Topics:

- Sam shares a story about a non-profit client who erased their main storage drive when directed by Seagate phone support to reformat the backup and selected the wrong hard drive. The story inadvertently turns into a therapy session for Sam. Jerry then coins the term "The Valencia Technique".

- we all know about /var/db/.AppleSetupDone; anyone heard of .AppleUpgrade or .AppleLaunchMigration? Joe discusses an interesting troubleshooting case on an iMac running Sierra

- Circle with Disney (oddly a square device) connects to a network to monitor and allow/deny network traffic based on limits set by parents. Joe has his introductory experience with this device and explains what he has learned so far.
