I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.

Fans of said movie will obviously know it but I think more people will recognize that line than actually know the movie it comes from.

My guess is they have VLANs and they didn’t set up the server to treat them as local traffic.

It’s US electrical in the post. The first link is only valid for US electrical but I’m sure similar things exist for other countries. The last link is just a cable channel. Nothing special, just looks nicer. They make thinner or wider variants.

Links are just easier than posting 15 images. Here’s the main images for both products.

That first link the top panel has a normal outlet in it but the bottom panel is a male plug. You have to use an extension cord to jump it over to an outlet which could be on your UPS.

Assuming you can cut into the wall… This is likely the cleanest option without doing electrical work.

If that extension cable jump isn’t up to the electric code they do make something similar where you can tie it into the hardwire as well. It doesn’t look like you have an outlet in the same stud section though. Which would make that harder.

Any remaining cables horizontally I’d just stuff in something like this above the trim at the bottom. You’d probably want to either source a black one or just paint it to match your walls.

As a software developer that’s worked on a ton of legacy, home-grown, years old software systems, they may not be dodging the nitty gritty…they frankly don’t know it.

Some of the systems I’ve had to work on were over a decade old and being maintained or patched by anybody that had a free minute(as in over 150 individual contributors over its life, 75% of which are no longer employed). So while I know what the main goal of the system is there are a bunch of little side responsibilities that nobody knows about. Like we need this thing but nobody will stick it on a roadmap or prioritize it so I’ll just stick it in here as a bug fix. Now multiply that over however long that spaghetti bowl of code has been around for. So that means that code isn’t documented, and likely doesn’t have a ticket in Jira(because you mentioned it) explaining why it exists at all. So that leaves a lot of questions. Chances are your devs have come across some code like this and know they don’t know what it does and expect to find more if they look. Tracking down why all that junk exists and if its still required can take a staggering amount of time. Trying to juggle that with your day to day is…not practical. So unless some time gets blocked out to actually answer those questions I find it unlikely that you’ll get what you need.

Others have pretty much mentioned it. Too thin of conductors for the total length required which can overload the cable and heat it up. If you’re just charging your phone it’s unlikely to cause a problem but the more amps you pull the riskier it gets.

Here’s a helpful chart…

Edit: Even at harbor freight (cheap hardware store) a 50ft 12 gauge extension cord is about $40 and weighs 7 pounds.

Some dealers or tire shops have a service to store/swap them if space is limited. You can ask around. There are really two ways to do it. A higher upfront cost of an entire set of wheels/tires. They just need to be put on. Other option is to have snow tires remounted on the same rims. This option costs more per change(mount/balance) but cheaper up front (no rims to buy).

I have an entire set and just use cheap rims. That way if you do slide into something and mess them up it’s not a huge deal. My stock rims are like $800 each…other rims are like $100.

I also downsized my tires to a smaller factory size. Usually cheaper tires on 17” rims vs 18 or 20”. If you keep the outer diameter the same you’ll get more sidewall height. That paired with the softer nature of snow tires will change the driving characteristics of your vehicle a bit.

My insurance agent of all people when I was a teenager said to find an empty parking lot full of snow and slide your car around. The first time you slip out shouldn’t be on a public roadway if you can help it. Stops you from freaking out and making it worse. Learn how to correct slides and such so when you need it then you have some idea of what you’re doing. Pay attention to light poles, curbs and more importantly…parking stones(the slabs of concrete at the front of some parking spaces that might be hidden under snow). So make sure you’re familiar with the lot. Back parts of mall parking lots are a pretty decent choice.

Edit: tiny typos throughout

More stuff… While snow tires can help tremendously they don’t make it even remotely close to driving on dry pavement or even wet pavement from rain. You need to do just about everything slower and brake earlier.

Most snow tires have two sets of tread wear bars. The normal set found on most tires and a second much taller set that marks their reduction of ability when used in deep snow. You need more tread to disperse the thicker snow/slush. Biggest difference is the rubber followed by the tread patterns/siping. They stay softer in way colder temps than even all-season tires. The further below freezing you go the more noticeable this becomes. Conversely they don’t handle heat well and will degrade insanely quickly. The handling sucks too cause they feel kinda greasy because they’re just too soft at higher temps. They’re made for cold.

Also work in software. Had people swear on 300+ person meetings, vendors meetings, etc. Nobody has ever been written up to my knowledge.

Why does this article leave out that this happened March of 2023…more than a year ago. They just got the footage last week. That still seems like an important detail.

Edit: added link to another article.

They don’t exactly say when this took place. A lot of places have the drive thru open later than the lobby. So the doors being locked isn’t all that shocking. If it was like 2 in the afternoon that’s a bit more strange.

They posted a link to their blog post down in the comments of the gist…

We also want to address the Bug Bounty program associated with this case. Although the researcher did initially submit the vulnerability through our established process, they violated key ethical principles by directly contacting third parties about their report prior to remediation. This was in violation of bug bounty terms of service, which are industry standard and intended to protect the white hat community while also supporting responsible disclosure. This breach of trust resulted in the forfeiture of their reward, as we maintain strict standards for responsible disclosure.

They failed to mention that the report was closed for being out of scope. Any reasonable person would expect that to mean a remediation was not coming. So really he didn’t give up his bounty because he wasn’t getting one to begin with.

Edit: cause autocorrect is dumb.
