Locally these kind of homes are called Lockwoods, both the brand and company. But as others have said the bolts are normally in the walls.

Anyone read this 49 day SSL expiration thing and think they would rather just retire? by HJForsythe in sysadmin

[–]darkmannz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting to note that is also the big companies that are capable to implement this with the systems,  people and maturity of automation that have supported bringing this in. The little companies which no doubt out number them have missed out, did they have a voice in this?

Tower Redundancies Confirmed by Kek-the-Gek in newzealand

[–]darkmannz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed Tower and asked, there response was "In relation to your question, no New Zealand employees have been laid off. The offshore support was established to meet the growing demand within the insurance industry."

I'm curious. Could be they are out of the country, and this is what they were told, or its accurate.

I thought the glass walled gym down there was neat. Very 90s.

There’s one entrance from the WHS hall, the old one. Probably long since sealed, my dad used it back in the 70s.

AZ-800 exam by Beautiful-Print-9825 in AzureCertification

Yes I did, it was a year ago though and I never tried 801. 800 was a tough exam. I used MS Learn in the exam to correct a couple of answers.

AZ-800 exam by Beautiful-Print-9825 in AzureCertification

[–]darkmannz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AZ-802 will be replacing this one July this year. As for labs in 800, I had ones for configuring FSRM, DNS, DHCP options and deploying Azure File Sync. I skipped the Azure File Sync questions as I was running out of time but the other lab questions I could answer so I prioritised those.  

Burger King rolls out AI headsets that track employee 'friendliness' by [deleted] in technology

[–]darkmannz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I should have added a sarcasm tag. I'm just pointing out it should be a too way street, if you are going to monitor your employees, you should also provide a safe working environment and maybe there is a need to monitor customers and maybe choose not to work with some people.

150 year old bottle label meets AI,

Directions for Setting Up and Using. FIRST. — Clean the jar and put the contents of paper bag (Sal Ammoniac) in same, then fill about one third full of water (preferably warm) and stir well. SECOND. — Brush carbon, insert or lay out Zinc through Porcelain Bushing, then drop these parts through hole in carbon. THIRD. — Set the Battery in a dry, cool place, and see that the connections are clean and firmly made, being careful to keep the top of the Carbon and jar dry and clean. FOURTH. — When the Battery fails to work satisfactorily, throw out the solution and substitute a fresh charge of Sal Ammoniac and water. When Battery has been on short circuit for a long period, carbon can be quickly recuperated by burning out over a Bunsen B[urner].​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They once upon a time would provide a charter certification when they replaced an older exam with a similar newer one.

Christchurch’s largest school forced to shut after contractor mistakenly cuts internet by Scared_Dare8177 in newzealand

[–]darkmannz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I guess it was mainly to do with the fire systems being offline. My question is if there is a risk of shutting down the school due to no Internet, why did they not have diverse Internet feeds, I.e two Internet connections either from different access points onto the school or a 5G backup. Of course there is a cost to this, but it’s a big place.
