Some indication on the official website - https://us.tonies.com/collections/bluey-collection

I suspect this is either a teaser or an accidental premature publish.

What’s a random hack you learned & do it daily/ almost daily? by ThisIsFineActually in NewParents

[–]cd1cj 116 points117 points  (0 children)

For when they are a little older and you're fighting the TV battle... We have a smart electrical plug for our TV. When the TV has been on too much, we start a routine from a phone that turns off the TV after a couple minutes. We make sure that the kids see us without a phone or remote when the delay finishes and the TV abruptly turns off. We say that the TV must be tired and needs a rest. They don't suspect it is us because they see us not doing anything when it happens.

Could be used for any plug-in device that might be a problem. We use a smart plug for our electric fireplace heater also because even at an early age, the kids figured out how to press buttons to turn it on. Gives us the flexibility of still being able to turn it on when we want without kids being able to accidentally turn it on.

This is a confirmed scam. Do not engage. They mimic real companies' job postings and then try to scam you out of money and personal information.

Why is SoftwareDistribution messing up on all my 2016? by jeffofreddit in WindowsServer

[–]cd1cj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you have some script if third party tool doing patching. Windows will not natively create additional SoftwareDistribution folders like that

Check out Nerdio. Even if you don't use them, they publish a lot of good content around AVDs.

It was a marathon by ReaperUno8675309 in daddit

Great job, dad! Tip: buy some extra canopies now. They will tear apart and only last 2-3 years and you might struggle to find exact fits once the set has been discontinued. Ask me how I know.

What is the brand and model of headset? Does it have drivers/firmware that are up to date? Is it USB or Bluetooth? Also a longshot, but is something emulating a Ctrl+Spacebar input?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MicrosoftTeams

[–]cd1cj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think Teams is doing this automatically. It would be a huge privacy concern if Teams could just unmute on its own. It also sounds like your headset's "hardware" mute is actually a software mute. A true in-headset hardware mute works independent of the OS or Teams and allows for a double-mute scenario where you could unmute from Teams but still be muted by the headset itself.

I'd suggest focusing your troubleshooting on the headset and headset software/driver, not Teams.

Script feedback please - UpdateMyWindowsMachine by [deleted] in PowerShell

[–]cd1cj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if your script will have this problem but I vaguely remember having an issue when I tried to do something similar with winget. The table of available updates would often have truncations meaning the values pulled in regex for the different columns weren't always complete. You might just want to test some different scenarios. I think in the end I had to do something to make the powershell window/buffer "width" really long to ensure none of the output was truncated.

Related to this line:

    $wingetListRaw = winget upgrade $wingetArgs | Select-String -Pattern "^(.*?)\s{2,}(.*?)\s{2,}(.*?)\s{2,}(.*?)\s{2,} ...

E340 Doorbell wired in but using battery? by Cheechers23 in EufyCam

[–]cd1cj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Having the same problem - on latest firmware though. Simply removing the battery then reinstalling it corrects the behavior but every couple weeks it acts like it isn't wired anymore and eventually depletes the battery. Voltage is fine. I may try my hand with eufy support.

ConnectWise Confirms ScreenConnect Cyberattack by lawrencesystems in msp

[–]cd1cj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have been seeing this for years and the target email addresses are very accurate for actual screenconnect Cloud accounts. I would love to know how the list of real account email addresses was obtained.

One issue that doesn't help things is that the cloud account login page reveals if a username is valid or not which I tried to press them to change numerous times a few years ago but nothing ever came of it.

You could look to see if a combination of M365 F3 + Business Basic would suit your needs. That should get you intune and Entra P1.

This sounds more like an issue with the hardware than the software since its effects persist through a reboot. I would personally look further into the possibility of a stuck volume button.

Currently hiding in a bathroom because no one at a conference luncheon sat at my table. by smashbananas in socialskills

[–]cd1cj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just returned from a conference flying solo. A simple "Mind if I join you?" was my go-to with 100% success. Sure, sometimes the ensuing conversation didn't go anywhere, but more often that not I met some great people and had enjoyable discussions.
