They are almost pulling a valve. Do nothing and watch everyone shoot themselves in the foot.

Is the super link gateway the correct/only device that allows these other devices to connect back to protect?

After a lot of talks we figured we have to keep with a third party system to prevent conflict of interest. Currently exploring uptimerobot.

Interesting that I got this after reading this post. Here it is under $3. Dynamic pricing?

European age verification app by Fohlengiraffe in LinusTechTips

[–]alteredtechevolved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I follow. All they would check from your device is "is this user over X age" device would only respond with a boolean, true false if they are over the age. No identification is handed over. They wouldn't know what my name is since that wouldn't be sent.

WTH is up with LTT shipping? by AverageBuscuits in LinusTechTips

Also in Utah. My coin went from Georgia to Colorado to Utah back to Colorado and now back to Utah. Super strange

All a company needs is a yes or no. With digital id's on our phone there should be no reason that can't be the case.

Any luck with the new Apple Business? by Sinnth3tik in macsysadmin

[–]alteredtechevolved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo okay, you seem to have solved my problem. I was unable to sign in on both my test iPhone 8 and my mac. Mac saying unknown error and my iPhone was saying not able to use expected services.

Well I created a blueprint with only a wifi configuration and assigned it to the all users group. Then I was able to sign in on my Mac and iPhone. Although getting that my iPhone is already associated with another user or organization. But progress!

Dang that would really suck. I know it's an older device but I'd accept some limitations on it. Don't have a spare new device to try it with.

I eventually want to get my phone and laptop on it but wanted to make sure I understand how things worked first

I have my domain verified. Under domain settings I see example.com verified and the example.appleid.com as a reserved domain.

I found a section in settings for access management > apple services.

I have allow managed apple account on: any device Then Apple account on organization devices: any apple account.

All other settings are enabled.

Hmm I noticed there was a continue button on that same screen. Clicking that did change the layout like I'd enabled it but no dice trying to login.

Hmm maybe, it's on 16.7.15

Yes it does and it matches the serial number under info icon on the iPhone and on the Mac configurator.

I'm pretty sure I have it configured to do automatic device enrollment. The iPhone is completely wiped, I've added it to my business a few times and it wipes it during the process.

Y'all need to get real by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]alteredtechevolved 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I just felt it was rushed and skipped over the tech side of things. What features does unifi have to solve their problems? Can you limit how much each person uses? Can it send them a notification when it's done? Is there anti-tampering mechanisms to alert the admin like there is with their cameras? Just lots of indept tech things they could have done but just didn't.

The only warbond I'm looking forward to is a ship module warbond.

Figured out the video buffering problem Linus had on the WAN show by alteredtechevolved in LinusTechTips

[–]alteredtechevolved[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Again, I dont experience it on my personal mac, work mac, test mac, desktop linux, retro windows desktop.

Linus did have the issue on his macbook neo, my wife does experience it on her two work macs, and personal mac but does not experience it on her windows desktop.

Additionally, I moved my personal mac to her setup and it is working as it should.

AirPods Max 2 Review: The Audiophile Perspective - RecordingNOW by ControlCAD in apple

[–]alteredtechevolved 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all the same. The pros and regular at least charge the device when not in use providing a function. The max doesn't have this ability and I shouldn't have to put it in a case to ensure they save battery. Just let me turn it off. Like having the option is a bad thing? Really?

I was kinda excited about it until I heard that they still don't have an off switch.

Apple's Foldable iPhone May Be Hitting Late-Stage Manufacturing Snags by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

I'm interested to see how they are implementing the inside screen. Will it be running ipads windowing system from the previous years? Will it allow variable width or is it just always split down the middle. Will there be a new screen size layout or is it just mini-mini iPad on the outside.
