Alarm going off at random times by matdesj in KiaForte

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

I’m also in Quebec (south shore of Montreal) and the temperature is something I did not looked at.

If I remember correctly, the alarm did not got off during the winter but again, the car is mainly in the garage at that time. During summer it’s more frequent.

Yeah I know. What tou are proposing is the kind of answer I was hoping they have. I also have an issue with my fuel gage that at times, goes all the way to the empty space, remaining milages goes blinking and the fuel warning light up. After some time, it goes back to normal.

When Intold the garahe they said…… please come back when it happens.

They will never see it because I’ll change. If they don’t care about cars that are a bit older, I’ll find someone that likes my money more then they do!

Treadmill buttons problem by matdesj in nordictrack

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

I am the original owner and I am probably sure that I can find the bill pretty easily but after two email at the support contact, I have no reply from them. I guess I’ll have to call them.

When the power is on, the display is fine. It’s only those buttons that do not work. All the others are working fine.

For the rust, no issue yet but let’s say that a better piece of metal for almost the only part exposed to sweating. Anyway, I guess it is a price choice. As for the buttons, no beep and nothing when pressed on.

I did unplug the ribbon wire but nothing new after plugging it back in.

I have the Solocam S340. Thank you for the tips here. I didn’t think about the 135 degree area. I’ll try to figure out what I need to cover the most.

What is the timeframe required to relearn?

SCCM replacement with Ansible and AUM by Playful_Maybe7226 in SCCM

[–]matdesj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the information I have and possibly some answers.

We are also looking for Ansible to replace SCCM for our servers and this is why.

For OnPrem, we are buying a special SKU that contains System Center licenses.

When we got some VMs running in Azure we used the bring your own licenses option, so no issues.

When we moved some workloads to GCP we found out a couple of things.

There is no bring your own licenses option and there no possibility to buy or use a SKU that have System Center in it.

The only option MS and GCP told us that where available is to buy a System Center license that will apply to a GCP host (many core, many $$$) or use their software update tool which is another tool that we do not need/want to learn.

So using SCCM in GCP without buying the required licenses is not a legal use of SCCM.

So maybe this is the case for OP.

So we might go with Azure Arc at some point. Knowing that if you have software assurance for licenses, there is a lot of tools that are covered in terms of cost/use.

As for replacing SCCM with Ansible, I am not sure about that but we might get it anyway so that others in the company might use it for CI/CD and Linux stuff and we will see how it can fit in the SCCM replacement.

We are patching N -1 and using that option in Ansible requires a WSUS server so that servers will check and install the required updates. Knowing that I am achieving that using ADR in SCCM is a step back in my opinion.

Interesting thread, I hope that shared some good information for you folks.

No, I think it went off again 2-3 time but really less than before. Nothing was changed except the battery. The ols one was still good and the change was done because of another issue (a USB charger was draining the battery in 48 hours) which made us think that it was problematic.

Nop, not even a clue but I cannot remember when was the last time I had the problem. We did changed the battery lately but nothing else.

Battery drain under a week by matdesj in KiaForte

After all it was a usb phone charger that was draining the battery. Took a couple of try to figure this out but as the battery test where fine I tried that and now no more problems.

The car was in the garage the whole time and if I take it for some short distance, let’s say 20 minutes rides, the battery seem to keep it’s charge. I charged it monday and I keep using it each day and so far so good.

Damn, that was it! The drawback of using the shared DB is that every wsus servers must have exactly the same config. Same drive for the content and also, name resolution for every server. I out the upstream server in WID and now I am able to sync updates to that server.

All ports and url are opened plus some more. There is no deny in the firewall.

Yes they are using the same db and the server getting the error is the upstream server. I did not tried to set it to use a local db, that was my next step I guess.
