For those who want to start repairing their homes, the first step is to remove all the wet drywall/insulation at least 2 feet above the high water mark (water will absorb up the drywall and insulation). Then you'll want to spray something like Microban to kill/prevent mold all over the studs/inner walls and setup some fans to dry the area before replacing the insulation and drywall.

I just tried just putting "Donate to Charity" in the first address line only and it error out. What am I doing wrong

I do not have a complete address to begin with so I guess the routine does not care when then information is incomplete.

Craig, I have many shirts to donate, 86 ones. Can you assist so that all go to charity without me having to click through the process 86 times? It would be nice to offer this "multi-donation-feature" to all.
I just donated 15 shirts to try to assist.Thank you John! Very much appreciated.

Consider it done. Thank you for your contribution, it is really appreciated. We will definitely look into making that easier :)

I will follow up in messages, I was able to redeem shirts for you on our internal test environment.
If you want to donate all of your shirts, I will save you the time and fix it on our end. If there is a more custom request message me please.

I just redeemed another 22 shirts and the adjust total from before is 17 so 39 shirts in total so far.
I have another 50 or so there to redeem and if you can fix it, please let us know.

John I will donate all of them for you if that is what you want. I definitely don't want people to have to submit that many times.

I've redeemed two shirts for levels that I hadn't redeemed before. Please contribute/donate the remainder of my T-shirts to the Houston flood charity.
If there is any difference in the value of the T-shirts, please contribute Extra Large T-shirt values, rather than Small T-shirt values.

I just donated 73. Thanks for the painless way to send more money than I would have to start with.

I thought EE was going to take my shirts, but that did not happen, so I must have been confused.
So this morning, I spent 90 minutes redeemed my shirts - 200 shirts today in addition to 40 redeemed earlier, so 240 shirts redeemed.
Two things:
1. It was a trip down memory lane - shirts for now dead technologies.
2. It would be a very fine idea for EE The Company to match the monetary value of the shirts being donated.

I wrote earlier "I can earn another one sometime soon " . Another shirt today. Must stop earning shirts!
I donated some shirts, thanks. I also sent a package to Houston yesterday. People have lost their homes, cars, pictures, jobs, businesses, and more. Animals need help too. Some of my friends who are there are getting crews together and helping others clean up. Now Irma is kicking up and enormous -- pray for the safety of those in her path.
Too much water from the hurricanes, and not enough to stop the wild fires to the west.

Microsoft Activation Offline - Not for you guys in secure locations anymore!
With the removal of local account setup for Windows Installer from Win 11 25H2 those of us who work in locations that do not permit connection of device to the "outside world" for security reasons (or just because we don't like the "outside world") are now also unable to activate Windows offline using telephone activation.
That's also no longer available for Office 2024.
With both you can still generate an activation challenge code from your machine, but it seems Microsoft's activation support team can't process it .
If there's anyone around who has a direct line to Redmond? Can they confirm? Otherwise it looks like this is going to be an issue for the "one or two" (I can't confirm numbers for ... well ... reasons ...) secure locations around the world that need to be air-gapped (and not just those locations that are used for <Redacted>).

I would think volume licensing would be the only way to go.

UBUNTU 20.04 TERMINAL COMMANDS USEFULL FOR OPEN5GS
Linux ubuntu commands are a type of Unix command or shell procedure. They are the basic tools used to interact with Linux Open5gs platform on an individual test level. These are used to perform a variety of tasks, including displaying information about ip route files and network status of VM‘s.Example of most usefull commands are as follow;
‘sudo ip ro add default via {gateway_ipv4_address} dev {network_interface_name}’
sudo ip ro add 192.168.111 via 127.0.5
‘ip route show’ Command
Sample session:
default via 172.26.0.1 dev ens5 proto dhcp src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
10.147.164.0/24 dev incusbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.147.164.1
172.26.0.0/20 dev ens5 proto kernel scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
172.26.0.1 dev ens5 proto dhcp scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
172.26.0.2 dev ens5 proto dhcp scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
For External Test Node route Table
‘ip r’ Command
For adding node to list
‘Route –n ‘ Command
For test Statıstıcs
