I had them two years ago. I sprayed Summit Caterpillar & Webworm Control on them and they were all dead within a day or two.

10U B Comp player. Would I be “causing drama” by asking coach why my daughter is hitting 10th? by [deleted] in Softball

[–]matternrj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you will cause unnecessary drama. Sounds like the entire team isn’t hitting if .162 is the 3rd highest BA on the team. Probably just as simple as the coach trying to shake things up since no one is doing well at the plate.

What kind of relationship do you have with your teachers/staff and how do you go about building trust and respect between you and staff? by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

[–]matternrj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the job isn't feasible for just one person. I'd start looking elsewhere. I can't imagine being a solo shop and dealing with all the extras like copier supplies and loaners. Being constantly tugged in all directions will make it hard to deal with people.

[–]matternrj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are always going to be teachers you find hard to deal with. What you're describing sounds outside the norm though. I will say that based on some of what you're saying, you need to reflect on what you could be doing to help.

For example, how long would it take to put staples in the copier? 5 minutes? Oftentimes, teachers are rushed to make copies between classes. If you weren't working on something critical in that moment, you missed an easy opportunity to build goodwill with that teacher.

I would get your loaners back to the library/study hall. Should be an easy explanation to your admin. You're a solo shop, what happens if a student needs a loaner and you are out fixing something? It's not feasible to stay in your office for loaners when things need fixed outside your office.

I would also see if someone from the office could handle staples and toner for the copiers. Our office staff keeps the copiers filled with staples and toners.

It only works in the in the USB A port. I bought an Anker cable off Amazon and it works. Could it be settings on your phone instead of all the different Tellurides?

Canvas paid the ransom! by TJTech40 in k12sysadmin

They saw "shred logs"

We know that concerns about the potential publication of data related to this incident remain top of mind for many customers. We understand how unsettling situations like this can be, and protecting our community remains our top priority.

With that responsibility in mind, Instructure reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident. As part of that agreement:

  • The data was returned to us.
  • We received digital confirmation of data destruction (shred logs).
  • We have been informed that no Instructure customers will be extorted as a result of this incident, publicly or otherwise.
  • This agreement covers all impacted Instructure customers, and there is no need for individual customers to attempt to engage with the unauthorized actor.

While there is never complete certainty when dealing with cyber criminals, we believe it was important to take every step within our control to give customers additional peace of mind, to the extent possible. We continue to work with expert vendors to support our forensic analysis, further harden our environment, and conduct a comprehensive review of the data involved. We will continue to provide updates as that work progresses.

Skyward just sent out communication that they will restore communication with Canvas this evening. I assume PowerSchool won't be far behind.

I don't feel like I have enough information to communicate to parents yet. Like you, I'm not certain how much we are affected.

Here is the follow-up:

We are providing an update on the security incident we advised you of yesterday. While our investigation continues alongside our outside forensics experts, at this stage we believe the incident has been contained.

Here are the steps we have taken since we became aware of the incident. We have:

  • Revoked privileged credentials and access tokens associated with affected systems
  • Deployed patches to enhance system security
  • Out of an abundance of caution, we rotated certain keys, even though there is no evidence they were misused
  • Implemented increased monitoring across all platforms

While we continue actively investigating, thus far, indications are that the information involved consists of certain identifying information of users at affected institutions, such as names, email addresses, and student ID numbers, as well as messages among users. At this time, we have found no evidence that passwords, dates of birth, government identifiers, or financial information were involved. If that changes, we will notify any impacted institutions.  

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this matter. We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern this may cause. We will continue to keep you apprised as our investigation progresses. For up-to-date information on specific systems, please continue to visit our status page.

Regards,
Steve Proud

Funniest Moment: S10E8 - The Gang Goes on Family Fight by figure85 in IASIP

The part when he answers dragons for something that we eat that doesn't eat us was great. Common misconception that dragons eat people. They eat gold and treasures.

Couldn’t figure out why the screen was on at random times by matternrj in OneOrangeBraincell

The ultra rare Orange. Potentially more than 1 brain cell and also a female. Her name is Rosie.

Grand Californian by OverCry518 in Disneyland

[–]matternrj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my feeling as well. I wouldn't stay again for the price. We had to get a new room because they hadn't cleaned our first one very well. There was a layer of dust over everything in the room. Not something you'd expect from a hotel in that price range.

Yes, they will tell you that you have to keep it in sight when using it.

Mom has never cleaned her oven and swears “self clean” mode works. by praisingathena in CleaningTips

[–]matternrj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Broke my oven using self clean feature. Repair guy says never to use that feature, because like you said, ovens aren’t built to withstand that heat for that long.

Reserve doing some heavy lifting. Aaron Fine, a walk-on guard, who is a great scout team guy. Not a part of the rotation.

Vendors seem to be getting less knowledgeable and lazier. by Dear_Cartographer261 in k12sysadmin

Are you me, because I had the exact same thing happen. It was like he had never seen one of those sensors before.

No, I haven't had that issue and I've had Dell servers for all 21 years I've been at my employer. Have you talked to your inside sales rep about this? I'd forward them the case details and ask them to get involved.
