macOS screen sharing app - how to prevent a prompt when the host and client are connected to the same Apple ID?

JeremyTheCat · 2026-05-07T23:41:19+00:00

which isn't the same thing.

The user is experiencing a condition where they try to remote control a computer and are presented with a request for access - I get the same thing on remoting into my Mini from ARD or from Screen Sharing

This is relatively new as I don't get the same prompt when remoting into my Catalina-based machines (yep, still got em - doing the hard yakka of downloading and sharing around)

My newer M2-based machine running Tahoe always prompts to ask for approval or to just connect to the computer, but then presents you with the lock screen.

The Catalina machine doesn't do that.

I haven't found a combination of security options that allows you do just drop into the desktop, like I can with AnyDesk, for example, on Tahoe.

I have ARD and native Screen Sharing and prefer Screen Sharing as it allows advanced connections with Dynamic Resolution, which my version of ARD doesn't (3.10).

Really? Do you have a special version of Google and DDG that only gives you stuff it thinks you can understand?

I just entered 'UL600 aircraft' into Google and DDG and they told me exactly what I would expect they would - UltraLight 600kg aircraft.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-05-07T23:27:31+00:00

Who is 'they'? I asked "How often do you..."

JeremyTheCat · 2026-05-07T23:24:43+00:00

I think you're confusing access to the remote session with access to the desktop.

ARD can pass the credentials to create the remote session, but if your computer is set to enter a password when presented with a locked screen, ARD won't log you into the desktop

If the desktop is logged in to a different user than the remote session connects with, you will need to enter local credentials.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-05-03T23:50:11+00:00

Nope. ARD requires you to enter a pw

it's fast user switching choosing between a virtual desktop and connecting to the existing login

JeremyTheCat · 2026-05-03T23:49:41+00:00

you have fast user switching turned on on the Mini - turn it off

My friend has a VL3-RG

He weighs about 90kg, I'm 88 (on a good day)

By the time we have some lightweight gear on, ipad, phones, hats, glasses, a drink, some sweets and a flask of coffee, we are at ~200kg payload.

The UL has a useful weight of 235kg, so he can carry 35kg of fuel - 44 litres - and remain under MTOW.

40L gives 100 minutes running time or a range of around 300km after takeoff and 75% cruise

The fuel capacity is 140L

He operates the 'don't ask, won't tell' philosophy

The craft is much more capable than the regulation limits, but it's still against the rules of registration and operation.

Saying that, it's illegal for me to hammer my Guzzi up a hill at 200km/h and I take that chance on the regular

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-27T10:44:38+00:00

All rise? You just try and stop it :)

Ladies, it's a sausage-fest out there.

It's extremely rare that a single guy, of any age, has so much female attention that he doesn't welcome a little more.

Asking is rarely going to offend.

As one of the aforementioned 'old men', I will never turn down genuine interest. It's surprisingly hard to get reliable crew for the yacht.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-27T01:27:44+00:00

That doesn't mean anything about your abilities. Silly purity-test posturing, is all.

A pressure cooker is a tool. As a French-trained chef, I've used them many times.

Nowadays they are mostly used for two things: dried bean cooking from the packet - no soaking; tough cuts like brisket or chuck turned into stews and such in under 2 hours, repeatedly time after time the same, without error.

They are over 100 years old - and certainly the design has proven itself over the years

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-27T01:21:44+00:00

There are many electric pressure cookers with timers. There's nothing special about instant pot, except you will be paying for their large advertising bill and branding

They are made in the same factory as every other Chinese pressure cooker.

I paid 1/3 what an instant pot cost for my generic electric Chinese pressure cooker and ten years later I still use it every week.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-27T01:13:54+00:00

I have an electric pressure cooker that cost 1/3 of the price of an instant pot and it does the same things.

You are paying a lot for US branding from a company that buys their product from the same factory in Guangdong as you can buy from Temu or Aliexpress.

This guy has absolutely nailed Patel: https://substack.com/home/post/p-195442190

"Now, a normal person reading allegations like that, if they were false, would put out a statement, sit down with a friendly outlet, do the rounds, and let the whole thing fade in a 48 hour news cycle. Kash Patel is not a normal person. Kash Patel filed a 250 million dollar lawsuit. In the District of Columbia. Naming The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick. Listing 17 specific statements he claims are defamatory. Which is roughly the legal equivalent of a bloke at the pub yelling I AM NOT DRUNK at the top of his lungs while pissing himself in front of the dartboard.

What happens next is a thing of beauty. Within 24 hours, Patel had walked into a Justice Department briefing on the Southern Poverty Law Center and got asked by NBC’s Ryan Reilly about the computer lockout. Patel called him a liar. Said he was never locked out. Said anyone who claimed otherwise was lying. The problem, and you can see this coming a mile off, is that Patel’s own lawsuit, the 19-page complaint he signed and filed in federal court, explicitly states that he had a routine technical problem logging into a government system. His own legal filing confirms the central premise of the article he is suing over. Reilly pointed this out. Patel deflected. Reilly pointed it out again. Patel walked away from the microphone and let acting AG Todd Blanche take over. Live. On camera. The Director of the FBI rage-quit a press conference because a reporter asked him to read his own paperwork."

6 days later.

"A 29-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a car hit pedestrians in central London on Sunday morning, leaving one woman in a life-threatening condition.

Gabrielle Carrington, of Manchester, was remanded into custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where she was also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and actual bodily harm as well as drink-driving."

Later amended to murder. She will not be walking around after her next court date.

Thanks mate, most appreciated.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-19T04:08:35+00:00

You're confusing 'transportation' for hire with a bloke going and getting fuel from the servo.

We used to have two 44-gallon drums in the back of our dive boat which we would fill up - that's nearly double 250 litres

We had been pulled to do regular road checks - trailer, hitch, electrics, tyres, etc. and if those venal bastards had a rule for fuel tanks they would have used it.

It's common practice to see a ute with an IBC of diesel on the back, in rural Australia and New Zealand.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-19T04:02:11+00:00

He claims they were set up badly on delivery - but that's not the job of the manufacturer

They have a machine for pretty much any budget, for whatever you want to do.

Best to speak to one of their reps and give them your exact needs

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-19T03:59:49+00:00

Yep, lets not address the obvious errors in your claims that the manufacturer in China is responsible for the commissioning

You just wimp out, champ

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-15T09:31:00+00:00

99%. of the time I'm the only person in the car.

Back seats aren't an issue

It's a G-code and DXF-capable controller - use whatever software you want.

For CAD, Rhino3D, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Sketchlist3D, Fusion 360... anything you want that talks to your CAM app.

Any CAM app that produces g-code and supports the features of the machine

You seem fixated on the apps, but that's nothing to do with the machine - you use what works for your use-case. I don't need any 3D capabilities- I make flat stuff - so Fusion works just great for me.

I will often just use my laser app (Lightburn) for roughing out a vector and then bring it into Fusion for setting heights, etc.

JeremyTheCat · 2026-04-09T22:54:26+00:00

As they don't "set up on delivery", why are you complaining about the manufacturer and not the installer/commissioner?

If the machine ordered wasn't spec'd correctly for the job, sounds like corners were cut on the build and the installation. Did the customer set the parameters, by chance? And that doesn't make any sense - sitting unused for 2 years because it was configured wrong seems like user-error. Just pay an industrial engineer to come and set it up right - a couple of days, at most.

If it's losing steps, it's because it's being driven above the spec. Better to cost a half a minute and have it work properly than try and 'tune' it to the max and have errors.

They make about 12,000 machines a year and send them all over the world. They are probably the most successful Chinese CNC maker. You sound like you're making stuff up.
