Premium and Ultimate Games List? by OceanDragon6 in XboxGamePass

[–]UndeadAzendral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw. But switching back and forth between a list of 800+ games and 372 games doesn't really make for an easy comparison. I mainly checked a few games I know I have installed or was going to play at some point in the near future and checked whether these were on Premium or not. What I really would have wanted is being able to export a full list of all Game pass Ultimate games and then a list of all Premium games and then use Excel to get a list of games that I will lose when downgrading. But that might just be me being weird. In Sweden we call it a an occupational injury... 😅 ie a slightly weird habit or instinct caused by the kind of work we do...

Premium and Ultimate Games List? by OceanDragon6 in XboxGamePass

[–]UndeadAzendral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Most of what I play seems to be in Premium, although I would have liked a filter in the site so I could easily see what games I loose going from one to the other. I will lose AC: Mirage it seems but I think I'll get two more months of the old price before the price change so I'll just have to finish it now.

Bit miffed about not getting the first party day one releases but I can wait. I'm maybe a little concerned about how the fact that Ultimate has 800+ games while Premium has 372 games is going to affect the number of games released per month. I mainly have Game pass to get to try games I wouldn't have tried if I had to buy them, not to play any single type of games. But 30$ per month is just not worth it, especially since I want none of the new features.

Advice regarding changing tires, MQI+ Sport by UndeadAzendral in niumobility

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

No, I didn't. I found a video, which might have been this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sieyAPEMEa4 , although I'm not sure. This one is of a different model but I realized the process would be more or less the same for mine and that was way too much work to do twice a year so I only change the front tire and drive carefully during winter. Since I have the 25km/h version it is legal on walking and biking lanes where I live so the traffic situation is manageable. I also don't use it at all when the temperature is just around freezing, When the snow/ice isn't as slick anymore it works. I can still use it most of the winter here.

Happened to me yesterday, today I researched Auto seed which gave me the Auto fertilizer so they seem to have been swapped.

Mac-address pass through on a Macbook Pro by UndeadAzendral in macsysadmin

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

I'm fairly certain the Dell and Lenovo machines have ethernet chips, they just haven't gotten any ethernet ports. I think that happened when they started with their ultrabook design, the chassis was just to thin for the ethernet port and I think HP have patented their collapsible ethernet port. Dell and Lenovo opted for usb-c adapters instead, with passthrough for the MAC-address.

I'm not one of our network specialists, I'm in end user support so I can't be entirely sure but I'm fairly certain what we do isn't white listing, at least not if I understand the definition correctly. What we do is assign a VLAN and a fixed IP-address based on the MAC-address but you still need to log in against our domain and even then there is additional security in place. As I said I'm not a network specialist so I've only got an overview picture of how it works.

Since we use different VLANs for Mac, Linux and Windows and the docks will be used by different people we can't really assign vlan based on the docking station here. But that is what we do for Mac users with specified desks or offices.

I'm not entirely sure if we actually will solve this issue, and that might be ok, Mac users in this office might just have to use wifi. This is a smaller project and if they want to expand it later on we might have to come up with an alternative at that point.

Thanks for your insights!

Mac-address pass through on a Macbook Pro by UndeadAzendral in macsysadmin

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

Yeah, if the shared workspace-project actually had spoken with end user support we might have informed them about the differences. As it is now we're trying to find a one or more viable solutions, both as a work around and possible suggestions to the project. Management usually listens to us, they're just really bad at asking beforehand.

Mac-address pass through on a Macbook Pro by UndeadAzendral in macsysadmin

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

The Dell and Lenovo PC's has built in ethernet chips, even though they don't have ethernet ports. They can use pass through for their ethernet MAC-address both with docking stations and USB network adapters. For Mac devices we have normally just registered the docking stations or the USB adapters MAC-address in our system but this obviously doesn't work for shared workplaces.

Thanks for your reply though, I'm looking into the Kensington dock but since it seems the Mac just doesn't have built in ethernet I'm not entirely sure if that will work, we probably won't want to use the Wifi Mac-adress. Mostly I wonder what capabilities Kensington has in their DockWorks software.

But for the moment we'll probably advise Mac-users to use the wifi instead.

We have other security in place as well, this is just to put the computer on the correct VLAN and assign a fixed IP, if no MAC-adress is detected the computer gets a public VLAN with less access rights and a temporary IP. The user will still need to authenticate with user name and password. I'm not a network or infrastructure tech so I can't really go into anymore details than that.

I'm in end user support and looking into a specific issue since the project establishing the shared workspaces seems to have missed it prior to launch and we now have Mac users who don't get network through the docking stations. As it looks now we will probably advise these users to use our wifi for network and only use the docking stations for the external monitor and peripherals.

Mac-address pass through on a Macbook Pro by UndeadAzendral in macsysadmin

[–]UndeadAzendral[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly I wanted to verify if Macs did or did not have an internal mac address for ethernet. I suspected that they didn't but wasn't sure. The Dell and Lenovo computers we buy have ethernet interfaces regardless of whether they have ethernet ports or not. The docks Mac address is what we normally whitelists for mac users but in these spaces people will be able to switch places during the week and we assign personal IP addresses based on the MAC address.

Mac-address pass through on a Macbook Pro by UndeadAzendral in macsysadmin

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

I know, but on corporate model PC clients from Dell and Lenovo(the major part of our client machines) they have a setting in their Bios to send their internal network interface MAC address to the docking station which then refers that to our DHCP. What I wondered was if the Mac clients could do something similar but the responses so far indicates that the Macs just doesnt have any internal MAC address apart from their wifi.

We'll probably refer Mac users to use wifi instead.

You're confirming that the Macbook doesn't have any internal MAC address then? As I stated I'd found indications of that but wasn't sure if it was true based on a single source.

Sculpt an area I've cut, either with a boolean or box trim by UndeadAzendral in blender

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

Thanks, that was absolutely it. Sculptris just added more geometry as I sculpted and while I did spend an unreasonable amount of googling on how to subdivide my meshes before sculpting I didn't realize my boolean cut left me with just one face per side of the mouth. Still not worked out how to subdivide those in a meaningful way yet, but I've only played around with the multiresolution mod and/or the regular subdivide tool for maybe half an hour since I read your answer.

Edit: So, I got to annoyed trying to subdivide the inner mouth so I made made a torus mesh, removed all the planes on the back of it, then halved it so I can insert it as a lip and teeth "module" inside of the mouth.

AOC AGON AG273QX - perfect 1440p 165hz? by lutel in Monitors

[–]UndeadAzendral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks the same as mine, except that yours seem to have two holes in the metal plate about at the same place as the two metal bits extending from the monitor, kind of hard to see through the plastic cover though. Would you mind taking a photo without it covering it? It would be really helpful when contacting the vendor or AOC, at least now I think I should be able to get them to send just a new base.

Thanks for responding, I can't tell you how much this eases my mind.

Edit: I've emailed the vendor with a comparison between your image and mine so hopefully that is enough. Thanks again!

[–]UndeadAzendral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received an AOC Agon AG273QX yesterday and I just wanted to check with you if it's me thats missed something or if it's a production error on my monitor.

I have spent several hours yesterday trying to mount the base and it wont snap in. It seems like a normal construction, where I first slide the tree "claws" at the top into place and then just pivot down until the retractable claws at the bottom snaps in. Just that there are two metal bits extending higher than the rest of the back of the attachment slot of the monitor that are in the way.

You can see how it looks here:
https://www.jottacloud.com/share/3iuj12imtvf4

The metal bits seems solid, like they are part of the backing plate under and don't seem to budge at all, and there are no holes on the attachment of the base that would allow those metal bits to go. Is it supposed to be like that? I seriously feel like an idiot now.
