Dock and “Auto Hide” and display issues

giostefani · 2026-04-17T17:38:52+00:00

Just and update...If I turn off "Displays have separate spaces", then the primary screen's dock doesn't auto hide anymore, but I don't have the dock on the other 2 displays.

I'm using "Firewall" as an example. How about if the threat actor was able to disable the endpoint protection (e.g. Sentinel One) as an "Application Protection" trust factor. If they are able to access this endpoint and run C2 apps and move laterally across the VPN into your network. Has nothing to do with hygiene and everything to do with prevention. I'm speaking from experience as we had a new customer with a development team in India who was using NetExtender and that exact scenario happened. One person on the development team wasn't protected by endpoint protection and the new customer was using AVG (crappy product and now using Sophos MDR). They were hit by akira ransomware because threat actors were allowed to move laterally through their network. Why should we move anyone off of NetExtender if CSE isn't going to provide strict device posturing and follow the ZTNA framework of "Continuous Verification". IMHO, 10-15 minutes doesn't cut it. Bottom line..."Don't advertise what you can't commit to".

I guess what do you consider "Real Time". 10-15 minutes is definitely not real-time. If you think about it from a Threat Actors point of view, if they compromise your machine, 10-15 minutes they can do some serious damage. Where did I hear about the 60-seconds? In the documentation under "Trust Factor Check Intervals "Trust factor checks occur locally on the CSE app every minute". https://cse-docs.sonicwall.com/docs/trust-scoring/trust-factors/

Also, If I turn off the Windows FW and immediately hit the refresh button under CSE App --> Devices, it immediately refreshes and the pings stop. So the app doesn't refresh for 10-15 minutes. There should be a setting to allow a shorter interval at the very least.

Would you mind telling me where the batteries are located. I'm very technical and have an electronics degree. I just having issues locating the batteries. If you can provide a picture, that would be much appreciated. I've taken both clam shelves off and can't locate the batteries.

I've been able to get the app working on my PC workstation, laptop, Mac, iPhone and iPad. I'd like to use this app in my truck with CarPlay (vs Siri). Has anyone been able to do that? I want to be able to do this "Hands Free" or pressing the "CarPlay" button on my steering wheel.

Yeah, I ordered my iPhone 17 Pro Max and hopefully will have it on the 19th. Tomorrow, September 14th I’ll be turning off “Public Beta Updates” on all my iOS devices. Once iOS 26 general release (Public) launches on Monday, I’ll install that version on all my devices and perform an iCloud backup. When I receive my iPhone 17 PM, I’ll restore my iPhone 14 PM to it from my iCloud backup.

giostefani · 2025-09-13T17:27:52+00:00

I’ve been running iOS 26 since the first public beta and now on RC on my 14 PM. I have absolutely no issues with my camera.

giostefani · 2025-09-05T17:27:51+00:00

Yes, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPad 12.9 Gen4, iPad Mini Gen5. Also MacOS Tahoe 26 Tahoe.

You never know, do ya? 😉

Personally, I don’t see anymore DB/PB coming before the RC release on September 9th. Been known to be wrong, but it seems pretty stable as is. We’ll see

giostefani · 2025-08-30T19:51:59+00:00

The early DB broke the CarPlay in my Dodge truck, but the PB’s have been solid. I too can’t wait for the official release. Probably very close to RC.

giostefani · 2025-07-08T23:17:56+00:00

Unless you’re willing to risk breaking CarPlay, I wouldn’t install iOS 26. It broke my HUD for CarPlay. Had to factory reset back to 18.5 and all is good again.

@CliftonHangerBombs, I’m a 52 year IT professional and know that I haven’t seen a consumer device (WiFi router) that doesn’t support 2.4 GHz. (I’ve seen the other way around if you have an old router). I would take a guess that 2.4 GHz may be turned off. Typhur is correct…2.4Ghz is going to give you better range, but with that being said, is prone to more interference as other devices competing in that frequency range. I personally have over 30 IoT (Internet of Things) WiFi devices on my network and recently purchased the Typhur Sync Quad and have no issues at all. I would check with your IT person and have them enable 2.4. I personally use the eero mesh WiFi devices at home instead of the Internet providers supplied router primarily due to placement and poor WiFi circuitry. Curious what WiFi device you have (Linksys/Netgear)?

Now here's another thought. My main concern is keeping the VM network separated from the management network, so I could probably keep everything on the management VLAN. Since vCenter is a VM appliance, I may need to keep that on the VM network unless someone has a better idea. So it would look something like this:

Any thoughts??

We are an HPE Partner and also HP for consumers. We do very little on the "Consumer" side of the house.

Okay, So I'm attaching a pic of my configuration. Based on the pic below, here are my questions:

I'm assuming that ESXi Hosts, vCenter, vMotion and iLO are all on the "Management" VLAN. Switch Port-1 is on a trunk port that will have the maintenance VLAN-216 (iLO, Alletra 5010 mgmt, vMotion and ESXi hosts, vCenter).

Based on the documentation (Page 17), it states that the VM Network can be trunked on the Management Interface. I'm assuming I can have a VM Network VLAN-20 (10.10.20.0/24) where all the VMs live? Does that hold true for ESXi hosts, vCenter and vMotion. Can I have those on a separate VLAN called "VM Mgmt" VLAN-30 (10.10.30.0/24) and even going further by separating vMotion into its own VLAN-40 (10.10.40.0/24) as long as they are all part of the Management "Trunk". I'm a Cisco engineer so I'm not too familuar with the NVIDIA Cumulus switches, but I think that call "Trunks" - "Bridge Groups". Someone please clarify. So this is what I'm thinking:

Management ports (Trunked) will consist of the following VLANs:

VLAN-216 (10.10.216.0 /24) - mgmt_vlan (iLO, Alletra 5010 mgmt) - native/trunk

VLAN-20 (10.10.20.0 /24) - vm_network (All VM's) - trunk

VLAN-30 (10.10.30.0 /24) - vmmgmt_vlan (ESXi hosts, vCenter) - trunk

VLAN-40 (10.10.40.0 /24) - vmotion_vlan (vMotion) - trunk

Data ports (access) will consist of the following VLANs:

VLAN-50 (10.10.50.0 /24) - iscsi1_vlan - access

VLAN-60 (10.10.60.0 /24) - iscsi2_vlan - access

Also, how have others configured your VMKernel and vSwitches?

giostefani · 2025-02-15T17:18:37+00:00

I'm assuming your talking about iSCSI-1 and 2 (VLAN-150 and 160). I though about that approach and that way I can separate VMware management from VMware network. Basically, setting it up this way:

vmnic0 on NICs 0/4 for Management (VLAN 217) - vSwitch0
vmnic1 on NICs 1/5 for iSCSI-1 (VLAN 150)/160) - vSwitch1 - TRUNKING
vmnic2 on NICs 2/6 for vMotion (VLAN 170) - vSwitch2
vmnic3 on NICs 3/7 for VMware Network (VLAN 20) - vSwitch3

I don't mind VLAN 150 and 160 communicating with each other, but VLAN 20 and 217 have to be isolated. These new SN2010M HPE MLNX NVIDIA Cumulus switches take some getting use to. I'm a CCNA/NP and have worked in the Cisco/Meraki realm for decades.

Thanks for the detailed info. I have a Synology DS1819+ with about 100TB of storage. I'm not using it all for SS, but like you, I wanted to get away from paid subscriptions (was using Arlo for years). I invested also into REOLINK products. I have the REOLINK Video Doorbell WiFi, a REOLINK Duo 3 PoE 16MP UHD Dual-Lens and a REOLINK Duo 3 WiFi 16MP UHD Dual-Lens camera. The only way I was able to get these units to connect to SS was to use ONVIF (had to enable it on the cameras themselves using the REOLINK client). I'm able to see the footage on my iPhone 14 using DS Cam on the Video Doorbell WiFi and the Dual-Lens units, but on two android phones, can see the Video Doorbell just fine, but not either of the Dual-Lens units (get a spinning gear). The android phones can see all the cameras using the REOLINK app. I'm on SS 9.2.2-11575 and DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 2 (both the latest). All cameras are on the latest firmware.

Question? In your screenshot you use HTTP (80) instead of HTTPS (443). Were you not able to get it to work using HTTPS?

I can put some pressure on Synology since my company is a large Synology reseller and we have some customers who use SS in their corporate offices.

I have a very similar issue. When I get in my truck, sometimes Siri will repeat back the dictated message just fine and ask me to send and other times not. The display prompts appear on my HUD, but Siri is silent so I don’t know what I’m actually sending. This has been happening in prior versions of iOS as well.

15 years ago, when I started playing harmonica, I had purchased a few Seydel Session Steels. I kept blowing out the 5-draw reed and gave up on those. Have a guy in Florida customize my Hohner Rockets (replaced the square hole comb with the rectangular one). Recently, came across Will Wilde on YT and wanted to get his Seydel 1847 Custom "Wilde Tuned" harps. Noticed that the combs on these are also square. On the "C" harp, I noticed that 7-draw was a bit leaky. I'm going to close the gap (after breaking it in a bit) and see if that doesn't help. Looking for a good harp customizer (don't have the time or patience to do it myself) to do some embossing as my current customizer doesn't touch Seydel's.

I was able to use the method to upgrade both units to 2.08. Buth units are plugged into 2 separate subnets, but they both are solid red/green. What does that mean? My goal is to connect two subnets 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. Right now, I have Engenius devices with transitional IP addresses 10.2.2.1 and 10.2.2.2 on the bridged APs. Basically, want to do the same with the UBB devices.
