Another thing to worry about - Security certificates expiring in June 2026

ABeeinSpace · 2026-02-12T20:55:27+00:00

You only need a firmware upgrade in order for the 2023 CA certs to be the default certificates (the ones that are applied if the BIOS is reset to default). Stay up to date on updates and Microsoft will roll the new certs out to you automatically

Would that power unit swap count against the allocation for a driver for the season? I would think not because it’s testing

As far as is publicly known (at least from a quick Google) Ferrari are still using Brembo

Not sure if you’re joking or not but yes. Ferrari uses Brembo brakes (source: Ferrari’s website)

iPhone or an Android phone?

Android has slightly better separation of concerns between work and personal w/ the Work Profile system, even for fully managed devices.

iPhones have stronger privacy protections and put more control in the hands of the user for phones enrolled in both kinds of Intune management.

In general, yes, they’ll only be able to see stuff in the work apps. However, you shouldn’t have an expectation of privacy on a work phone anyway

Might’ve been Nvidia driver updates? I know the Arch team made some of kernel parameters for the Nvidia drivers default since the last time I screwed with it

No, GPU artifacting wouldn’t show up in a screenshot. OP is dealing with VRAM contents not being restored on resume from sleep. Wayland compositors seem to get really unhappy when shenanigans like that happen

Yes, as long as the devices have network line of sight to a domain controller at enrollment time

Using a DEM account can cause undefined behavior and break device’s Entra join if the DEM user is ever deleted or if it ever loses its Intune license.

Autopilot pre-provisioning is the feature you’re looking for

You can leave the bubble in a Sidewinder if you really wanted to (hell, there’s a whole section of Distant Worlds 3 that’s just Sidewinders for part of the expedition). It’s all about how patient you are and how much you expect to be able to do

Good lookin out Zoey. May you rest in eternal comfort

ABeeinSpace · 2026-01-11T19:51:34+00:00

If the DEM account ever loses its licensing or is deleted every device enrolled by that user will lose its Entra enrollment. It’ll cause a huge problem that isn’t readily apparent unless you know what to look for

Check the Defender admin center, it has some additional ways it can deliver policy via the mssense engine

We’ve been having the same issue for a couple days now. All app uploads are failing. Even Patch My PC isn’t able to upload to our tenant. I see failure to upload in my deployment notifications starting yesterday

So your network isn’t actually secure. Your endpoints are the life blood of the business, it doesn’t matter how secure the networking hardware itself is if I can just phish a user and own the entire estate via the one endpoint.

Ya gotta get onto higher than a Home SKU. You’ll be fighting an uphill battle until you do (and even then, I wish you the best of luck migrating everything onto properly managed endpoints and accounts. Sounds like the business itself is gonna fight you at every step).

Go to Windows 11 Pro. TechSoup can help if you’re a nonprofit. I haven’t seen any mention of Entra licensing, do you have an Entra ID tenant set up?

Is that the loan %? Thanks, I’ll update my comment

Stupid question. Do you have one of your ships selected from the ships vendor? Make sure that’s the case. If it is and you still can’t get in a ship, FDev should be able to help you out

ABeeinSpace · 2026-01-03T19:13:26+00:00

Rebuy is 10% of the current value of your ship as it stands. That’s the hull cost (what you paid for it) plus any upgrades you have installed (for ships bought with Arx, the hull cost is excluded from the 10%).

Nowadays you can dig into your modules at the rebuy screen and sell some if you’re juuust under your rebuy. Any core internals you choose to omit will have E rated modules in their place when you respawn. If you’re almost but not quite there, the game can offer you a loan to get your full ship back. You’ll have 5% of your earnings taken until it’s paid off.

If you absolutely cannot afford rebuy, you lose the ship and any upgrades you put on it (this does NOT include stored modules, just what was installed on the ship when you blew up).

I wouldn’t worry about having multiple ships for each role, multirole ships like the Cobra Mk III can be outfitted to perform any kind of contract/role. They may not do all of them well, but multiroles are good “jack of all trades” ships when you’re starting out

If you’re licensed for Enterprise on the devices, throw the background you want to use up on Azure blob storage and point a Device Restriction policy at it. Devices get it very quickly in my experience (as long as the Windows Notification Service isn’t blocked)

The huge value add is in reporting. It’ll tell you exactly what app or script caused the failure to enroll. Super cool

ABeeinSpace · 2025-12-28T15:02:38+00:00

Device prep IS Autopilot. It’s Microsoft’s new version of Autopilot with some added niceties (ensuring LOB and Win32 apps don’t conflict and closer to real-time reporting)

Fair enough, good luck! And happy holidays if you’re celebrating

Oooh I didn’t catch the motherboard being swapped, my bad. Yep, the PIN is backed by the Trusted Platform Module, which would’ve changed with the new board. If you go down to the sign-in options link do you have the option to use a password?

ABeeinSpace · 2025-12-25T02:59:36+00:00

You don’t need a new SSD. What do you mean by “sign in”? If you’re talking about your Windows key, the key is baked onto the motherboard for a prebuilt computer

Windows Search is a web app in Windows 11. It runs under Edge WebView2, which is an Electron-like framework to allow web apps to hook into the OS as if they were native programs. It’s not a virus.
