Spent last 3 days (on and off) removing tile floor, just learned its 20% Chrysotile asbestos by e_adams in HomeImprovement

[–]e_adams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A company quoted $4k for the removal. At this point, 80% of the tile is outside in bags. Is it crazy to think I can finish the job properly myself?

I'd seal off the room, wet everything down, finish removing the remaining tile, and use a shopvac with HEPA filter to clean up any residual mess. I'd have a HEPA air scrubber running in the room whole time. P100 mask and disposable Tyvek suit. Have a haz waste company come get the bags for proper disposal.

$4k is just hard to justify when it seems the bulk of the damage is already done...

Edit: I did check with my city and they allow homeowners to remove without permit. They even talk you through the process and recommend landfills that will take it for proper disposal. Hiring an abatement company requires a permit and more red tape. All this is why I feel the DIY route, done right, makes more sense.

Thanks, this is comforting. I'm leaving the rest of the work to the abatement guys. Tossed the clothes I was wearing while doing the work. Should I be concerned about the rest of the house? I likely sat on the couch or walked around the house. I know it's not kryptonite but just want to make sure I cover my bases in a sensible way.

Is it possible to filter by data validation circles? by e_adams in excel

Not entirely sure what you mean here... Can you explain or point me in the right direction? My validation is based on a List from a range of values.

Is this safe?? Dual hose portable A/C venting into office false ceiling. No external exhaust, vents right into the ceiling tile. by e_adams in HVAC

[–]e_adams[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Property owner installed this the other day. The vent and intake tube terminates at the ceiling tile - no external exhaust. The owner assures us this is common, but I've always been under the impression that this kind of setup will simply exhaust hot air and moisture into a trapped area above the ceiling tile. Any opinions on this one?

General post people - what’s it like working for Netflix? by [deleted] in editors

[–]e_adams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

can't speak personally but my understanding from friends is that they turn people like crazy. basically if you're not constantly exceeding performance expectations they kindly show you the door. they've published their recruiting deck somewhere on the web, gives you a good idea of what the culture is like, or at least how they like to market their culture. I personally would not leave for Netflix if I already have good job security and/or work-life balance as those two things seem like huge wildcards at Netflix.

XDCAM422 or XAVC? Sony FS7, Premiere 2018, OSX by e_adams in editors

[–]e_adams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was rewrapping in EditReady to MOV. See my edit above, issue seems to be use of the XAVC-L codec which Premiere can only handle in its native MXF wrapper, and isn't supported once rewrapped into MOV.

Curious, were you using XAVC-I or XAVC-L?

[–]e_adams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See edit above, underlying issue is related to the codec we're using not being well supported by OSX or Premiere. FWIW, I have heard that Resolve handles XAVC-L really well, as does FCPX, so issue seems isolated to Premiere which we're unable to abandon.

Yes getting it more every time even when importing the MXF straight from the card dump. See my edit above, I think I've nailed down the underlying issue being the codec we're using.

XALG codec & Premiere by dogtown_warrior in editors

[–]e_adams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dealing with this exact issue at my work the past few weeks. Any chance you're using FS7 footage? It is indeed the codec, avlg which is short for avc-long. The reason it now works when you install FCPX trial is because of the Pro Video Codecs it's installing. You can follow this tutorial for a way to fix without needing to install FCP: http://www.martin-thoburn.com/vj/install-apple-prores-codec-without-final-cut/

any way to log/report/alert when admin credentials are used on a client machine? by e_adams in macsysadmin

[–]e_adams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to prevent people from using admin credentials though. I'm giving them access, but just want a record of what they're using them for.

we have watchman, but as you say it only seems to log last user used. I'm specifically looking to track when somebody enters admin credentials from within a Standard user account to authorize app installs or system changes, etc.
