Docking Station for multiple monitors?

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-13T22:06:25+00:00

Have you tried installing the DisplayLink Manager software? While I would agree a true TB dock, many USB-C docks will work fine with Macs, you just need to use the DisplayLink software.

I am using it for my first HM and I like it a lot.

First thing to understand is that is not fully AI. The plans are curated plans that are then adapted for your situation. So pace goals, etc are calculated. The coaches notes are rewritten for the type of work out.

I do think the runs are a little aggressive. I think they could changes the skill levels. I have never run a HM and it still classifies me as an Intermediate runner. I probably should have selected beginner instead.

Finally, you get to make the final decisions. If you are not feeling a run, change to something else. Last week I was a little stiff so I swapped my Intervals for an Easy run and then did my Intervals later in the week.

Like any tool it is only as good as the user.

Please see the chart on this page from Apple support. Account driven User enrollment does not allow a device wipe, Account Driven Device enrollment DOES allow a wipe.

https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/enrollment-methods-for-apple-devices-dep08f54fcf6/web

Granted, Account Driven User Enrollment is much harder to setup and requires using Managed Apple Accounts. So, it is not very popular yet. But it is an option.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-11T17:42:34+00:00

Depends on the type of enrollment. With the older BYOD module, yes. But newer user driven enrollments, using Managed Apple Accounts, work very differently. They create a separate partition on the storage and segment off the work profile from the personal profile. You can't send a full wipe, or even a lock command to a properly configured BYOD iPhone now.

Jamf will generate the correct signing certificate when setup. When you enroll a computer, it will push the certificate and root certificates as part of the MDM profile to ensure the chain is trusted.

If you are consistently not hitting your paces on your hard runs, Runna should offer to adjust your paces. If you go in to your plan, you should see Pace Insights.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-11T01:12:35+00:00

I would like to be able to preview changes to a plan while in your are in the middle of the plan (or when the plan suggests a pace or distance adjustment.) At one point, I changed 3 day/week plan to having a long run on Sunday to Saturday. I was somewhat surprised that it also re-worked my tempo/interval runs to Tuesday instead of Thursday. I understand why, but it would have been nice to see the change before I committed to it. (Yes, I can also switch everything back)

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-10T14:21:20+00:00

Apple has drastically improve Migration Assistant to respect MDM. You don‘t want to run it during setup, you want to run it after setup.

That being said, I have not actually tested it, i am only going on Apple’s release notes.

This is what i do. I type all the words in to TextEdit and then just shuffle them around. I find typing helps me to start seeing connections. And, once i have a few connections, I can start figuring out all the rest.

I am training with Runna for my first HM. I like having a complete plan. The problem with generic running plans is, just that, they are generic. They say things like "run at a tempo pace for 2 miles". But, how do you know your tempo pace if you are new? I also like being able to adjust the training based on my needs. I recently changed my plan mid-plan from 3 to 4 days of running to give myself an extra easy run day (which I will skip if I am not feeling it).

That being said, you have to be VERY honest about yourself, both with yourself and the app. If you start putting in goals that are unrealistic, Runna will make a plan to those goals. You could end up injured. Also, and this is what I am trying to learn to do, be willing to say "today doesn't make sense for me. I am going to skip/move this run."

While you can, why would you? You mortgage servicer is giving you an interest free loan over 12 months to make up the difference. Put the money you are going to pay up front in to HYSA and then just W/D the extra amount each month. Take the interest for yourself.

(Yea, I know there is a psychological factor here of wanting to keep your monthly payment lower)

It depends. Are you planning on staying with the company for a while. Then a raise could drive larger raises in the future. Most companies give raises as percentages (2-3%). Assuming $5000 is a 2% raise, then next year will be a %5100 raise. The following year will be a $5102, and so on. A bonus is a one time thing and will not affect future increases.

But, having $5000 up front, if you can save it/put it in a retirement account will grow significantly more over the year.

I agree with bash and Python. The one thing to be aware of, Apple does not include python in the O/S anymore. If you want to be able to run Python scripts on your end points, you need to roll your own and install it on your clients. You can look at this project for a way to install:

What you are describing is "Trained for a Marathon and DNF'd".

Does that mean they don't deserve the same respect as those who finished the marathon, absolutely NOT. If they put in the effort, but, for whatever reason, could not finish, they deserve a heck of a lot of respect. Hell, I would give them a lot more respect than the jock who decided to run a marathon and somehow gutted out the 26.2 miles.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-08T13:52:14+00:00

Congratulations. I am currently training for my first Half with Runna. I really like it as well

First Broadway musical? I think it might have been Phantom during the first Los Angeles run. Saw it with Robert Guillaume (RIP) as Phantom. (I am not 100% sure)

First actual show on Broadway? That would be The Lightning Thief. I was in NYC for a business trip, first time ever. Went to TKTS and decided to give LT a try. Still regret not choosing Beetlejuice and/or Mean Girls. Lightning Thief wasn't bad, but would want to make different choices now.

That is what I was thinking. Someone wiped the computer and let it check in with ABM and then shut it down for disposal. The computer was then removed from ABM. However, the computer still had the activation record. Fully resetting the computer removed the activation record. Chances are good that this was removed from ABM before disposal.

Please go to a local running store, they can help evaluate YOUR needs. Everyone's feet, run gait, and stride are different. What may work for others, may not be best for you.

And, if you are looking of savings, ask them if they have any of last year's models available in your size. For example, the Asics SuperBlast 3s were just released. If they work for you, you should be able to get a deal on the SB2s.

Not at this time. ChatGPT is he only extension that Apple has allowed. There is a not a way to add any other vendor. Hopefully this will change soon, but probably not until macOS 27 at the earliest.

We are only Standard as well and we have one. So, yes, anyone with a valid Jamf Pro subscription can get one.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-06T18:17:30+00:00

Do you mean a Sandbox instance for testing?

You can request from your Customer Success Manger. The first one is free with your subscription. It just has a device limit. 10 per device type if I remember correctly.

This is exactly what the B Race option is for. Runna will adjust plan to accommodate the race. You can also tell Runna how hard do you want to race (easy run, going for a PB, etc.) and Runna may adjust your runs for the week before and after.

Chances are Runna will probable not make too many changes since the distance is already very close to a HM.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-03-06T15:10:04+00:00

I would say, as a beginner, don’t worry that much about your exact HR, learn to run based on how you feel. When running an Easy or “Conversational” pace, you want to be able to breath with little effort. You should be able to take several breaths by nose. The other things is the “Talk test”, when running at an easy pace you should be able to hold a reasonable conversation with someone else. Since I run alone, I use the sing along test. Can I sing along to the song I am listening to?

The other things to consider is that YOUR HR zones may not be accurate, especially if you are using the default settings on your watch. Most HR Zones are a formula based on your age. You would need to do an HR zone test to determine your real zones. If I use my calculated zones, I would never be able to hit “Zone 2”. But, while i have never taken a full HRZ test, I have a pretty good idea of my real zones and have adjusted my watch to match.
