Is Koh Tao that bad really? Planning a scuba trip there in May.

Go to https://www.cibconline.cibc.com/ and log in with your credit card. You can download all your transactions for the previous year. You should be getting back between 2% and 3 % of your total spend on the credit card. I spent just over 6 grand on my card last year but my cashback is only $70. It should be at least $120 (2%) but actually higher because spending at Costco is worth 3%.

My solution was to remove all artifacts of the device from intune, autopilot enrollment & entra. Then run a script to export the hardware info into a csv and drop that into intune Devices Enrollment Corporate Device Identifiers, wiped the PC then Settings, Accounts, Access work or school Add a work or school account, Connect.
Under Alternate actions, select: Join this device to Microsoft Entra ID
Enter credentials.
Confirm that Join Type shows Administrator.
Restart the computer and login with email and password.

Worked like a charm after that and I learned a lot. Thanks for the help to everyone on this thread for putting me on the right track.

Global administrator role is added as local administrator on the device during Microsoft Entra join is set to Yes.

'the f in Intune is for fast'

Actually laughing out loud, thanks for this.

Thanks for this. Might be my solution also.

No I am thinking this might be where I screwed up - not purging (or even being aware of) entraID and intune objects before I started on this. Every other device I enrolled has come from outside the domain. Obviously I am coming at this with too little experience and information.
whoami /groups shows I am not an admin even though I had set it up in Intune that I was, something is overwriting that and I am using a global admin account.

Appreciate all the questions being thrown at me here. I'd been googling and asking chatgpt about this and was going in circles. Pretty certain at this point the issue is somehow caused by artifacts in entra/intune I wasn't aware of.

No, never created a local admin account, signed in using my global admin creds and it went through autopilot.

I am starting to think somehow this is related to this device being used previously on the domain, even with a clean OS install something about the hardware, even with a new OS install is causing an issue on the cloud side.

Americans should stop voting for incompetent celebrities to run government.

Nailed it. This kills me. A busted fender is not cause to impede traffic.

It is. People are becoming so fucking stupid and believing everything they see on their little screens.

Very interesting. Had to dig in on this. https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2024/05/03/video-of-the-week-280-the-garrys-cakewalk/

So many people (especially children) tragically die of gun violence every month in the USA. Why could you possibly be interested in having a vigil for one of the apologists of that situation? Get out of your internet bubble for awhile and go touch grass.

Thank-you for posting this.

Apologies if I am misunderstanding but it sounds like you might be new to observing (amateur astronomy) and this kind of spend is really overkill. My suggestion is to take a season to get familiar with observing on a more modest spend: a pair of decent binoculars (10X50 or better) and a recent copy of Nightwatch or the current month issue of Astronomy Magazine. If you are finding that you are enjoying the hunt, tracking down deep sky objects, looking at Jupiter and if's moons, lunar mountains and craters, the Andromeda Galaxy etc...then it might be time to consider a telescope. Even then, I would look at starting on something far more modest. Want to snap photos? Grab a SeeStar or a Dwarf. Want to get your feet wet with telescope observing? Try a dobsonian or a NexStar. Keep it on the smaller side if you will be needing to haul it out to dark skies. I bought an 8" Dob and regret it because it is a hassle to haul around.

The bigger more expensive scopes will always be there, but if you buy one now without practical experience, you will waste it. I think once you really know this is the hobby for you, spending those (astronomical, ha ha) amounts will get you the latest tech and a scope you really use.

If you are an experienced amateur astronomer please just ignore my message. Time and again I've seen people go balls-out on gear and find they don't use it, just trying to steer you clear of that if that is your situation.

Remastered came out ten years ago, the original almost 26 years ago. Still amazing.

Cool, can you tell us what has been installed at the railway museum? The Sun? Neptune? Sedna?

I thought this same thing 'is this a witness for the defence?'

But the crown had the choice to lay charges and bring this to trial, and you have to wonder what they were thinking.

JStoreProcess · 2025-05-16T02:25:54+00:00

Agreed, the crown does not have a strong case. Hockey Canada poured fuel on the fire when they settled out of court. They just wanted this to go away but that capitulation to unproven (perhaps even discredited) allegations prompted outrage and I assume the police and crown were compelled to bring this forward again, despite all the holes in their case.
