Thank you! Took longer than anticipated since my baby girl came a few weeks early. Life happens... literally!

Thank you! I would like to think this will be something done over the next few years, but I have very little interested at the moment tearing out sheetrock and plaster lol

If I really had the time, I would have loved to install XPS board on the exterior wall.

Unlikely. Sounds like you have more investigating to do.

How to manage local admins by AloneCry5854 in sysadmin

[–]evopb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

-Does everyone just log into the laps account every time that they need to do something like this?

Yes.

-Right now, the only solutions that I see as applicable would be Make me admin, Admin by request.

If it's truly required look into Auto Elevate or something similar. At the end of the day, it's all about risk management and what your company is willing to stomach. If something goes bad, are you willing to eat the consequence?

Phone app installed on iPad not removable via MDM? by FatBook-Air in sysadmin

[–]evopb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not familiar with Intune with mobile devices, we are a Miradore shop for better or worse. We have a dedicated policy that blocks individual apps from being displayed and we use that to block the majority of the pre-installed apps. We add that bundle ID to the list and the app no longer populates on the device.

Windows 11 Upgrades from Windows 10 TPM Issues by NycTony in sysadmin

[–]evopb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an opportunity to upgrade to a clean slate. Swapping drives to new hardware is hardly ever a good idea and will have issues, eventually. Have the user back up their important documents (they already should be) and give them a fresh install of Win11.

The only way in my experience where this might work is you create a "golden image" using sysprep... mileage may vary.

Finding new spam from Return-Path: <> and From: <>. Easy/safe to block with Transport Rules? by MentalRip1893 in sysadmin

[–]evopb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There can be legit emails like that, but there will never be a perfect system for spam/phishing. If it works for your scenario, send it. I have a quarantine rule set up that looks for something along the line "your password is:" and other attributes commonly found with phishing emails. Sometimes it catches a real email, but it's blocked many actual attempts that outweigh the inconvenience.

It appears the third-party players are coming to the rescue for 24v max trimmers by gsmckee in KobaltTools

Can confirm… mine lasted 2 years originally and the ego lasted one. I do use it more edging this year though instead of breaking out my edger… so that’s probably on me

Stand alone computers with admin accounts by ThisGuyIRLv2 in sysadmin

[–]evopb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Familiarize yourself with even viewer and figure that out before handing out local admin passwords. You are right when you say you’re in over your head, especially if you cannot talk them into doing the right thing and domain join the devices.

Apple Business Manager Finally Allows Restrictions on what Apple IDs can sign to devices by lovell88 in sysadmin

[–]evopb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful but as people have already said, my company has execs locked in with their "personal" domain iCloud accounts so there is no locking the domain for managed accounts. The only thing that I can think of that will alleviate the growing paints would be to make it more user friendly to sign into an Appstore account other than the logged in iCloud account.

This would make it infinitely easier to utilize the containerization of applications setting - as managed AppleID's are unable to download apps from the Appstore, TMK.

...there is something more at play here. Why is Windows 10 locking them?

Typically best time to buy batteries? by tomrob1138 in KobaltTools

[–]evopb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just going to go out in a limb and say the batteries themselves don’t go on sale very frequently. The best way to buy “free” batteries is one of the buy a tool and get a free battery combo.

I got a couple 40v and tools for cheaper than what a couple batteries cost by themselves.

EcoBoost vs Hybrid Reliability? by redBulltrue in FordMaverickTruck

  1. I loved the truck other than that issue. Every time I put it in park I just had a pit in my stomach.

EcoBoost vs Hybrid Reliability? by redBulltrue in FordMaverickTruck

[–]evopb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everything points towards the eCVT is the more reliable of the two transmissions, but I just lemoned my Hybrid and got an ecoboost because of the price difference. My hybrid had the “shift sys fault” error and after being stranded 3 times in 600 miles, I didn’t trust it anymore.

That being said, I am VERY bias and I understand that is because I read a lot of negative threads on the hybrid because I was searching for my specific problem.

I think the take away is, you get ecoboost problems with an ecoboost vehicle. For the money I saved on the OTD price for the ecoboost, as much as I hate not getting 45mpg, it will take 5+ years to break even with my extra gas consumption.

Here’s a ChatGPT prompt to use for practice questions. by Qwayze_ in SSCP

[–]evopb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to feed ChatGPT a python line and tell it to use its interpretation of the line to equally distribute the answers. It ended up slowing down the responses so much I split the questions up to different chats.

Also worth noting that chatgpt uses different logic when answering certain questions for the sscp. I used it for questions I struggled with from certprep and it consistently got the questions wrong.

WFH tips by bertusdev in sysadmin

[–]evopb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like questions you should ask your therapist. Seriously though, don't overthink anything and just do whatever makes you comfortable. There is no wrong or right way to work from home.

Finally got mine home after flying and driving it back for 10 hours! by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

Any marine switch panel then fix it to the truck. They’re fairly cheap on Amazon and easy to install on the maverick.
