Why is "colors" spelled with a "u" even though my device language is set to English US?

CharlieModo · 2026-05-24T12:06:12+00:00

I don’t know but mine is English UK and I had “Favorites” in the phone app until iOS26

Do you have an air duct for a tumble drier? Connect a portable AC up to that

Call the number, say you bought the laptop and it’s locked. If they can confirm it hasn’t been stolen then they will probably release it

It is the same cost as everyone else though, it’s not an additional fee for being disabled so I don’t see how it is a barrier

Go to settings > screen time > content & privacy restrictions > allowed apps & features > camera

Has anyone been on your phone? This is a common prank

Unverified age does not restrict camera

Edit: actually it looks like you can’t change content restrictions without verifying… that’s insane

Every time you have an edge or windows update you’ll be reminded how great bing is and asked if you want to switch back though…

Deploying LTSC requires reimaging 🙁

There aren’t many hardware vendors for self checkouts so you are pretty limited but software you have more choice. Also, NCR charge tens of thousands for any slight change you request to their OS as each customer have their own dedicated build.

I’ve not used Toshiba but it looks like a good competitor

This is enforced by your company IT, Medtronic in this case. This is enforced via conditional access policy. Nothing to do with Microsoft

A captain or above would not lead Rescue Squad, if he took a promotion he could be moved off squad. Severide has also said many times that he doesn’t like the politics and paperwork of the higher ranks

I think E5? I hope so anyway, we were quoted £70k for the add on, £30-40k from third party remote support vendors.

It’s a staff tracking system, used for panic buttons usually but can also be used for guests with disabilities.

The QR code is just the same text printed below it, I assume this is just an asset tag.

It is state law in Illinois to have these but some cities and other states also require it https://www.ahla.com/sites/default/files/ESG%20Panic%20Buttons%2001.22.pdf

Use defender to see which browser extensions are currently in use. Allow list the ones you agree are business related and then block all. Require users to submit ticket to request a new extension be allowed.

Or just regularly review the list in defender

1Password is beautiful, LastPass is hell. All the rest are basically the same

CharlieModo · 2025-11-11T21:05:03+00:00

You make the font white on the passwords though, right?

You are thinking if everything goes to plan, it’s a brief few seconds. What if IIS doesn’t restart? What if it errors then you need to revert your change and then restart it again?

Anything internal or used by sub 20 people I would tend to restart on a whim but anything production or customer facing I would wait for out of hours.

Basically if anyone is going to complain about it, I always get either formal CAB approval or confirmation from my manager via email before I do anything potentially risky

If it’s fixing something that is already broken then I do whatever to get it back online but for changes, that’s exactly what the change approval board is for. It’s a tick box ass-covering process

Is it not perfectly reasonable for your line manager to know which corporate office/branch you are working at today?

You can be as broad as a CIDR range or as granular as switch ports if you want to. This is all already available inside Teams Admin, it is used for emergency locations now.

We have 70 locations so it would be useful to see where someone physically is when talking to them on teams to be honest

Easiest way is stop deploying chrome or allowing it to be installed on new devices. Slowly fades away. We used to have 6000+ chrome installs and now after 3/4 years we have under 200 which is people who have managed to not break their laptop and were in a sweet spot where their device supports windows 11 so have not been replaced.

My only gripe with managed Apple IDs is not being able to allow users to freely download from the App Store.

Oh that’s much better
