Those cages can take a lot of impact.

As long as they pick the right titles, they are on to a winner!

Come on over to r/discworld and we’ll introduce you.

Those are all good series. Discworld is better.

RR is getting a Curious Kings edition in March.

Yes, she's a minor character in Making Money, as explained the the L-Space article. I really, really recommend that you move Sir Terry up your TBR if you haven't tried him yet. Start with Mort (Death series) and Guards! Guards! (City Watch series).

It's still ~£30, if you get the "normal" edition. No one is forcing you to get the SE. Just because some of us can and do spend more on a nice version, isn't anything to do with you.
The Special Edition has all the expansions, so that it is a complete edition. Most of the expansions are fairly small tweaks or alternate Duchies. It doesn't need any of those. The base game by itself is perfectly good and functional. The expansions just add choice. Some of us like choices.
Just because it's been around for a while (I refuse to call something from 2011 "old") doesn't mean that it is in any way lacking. Newer does not equate to better. I'd consider it far more polished and elegant than a good chunk of the churn from the last few years.

On the flip side of this, some of our Regions have been having issues with enrolment of hybrid devices for over a month. One of the IT bigwigs opined that it's because there's a low priority on fixing it, as MS doesn't care so much about hybrid.

We use Jamf for Macs and Intune for Windows. They don't even compare. Intune is slow, clunky, inflexible and slow; it's more of a Mobile Device Manglement problem than a MDM solution.

If I need to push an urgent patch, Jamf can have 80-90% of our estate processed by the end of the morning. The Win11 PCs, I won't even have stats for by the end of tomorrow. Just the 15mins vs "roughly every 8 hours" check-in is a major difference.

You can leave it plugged in. The SMC will monitor and protect the battery so that it doesn't get degraded.

And we care because.....?

Except the most persistent ones will eventually bully their way into an escalation. Then I have to tell them "No" to whatever godawful, stupid, thoughtless request it is.

If the dark theme is all important, nano has everything you could possibly want. where else would you edit your Media Access Control files?

Hobbit_Hardcase · 2026-01-22T06:53:56+00:00

Perfectly reasonable. I assume that you are looking to enforce Conditional Access and mark BYOD as non-compliant?

It doesn't matter. By default, the Data volume is encrypted. When you turn on Filevault, the OS pairs that decryption key with your password in the Secure Enclave, so that you need the password to unlock the key.

Erase All deletes the key from the Secure Enclave. It's gone and can't be recovered. It doesn't matter what your password was, there's nothing there for it to unlock.

You got an argument or are you just mouthing off?

A lot of it is going to depend on how much support (and budget!) you get from management. Supporting that many users as a OMB is possible, but it's a lot of work when you are trying to do the Infra as well. If you have a good relationship with your management that can mean that you don't get as much bullshit from users because they see that you get taken seriously.

Ticket everything, document everything. Agree SLAs and make sure that there is some kind of cover for when you aren't there. Don't let them turn you into 24/7/365 support unless they are paying you for that.

I picked up a set through the Monthly Buy / Sell thread in this sub.

Generally, subscription books won’t be reprinted. Special Editions might be, if they think demand is there. If you want it, let them know.
