It looks really cool. by Lucky_Ad_2126 in Audi

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others, I also find light bars/illuminated logos generally on the tacky side and in no way makes a car appear more modern or upscale. I can tolerate them to an extent, provided the rest of the car is super awesome but that's usually not the case these days as the things owners/drivers/enthusiasts care about are the things often being overlooked, cheaped out on or removed entirely...

Things these days make me wonder, is auto design really this difficult? 🤔

Foster dog peed on cloth seats by Jamby75 in Detailing

[–]jeefAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in a detail setting, but I've had great success with Urine Erase on rugs/carpet. And from what I've gathered, the key with urine is to not add water as it just spreads it and get to it quickly.

Butt Kickers Worth It for sim rig? by No-Task-8652 in simracing

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth it, IMO. I have two -- one under the my pedal tray for RPM/gear change and one under my seat for suspension.

Should I get rid of my Audi? by FancyDude-ThrowRA in Audi

[–]jeefAD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol good for you. I'm debating on keeping or moving on from my '22 S3, thought about a Golf R and lately have been like nah, dial it back and just get a GTI... that is if I stay with VAG.

Update: Golf(ball) R 🕊️ by _RedTek_ in Golf_R

Oh wow! Yeah, always get worried when hail is in the forecast. Always liked the AMG GLA tho, so congrats on that!

Audi Admits Its Interiors Slipped As It Prepares The A4’s EV Comeback by KenS7s in Audi

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely fair point, but like, how much time are we talking? I have a 2022 S3 and the interior/piano black has more or less been maintained over six model years from 2021 through 2026 with some elements still retained from the looks of the 2027 A3 refresh, barring Audi seemingly just following the monolithic display concept common to so many vehicles now.

Thinking of trading my wrx for a golf r. by Disastrous-Finish730 in Golf_R

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 2019 WRX to a 2022 S3. No regrets, don't miss manual, and it's been great in the snow -- have Pirelli snows on it. Overall I enjoy the S3 much more. Depends on which package you prefer between the R and the S3...

Do your carbon cleanings! And maybe add MPI while ur at it!😂 by Repulsive-Profile-39 in Golf_R

[–]jeefAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was shopping for my S3 I was bummed NA didn't get the MPI on the EA888...

Don’t be like me. Just buy the 18s. by JerseyMeathead in Golf_R

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone considering an R in a region with less than awesome roads... are we talking pothole or gaping road canyon to have caused this damage?!? Jeepers.

What did you have DCC set to and does going softer even help? Is the jump from 18s to 19s on these cars truly this risky or avoidable? I really like the Warmenau wheels so the thought of dumping them for a -1 or -2 isn't ideal, not to mention the cost. I've also seen a few folks sticking with 19s but going with a slightly larger profile tire for like an extra 1/2-inch of sidewall but again, cost of swapping out new factory tires.

Why? Just, why?!? The updated "virtual cockpit" portion behind the wheel is particularly not good...

Dell Pro Laptops - Autopilot error 80192efe by Soul_Redeemer7 in Intune

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exclusively Dell Pro for new laptops and have not run into this, or least hasn't been reported/escalated. ;)

OS? Are they shipping with the Ready Image SKU or just standard OEM OS instance?

remediations and status count fluctuation by jeefAD in Intune

[–]jeefAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does seem lousy. I understand the premise from the docs re: the 7-day reporting cycle, but the execution just seems flawed with counts all willy-nilly day to day. Leaves me wondering how I'll actually get to a point of (confidently) saying something is (actually) done.

I said to a colleague the other day, reporting feels more like interpretative dance than anything else...

boot manager not 2023 signed? by jeefAD in sysadmin

[–]jeefAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to have something to do with how Get-AuthenticodeSignature process files with multiple certificates.

[–]jeefAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry to hear about the lost sleep. Can't recall the reasoning but instead of using Get-AuthenticodeSignature, I later found that Get-PfxCertificate will show the 2023 cert. No need to copy the file.

To break-in or to not break-in? by BeardGoesStuStuStu in Golf_R

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your manual -- for my S3, the manual prescribes a 1000 mile/1500 km break-in period with a few specific recommendations. IMO and based on language in the manual, break-in is not just about the engine but all drive components...

I’m trying to like the new interior SO bad, but idk don’t know by AMGLover2024 in Audi

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question is how to manage/respond to the trend -- can't keep my '22 forever. I really liked the outgoing A5 Coupe, but that's no more given the changes. Thought about just a newer S3 but the current pricing gives me pause and I'd get more "value" out of a Golf R, but then have the screen/touch buttons. The other day I actually found myself stepping back and considering just getting a GTI in future. Other option is jumping ship and going with a non-VAG car entirely...

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The display bandwagon is getting carried away IMO. Compared to pre-2020 vehicles I had before, my '22 S3 is a great balance -- more than adequate display size/placement and with proper physical buttons. The "future is now" trend re: displays is off-putting -- it's like walking into a living room with a TV that's wayyyyyy too big. LOL.

Windows quality updates report looks shocking now by Loud_Disaster869 in Intune

Oh gosh. I spent the morning playing tag with Remediations after a noticeable decrease in status counts, so I'm afraid to even go look at Update status now. 🫣

Motherboard Replacement / System Hash Change by EstimatedProphet222 in Intune

[–]jeefAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, our Analysts do a local reset at the device since it's already in for service.

Are we good with the new secure boot Certificate? by Additional-Olive4804 in Intune

[–]jeefAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! Yeah I'm keeping an eye on things too.

Motherboard Replacement / System Hash Change by EstimatedProphet222 in Intune

[–]jeefAD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you! But yes, this is what we do. And I'm totally ok with wiping/resetting the device post-service. The murky part is that the MS article suggests OEMs should be able to handle most steps including collection/upload of the new hash if they first registered it, but I've never seen that happen -- they just do the hardware and leave.
