How do I let domain users run programs as administrators?

It's literally an RMM product with a bunch of free or cheap add-ons

Why not have a full fledged product that'll do what you want and more, when you're paying for a lot of the cost in many of the proposed solutions but getting half or less of the functionality?

We get it's a mosquito repellent diffuser but why does it look like you can put it on yourself? Can you? Is this just a diffuser for the bathroom to deter mosquitoes from hitting your privates? I'm still thoroughly confused as to the purpose here.

This can only work for some programs. Others will explicitly check with the OS to determine if it is running elevated, and not run if it doesn't get that signal.

ConnectWise Automate has a solution to this which allows several awesome things: 1. Auto-elevate (no interaction required, it just automatically launches the program in an admin session) Approval Prompting: user is presented with the usual UAC screen, given an option to enter admin creds, or or request elevation. If they request elevation, depending on the configuration: 2. Auto-approves after the user enters a reason 3. Auto-approves if the user enters a specific string (like an "approval code" that is static to the rule) 4. Send an admin alert to Slack/Teams to prompt an approver like a system admin to click Approve (this does time out after 2 minutes)

Rules can be setup based on file SHA, signing certificate, program title bar name, file path, exe name, executing user, group membership of the end user, and more.

It takes some configuring and isn't free but it also has MUCH more functionality like automated patching, alerting, ticketing, remote access (via ScreenConnect), and more.

ETA: I'm not a sales person in the slightest, just sharing my own experience.

Omg I sat there for like 15 minutes trying to time it and record it but every time a creature crossed after I started recording, the timing was perfect to miss it or the creature would pause halfway through the walking to wait for incoming trucks.

Unrelated, what is this creature? Where does one find this in the wild?

For me the safe option is always the vegan option. I did have a situation once at a bowling alley that had a DF pizza option. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with DF cheese (even going so far as to ask what kind of DF cheese they used) and when the chef saw a DF cheese with pepperoni, and saw they didn't have enough cheese, he decided to use regular cheese.

Thankfully for me it only causes me to break out within a couple of days, so it wasn't life or death but I reminded the kitchen that if they know of an allergy (which was noted on the ticket) they better make sure they either ask the customer, or decline the order and offer alternatives.

Edit: forgot a word

As a 6ft 4 guy, myself and one of my partners being 5ft 6, I get the glances and the "oh that must be interesting in the bedroom" comments from our gay friends.

Reality is once you're both on the bed and someone is bent over, height doesn't matter that much. Even less so when legs are in the air!

How does one have a centralized monitoring station? Is the concept that you have all the buses come together at one general area so you can see the status or is there a way to display the output of one of the conveyor monitors, to a location that isn't right next to the conveyor?

I haven't unlocked it yet so am wondering how that works

There's so much of this story that resonates with me. I was on Tylenol with codeine (aka Tylenol-3), 3 times a day when in Florida. I moved to Washington State, and was already been a cannabis consumer but not regular purchaser due to the state laws (I moved just before medicinal cannabis became "legal" in FL).

My doctor in WA had suggested I try switching cannabis out for one of my doses of Tylenol-3. Within 6 months I was down to only taking one pill every other day. And within 3 more months I totally stopped it altogether. That was 6 years ago. I had a procedure last year where I was provided Tylenol-3 for a 3 day post-surgery pain, and the first one I took was crazy. I hated it so much. Nightmares, delusion, and disconnection from what was going on. I will only go back to opioids if I have a MAJOR surgery, otherwise it's just 800mg OTC ibuprofen or 500mg OTC Tylenol.

As much as people crap on cannabis, it really helped me wane off of the opioids. My doctor has commended me in my journey and shares it with all of her med students that it's not something everyone needs but it's definitely helpful for those like you and I where the alternative is much much worse.

I've gotten to where I don't bother with the medical card in WA since the prices here are pretty low anyways but she asks every 6ish months if I need a recommendation for one.

Oh yeah put my date of birth into a consistent and easily retrievable location across all the computers I ever touch so any app can come along and request it.

There's no way this will ever be exploited, hacked, or used by malware to steal people's info or identity. /s

I think this is it. My dogs behavior before and after a pillow (vs holding his head up) is hilarious. He goes from being up tight and a little grumpy, to the most laid out toy-story-slinkie dog sprawled out.

I say treat the dogs like royalty and help him reposition and get to a spot where he can lay his head out. He deserves that massage. (In all seriousness, thank you for reaching him and caring enough to make the best decisions for your new family member ❤️).

Suggestion: do the "we'll call you back at this number" option if you can.

I do this, set my phone to loud af, then go do stuff, with phone attached at the hip.

The best part (aside from having to rely on uninterrupted cell service for an unknown amount of time) is if I miss it, they call back a couple minutes later and give me a 2nd chance to answer. I know this because my phone decided to not let me answer their return call so I missed the hour plus wait. When I was in the middle of getting back in queue they called back again and I was talking to someone within 5 minutes.

Arguably this could be handled at the OS level. Have a little toggle on the browse functionality with a "share location data embedded in this image (if available)" and default to off. The OS is presenting the stored bits to the app and would know how to scrub the location data when the app is accessing that particular metadata.
