LOV3, LOV4, LOW1, Foxconn, Ari power outage again

[Artur Dubrawski]

Team,

I cancel the "yellow card" for Ankit.

There will be no further yellow or other cards issued in the Lab.
We may make an occasional exception for a greeting card though.

Machines are built to serve humans, not the other way around.

Predrag please go ahead and purchase the needed UPS.
In the future, please discuss these sorts of issues directly with me.

Cheers,
Artur
