I totally get what you're explaining.Nothing is real safe when stored off site. Your not someone who would be targeted though. Your password should be complicated like one or more capital letters, one or more numbers and one or more special characters. This is true for anything. One mistake people make is to use another computer and access their cloud data and totally miss the part where it says save password. Many people have their browsers setup to save everything. Like....going into your bank account and it says to enter your username. Later on you can double click on that field and it will recall every username entered. Bottom line. Don't access your data on any other computer.
If someone breaks into Google with a privileged account all bets are off. They can clean out everything. That's the bomb. How do they do that? They find someones Iphone, laptop or wallet containing the sequence of multilayer keys to the vault. Janitor at Google takes the postit on someones wall with important usernames and passwords and sells it. Who the HELL can remember 1Xj&^72LL0o99. In a place like Google or Microsoft people are not allowed to pick passwords. They are generated for them to be complicated and change every month week or day.
The ULTIMATE way to protect your data is to get an encryption app to encrypt your data before uploading and decrypting it on download.
Also. Any pictures, data or anything you store on the cloud, Youtube, photobucket can be used by ANYONE for ANYTHING. You just gave up that right when you agreed to the terms and conditions. As an example. You and your girlfriend who you are cheating on your wife with go to Aruba and share a private Photobucket account of your trip. A marketing firm with bots that scan all pictures realize you were at a resort they work for and find the ultimate promo pic. They have the right to take it and produce brochures for the resort using you and your honey on the front page or commercials on TV. BUSTED!!!!
America's funniest videos or CNN showing videos or pictures all come from those places. They don't need your permission.
Bottom line is to do the encryption thing. Pretty much impossible to break the code unless your the CIA with a supercomputer trying every password combination until their in.
Here's the best one. Ever see those comercials on TV that says here's Jane checking her bank account and here's Ted stealing her info. It's so F'ing easy it's not funny. This is how most celebrity photos are stolen.
Doesn't matter. Flying J, Starbucks or ANYPLACE with WIFI. Free or not.
Here is a screen shot of WIFI from my truck. As you can guess, UrMamasSoFAT is me. I can name it anything I want like "Pilot WIFI 4". I'll just right click on the real Pilot login page and save all their images and make my own login page. Same as Starbucks or anyone else. I then tell my hotspot to direct everyone that connects to me to go to MY login page. Now I have your username and password and can login and get free WIFI using your points.
Now go to Starbucks in Hollywood and do the same only this time lets be a little better. We will do the same thing with the Starbucks login page but we really don't want that. I'll honor all their requests to go to Google and everything else. What I'm waiting for is for them to log into Bank of America. That's when I jump in and use my own Bank of America login screen. I grab their username and password then disconnect. The person thinks nothing of it and thinks Starbucks internet barfed so they log in again and everything is fine.
I wait until maybe 2am and log into their Bank of America account and do a wire transfer. Happens immediately. Cash check in morning or whatever. But you say I'll get caught because they know where the money was transferred. Not so. I can tell you how to get a checking account under a different name. That's easy also.
Have a nice day.

Sent it to a buddy of mine who's also a mechanical engineer at work. When shit was getting too real at work, we'd "call a meeting" and then that would get played. Some how we always walked away with a working solution then.

I wonder what that equipment he's messing with is actually for.

we used a lot of stuff like that as machine controls. Relays for motors, PLC's (Programmable logic controllers) etc. Industrial controls for a manufacturing production line really is all it's for. All the stuff that limit switches etc would get routed back to for starting or ending another process.
That's the kind of stuff I worked with here....

Picked up a load of stone in PA headed to Salt Lake City which I delivered on Monday. Been screwing off ever since eating spaghetti and meatballs from Denny's and watching TV. When I picked the load up I started leaking coolant but couldn't tell where. When it hit the ground it looked like oil and coolant mixed together so I was like, OH NO. Drove 17 miles to the first garage that I called and they said they could help. I was blowing steam all over the road heading there.
The oil was just oil that washed off the bottom of the engine. It was a broken hose going to the coolant overflow tank. He took it off and instead of being flexible it was like solid steel. $179 later and I was off. Dodged a bullet there.
Rigmaster has been running great then all of a sudden stopped working and would not start. It was so cold I didn't even go outside and pull the cover off. I called the dealer in Gretna, NE and he could take me on Saturday morning. I was lucky. It worked out it was on my way and matched my schedule. They had it running in 30 seconds. The exciter wire to the alternator came off. They just needed to crimp it tighter and put it back on. I never would have found it. They guy reached his hand behind the engine blind and knew what the problem was.
Since I had my truck there I had them do a PM, new fuel filter, air filter, glow plugs, replace the air cleaner enclosure which wasn't tight anymore and replaced a bunch of other little things. $260. I was expecting a new starter and a $600 dollar bill. Stocked up on 2 new fuel filters and 2 sets of glow plugs.
Delivered in Lindon, UT.
Headed to the Flying J here in Springville, UT. All sorts of heavy loads for $1.05 to $1.25 going nowhere. Got paid well to come here so I may be headed for a long dead head out back to civilization.
@DubbleD keeps sending me dirty txt messages. He had a Slim Jim sticking out his zipper trying to make me believe it was his wiener.

Tri-pacs have an 50 amp fuse down by the alternator that will do the same thing. Buried between the alternator and the fuel filter where you just can't see it at all. Unless you know it's there. They want $260 for the "relocation kit" which is nothing but a maxi-fuse plug holder with cover and a 12" piece of wire crimped onto it with a dozen zip-ties.
My carrier reefer has a similar set-up but with just a fuse holder. Carrier wants $55 for that part. You can get it at the local parts house for under $5.

Not surprising.
another reason I can't justify the cost of an APU unit. they nickel and dime you to death for every little part. hell go out and buy a genset and if it breaks beyond repair toss it buy another one and move on
Words of wisdom from someone who owns neither!
Harley-Davidson, anyone?
if I need a part i'll try to find it cheaper other than the manufacture providing it matches the job it's needed for. I won't pay 3x more just for a brand name. it's all made in china now adays
that's what I would do is goto my local parts house and buy parts and google out the controls to see if you can get them cheaper online than through the dealer!! and if you can fix it yourself then you save a ton of money on labor charges
