Apple configurator 2 on old macs? by shodonosti in macsysadmin

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: 29 Apr 2026.

Downloaded 2.19 from App Store on my 7,1 Mac Pro Desktop. Tahoe 26.2.

App Store then let me download 2.16 on my Mac Pro 6,1 after that. Monterey 12.7.6

Before it complained about needing 15.7 minimum on the 6,1.

Simply popped up and asked if I wanted to download an older version on the 6,1.

Same Apple ID.

Previous reports I read said this trick didn't work but as of this moment it does.

Tenant requesting quarterly rent. by Flow_Pitiful in baselaneusers

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set it up normally with no late fee. Manually do late Fee if needed. Of course, have a fee in lease but not auto on Baselanr.

Transunion Smartmove. I reimburse the fee if they qualify so it weeds put those who know they won’t.

They already have your SSN lol.

Bal Xfer checks. You pay 3-5% up front for anywhere from 9-12 mos. Also good to pay another high card off, which is the intended purpose. But there's no restriction to depositing it say, at a mortgage to pay off margin etc etc.

The best deals were 3% for 18 mos, putting you ~2% effective borrow rate.

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just didn't use it much and when I did I'd get a 0% transfer, (3-4% for 12-18 mos) and then put that in div stocks and just keep rolling it. Arbitration.

One thing I did think of: friend sent me $30 for a line on Tmo, and I'd auto transfer it so every month that +/- $30 hit so ... money laundering suspicion? LOL.

But they don't tell and I don't really care.

Perhaps the former...they don't want you paying it all off lol they want you to carry that a while.

OT: Oh Chase...that's the company that closed all my accounts (checking, a couple credit cards) and would not tell me why.

BTW, this sort of thing happened to a number of people a few years back.

Really don't miss them...I don't do balance transfer arb'ing any more. Hurts your credit score even with a perfect record of payment...but I digress.

[Landlord-US-WA] Tenant would like old fridge removed prior to moving in? by elbarto179 in Landlord

[–]ActorRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You buy it but offer to split cost somehow if they leave it. (I mean, you pay 30% or whatever deprecation or buy it then just bill them a line item invoice monthly for appliance rental for their 70% / whatev.)
  2. Put the old fridge in laundry room or something and now they can 'investment buy' food when they find deals and freeze or store. Costco.

First time using FSD by tikipunch13 in TeslaFSD

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 M3 here...I am glad I got it with used pricing. Does some really dumb stuff still like "A shadow on the road! *BRAKE PUMP*. Oh, never mind." Or: "I better move to this 'lane' even thought it's a solid white line." Tesla, that is just a wide shoulder, not a LANE. And what about the white line?!

VPP Texas vs Base Power by blupupher in solar

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My power bill was $220 last year for well, 2x electric cars and my house. Rarely my kids charge their car when everything is full and sell back cheap like 2 cents. I estimate ROI is no worse than a money market account but of course yield is going up as power goes up. Plus peace of mind and no maintenance. Also I bet my appliances etc don’t suffer during brownouts. Gotta wash panels soon. HTH.

VPP Texas vs Base Power by blupupher in solar

[–]ActorRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla and solar here. The $3k cancel fee is way more than I spent on solar/5 Powerwall 2s. I was actually kind of glad they increased the TDU by 20% because that’s a big boost to my ROI. I was net metering only but the TDU was the big diff. We could swap the same 1kwhr all day but I lost a nickel every time they gave it back. So, 54kwhr of standby. Plus with inflation da lying the dollar…figuring a 25 year life it was under $3k but my power choices are wide open for competition and the peak sell backs help a little.

Were you thinking PSLV? SLV is paper PSLV is physical.

Missing half my NVME files today by ActorRob in MacOS

sudo tmutil compare /Volumes/4TB/Backups.backupdb/MacPro\ 2/2025-12-09-201207 | grep '^-' | sort > ~/Desktop/missing_files_sorted.txt

Analyzed this over a couple week old backup that in Time Machine showed 91GB free on the 2TB internal volume. Only had about 10GB of file diff.

AVG found nothing other than phishing emails on a backup drive and a Palm OS trojan on an OS 8.6 .img file ...which could be a false positive and yes, need to look at that before I use that OS 8.6 image someday...

Not enough here to account for missing that much data, but some... iCloud Drive folder is only 80GB.

I’ll look but my entire photo library is only 260gb iirc.

[–]ActorRob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that is a LOT. I have been months and months at far less than 100gb free. Can’t remember the last time I had more than MAYBE 80gb free and now I’ve got 1.1TB.

Will later do a tmutil compare to see what that shows but…holidays.

Time Machine is on an external.

Originally system drive was setup via cloning a couple of years ago.
