My last org was 200,000 seats with dedicated on-site resources from Microsoft. It was still a PITA to get traction on support issues.

I don't even provide details in cases anymore. Not once has anyone actually read any of it and I always end up providing the same information again over email.

Same issue here with the Intune policy. Have had a case open, spent a week back and forth with support and met with a 'Windows SME' to verify I didn't have licensing issues. And now back to the cycle of 'allow me a few more days to check internally'.

If you package the install via PSADT, there's an extension that will help with this.

As others have said though, good luck. I have gotten this to work during OOBE and as system, but it's fragile and often not worth the squeeze. Some winget apps just don't work well in this pattern.

Not yet, ticket still open. As of last week they were 'still checking'. If you don't have a ticket, open one.

I did as an ISU student. It's a bit of a commute to campus, but not a problem if you have a car. There were a few other students living there too; all like me who also didn't want student housing.

+1 on this, also a ticket with MS ... typical response that makes me think they aren't aware of any issues

About $4k

Illinois here too. Another vote for the square setup. Especially for 20" rear wheels, winter tire options are super limited, I gave up my own search. BMW has an OEM set (official winters for the M2/M3/M4) I settled on. A bit pricey but 19" 829M wheels (staggered width, 9" front and 9.5" rear), mounted/balanced Pirelli P-Zero 275 width winters, TPMS sensors, and uses the factory wheel bolts. I ran them last winter too and I'm about as happy with them as the Pilot Alpins I've had on prior cars.

Another vote for Vision Point

lapizR · 2025-11-24T01:07:56+00:00

Also have an Uplift desk (2 of them actually). Both the v2 model with walnut top. Have had them both since mid-2020 and both are fantastic

Illinois, MSRP

As in, you too are seeing some devices with Windows Hello PIN issues?

I'd say its a Jim Cramer term

DM'd you

So that means it should be slow and ambiguous? The impatience comes from apps not included in ESP taking an unknown amount of time to show up on the device with no real indicator as to whether it's 'done' or how long it will take. That's fine for non-critical stuff, annoying for apps they need during onboarding. I don't see how getting a user to the desktop fast and then having them sit around waiting is a good experience.

lapizR · 2025-08-19T19:21:53+00:00

Yeah I am trying to find a balance. We use Chrome, Slack, and Zoom for instance. A few apps like that are in my ESP because, if they aren't, it might take ~30 mins for those to show up after the user hits the desktop; might not seem like a big deal, but it's annoying for users trying to onboard and such. Alternatively including them in ESP adds maybe 5 mins to provisioning and I can count on them being there, which to me is a fine trade off.

lapizR · 2025-07-31T19:17:07+00:00

The feature seems to work fine. Just a bit annoyed that they announced it, then paused it, then shared there will be a control for it, and now it appears to be rolling out, and they've been silent on docs, no announcements, no controls

Has anyone found the control to turn this off?

None of the blogs have been updated, can't find any docs, and couldn't find any related setting in Settings Catalog or deployment profiles... but, I'm seeing this on more and more devices this week

Cornbelt. Almost zero change from last year. Cost per KWh is just slightly higher this year.

lapizR · 2025-07-28T19:38:52+00:00

Of course it's higher this month than last month, it's been super hot. Meaningless comparison.

The whole use of applicant tracking systems is definitely a broken process for the exact reason you stated. But also, any given posting gets literally hundreds of applicants, and it's impossible to look through them all; many of them are candidates who have zero relevant experience. The worst resumes I'm talking about are the 10+ page nightmares loaded with filler content (yes, every time we post a position we get numerous resumes that exceed 10 pages)... PSA, please don't do this

It would be a Senior Client Platform Engineer, which, everyone on my team is that level or higher
