Am at HHN, and robb just "fixed" that big TV by successfully and completely connecting the HDMI cable that was apparently "removed" by someone else. So the Hitachi really _wasn't_ dead after all.

Help organize a Net Neutrality Protest Dec. 7th!

by Ed Biow

On Dec. 14th the FCC [1] (Federal Communication Commission) is preparing to dismantle net neutrality [2] which prevents the huge internet service providers' oligopoly from unfairly discriminating against websites it doesn't like and would help lead to the privatization & commercialization of the internet. But the grassroots is fighting back! Folks are organizing protests at Verizon stores locations around the country. Verizon [3], in particular, will make bigly profits from the destruction of net neutrality. In the Oakland-Berkeley area there are 3 Verizon locations, and as of yet, apparently no one is organizing [4] any actions there. We are going to be the laughing stock of the national movement. If you can be a contract for one of these Verizon protests, just go to verizonprotests.com [5] and enter your contact info [6] for the location that you pick! (The details are at the web site). The protests are taking place on (or before) December 7th, so please help out with this just as soon as you can! Me, I'm useless, the 7th is my first wife's birthday (she was born on the 25th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day) and she wants me to take her to Calistoga to view the smoking ruins. And the way I look, I better stick with the partner I have. Thanks for all you do, Ed & the rump of Occupy Oakland Local Verizon stores: A Verizon Emeryville 3990 Hollis St · (510) 547-3210 B Verizon Oakland 3264 Lakeshore Ave · (510) 267-0731 C Verizon Berkeley 2209 Shattuck Ave · (510) 845-4282 Links: ------ [1] https://www.battleforthenet.com/#widget-learn-more [2] https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now [3] https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/12/15959932/comcast-verizon-att-net-neutral… [4] https://events.battleforthenet.com/#eventType=protestrally [5] http://verizonprotests.com/ [6] http://act.demandprogress.org/event/team-internet/create/

sudoroom BigTV television dead?

by Jake

it seems that the big TV that's screwed to the balcony has stopped working. It's plugged into live AC but the power doesn't come on even when i press the power button. i'm guessing that this is because it's dead. i've tried to fix TVs like this before and it's just too many screws, in addition to hunting down a new transistor or whatever... so it's unlikely to happen. anyway if anyone feels like doing anything about it, go ahead and double-check that the AC power is really getting to it (although i'm pretty sure i checked) and then probably you'll have to take it down from the wall. Then you can see if it blew a fuse, and then see what happens if you put another fuse in (it will blow it again) and then see if you can figure out what's wrong - maybe it's just a bad capacitor! but it's probably a lot more. and then it can go in the e-waste pile and Cere can disassemble it further to see what's inside. and then we can take one of those TVs from under the stairs and put it up instead. -jake

need helper moving equipment around in a warehouse

by Leticia Menchaca

Hi, Looking for someone to help me for a few hours - heavy lifter and careful - to organize tools, move heavy equipment, etc., in a warehouse in Emeryville next to home depot (dogtown studios). I estimate it may take three or four hours - during an evening (or two) starting about 6pm, since I can only be there after work - either today, tomorrow, or next week (not sure I can be available during the weekend) - need to get it done sooner than later - I think two people will be better than one. $22/hour If you are interested,send me a text, or email. Leticia (from CCL) 510-292-7849 --

0mn1 cleaning day :)

by robb

As an OMNI collective we are responsible for some of the cleaning that needs to happen. Phil from Food Not Bombs has done an immense amount of cleaning - we should take on some of the burden. OMNI now has official cleaning days: the third Saturday from 12 to 3pm and last Wednesday from 5:30 to 8:30pm. The next one is Wed. 11/29 Alternatively we can come any time and do a task on the checklists that have been put up around the commons and sign off on it. hack the planet
