Trying to do right with what little I’ve got & trying to pass what little I have learned at great cost to the kids. Tweets are definitely not my employer's.

@HackingDave I totally feel this when doing AV work each week at church. My kids used to give me grief when they were in high school and then I told them to come do it one week. That's when that stopped mostly.

@Fat_Electrician Older-style data centers were constructed with poor evaporative cooling systems, which modern ones eschew in place of closed-loop systems. I can't speak to the eminent domain issues, but residential power goes up more for all the EVs on the grid than for data center usage.

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@HackingDave Congrats!

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@AngryCops It depends on the data center company, but the vast majority of newly built data centers use closed-loop cooling systems with glycol. Power costs in residential areas are more affected by the addition of electric vehicles to the grid than data centers.

@SteveD3 Yep 0 as well. IBM Selectric in high school for typing class.

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@SteveD3 I loved these! Our church youth group had these and would go stalking through the neighborhood near the church after dark with these hunting each other. Someone called the sheriffs and we almost got arrested, but it was epic. Good times.

@blckriflecoffee Mistakes were made, but the coffee is still hot.

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@SteveD3 @securityweekly I add a bit of citrus and some bourbon to the brine, rinse well when coming out and then pop that bad boy in the smoker for 3-4 hours before cranking the heat to finish cooking and get the golden brown skin.

@Lowes Why would I purchase delivery and installation services and expect to have to pick up the dishwasher myself? It makes no sense whatsoever, and I don't need to deal with this kind of nonsense in the future. I won't be buying any appliances from Lowes in the future

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@Lowes Ordered a dishwasher on 10/1 with installation and haul away for delivery on 10/8. Lowes installation team pushed the install date to 10/27. Today was notified Lowes canceled my order due to my not picking up the dishwasher within 10 days. Won't order from Lowes again

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@Lowes There's no point bothering. I've found a local appliance store to buy from that has guaranteed me a delivery. Lowes support team said by selecting delivery and installation service, I, myself had 10 days to pickup or they would cancel the order for non-pickup.

So here's a summary of what ISC2 is changing in its Bylaws and why you should vote NO in the upcoming Bylaws vote. Hold on to your wigs:

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@DellCares @DellCares Oh, I'm not looking for technical assistance at all. I'm looking to find out why an AC adapter I ordered 72 days ago hasn't shipped out. I'm looking to find out why the shipping date keeps getting extended by 2 days to never actually ship out.

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@Dell I've been on 5 calls today to try to get a status on an AC adapter I purchased 72 days ago that hasn't shipped. Nobody seems able to help and I've been hung up on twice. Is this how you normally intend to handle customer care?

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@Baradul Sorry to hear. Rest and hydrate until the headaches subside. Then apply bourbon once a day. Helped mine clear up. 😎

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

Twitter wants me to celebrate the fact my Twitter anniversary was 13 years ago. All I can think of as an appropriate celebration is:

Doomscrolling since 2008

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@gattaca But where's the fun in sending an angry screed via iMessage that you'll regret later if you can just unsend? 🤔

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@Blackberry Not notifying users of Cylance Smart AV for home users that you're killing it is somewhat unprofessional. Hiding the login page you've been using for years without warning is wholly uncool.

[Steve Maiorca @samaiorca]

@MechTexas @ILive4Crits Grant my spawn mercy in BT? Mercy is for the weak 😎
