to look up the quote then. I would also hope they would never actually pull cables out during operations; that's just common sense. They might, however, have to extend the two-month downtime a bit longer for this special project. The radioactive dust however really reminds me of Decay, which was actually shot on CERN property.
I got it! I was also pointing out that the actual IRS doesn't collect that info either, so their multiple request letters are completely bogus. They just want the info to sell it off to advertisers since it's worth more $$ with the SSN. Your comment makes me actually want to purposely not put my SSN on my insurance if I'm forced to use the exchange, just to tell them off when they try to "trick" me into giving it to them lol.
Reading TFA, all these cables are disconnected but still in the trays. It doesn't say if these are copper or fiber, and from that pic it's impossible to tell. If I ever did something like that at any of my corporate cabling jobs I would have been fired pretty quickly. Even at our smallest job we always labeled the cables, even if just with a sharpie. But for copper, a tone generator would make the job far easier. This is basic networking stuff, CERN has some of the smartest people on the planet working there...I expected better from them LOL
It's VERY frightening that a device that could potentially eventually produce a particle that could turn our planet into a blob of stranglets has cabling that looks like that. Perhaps instead of whomever they let do their cabling they should have hired some actual professional cablers, it's not like it costs $$$ to have it done correctly retaliative to the cost of the LHC.
A good friend of mine does ITSEC at a major research hospital in Portland; they are actually quite intense on it all. They won't even deploy anything that uses lower than TLS 1.2, CISSP certification is required, etc.
If you work in HIPAA compliance, you might want to read over the actual document again. Encryption is not "Required", but only "Addressable". This is followed up by "reasonable and appropriate” for Addressable items, including documentation on why the Covered Entity didn't feel the Addressable was needed. This is from a governmental site, and the answer is "no". If this data was supposed to always stay in-house, then per 45 CFR 164.312(a)(2)(iv) and (e)(2)(ii) that fact alone is probably good enough for them to not get fined.
I'm in no way saying not having it encrypted is a good idea; this seems to be a case that their required risk assessment failed in the worst way. Or perhaps there never was any risk assessment done for this particular project; TFA and the Reuters article are both quite vague and information on what actually happened is pretty missing.
And yet on the IRS tax forms it's just a single question "Have you had health insurance", last year at least they didn't request any information to collaborate it...no policy numbers, corp, etc.
Some IT guy took the drives home, wiped them, and is now using them in his home file server, or just straight-up sold them on Ebay. This happens all the time, I've seen it happen at every company I've worked for over the past 20 years. TFA has little actual information (and neither does the Reuters write up)...were they shipped some place? Were these in a server, laptops, desktops?
Plus, it's not like "cancer" is a singular "disease", it's not like glaucoma or arthritis. There are multiple ways of getting cancer, multiple genes, DNA and RNA, etc. There will never be a cure that can cure "cancer" in general, just like there is no cure for the common cold which is actually several different viral diseases with similar symptoms.
Here in Tulsa, that's exactly the way it is. In fact, the Judge always tells whomever they can talk to the court clerk and work out a payment plan. I've had to do this before, they said $50 a month until it was all paid. They even sent a monthly statement / payment sheet to remind you. I'm assuming many people who get caught up in this just don't bother to talk to the clerks and are just so angry about it all they refuse to pay anything to anyone on it. "Sovereign Citizen" movements and such.
Once, when I was a contractor for the City, I had to go to court for a speeding ticket. I just took the morning off, and came into court with my City ID badge around my neck. Instead of the normal "standing in front of everyone", they took me into a back room. Once there, the TOTAL "fee" was $50, about 1/4 of the ticket alone. I didn't ask for this, but of course I didn't argue either.

I just LOVE the advise that there is some issue with your hard drive, or by booting into Safe Mode that too will somehow fix it.
Indeed, I'm glad I used my MSDN to install 7E on all my machines. No stealth OS upgrades...

Even with "shadowing" it's not like the shadows are areas of complete darkness without photons.
Ask Apple about Shin Nishibori, Jony, and Sony in the year 2006.

Buying stuff from the US is, mostly, STILL buying stuff from China...just with a giant markup for the middle men.
I tell the corp recruiters that too, but none of them understand. "I want to be on the computer, not work with the computer".
