Similarly @why2025camp@chaos.social #why2025, can you tell me why this light was allowed to be rigged without a safety cable?
This is a 2kg outdoor access point mounted above a position where people regularly stand with zip ties and again no safety. Can you imagine what happens if a 2kg object falls on someone's head?
@why2025noc@hsnl.social perhaps you should invest in safety cables for all of your APs. CCHH mandates you use them for Congress anyway, but you should be using them every time
@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @why2025noc@hsnl.social consider the fact that lots of places have no building codes, it puts this in perspective - fairly minor but i agree it should be secured #knowledge deficit #best practices
Perhaps my favourite was this AP mounted with load baring electrical tape over the queue for one of the bar POS terminals.
I repeat that: Load bearing electrical tape #why2025
If you're running an event like this, I beg of you, please assemble a team who's job it is to verify that things are mounted at height correctly and that has veto power. It is absolutely necessary.
The lighting here was all rigged by so called professionals! The fact you're paying someone to do it clearly doesn't mean they are doing a safe job

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net 1000%.
I didn't even rig shit without safety cables in my own house, when I made the wacky move of having a full lighting truss in our front room.
pros should know better. unacceptable.
