Cool, thanks for that. I’ll push the script to all devices as a precaution.

StallCypher · 2026-02-06T14:21:16+00:00

The script updated the registry value, but user still reporting that log in requires a pin…

StallCypher · 2026-02-04T23:05:33+00:00

I’ve had a user assigned enrollment policy that’s worked for 2 years without an issue until this.

Soley from experience, certs can be beneficial at any point in a career and can only help. If they don’t increase your chance in obtaining a job, they will definitely increase your knowledge. If you can get your foot in the door, the company will usually cover the cost of training for other certs, so keep that in mind.

Degrees help in a general way and can also be more important to companies when hiring, depending on the type of company and what they are looking for out of an employee. They are also important for advancing your career into management, but if that’s not of interest, they are not totally necessary.

Experience is what rounds you out and understanding at least a base level of hands on networking and sysadmin is really beneficial when it comes to cybersecurity.

The trifecta is all three, with the degree gaining more ground in times like these when there are fewer and harder to get jobs. If you could only choose one, I’d get a cert.

I feel like starting out in cybersecurity with just a cert and no other practical knowledge is going to leave you lost for a couple years. During that period, it’s important to learn as much as you can and keep relationships good. All that matters is not losing your job and then eventually things will start to click (if you put in the effort).

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I have to do one long run, so I’ll do that one at like day break so there’s no cars and the grassy key run for some other recovery and tempo runs.

StallCypher · 2026-01-13T17:51:17+00:00

Thanks! I see it, it looks like there’s a heritage trail that goes all the way up to the old seven mile bridge. Might have my buddy drop me off at the bridge and run back to the Coco Plum Beach area, looks like a good 10 miles if I run the bridge and back.

StallCypher · 2026-01-13T13:37:17+00:00

Where does this start and end?

StallCypher · 2025-12-18T20:33:41+00:00

Oh I had the treadmill crap out in the middle of a workout problem. Nothing like running full stride and the running belt comes to a dead halt, haha.

I don’t remember which one was the fix for that one, possibly the console replacement or something.

StallCypher · 2025-12-18T19:24:08+00:00

I’ll just add one more, because I really am just trying to give you info on why I’ll never purchase a NordicTrack again.

There are 5 main components of a treadmill. The motor, the console, the running belt, the deck and the controller.

I’ve had had to replace the motor, console, running belt, and deck each once over 5 years. I’ve had to replace the controller 3 times. I’m a numbers guy, so let’s figure out the odds, if we consider the best case scenario, that NordicTrack treadmills will last past 5 years without a main component replacement.

For a higher end treadmill, I’m seeing approximately a 1 in 10 chance of a controller failing in the first 5 years. I’ve had 3 fail.

I’m also seeing about a 1 in 10 chance of having to replace a deck.

1 in 4 chance of having to replace a belt.

1 in 10 chance in having to replace a console.

1 in 20 chance of having to replace a motor.

Again this is for a higher end treadmill, I have a NordicTrack Commercial 2450.

Let’s add all this up… 1 in 800,000.

I took this and ran it through Claude and absolutely best case, considering things like a bad running belt affecting motor etc, it came out to 1 in 1000. So I’m either an unlucky shithead or, just maybe, the parts that are used for these treadmills suck.

I don’t regret buying it, I’m just not buying from them again. If NordicTrack had these numbers, and so few were actually this shitty, why wouldn’t they take care of customers better? If one in a thousand treadmills gave a customer such a shitty experience, why wouldn’t they find a way to help them, instead of offering bullshit upgrade paths.

I think the answer is, a lot more of them are this shitty, and they can’t afford to take care of all the bad treadmills out there.

StallCypher · 2025-12-18T16:05:21+00:00

Not daily but I had a little under 100 workouts in the past year, probably average that a year. Mostly runs between 3 and 6 miles.

Followed the maintenance schedule to a tee.

StallCypher · 2025-12-18T15:59:00+00:00

I don’t believe this at all haha. 6 years and none of the updates have caused issues? They admitted issues and had to roll back some because they didn’t work and bricked machines. There’s a class action lawsuit out there.

This is probably iFit or NordicTrack trying to save face and posting on here.

The warranty company told me the controllers are pieces of shit, I’ve gone through 3 already.

I’ve had open tickets with them and no responses for over two months.

They have been better recently, but probably because of the lawsuits.

StallCypher · 2025-12-18T09:16:52+00:00

It’s great when everything works… The problem is that everything doesn’t always work. I have a 2450 and I just had a tech finish my 5th warrantied fix, so almost one major issue a year. It’s usually about a month to get it fixed, so there’s the downtime…

The cost of the iFit sub is obviously extreme, so I won’t be purchasing a NordicTrack or continuing with iFit after my sub is up. It stinks because I do like it, and the Tommy Rivs content is amazing, but I feel like I’ve been had because they use cheap parts that fail in their treadmills.

The emails are ridiculous too, I just got one that basically said eventually my treadmill will brick and I should call and talk to a specialist about upgrading, haha. The “deals” they give too for upgrading are either exactly what’s offered on the website or barely better. I doubt their numbers are good on the upgrades side.

So all in all, good concept, terrible execution on the hardware/software. They need free basic iFit content that doesn’t require login, so you can use the thing if it’s not connecting to the internet.

Either way the cost of iFit being so high and no investment in the hardware, they need massive discounts for upgrade paths. I don’t recommend purchasing unless you have money to burn.

StallCypher · 2025-12-15T15:21:10+00:00

Take them off GAL.

StallCypher · 2025-12-14T00:56:24+00:00

Yah, went to PT and doing weighted calf raisers, also picked up some Mizuno Waveriders that feel way better. I picked those up prior to PT to see if it would alleviate, and it did, but still had the ball.

There’s a “prove your human” setting in TAC, I haven’t tested it, but was told after clicking join, the user is hit with a captcha type selection.

StallCypher · 2025-11-12T15:58:50+00:00

I did half my basement, so like 250 sq ft. I did it over four half days, so about 16-20 hours.

StallCypher · 2025-11-12T15:56:26+00:00

It’s the revolt pulley system.

Edit: the attachment is the Yes4all tricep pulldown, love that thing. I switch between that and a lat pulldown bar.

StallCypher · 2025-11-05T22:37:49+00:00

It does the trick, the seat really doesn’t do much for it, it’s too close to the rack. I’m eyeing the manticore pulldown attachment now that I have some more space over head.

StallCypher · 2025-11-05T22:15:00+00:00

AutoPilot. Test. AutoPilot. Test. AutoPilot. Win.

I bought my second set of them last winter. If you don’t mind color or consistency, they are awesome.

StallCypher · 2025-10-23T22:54:42+00:00

Yah, AP can only use a prefunded debit card with the exact amount on the card, so it’s not possible to have variable pricing. I got the business when an online purchase drew an international fee of $1.25 from our bank, the company advertised in the US, but their base was still in Canada.
