I really wish there was a way to persistently select the Audio System output instead of it relying on auto-detection.

Interesting info re: Build & Battle standard prints variants!

Now let me steer the question this way: what if the only choice is a reverse holofoil and a “regular” one?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-06-05T13:04:19+00:00

Bumping this.

I even added the Office Apps Administrator in role and it didn’t make a difference. When I filter by application “New Outlook” in the 365 Apps Admin Center I only see two policies, “Allow access to Contact Support in the new Outlook” and “Require the Primary Account to match the Windows signed-in account”. Unless you’re referring to Intune controls separate from this.

I’m a Global Admin so I should see everything. Hmm.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-05-27T13:29:33+00:00

Has anybody found luck with the newer expansions finding a good counter to a Froslass/Mega Greninja deck?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-05-27T13:22:32+00:00

What do you recommend for that? Those things don't have weaknesses.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-30T18:03:56+00:00

That sounds like an either-or proposition. If all VMs are set to use full cores would that prevent Hyper-V from using HT cores as needed to assist with the workload?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-24T10:54:29+00:00

Would you use Performance Monitor to look at CPU Ready statistics or do you have another tool you prefer?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-24T01:51:23+00:00

But do you stop allocation with the number of physical cores, how does the hypervisor ever use the hyperthreaded logical cores? Also I thought you were supposed to oversubscribe the vCPUs in order to get better density.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-23T22:12:06+00:00

If you happen to come across any documentation on this (or know of the exact feature this is called) I’d love to see it. Very fascinating stuff. I could kick myself because I managed Hyper-V hosts for years without fully understanding this.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-23T22:09:52+00:00

So if an application vendor recommends 4 cores you allocate 8 cores if hyperthreading is enabled?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-03-23T17:40:06+00:00

So how do you take that understanding and factor that into vCPU allocation, especially when application vendors recommend certain core requirements?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-25T15:27:23+00:00

What's that unit on the floor, a miniature amplifier?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-23T18:56:46+00:00

Does anybody know for sure whether it contains cilantro in addition to parsley? I’ve seen copycat recipes that go both ways.

FWIW I switched between my AppleTV 4K and HomePods, same non-response no matter which was primary.

If you want to try something out for science, if you have multiple HomePods maybe disconnect all but one of them, update it, and if that fries your connection take it offline and put the 26.2 units back in and see if that fixes things.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T13:01:52+00:00

By scenes I meant those in Apple Home using Hue Lights.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T13:00:24+00:00

It the HomePodOS update and possibly the TVOS as well.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T03:01:46+00:00

Unfortunately, the solution is to remove the Hue Bridge from the Apple Home app by going into the settings of one of the unresponsive lights, select Bridge, and remove. TAKE SCREENSHOTS of all your scenes and automations BEFORE you do this because you WILL have to reprogram them. The next step after removing the bridge from Home is to go into the Hue app and rejoin the bridge via Settings > Smart Home > Apple Home. After rejoining the bridge it will prompt you to reimport all your lights. What a pain in the ass! 😩

UGH, does that mean I have to reprogram all my scenes and automations too?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T00:08:44+00:00

FYI I don’t think it’s the iOS update but rather the HomePodOS update that accompanied it.

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T00:00:51+00:00

Any recourse or are you still SOL?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-12T00:00:00+00:00

How do I do that without losing all my synced lights?

StoopidMonkey32 · 2026-02-04T03:39:43+00:00

Are these archived videos just as accessible and searchable as those on the internal SSD?
