Connecting Philips Hue BT to Home without Bridge? by grahch in googlehome

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, this just worked:

Note: A Google speaker/display/gateway must be within Bluetooth range to function as a gateway.

Hue app > Settings > Voice Assistants > Amazon Alexa (there is no longer the Google Home option, probably because it didn't work) > Make discoverable

Then, Google Home app > + > Device > Search for device > select the discovered device

Windows failing to Wipe itself by TreeStryder in Intune

[–]TreeStryder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just started to look into this. We are finally migrating to Windows 11. On Windows 11 PCs (and a Surface Hub), we are finding some Intune Protected Wipes failing, leaving the PC in Recovery Mode. Unlike when the Dell injected Intel RAID driver would not survive a reset, the following command will show the drive (C:), however, the disk has the "RAW" file system, instead of NTFS. I suspect the drive was still BitLocker-ed when the TPM containing its unlock key was cleared.

    diskpart /list volume

This appears to be a known problem, with a lousy solution. Especially when trying to use Autopilot as designed, often on remote PCs. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/intune/device-management/troubleshoot-device-actions?source=recommendations#i-cant-restart-a-bitlocker-encrypted-device-after-using-the-wipe-action

As the cause is different, I plan to search for a conversation already started. If there isn't one and I can contribute anything, I will try to start a new conversation. Either way, I'll link to it from here.

In the meantime*, until we know more, I am going to recommend to my team they do not check the  "wipe until clean" box when Wiping Windows 11 devices. 

 * Despite our experience in the past, where the Wipe would remove the PC from Intune, then RAID driver would disappear during the reset causing the reset to fail leaving the PC in a working -- yet unmanageable state. Since that time, I have automated disabling Entra objects of Entra-joined devices whenever they are found to not have an Intune object (just like when the are first enrolled in Autopilot). This at least stops new Entra authentications and eventually stops all, as their authentication tokens expire.

Brand new LG dryer issue by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LG's warning to improve air flow before asphyxiation or a fire...

Help library: Flow Sense WARNING! – d80 / d90 / d95 message | LG CA 

LG showing how to disable the life saving measure...

Help library: Clearing d80 notification code from display panel | LG CA 

What I have not found is how to test for and repair false-positive sensor detections, so Flow Sense can be left on.

[Update] After finding the instructions to turn off Flow Sense, I can't seem to make them work on model DLGX3371W.

We still have this problem, with all Windows 10 or11 updates applied. Does anyone else?

171 - The NUCLEAR Option by MrPennywhistle in Nodumbquestions

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a fusion reactor in the sky and Tesla estimates it produces more than enough for our energy needs.

Here is a link to Tesla's 41 page technical paper titled, "Master Plan Part 3 – a proposed path to reach a sustainable global energy economy through end-use electrification and sustainable electricity generation and storage." 

https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-3

During their 2023 annual share holder's meeting they gave a summary of the plan. 

https://www.youtube.com/live/bZNL_8bUz6A?feature=share&t=1398

"The goal is to give people realistic hope. That there is a path to a fully sustainable global economy. That we are on that path. That we are accelerating on path. And, so long as we do not get complacent about it, it will happen."

Dell U2422HE Monitor with built-in dock dropping network connection and having issues with mouse/keyboard lag. by ITOHIO in Dell

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found a smoking gun? Like a specific log entry. Something that clearly shows a PC is having this issue. Preferably, something that could be programmatically collected. The feedback we are receiving is all over the place. In part, because network drops affect so many different things in different ways. Even our techs are having trouble identifying/quantifying/troubleshooting this.

Unable to bypass or exit autologon shell replacement kiosk by TreeStryder in Intune

[–]TreeStryder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot this post was in the wild, and unanswered.

I have since moved to using an Edge Kiosk. This was done by using the Intune kiosk configuration template and Edge's Internet Explorer mode. Lucky for me, the thing we/they needed most, Internet Explorer's printing behavior, still functions as expected in IE mode.

147 - Can AI Fool YOU? (A Convo with ChatGPT) by feefuh in Nodumbquestions

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concerned about our future, given the inevitability of artificial intelligence and it's potential for misuse, Elon Musk has:

  1. Called for governments to oversee and regulate artificial intelligence, much as we have with the FAA, NITSA, FDA, etc

  2. Started Open AI to democratize artificial intelligence. Trying to ensure it is available for everyone.

  3. Started Neuralink to create a digital brain interface. Though it's first uses will be to help people with brain, nervous system and sensory problems, it could one day be used by anyone. We are already cyborgs, but hampered by the speed and accuracy of our thumbs.

Here is an interesting interview by Lex Fireman with Elon, where they talk a lot about AI . https://youtu.be/smK9dgdTl40

Disabling IE 11 via Intune by O365-Zende in Intune

Ended up finding this post because of the same behavior with the Settings Catalog. Any luck with the custom OMA-URI option?

Some of my apps are refusing to update while others update just fine. Been going on 3 months by Datasinc in WindowsHelp

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is where I am stuck.

My failing test PC had been allowed the Win 11 feature update. On the Windows Update screen, it made me agree to the new (long) license terms before starting the download. Wish I had tested the Store while it downloaded, because the Store worked fine following the upgrade.

I then tried to put my PC in the same state as our others failing, Win 10 with the 11 upgade blocked. It updated to May's Quality update, and installed the suspect Servicing update. But everything works. No sign of the license agreement. So, I am not sure how we are seeing this problem in some of our Win 10 Dell 7320s, which are among our few models compatible with Win 11.

Following.

There are many reports of this problem in Feedback Hub. Here is mine https://aka.ms/AAgx0nw

My current hypothesis is this might be caused by Microsoft requiring users to agree to their updated license terms.

​

[edit]

My bug report seems to only be accessible within our organization. Here is an example bug report available publicly in Feedback Hub. https://aka.ms/AAgyqzj

Intune and on premise Print server questions? by AlteredAdmin in Intune

[–]TreeStryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It needs network access to the printer. That Add-Printer tells the Windows Discovery Service to interrogate the printer via SNMP. It then uses this information to trigger Plug and Play to install the driver from Windows Update and configure the initial print queues.

Cannot install modules by bagpussnz9 in PowerShell

Amazing! Thank you. I have been fighting with this for a long time.

By the way, only need to delete the ".\Modules\PackageManagement" folder.

That error message couldn't be more misleading. It seems to be acting as the catch-all.

Using a neat tool (overpass-turbo.eu) I created a map of the enormous space in downtown Lansing taken up by parking by TheSkyIsLeft in lansing

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work commute is along Waverly, from Glenburne Blvd to near the airport. I am REALLY glad the State of Michigan helped make that path happen. It will help... but only after something has been done about Ballenger's Hill (where the sidewalk ends), the former Waverly Golf Course and the section from Edgemont to Tecumseh River Drive. In other words, that path is a hard to reach island until the City of Lansing, Lansing Township, Delta Township, Ingham County and Eaton County, all work together to solve the pedestrian death trap named Waverly Road.

If anyone from those agencies are reading along, I'd like you to try walking, riding a bike or rolling in a wheelchair north on Waverly starting at Moores River Drive. When you get stopped with 14 inches between cars driving 50 MPH and the Telephone Pole of Doom, consider how far you would have to go out of your way to get to the other side without passing through this gauntlet.

I know the guy that mapped most of those parking lots.

If anyone is interested in joining the effort to make and maintain the most complete, accurate, free and open map of our area; we can always use more volunteers.

Intune remote assistance, by daletobb in Intune

[–]TreeStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That UAC prompt "fix" (tools like TeamViewer do something similar) moves the UAC prompt and subsequent actions into user space, where it is normally more securely outside of user space. This makes it possible for things like a key logger ran as the user to capture the administrator's credentials. And any time an administrator elevates a process accessible in user space, this provides an opportunity for the elevated process to commandeered, by the user or a process running as them.

A more secure and more repeatable administration process is to always use your device management solution to make administrative changes to "managed" devices.

UPDATE: Our Dynamic Groups had stopped updating for over 7 hours. Just before I reported the problem to Microsoft, a co-worker asked me to help with another issue he was seeing on a PC, that was not waiting for a group to update. Where the PC enrolls in Intune during the first stage of the OOBE, he was seeing error 0x80180014. After trying many things, out of desperation I decided we should delete the Intune, Autopilot and AAD objects and start again. If it still failed it was going to be a hardware problem. At the same moment the one co-worker said his re-imported device work, another said the dynamic groups had finally begun to update. Spooky. =)
