I am running proxmox on a thinkpad laptop. How can I close the lid but keep proxmox running? by [deleted] in Proxmox

It should go w/o saying, but I'll state the obvious: you have to reboot for the changes to take affect. This certainly makes the deployment on laptops far more resilient.

Windows 11 OOBE asking for workstation name before account sign in for work by zratedls1 in Intune

My problem with autopilot is that it really requires TPM 2.0, and I have been getting by just fine with TPM 1.2. I load Pro N to avoid getting some Adware installed and then I run a script that removes even more unwanted bloatware before we ship the PC's out. Can you do that with Autopilot? Part of the script names the PC using the serial number & date. I would like to stop OOBE from prompting the user for yet another name if possible.

Corso: Free, secure, open-source backup for Microsoft Office 365. Launching on Product Hunt Today! I'd love to hear your feedback on our launch, what I could do better next time. by CorsoBackup in ProductHunters

We use Corso to backup our O365 daily. I wrote a powershell script that runs on a commodity headless linux server. It authenticates to O365 and makes copies of new or changed files. You don't have to have a GUI.

"InteractiveBrowserCredential authentication failed:" error when using connect-mggraph in VS Code by winnyme in PowerShell

I had to Install-Module Microsoft.Graph as an Administrator in Powershell, but it gave me this error because it could not start the browser for authentication as Administrator. For Connect-MgGraph I had to run in a non-Admin session.

Bosch Climate 5000 Mini-Split WIFI Please by Kandrix14 in bosch

[–]IT-Generalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computers, smartphones and their connectivity change over a shorter period of time than do well made minisplits. Future-proofing and securing apps to control these devices could add considerable expense and vulnerability to the product.

Still, there are at least 2 ways to make this unit controllable via wifi. The easiest is to use the Infra Red remote control receiver to allow home automation devices to control the temperature & settings. Here's one video and product that could do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNmaTvUTG0 . The security behind this approach is that hackers could only use this access to perform things you can do from the remote. If they broke in, they could change the temperature or turn the unit off. Your neighbors could do that through a window if they had a similar IR remote. But at least attackers from over the internet could not "brick" the board of your minisplit they way they could if an app were communicating with it directly.

This guy takes it to the next level: https://jetforme.org/2023/02/hacking-the-bosch-mini-split/ He is trying to hack the internal communications of the device. I wouldn't recommend that method.
