@MactelecomN @Ubiquiti Looks killer, but 99% of our clients will make us disable that.

@AmericanAir please drop @viasat and switch to @Starlink

@appltrack @markgurman Looks like an iPad in a @hecklerdesign mount

[Preston Mainard @pmainard07]

@andylapteff @Ubiquiti Yes, use PPSK.

[Preston Mainard @pmainard07]

@AmericanAir needs to add @Starlink as soon as possible.

[Preston Mainard @pmainard07]

@seltzdesign @MactelecomN @Ubiquiti This is common for Ubiquiti. Their products are great, but always have at least one flaw that prevents us from using them.

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX 2023 FCC: Claims that Starlink is not capable of providing high-speed Internet to thousands of people as the reason for revoking an $885M award to the company.

2024 FCC: Claims that Starlink provides so much high-speed Internet that the word monopoly should be tossed out there.

Rick Rescorla is credited with saving all but 6 of his 2700 employees during the 9/11 attacks by directing people down the stairs of the South Tower using a bullhorn and encouraging them by singing Cornish songs.

Rick Rescorla, a former British military officer, served as the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

The 1993 terrorist attack on the complex deeply impacted him, reinforcing concerns he had already raised about the building's security vulnerabilities before the bombing.

Believing the World Trade Center would face another attack, Rescorla consistently drilled Morgan Stanley employees in emergency evacuations, a practice that ultimately saved their lives on September 11, 2001.

On the morning of the attacks, Rescorla grabbed his megaphone and instructed nearly 3,000 Morgan Stanley workers to follow the evacuation plan he had instilled in them.

As they descended the stairwell, shaken by the second plane's impact, he used his megaphone not only to guide them but also to soothe their nerves, singing Cornish and Welsh songs to keep them calm.

During the evacuation, Rescorla called his wife, telling her, “Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something happens to me, know that I've never been happier. You made my life.”

After successfully evacuating most of the employees, someone suggested his job was done, urging him to leave. He responded, "You hear those screams? There are more people up there. I have to help get them out."

He was last seen heading back up the stairwell, around the 10th floor, before the South Tower collapsed. His body was never recovered.

Out of the 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees, only six sadly perished. Rescorla is credited with saving thousands of lives that day.

Super cool. But I feel like UI should focus on existing product lines. Things like achieving full UL listing on access, developing a proper multi-directional camera for Protect, switches with precision time support, etc.

Almost every product line has some weird quirk or missing product that keeps us going back to the big guys ☹️

Hero.

Today, we mourn the loss of Officer Darron Burks.
We will never forget his sacrifice and his heroism.
Please pray for his family, friends and the men and women of the Dallas Police Department. Our thoughts remain with our injured officers, as they continue to recover.

On the hack of the Trump campaign, I’m taking this seriously & have it on good authority it’s the real deal. You should too.

I tend to not comment much these days for various reasons personal & professional, but this is important, I have a bit of relevant insight & experience, & there’s more coming & we need to be prepared for down the road.

You might not like the victim here, but the adversary gives zero Fs who you like or don’t like. They have their own objectives and guess what, you’re the target. Take this seriously.

But also keep in mind that you’re part of the playbook, they want you to either amplify it or doubt it. Take a beat, touch grass as the kids say, & just vote.

American voters decide American elections. Let’s keep it that way.
