15-inch MacBook Pro Battery Recall

by

If you received a 15-inch MacBook Pro from our Summer 2016 bulk purchase, you’ll likely be eligible to have your battery replaced, avoiding a potential fire safety risk.

Under “About This Mac,” eligible models should be displayed as “MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).”  If you have that model, please visit the Apple support page below, where you can enter your serial number to confirm whether your laptop is eligible for battery replacement, and you can find instructions for getting it replaced:

New winterm.eecs Windows login server

by

We are happy to announce the new version of winterm.eecs, our Windows Remote Desktop server. On Wednesday morning, June12, during the Windows patch cycle, we will update IP addresses to put the new server in place.

The new winterm.eecs runs Windows Server 2016, so it has the look and feel of a Windows 10 device. All of the usual software has been installed for you — if you notice something missing that you’ve been relying on, feel free to let us know at help@eecs. We have copied local profile data from the old winterm.eecs to the new one, to ease your transition.

The old winterm.eecs will remain available as “winterm-old.eecs.berkeley.edu” until the end of June.
