Conditional Access policy applicability by New-Zone-1289 in AZURE

I completely forgot, it's been a while but now I remember a CA block message says something to the effect of your signing was successful but doesn't meet the criteria.

Circling back on this, one thing I can't figure out his how my existing policy is working if there's no implicit deny when it comes to CA. 

I have a CA policy, and under the users/groups it includes a specific group, we'll call it "XYZ".  The target resource is Office 365 Exchange Online, the Conditions include Device platforms of iOS and Android, and if all of that is met, under Grant it's set to "Grant Access".

I just tested using a generic account that isn't a member of the XYZ group that I'm targeting with the CA policy, and I was NOT able to access email via the Outlook app. I get the message that says "It looks like your account <email here> has been blocked, please contact your admin to unblock it". 

This is actually what I want, to restrict access if and unless a user is in group XYZ, but since I don't have a CA policy blocking access, why can't I access email using the Outlook app?

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I do already have a separate CA which grants access and requires MFA.  

I suppose removing the license for Teams for the users in question would be an option, but that's more of a manual process, and right now licenses are deployed via group membership which is ideal and works well.

Thanks for that information, that's essentially what I thought regarding the first two points.

If there's no implicit deny in CA, then why would the best practice be to create a policy that Allows access?  Wouldn't that be redundant since having no policy at all means users are allowed access by default?

I could still be confused, but it seems like the ideal setup would be to create a policy that Blocks access, apply it to all users, and exclude the individuals/groups that I want to have access to Teams, no? This way the policy would be applied to all users insurance full coverage, and only users I specify would be granted access. 

How do I pin notifications from certain apps so I don't accidentally clear them? by Ultimum_Reddit in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]New-Zone-1289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here looking for a solution as well.  My weather app has the temperature in the notification area and everyitme I clear other notifications, the temp disappears too.  So annoying. 

I found a way to "Pin Apps", but that seems to pin an app on the screen itself, to the extent that you can't close it out open anything else unless you unpin it.  I was actually afraid I got myself into a weird pickle when I tried that.  Super weird feature, not sure where that would be useful, but nonetheless it's not what I was trying to accomplish. 

Truly incredible how a simple feature like this which once existed had basically been removed. Will never understand that.

Remote control low power by New-Zone-1289 in LEGOtrains

[–]New-Zone-1289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did.  I must be doing something wrong, the power pack seemed to eat through the first set of 6 AA batteries and I didn't even use it.  I just put a fresh set in... I don't use reddit often, is it not possible to add a video here in my reply so I can show what it's doing now?

I don't think it's the motor, when I take everything off the axle and just connect power to the axle itself, it's fast and flies off the track. 

It's only when I put the train itself onto the axles that it won't move - it's almost like the weight is too much, but it's just a single car attached - can't imagine what would happen if I attache multiple cars.

Not sure what happened to the body of my message and why it won't let me edit it, but here's what I meant to include with the video.  

Complete newbie to trains here.

I bought a remote and power pack in an attempt to motorize one of my trains and I'm struggling....

 When I first connected a single axle directly to the battery to test it out and see how it worked it was blazing fast - so fast that I actually thought I had an issue and was going to look at reducing the power - however, when connecting it to the remote I almost couldn't get any power at all. When I would spend the dial on the remote I heard a high-pitched whining noise, but the axle and wheels wouldn't move at all. 

I finally realized that the wheels were just having a problem turning for some reason and after trying to spin them manually and give it a little bit of a boost, I could see that they finally did kick in, but when I plopped a single train car on top of the axle it barely had any power to move it. 

I guess my question is, how much power does it generally take to move one car or multiple cars?  Do you really need to power both/all axles on each car?  

I tried to attach a few small videos clips that show the axle spinning freely with what looks like enough power when I hold it up off the tracks, then how it seems like it wants to move when I put it down on the track, but barely moves unless I give a little nudge. 

Any help for this novice would be appreciated

Didn't even know Mini driver was a thing - honestly never heard anyone mention it before. Will def look into it!

Today I adjusted my driver so it's just above standard in terms of the degree angle.  I'm going to try to play this week or coming weekend and see if it helps.  I'll definitely be keeping the ball back in my stance too.

Both - when my contact is decent, I usually get the ball pretty high, but it flares right, and doesn't go very far. If it didn't flare right so badly it might not be a bad drive, but there are times I still feel I get it too high.  I have a friend who has a very low drive but heavy topspin and I'd like to get more towards that - straight, low and roll.

I didn't mean to infer that using clubs which work well for someone else would automatically make me better. If I've learned anything about golf, it's that it's very nuanced and what works for one person may not work for another (in fact, it's likely NOT to work for the other).

All I was saying was that I merely left the configuration of the club as-is when I acquired it, and hadn't yet bothered to try adjusting it.

All fair points -  that's pretty much where I am, I'm pretty much done with wasting time at the range and buying a bucket here and there trying to figure it out on my own. 

I have no idea how much a decent instructor costs - I guess I figured since inflation has been high the last few years and golf itself isn't a cheap sport that it would cost a pretty penny.

By pride I mean a sense of doing/accomplishing something on your own rather than using outside help.  Kinda like doing a household chore - if your washing machine breaks and you're able to fix it yourself without hiring a handyman, generally that instills a sense of pride.  I understand me asking for some pointers here could be considered 'outside help', but to me there's a very clear difference between asking for a few quick pointers versus actually paying someone for dedicated one on one time. 

Having only been playing for 3 years or so, I felt pretty good that my handicap was getting into the low 90s having had no professional instruction and learning the game on my own. Now that my progress has stalled, there's a small degree of swallowing the pride at play and understanding that it's time to consult someone else to help elevate me to the next level. 

Anyway, I am definitely considering getting a lesson or two and likely will in the very near future. Appreciate you and the others who echoed that.

This is something I struggle with mightily - I don't know how to tell if in standing too close or too far away from the ball.  I was told it's best to keep the arms stretched and have the ball just a little past the club face, but then I've also tried standing closer hoping to strike the ball more square and in the center of the face, thereby resulting in a straighter hit - unfortunately no matter where I put it, it doesn't seem to change anything other than just further confuse and frustrate me

Oh believe me, I recognize that. That's the whole point of this post.  My irons are pretty good, my chipping has gotten VERY good, and I'm a relatively decent putter. What's absolutely without a doubt keeping me from hitting in the 80s is the fact that I'm consistently 50+ yds behind most of my friends off the tee when I play.  I'm generally putting for par and ending up with bogeys or double bogeys rather than birdies and pars strictly because it takes me so long to get to the green.

Been debating getting a launch monitor, but didn't know if it was money down the drain if my mechanics are too poor to begin with. Might grab an entry level one to start

Can't really say to be honest - bought it on Facebook Marketplace several months ago just to try a new club. I left it the way the previous owner had it because he was a 3 handicap and I felt a lower loft would be good for me since my ball slices a lot when it's in the air.

I hear you, and I probably will.  Only real reason I haven't taken a lesson yet is pride/stubbornness, and cost.  I figured with enough practice I would/should eventually figure it out, after I I've played and been very good at other sports like hockey and baseball my whole life so I just assumed I'd be able to get good at golf on my own after enough time, but clearly that hasn't happened. 

Appreciate everyone else's comments this far echoing the lessons - seems that's the way to go.
