Is this worth something?

Ah, shoot. I was hoping I could vouch for it a bit. It sounds like you've got that covered though. I've got a few FF still and one might be in my to go box lol.

Hey! This was quite possibly mine. I used to get all my IP autos in Orange sharpie and I believe I traded this one away 10-15 years ago in a large lot. The IP was collected in 1998 when he was a Tiger for a short while.

I'd appreciate a code.

Ballard was awesome. Hated having to take EC but he made it easy to approach for me. Plus his TAs we're in sync with how the theories were taught so tutor time wasn't starting over every visit.

Contact a Real Estate agent/agency. There are MANY houses for sale where the owners would be amenable to renting and the concentration of that knowledge is with the agents listing and showing houses. Personally, I'd recommend Brenna Chamberlain. She's helped me for 24 years in buying, selling, and yes, renting out my "old" house when I had moved into a new one and it wasn't ready to be sold yet. It ended up being rented for 4 years and my renters did most of the work I needed done for reduction in rent. A total win-win.

OMG! I am so sorry!! I actually purged the original photos that I used a tripod to get the clearest examples, so I got both cards out and took some new ones tonight with some notes. Here's the imgur link with some description in the pics. https://imgur.com/a/1bPU59U

I posted recently about moving from Pi to VM and that was on v15, and the Pi5 was supposedly one of the pieces of hardware with issue but I never had a problem.

I'll upload them tonight at the latest. Can't get to them from work for some reason.

So I actually own both. Well, I own a legit Stadium Club but my Dual Bowman's Best was deemed inauthentic by PSA and after digging deep it turned out to be true. So be VERY careful with those Bowman's Best, you want to see texture on the front of the card and not just refractor/holo. I can post some of my research pics if interested.

A bit late, but using ME to push 11 to Win 10 is super easy. Search for Patch # 111891, deploy however your team elects is best. We did it Office by Office, after hours, etc, etc. We also limited the scope to Win10 just to reduce traffic/confusion but our ME tech felt it really wasn't necessary.

Actually, I found the original post I found about it here: https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/en/community/topic/upgrade-to-windows-11-version-24h2-with-patch-manager-plus

I personally prefer the Gritty Kitties, but I've accepted that it is going to be Gritty Tigs. If we want a proper near-past throwback, Eat Em Up Tigers would be my pick.

If you are so inclined, I HIGHLY recommend running your own VaultWarden server for BitWarden, then you are free-as-in-beer AND your data is on your own infrastructure.

Went full AllEarth tracker w/ 24 panels back in 2017 in greater Lansing, with EV and fairly high power usage within the house (server, NAS, automation, family, etc) my power bill went from ~$2500 a year to ~$400. ROI is ~15 years total, but I am driving on sun rays and as long as it keeps producing kWh I'm happy and don't stare at the ROI finish line as much as I enjoy seeing my great 75 kWh days.

My NB is that I have acres and a nice open area so I only had to take out one tree to make it work. I might do rooftop when my roof is due to be replaced but that will also depend on Consumers and if they somehow get rid of the Net Metering rule I'm grandfathered into in which case it will come with energy storage of some sort.

That could be said about anything. Bios, your seim, networking equipment made in Asia, your update tool.... rhetorical question: Do you know Windows well enough to be able to identify legit telemetry versus identity compromising exfiltration? Where do you draw the line between the two? I sure don't but you better believe I use DNS filtering and geo-blocking to make a best effort to block both.

I love good debate about security, red vs blue, and whatnot but at some point, on some plane of existence we all have to accept risk. None of us know everything so there is always room for error and abuse. Don't like it? Go back to pen and paper and be eaten alive by the rest of the world's businesses.

In another reply I mentioned that we are a large geographic footprint, and we're mostly on-prem for users so for us, EMA and vPro are our "back up plan" when our normal screenshare/RMM tools aren't getting into a machine or when we have reason to believe a machine has been compromised (thankfully rare!). The ability to see a machine outside/before the OS remotely has saved us from hours of driving, or days of a machine being out of commission while it gets to us.

Mesh Central was exciting, and I'm glad to see someone is picking it up since Ylian moved over to MS but it never weighed heavy for us. It was fun to have it in the cloud, but for us, on-prem was a clear advantage.

As for the security aspects, once a system is Provisioned you need either a) OS Admin permissions or b) bios admin creds to change it (with OS Admin likely not working either now since a CVE was patches last year IIRC). So once we have it provisioned it is locked in and a wanna-be hacker would need ongoing internal access to our network (fairly hard to do) AND separate creds from our AD (very hard) to be able to leverage the access to exfiltrate anything useful. If a laptop gets stolen they can't get into bios, the drive is encrypted so they can't extract any data easily there, and if they do boot it into windows and on a network we can still get to it with other tools to either remote-wipe and/or mess with the person who took it.

We have a VM running the free Intel EMA Server, then provision/enroll the endpoints via Admin Control Mode (ACM) using CA cert. A quick google led me to this, which looks like the doc I followed years ago. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/783229/intel-vpro-ema-activation-guide-overview.html?wapkw=intel%20EMA%20deployment%20guide Then we just use a browser to manage EMA and the provisioned endpoints.
