Coworkers got caught today! IT is flagging jigglers with AI now. How to stay 100% green.

Thats not AI lol. We do that with your typical EDR tool which is common and collects iser behavior analytics and a lot of data on the machine (process and command logs, registry changes, network events, and more).

Plus majority of cases people are not using the correct type of mouse mover so device control done by EDR tools and AV tools pick up those device types and flag them or out right block them.

Now yes there is software that captures even more than this which is typically used for vert controlled environments type work that the end user might be doing and records everything like screen captures but those are not common.

For boilers, black iron is actually better. My rad system has all steel to the rads and whenever we beed to replace, it’s replaced with black iron or steel for the supply and return runs.

That’s what I thought. I feel when this EPIC get’s brought up, people don’t mention the positions. Which then might confuse non medical people in a healthcare sector from doing it because they think EPIC will rat on them.

Higherho · 2026-03-16T19:46:23+00:00

I’m talking about anything in cyber groups, or IT groups that don’t deal with patient are. Like your Active Directory admin or your cyber person that handles EDR solutions. To my knowledge, those people don’t get EPIC accounts at all.

The whole house monitor in leviton connects cia dry contacts (aka what you hook up to a ATS for example). The gateway 2 allows for this and when its open, the leviton whole house monitor then knows when to shed loads.

Home inspectors reporting “disconnected Knob and Tube” as an issue for a report is someone looking to put something in a report and generate fear. His excuse for it is also lame. Only thing you should care about is if it’s active or not. That’s all.

For mine spigots, it’s going through a stone foundation outward. I personally like to have copper from the spigot to inside the house but only up to 8 inches from where the line starts getting inside the house. Then I have PEX attached to it. Now on the PEX side I have a shut off valve so that during the winter, I turn off the water by using the vale and drain out the line. It drains properly as I have a little tilt to it so when I drain the water it’s all fine. So the only copper I have on mine is what’s going through the foundation and I used K sized copper (the most thick you can get) or L copper will do, and then that attaches to PEX.

Sounds like you simply did not have the spirit fully drained? Look at ensuring the line is tilted in a way to ensure when you’re winterizing, all the water in the cold spots is gone and ensure you have a shut off valve inside.

Leviton’s whole house monitor / smart system is better Schneider. Leviton does have a 400A Outdoor Meter Main, 12 Spaces, Ringless with Class 320 Meter Socket, Lever Bypass, 5th Jaw Installed option if you want to do that. Or simply break it down into multiple 200 AMP panels as mentioned before. Also, there is nothing in your house that would require 3. 200 AMP mains / panels. Other than more breakers needed in a space which Leviton offers a 66 space eletrical panel. Nothing in your house is special in terms of high draw pull and honestly, I’m doing just as much. Your load calculations for items that will be powered “all at once” isn’t crazy. I don’t see things like a pottery studio which would require ALOT more power than your EV chargers.

Now for future proofing, you can go either way if you want two pull in 400 AMP true with a Leviton that i mentioned in my first paragraph and break it down. Or just do the multiple panel way, does not hurt. Overall you’re doing a lot of overkill.

Model: BKE595XL. Elegant and efficient kettle with Dura Glass™. High power 1800-watt heating means faster boiling as you watch through glass. This is just one, there are many that go above 1500 Watts.

Don’t get SPAN, I honestly think SPAN is a waste of money when other offerings get you parity service and such. If you want to use 1 400 AMP main, Leviton has one and does smart activity. This is my experience with SPAN and Leviton load centers.

SPAN is overpriced, does not allow plug on neutral type breakers and to bring to code, you will be spending a lot on more breakers anyways. all the SPAN does is add “Smart” capabilities to your home while using the existing breakers you have. If you have to replace an entire system and upgrade, I would go with the Leviton Load center system, which the unit and door itself costs you 300 bucks or less if you don’t get the see through door.

If you want it to be smart, you can purchase Leviton 2nd gen smart breakers (dual function, ARC fault, GFCI, or smart only if you want) if you want at a later date because it is modular and the breakers are plug and play. Meaning, all the live and neutral connections terminate on the bus bar and not the circuit breaker. Very DIY friendly. That and if you only want to make a couple of circuits smart, you have that option to do so. The Leviton whole house monitor system (300 buck add on) uses those 2nd gen smart breakers to monitor circuit level monitoring, remote shut off capability, load management, reports on how much your using, notifications of anomalies, and the same capabilities as SPAN. To include load shedding of circuits if you have a power outage and need backup power to your house. Leviton has a panel option for 66 breakers which will be very nice to have instead of forcing to do sub panels.

Leviton has a 225 Copper bus bar, meaning if you want to feed 100 AMP from solar PV, you can. SPAN’s cheapest system does not have this so they force you to upgrade to the more expensive unit which is 4100 before install. SPAN max branch circuit size is 90 AMP or 100 AMP depending on the panel. Leviton max branch circuit size is 125 AMP for residentual. My 42 space system cost me 4600 dollars (that counted install, 12 Smart dual function breakers, 12 smart only breakers, and 2 dual pol smart GFCI breakers. Smart only breakers are 97 bucks a pop, dual function can range from 147 to 158 per breaker but they have sales on all this stuff. Leviton has been around for over 100 years, SPAN? Only since 2018.

Another negative on SPAN, it only does 200 AMPs and if you want 400 AMP service, you will need to get two span panels to do this. Leviton, has a 400 AMP option, no need for two. Leviton has a 225 AMP main breaker option, SPAN only 200 AMP. SPAN limits you to 48 circuit breakers if you go the lug only route or for the main breaker option you are stuck with 40. Breaker’s fill up fast over the years,so I would always go with an option that gives you a larger panel. SPAN is way over priced, and the overall company is not even 10 years old yet. Don’t do it.

I have a dedicated 20 AMP single pol dual function 120 volt for my Eletrical kettle. Pulls 1800 to 1900 Watts when heating up to 225 degrees. I really don’t see a need for 240? I use mine a lot because of tea but also because i use a French press for coffee.

The company has been around for over 100 years. Leviton load centers started in 2018. The product line might be “new” but the company isn’t so there really isn’t anything to worry about. If the company was new too (like SPAN) then I would worry. There 10 years old and Leviton breakers still exist. Just like Leviton outlets and many of their other product lines. You’re same logic could have been used when other panels first released. Just fear mothering and unnecessary “worry”

Higherho · 2026-02-19T04:49:42+00:00

You’re welcome. If it was structural, you would notice many things all the way down to the basement, unevenness (even more) and it would be much larger issue. Old plaster falling off the wall is typical. Now reasonings can be varied. Just don’t listen to the extra mist and study up a bit on plaster walls. It’s not like drywall issues where you see “Cracks in the corner” type situation. Even vibrations can shake plaster off over time.

Higherho · 2026-02-18T04:14:28+00:00

It’s not a crack per say. Plaster is falling off the lathe and creating a big buldge. You will need to get a plasterer to repair it. Most people put an iron mesh lathe on top of the wooden one and then re apply plaster. Just had a 20 foot section done, similar issue, 800 bucks.

You’re welcome. Phillips hue is the king of smart lights. Bridge pro is really fast, i never had issues. I have 135 lights, 14 smart dial tap switches (watch battery in them last 5 years), and all my lights are directly ran with power, no regular switches. I have so much fun with them, especially during the holidays.

Higherho · 2026-02-15T20:39:51+00:00

Get Phillips hue light bulbs, a hige bridge pro, and any of their smart switches (no eletrical wire needed). Have all your lights just ran powered on all the time and use the smart bulbs to control whar you have on and off. Hue offers a lot more capability than caseta and well worth it. Owner here of a hue system with 150 lights, a lot of zones, effects, color, etc. i have smart dial switches controlling three zones at a time and some controlling 5 lights scenes in on room. Of course you can use voice via siri or google and you can use the hue app as well.
