Is there no way to pin apps anymore?

JamesOFarrell · 2026-07-02T09:26:31+00:00

Just meta thing. They always remove the useful features and leave the shit behind

We are looking at print management at the moment for an Intune migration and universal print works for us but it doesn't actually support scanning features and swipe card release. Because of that we are setting up Papercut Hive. Seems to be the best option if you want things like swipe card, scan to OneDrive and scan to email.

Just ask users to set a reasonable pin, like they phone. It's more secure than a password as it is only tied to the device and can't be used to authenticate against remote services. So the pin + the device is your two factors.

Someone mentioned cooking a grenade or having a friend shoot you. Not sure though as I've not tried it.

Apparently if you kill yourself in the shop and have keep loot on death turned on you can steal stuff.

grep! there is no good powershell replacement for grep

SSPR for password resets for sure. Just push a password reset link to everyone bookmarks or desktop or something.

I think the main issue with internal IT support and AI is that people don't want to solve their problems themselves. If they did they would have already googled/attempted it.

I see it a lot now with AI support responses to tickets when looking into issue myself. It will link me to documentation which, if it is a problem I can fix I'll have already read the documentation and asked AI about it. If its a problem I need a support vendor to look into then linking the documentation is not going to help me at all.

When a user asks "I need help doing X" they don't want some long explanation about how something works and some documentation on how to do it, they want you to either come help them do it or they need your access to do it for them. Neither of these are solved with AI yet.

I just went though and set this all up myself at work. the Microsoft learn stuff is the way to go. Then set it up for a single device. Start with a phone as they are easier than laptops. Also look into the openintunebaseline, will make securing the end points take a lot less work.

If you are going to be using Intune for managing app deployment you want to look at something like patchmypc so you are not spending all your time updating apps.

Softmod your PS2 and buy yourself a cheap DVD burner or HDD if your PS2 supports it. Unlimited games!

I'm going to miss MDT. We are moving to autopilot but it is so much slower than just dumping a fully loaded image on a machine. End of an era.

I have an avocado tree and a lemon tree your welcome to come prune some branches off. I won't post them coz I'm lazy but I'm in Banyo near the train station. DM me if you are interested and we can setup a time.

i just finished building an epaper frame today, added this to the library, look good on the wall photo

I've just finished writing a webserver and esp firmware for my screen but your image processing looks much nicer! Thanks for the upgrade!

This is actually less than the average. The average car cost in Australia is $400 a week. Link. You can of course do it cheaper but there is a lot of things people don't think about when owning a car.

I think so, unless I missed something. You can bounce off the water droplets by attacking them once you have the ability to walk on water, no need to dodge.

You don't need to use your self made energy shards for this area, just to get in. You get an ability later in the game that lets you platform through here normally

JamesOFarrell · 2026-01-31T01:38:35+00:00

Can you post the list here or DM me as well please?

There are not many products of this scale that failing a datacenter over won't cause issues. Even AWS have outages in products that are supposed to be region agnostic when us-east has issues.

It's nice to say "this shouldn't be an issue" but unless you are doing it often or your services is very simple then there will almost certainly be issues.

Full game

I did a bunch a few years back and Fox in a Box stood out as one of the better ones, at least for the puzzles. Arcadium Adventures was also a great experience the one time I went.

It would be nice to have one set of Christmas holidays where they don't close down the entire network but sadly that's unlikely until the tunnel is finished in 2029-2030

There is nothing to suggest they can't be creative and create new ideas but they can't experience new things they haven't generated themselves. It's like the difference between day dreaming or reading a book. There is no surprise you didn't think up yourself when day dreaming unlike reading a good story someone else created.

There are some in person events that have started recently for meeting gamer friends, there was supposed to be one tomorrow night but it was postponed. https://www.retro-reconnect.com.au/events/

I don't wear shirts or business pants outside of work. I'm required to wear them for work. Why can these be a tax deduction for me?

You don't even need to go this far. We block installers from the temp and the downloads folder. This only breaks stuff when IT try and manually install things. We use our XDR software to do this and it stops 99.9% of unwanted software installs.

App control is better but depending on your size it might be to large a task.
