  • I agree it is something we should worry about and pay attention too, but just because something occurs doesn’t mean it was nefarious on purpose. Apple is better than many, but let’s say you have an iPhone. The iPhone is constantly reaching out and reporting it’s location to the findmy app that is only accessible by the users. If that phone is in a cave performing this test, it will be reaching out continuously similar to this car. Apple doesn’t sell that data, but where it becomes a breach of privacy is that if a judge gives a warrant, Apple has to turn it over. (So suddenly it isn’t only accessible to the user meaning verification is NORMALLY required to allow Apple to access the data, but they could bypass said verification.

    So does that mean no one should ever enable find my on their devices… Maybe, but people weigh it against whatever they find useful about it.



  • I’m not understanding how being able to support say a 5tb hard drive during boot is the same as forcing AI on us. Can you extrapolate on what you mean there? Like once the initial drive boots sure I guess you could work around it (I have 1 media server that does just that), but you would just never be able to have the boot disk larger than 2.2tb. the 64 bit firmware is what I thought couldn’t be stored on the hardware/serup previously used.


  • Yeah I’ve never had colors but we used to run them in offices when we needed and we would just label the patch panels and wires and id just tape the ends and mark a sharpie like A1, A2,…A8, B1 etc when pulling, where A would be room and number would be the port. Then if you had multiple racks/closets we would do something like 224-C4 on the plate side, so you could say this is patched in in room 224, rack C, switch 4.

    I remember after a hurricane we were moving my company to another building and installing everything, we had crabs under the floor in the tubes they had to run cables so you could access them in the center of rooms or in areas that wouldnt have an easy drop on the first floor. First time I ever had gotten pinched by a crab trying to get them out lol.

    Pretty sure I started discussing one project and ended with another, so that may make no sense. Sorry for rambling.
