Ouch - Glad all involved are okay.

If all it did was buckle the hood, and jam the radiator, you may be able to replace both from a salvage yard and be going pretty quickly.

Hard to say without being able to pull parts and inventory.

Ground is no joke... and when your office requires towers and radios - it's not a matter of IF you will ever get hit,.. but WHEN you get hit by lightning...

The PSOC - Public Safety Operations Center and PSAPs - Public Safety Answer Points generally will have a transceiver tower attached.

In the building I work in,.. There is a serious level of grounding and isolation involved. In the PSAP of my county, there is next to nothing that electrically enters the building. The radios and tower is completely isolated from the main building. Everything is grounded. Door frames, Conduit, Cable management systems, HVAC, water,... everything.

There is a running ground, or as was termed today, a HALO ground. Ground bars are 1/2" x 2" x 8" with multiple points, and 0 AWG wire all terminated to ground to protect the center(s).

That said - a storm cell passed through the city last night... And it's caused quite a bit of issue for the PSOC.

One dispatcher was on a call at the time when it happened, and the audio feed recorded her reaction - and she was taken to the hospital..

@CCWTech said in Dymo vs. other print servers:

It seems really high compared to other brand of print servers out there.

because it's from the printer maker.

You can always make your own with a Raspberry Pi for very cheap that will support as many printers as you'd reasonably want.

You beat me to it- I actually just did this with a raspberry pi three and diet pi, it also run apcupsd to monitor the APC 1000 running my core network.

@Mike-Davis was kind enough to donate two UBNT PowerBridge M5 units for a project I"m working on.

Both seem to be working after defaulting them. They will be used for Field Day next year (Ham Radio).

That is malware I have not encountered. But, in many cases the first most direct and preferred way to deal with any malware is to:

Nuke it.

Reloading the OS can be faster and more reliable that trying to remove any malware / virus. All mainly due to time/cost.

@WrCombs said in Any outlook guru's here?:

the saga continues - they had a meeting today - google meets meeting , and they can't access it from outlook - my guess is that it's something similar to the above - told them to copy the url below the "link" and paste it in the web browser to see if it would go for the meeting-

anyone seen this before?

Users being stupid? Yes daily.

@Pete-S said in Facebook at Work (Meta Workplace)?:

Has anyone ever seen a company in the wild that uses Facebook at Work (Meta Workplace)?

It's their social media site for internal company use, built on the Facebook code.

workplace.com

Normally I would think this is some click bait risk... but since it's @Pete-S I know it's not something way off in that direction.

Still - Can't get me to click that link... lol.. and no- I hadn't heard of it,... and am like - WHY,.. Why would you do that. That is ten times more poison them Sharepoint.

ETA: IMO.

Currently trying to plan out an uninstall / install script....

Since I don't do much (any) coding, not sure where how to begin. I've done a few batch files,.. maybe I"ll just stick with that.

@WrCombs said in Reboot resets Desktop Win 10 -:

So found out the user is actually corrupt, this is the 4th time this has happened according to the internal IT team, and they're looking to get the PC replaced

It’s always best to replace a corrupt user. The can leave so much of a mess.
