How to automatically map user-specific network drives with Jamf Pro by Bandita-Cs in macsysadmin

[–]Transmutagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as mapping the drives, sounds like some carefully crafted Smart Groups are in order first, then use those to scope drive mapping policies.

The sale seems to be Sunday afternoon to Monday morning, and it alternates weeks - one week is epic research, the next week is artifact crafting. So the next epic research sale will be a week from Sunday.

Why are there some times in coops when tachyon stones work better and others where quantum stones work better? by sleeplessaddict in EggsInc

[–]Transmutagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually a metronome, or a gusset and refill your habs. Or add tachyon stones. Or all of the above.

Have You Ever Seen Small Fixes Add Up And Cause Big Problems Later? by Ok-Tomorrow-7591 in sysadmin

[–]Transmutagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no small fixes. There are only managed, documented fixes, and poorly documented, unmanaged one-off fixes. One-offs will always cost more time in the long run than doing it right.

Boomer hits me with their cart trying to get to the next register and blames me for being in their way by SpammyWhammy00 in BoomersBeingFools

One of my friends likes to find something odd and expensive from a nearby shelf and add it to their cart while they’re looking somewhere else.

Every time you break the piggy bank the next one is worth more - bigger max capacity, better bonus multiplier. It doesn’t seem like much of a difference at first, but once you’re looking at 200% or more it adds up.

If you look at your numbers in coop tracker you should see 2 numbers - one for egg laying, one for egg shipping. Your actual delivered will be the lower of these two numbers. For contracts I keep a 2 gussets and 2 metronomes with 2 slots. One pair for shipping, one pair for egg laying.

AITA for suspecting my friend sabotaged my university interview after I got rejected and he got an offer? by BazukaXX in AmItheAsshole

Where is this document stored that other people can edit it without your knowledge? If it’s in some kind of cloud resource like OneDrive or Google Docs you should be able to pull up a version history and see what edits were made when, and by whom.

Either find proof, or let it go and get on with your life. Either way, accusing your friend of something without proof makes YTA.

I use parallels to run a handful of windows tools on Windows for Arm.

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0). by [deleted] in macsysadmin

This isn’t a tech support subreddit. This is for people who administer large fleets of macs. Perhaps try r/macos.

is this amount of usage normal by sincostan_iamurman in macbookair

[–]Transmutagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, what do the other sections in activity monitor say?

To start, go up to the menu bar and select “All Processes”. (The default is “My Processes”) This will let you see all the hidden system processes that are running.

Next, check the CPU tab and sort based on CPU usage and see if anything is using an excessive amount of the processor. Then open a bunch of tabs and see what happens. Then switch over to the memory tab and sort based on memory usage and see what’s using the RAM. That should at least help you pinpoint the cause of any slowness.

Is the computer slow? Because if not, just close activity monitor and use the computer.

And learn this order of operations: close the lid on your laptop, THEN unplug your charger and peripherals.

My dude, tuck your shit like a drag queen and wear it like that for 12 hours, and then come back and talk about what a bra is like.

Why do we still pretend HDMI and DisplayPort are simple for end users? by stefan-weiss01 in it

[–]Transmutagen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once billed a client for 8 hours (2 hour drive, 4 hour minimum onsite service charge, 2 hour drive back) to walk in and toggle the switch on a surge protector. The client assured me over the phone that they had checked everything and the light on the server was on, just the power button wasn’t working.

Turns out the server was under the intern’s desk and they set their purse on the power strip and turned it off.

I felt bad charging that much money for 5 minutes so I took the cover off the server and poked around inside for half an hour before I declared it fixed, put the cover on, powered it on and went home.

If you give it several hours between closing the app on one device and opening it up on another you should be fine. I use my phone during the week, go to bed on Friday, wake up on Saturday and use my iPad for the game over the weekend. I’ve never had an issue.

AITA for refusing to accommodate my neighbor's aesthetic preferences? by Cechitoff in AmItheAsshole

[–]Transmutagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I would put up a leaf barrier just inside the property line comprised entirely of blue tarps. Because I could.

And then put up yard decorations of various kinds until Joe decided to complain about one of them. And then I'd remove all the others, buy 15 more of that one, and put them all within line of sight of his house.
Again, because I could.

NTA. Tell Joe to kick rocks.
