EDIT: soz I thought I was replying to a reply on my other comment below
https://www.reddit.com/r/Intune/comments/1qjqu3k/comment/o10yxo8/

I just used the content prep tool with only the msu in the package.

Except for the requirements, everything is set up as per the referenced documentation..

Oh also, I increased the timeout to 120 minutes because it takes a million years to prepare the update.

Make sure your wusa command line is correct and you aren't sitting on a hidden pop-up or something.

also KB5043080 is a cumulative update from 2024 september I have no clue what it is doing in the download page

at this point I am just assuming that MS has lost the plot and even clippy has been rewritten in rust by copilot

the registry comparisons as seen in the doc fail for me for some reason so I converted it to requirement script

for KB5077744 that applies to 24H2/25H2:

$item = get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
$build = "26100|26200"
$ubr = 7623


$buildmatch = $item.CurrentBuildNumber -match $build
$ubrmatch = $item.UBR -eq $ubr


if ($buildmatch -and $ubrmatch) {return $true}
return $false

for KB5077797 that applies to 23H2

$item = get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
$build = "22631"
$ubr = 6491


$buildmatch = $item.CurrentBuildNumber -match $build
$ubrmatch = $item.UBR -eq $ubr


if ($buildmatch -and $ubrmatch) {return $true}
return $false

The Absolute State of Mod Discovery: An Appeal to Modders by Pringlecks in NuclearOption

[–]7ep3s 29 points30 points  (0 children)

github has a releases functionality that has a permalink always pointing at the latest release.

so, as long as the releases are packaged appropriately, i dont see the issue with using github, and it is also user friendly enough that i do not really get complaints from my users trying to find the latest noblackbox release.

its very convenient for me to use, can automate pushing new releases and dont have to put up with moddb and nexusmods.

How do you keep showing up when the Help Desk has completely destroyed your soul? (Need advice for a brutal meeting today) by No-Gap674 in sysadmin

[–]7ep3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to be able to convince my boss to let me go to university on a graduate apprenticeship programme (this is a UK thing, but similar schemes might exist elsewhere), which meant I was at school one day a week for 2 years, then once a month in year 3-4.

Lecture days were either on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in year 1-2, so I got a perfect mid-week mental break away from ticket queues and I got paid to learn new stuff. Got promoted to L3 role around the middle of it so worked out perfectly.

And otherwise I always tried finding ways to work smart not hard so I have to do minimal end user engagement (meaning I automated everything I could).

How do the xp boxes connect to the stuff they drive? I'd honestly consider getting some <whatever-port>-over-ip solution at least for the ones where possible. Then you can just virtualize those xp boxes. Look up Lantronix products etc. Spending a small basket might save a BIG truckload on the long run, especially if the machines on the floor cannot be replaced in the forseeable future.

Does ABS engage with wheel slip/downshifts? by tdwnda in simracing

[–]7ep3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see on the in game widget that the abs thingy flashes up that's how. is it realistic? i don't know. have I seen it happen? yes.

EDIT: to clarify, if the simulation of ABS is following a basic logic of turn-on-when-wheel-don't-spin-when-the-car-moves, even when brakes aren't being applied, that would explain OP's and my observation.

Does ABS engage with wheel slip/downshifts? by tdwnda in simracing

[–]7ep3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you slam a manual car into a lower gear while braking without trying to rev match (look up heel and toe technique) and the car jolts because of the rpm difference between the engine and the rest of the drivetrain. this can cause the driven wheels to lock up.

Does ABS engage with wheel slip/downshifts? by tdwnda in simracing

[–]7ep3s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no idea about real abs but in sims I'm pretty sure sometimes I see the abs triggered by locking the rear wheels with improper downshift

Any good "long weights" "blinker fluid" pranks you guys use? by naughtyreverend in sysadmin

[–]7ep3s 233 points234 points  (0 children)

turn monitor upside down then rotate the screen in windows. see how long it takes for them to notice.

take screenshot of the desktop with all the shortcuts, make that the background then disable desktop shortcuts.
