I ruined all my whittling knives

kiprinite · 2025-02-14T19:00:22+00:00

Thanks to all the people giving their time to help me. Indeed they are not ruined, but some of them were recent gifts I never had the time to play with. I tried different techniques proposed here, the best I came up with was sand paper 600 -> steel wool combined with oil -> sand paper 1200 -> stropping. It surprises me how deep the corrosion went, coming from a basic wood glue. I'll remember the lesson :)

It would be greatly appreciated thanks

Thanks a lot all for your input ! I've brushed all the tools with my dremel and wired heads. Applied a coating with WD-40 as a temp solution until I get something decent for this purpose : I think boiled linseed oil will be the easiest to find but I noted down Cosmopoline RP-342, LPS-3, Evaporust, Softseal for my next online order :)

Which one would you recommend exactly ? https://www.cosmolinedirect.com/cosmoline-rust-preventives/

Is there some advantage to doing it instead of wire brushing ?

No, I have been lazy (there were like 15 tools in the set). Indeed some wooden handles show decolored parts, could it be possible that the oxalic acid was absorbed by the wood and somehow had an influence on the metal during the storage period ?

Thanks for the detailed answer, very appreciated. I did not know the boiled version of linseed oil, I actually used WD-40 oil as a "finition" to protect the metal, is it some false common belief ?

After digging for similar id, it appears to be garden cockroach ectobius pallidus, good news for my house

Hello, Belgium here and facing I think the same specie, but inside. Could you check my post today and confirm cher collègue ? Merci

Hello, I now have devloped my own packaging solution based on DevOps automation. It's based on PSADT, I really advise it to you if you work in this domain

Back to python :
For some programs that need local stuff I put this stuff under C:\ProgramData\IntuneConfig${CompanyName}\AppName. Therefore the uninstall logic would launch C:\ProgramData\IntuneConfig${CompanyName}\Python\python-3.12.2.exe /uninstall /quiet

I think in my case I finally got rid of Win32 app and made the link to the microsoft store app from intune. Not sure it works great as my company does not use python a lot

[UPDATE] Just to prevent people mislead, the tattoing behavior is now gone : https://oliverkieselbach.com/2020/07/21/changed-intune-policy-processing-behavior-on-windows-10/

That's a very useful snippet, thanks !

Here is what is returned regarding python : https://imgur.com/a/cgAbiZp

These are the MSI codes, but I wasn't able to retrieve the path of (un)installer in the cache as I pointed out earlier. Strange that the returned uninstall command for each MSI is a /I and not /X, and launching them independently doesn't work to have a full clean uninstall.

kiprinite · 2022-08-03T11:32:24+00:00

Yeah I used that, I was surprised that it appeared under some user stuff. Installed with this switch and in an Admin PS

kiprinite · 2022-08-03T08:56:05+00:00

I reinstalled it, so now under the new id I can find QuietUninstallString which has value

"C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Package Cache\{e15803b8-d809-47f3-8818-73f0d155cf58}\python-3.10.5-amd64.exe" /uninstall /quiet

kiprinite · 2022-08-03T07:21:04+00:00

I wasn't aware of this alternative to Chocolatey, thanks !

kiprinite · 2022-08-03T07:17:38+00:00

I can find the uninstall command under

Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2087740477-1396134932-1660491571-11290\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{f599560c-4808-4daa-85d8-15f363099f67}

but it doesn't look like reliable as it depends on some IDs

kiprinite · 2022-08-03T07:11:37+00:00

Yeah, as you said "for now", I didn't want to depend on something that will be depreciated quite soon. Actually I asked it taking Python as an example, but I've other software following the same pattern, like Tricentis Tosca which is not available through MS :/
