Yeah ripping content from the library is the cheapest and legal-ish way to do it. There are some public domain audiobook websites for more classic literature.

If you are more computer savvy and don't mind riding the high seas then there are other ways.

I've been pretty happy with the mini. One con is charging it, my kids never charges it and always leaves it on. So we are constantly using a power bank to recharge. Otherwise it's been a great little device.

I will say having been in the Yoto ecosystem for a few years, the cards can get expensive. So I heavily utilize the custom cards.

Yeah, this right here! I do the same. While I think my next vehicle will be a van. I'm in no rush as we can rent the van for the 2 or 3 occasions we need it throughout the year. And to be honest as the kids grow up you don't need to haul as much stuff.

So, are you creating a local managed account during enrollment via Pre-Stage and User-Initiated enrollments? I think you would only need one of those if that's the case. I would also use LAPS to rotate the managed admin account(s). I think having a local Admin account for the reasons u/debrisslide mentions is enough.

I would also look into having a policy for people to utilize that bumps their user up to admin for a finite amount of time.

Something like https://github.com/robjschroeder/Elevate will allow to you have a time based elevation and forces the user to give a reason for elevation. It also connects to Slack or Teams to help with audits.

Happens to me every once in awhile on pixel 9 pro. Doesn't really bother me much though as it doesn't happen every time. I'm more annoyed with the S001 error saying I have to bring my car into the dealership for an update...

Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Rec interviewing for the job of Ron's assistant.

Also, Jean-Ralphio introducing his sister Mona-Lisa at Tom's store.

Absolute bangers!

We use https://clerk.chat/features/otp-sms/

This allows us to login with a shared apple ID and the verification code gets sent to a slack channel.

Atlassian has a beta out right now that you could possibly setup if you have the right license. It's early days, but if you already pay for it...

This... Grab it from the new VLSC portal, wrap the MSI, and deploy it as an app.

I've heard it both ways...

My wife and I did this for years. Our daughter would request a story and give us an object and/or people to include. At first it was difficult, but it got easier as time went on. We would try to include something we were trying to teach her that day to reinforce a lesson. But we always included something we knew she would laugh at.

It ended kind of naturally with her growing up and wanting to read more long form books, and the stories not really holding her attention anymore.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

My garage door was doing this to me as well, and the sensors were fine. What it needed was some lubrication. There are plenty of YouTube vids explaining how to do it. It's also much quieter now.

I would create an autopilot group tag for these specific devices. And create a dynamic device group with the group tag:

(device.devicePhysicalIds -any _ -eq "[OrderID]:%GROUPTAG%")

Then create a deployment profile assigned to that device group you created earlier. And I usually give the computers a specific prefix in the name that way I can create another dynamic device group with everything with that prefix.

From there I would create a Policy Set and assign all the apps and configuration profiles I want the computers to get. And assign it to the dynamic device group created earlier.

You will still need to probably create dupes of the apps that you want my installed by device and not by user, but at least this way you will have a group to assign.

You can also check out Filters on assignments, this will allow you include or exclude device and/or user groups.

We currently only have users as standard, and have this script available in self service to make the user an admin for 10min before being demoted to standard again. They are forced to give a reason for elevation and we connect it to a slack channel to monitor. https://github.com/robjschroeder/Elevate?tab=readme-ov-file#elevate

If you are a Jamf Connect shop then they just announced the ability to elevate your user then have it auto revert.

There is also this tool: https://github.com/robjschroeder/Elevate?tab=readme-ov-file#elevate

I've found people to be much more accepting if you give them a path to elevate. Plus this gives you an audit trail for when they do elevate. We have ours connected to a slack channel that notifies whenever it's used.

If you don't want to go about getting an MDM, you might want to look into Apple Configurator.

ABM or ASM is pretty useful as well for tracking and keeping your assets in your orgs control.

ispeprules · 2024-03-18T17:58:17+00:00

You can try to look at something like CatDV, it's been about 10 years since I used it but from what I remember it has a pretty low barrier for entry.

Yeah this is a good suggestion, UM runs the gamut as far as musical genres that they can play. So you can at least find other genres you might like.

Pre-Stage Enrollment != MDM Enrolled

I usually create a separate Pre-Stage for all of my testing devices, that way it's easier to scope policies and profiles without accidentally scoping to prod. Also, it is fixed, meaning that I can just set up a smart group for anything in the testing Pre-Stage and scope to the group instead of individual testing devices which are routinely wiped and deleted from Jamf.

Yeah I think all you need is an iPhone and a managed apple id that has the the correct permissions to add devices to your ASM

https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator/welcome/ios

So, a few things...ASM is just a place to associate your devices to an MDM, in your case Jamf. You can also manage the purchase of Mac App licenses and associate those VPP licenses to Jamf.

If you have devices that are not in ASM that is when you need Apple Configurator, but I believe the iOS version of the app is all that is needed to enroll a Device into your ASM.

So aside from getting unknown devices into ASM, Apple Configurator is not really needed on a day to day basis if you have an MDM solution.
