Equipment Care

Systems must remain powered on and connected to power, network, display, and input devices at all times.
You are expected to keep your desk and equipment clean, which requires you to perform regular maintenance.

Pornography
Commercial activity
Unsolicited bulk messaging
Heavy scraping/downloading (let us know first)
Cryptocurrency mining for personal use
Accessing another person’s account/credentials

If unsure, get approval first.
