| schestowitz-TR | had outage due to bad oven, won't use it anymore, pi booted for first time in months, I think all services are back but if something does not work, then it's worth bearing in mind it changed ip address and was reset | Oct 10 10:39 |

| Techrights-sec | can't the home router re-assign the same IP address? | Oct 10 10:53 |
| Techrights-sec | Or did that go down, too? | Oct 10 10:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I asked BT (this year) about static/reserved IP, but there's no way they'll give that to residential customers. I tried several times. Short of UPS for just the router, there's no way around it, but we know the culprit (second time in a year; two strikes is enough.... not a new oven) | Oct 10 10:54 |
| Techrights-sec | How many amps is the oven drawing and how much is that part of the house's | Oct 10 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec | wiring rated for? | Oct 10 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I haven't the faintest clue. One thing we noticed though is, after the last such outage (caused by the oven) its heating capacity went down sharpy. You'd need to aim higher for the dial to get the same temps as before. | Oct 10 11:16 |
| Techrights-sec | The new appliances are engineered to last about 4 maybe 5 years maximum. | Oct 10 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, a known problem... for now we'll use hob/cooker where possible. I don't like microwave, but one is fitted in already. | Oct 10 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the only upside of this "utter shit" outage is that it's like a drill/practice on a quiet Sunday and I improve my methods/notes for service recovery. Some of these notes can be shared if tidied up a bit, but physical access is often needed. | Oct 10 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, at least the timing was reasonably convenient. | Oct 10 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is on shift, but on an average shift of mine it's under one hour of actual work. for her, maybe 2-3 because she is slower and more diligent. | Oct 10 11:35 |
| Techrights-sec | What about baking then? | Oct 10 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | baking will be an issue | Oct 10 11:36 |

| Techrights-sec | Our refridgerator and our stove/oven should last a few more years but the new | Oct 10 11:41 |
| Techrights-sec | ones are reportedly utter crap. I don't think that they will improve much if | Oct 10 11:41 |
| Techrights-sec | at all between now and the time we need to buy replacements. | Oct 10 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have a stereo in the 'gym' (living room) that barely works but works, still, for aux and tuner, since 1994. It's Samsung. | Oct 10 11:42 |

| Techrights-sec | I wish I still had the loudspeakers and amplifier I had a long time ago. | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | They'e still good but too big to ship so I gave them away. They still work | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | and sound better than anything on the market I've heard lately. | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | That leads into the probably GPL violations found in "sound bar" products. | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | They seem rather complex and outward signs suggest that they use at least | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | Linux if not also some GNU. However, LF has basically told all the world's | Oct 10 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | corporations to ignore the GPL. | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | Tried with some help to get the source for a router based on OpenWRT but | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | they just told the investigators to fuck off. | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | Many in business are zero-sum-gamers and believe that for someone to win | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | someone else must lose, and the converse. So they appear to think that | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | by making people lose out on their reightful freedom they are somehow, | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | somewhere making a winner. | Oct 10 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec | At least that's my interpretation of their behavior and statements. | Oct 10 12:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we used to chase samsung for gpl violations and brad kuhn sort of told us off for it. Maybe for stepping on "his" business... | Oct 10 12:01 |
| Techrights-sec | Funny, decades ago during actual ecomonic and technological growth, the | Oct 10 12:17 |
| Techrights-sec | goal of finding "win-win" solutions was common. Now growth is feigned through | Oct 10 12:17 |
| Techrights-sec | buyouts and buybacks, cannibalism in other words. | Oct 10 12:17 |

| schestowitz | "This is a very good point- getting more detailed examiner's reports/ mark schemes is the only guidance candidates have for is expected in FD4. The exam is already totally changeable year on year with goalposts moving at random - having no mark scheme seems a backwards step." | Oct 10 22:05 |

| schestowitz | " | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | For an organisation which prides itself in the scientific training of its membership, the comment in the Mercer report that “the reports analysing statistics on PEB examinations written by Julia Gwilt… indicated that candidates who had passed FC1… were more successful than other candidates” is surprising. Julia Gilwit’s report from 2019 actually noted that there were no statistically significant differences in the pass rates between | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | candidates taking different routes and indeed in 2018 the pass rate in FD4 for candidates who did not take the PEB route was actually higher than for those who did. Rather other factors, such as the level of experience of trainees sitting the exams and the training and support that they received were much more important. | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | Too many of the report’s proposals seem ill thought through and unduly prescriptive. It is naïve at best to think that the current university providers will happily convert their current courses into examination prep for a CIPA exam. If they do not then candidates will simply end up sitting exams twice, once to satisfy the university providers and then again to satisfy CIPA. Or else, the university providers will shut up shop and the burden | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | to teaching trainees the basics of intellectual property law will be handed back to the profession. | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | Similarly, abolishing the EQE exemption would also mean more exams all round. An easy thing to propose if you are already qualified, less attractive if you aren’t, ignoring that is the time and costs which will be involved in getting trainees prepared for the exams and getting those exams marked. | Oct 10 22:05 |
| schestowitz | Is this really what the profession needs now, given that the vast majority of the work undertaken by the larger training firms now is before the EPO and not the UKIPO? | Oct 10 22:05 |
