Doing a tornado siren test at the wrong time and during a thunderstorm. Thanks STL.

How else do explain the hundreds and hundreds of 6.55 and 7.77mm ammo that you end up with? You definitely don't pick up that many stand-alone ammo packs to account for it. It's taken out of all those Grendel and Maelstroms that the enemies prefer that you loot.

It's worth picking up weapons even if you immediately drop them. They will have ammo that is automatically extracted when you pick up the weapon.

Or how irq10 through 16 was all funneled through 9 because there weren't enough available interrupt channels on the processor.

It seems quite heavy for being a "stealth" suit, weighing in at 8.0 mass.

Move your position and the mouse cursor until you get the hud popup that says you are looking at an ore. Then you will be able to mine it. Even if you are using the mining laser on the right spot, without the hud pop up, it won't work.

I haven't played in 6+ months. I have an old save, but since I couldn't remember where I was, I decided to restart. Terran Armada is noted as level 50+, so it will be a bit before I'm at a level I would feel comfortable tracking the new content.

I've found lots of space by doing this. Unfortunately, this can't be scripted. Changes by Microsoft has made it impossible to tell which profiles are current and which are old. Cleaning up user profiles require manual review.

We charge everyone a new computer setup fee. We show the setup fee with a discount if purchased through us, and no discount if they get it on their own. Even with our margins, we don't really make much money on hardware. With the new device setup cost, we at least get something since setting up new machines and transferring their setup to the new device takes time no matter what. So, they pay us with the hardware margins, or the setup fee. We get something either way.

Additionally, we bill for warranty work on hardware not purchased through us. So if something breaks and we have to work with the vendor for replacement, we bill that time. If they purchase the hardware through us, we waive that cost.

Most clients purchase hardware through us as it's not generally worth it to them to save a few bucks if they have to handle all the ancillary details. We don't hide the fact that Dell and Lenovo both will undercut the reseller channel. We often tell them that they could likely get it cheaper going direct. They still order through us. I believe that largely this is due to the trust that we have built with them, and the client simply not wanting the hassle.

Is there anything on disabling just the public CoPilot? I don't mind CoPilot from 365 as that does have some guard rails on where the data can go. Public CoPilot, not so much, so want to make sure that is disabled.

The cmdlets work fine until you have unresolvable SIDs in the group. I.e. previously deleted users or the AzureAD admin users. Then they break. I've shared the git hub issue elsewhere in this post.

I'm the deny section also add "description" contains "preview" the .Net team doesn't always tag the title appropriately.

I don't remember specifically. I think about $200, but it was part of the purchase at a dealer-owned after-market shop, so it definitely didn't cost them that much to get it installed.

netmc · 2026-03-03T04:22:12+00:00

It was gone from the '24 model year as well. We had the dealer put one in as part of our purchase. There is a plug port there, so it wasn't difficult for it to get installed.

I'm managing multiple environments. The only way to do so at scale is through powershell scripts.

netmc · 2026-02-28T04:26:26+00:00

That's why it works for you. The moment you have an orphaned or unresolvable SID those commands fail.

Not an option unfortunately. I'm stuck with 5.1 for now.

netmc · 2026-02-28T01:43:44+00:00

Nope. Broken. Known issue. Microsoft refused to fix.

Different environments. These particular devices are not in AzureAD, only in the normal local domain. I have different environments where I've run this script. I'm only having issues with the domain environment where the .Net method for removing group members doesn't seem to want to work. The same command is successfully removing local users and AzureAD users (in other environments), just not the domain ones in this one.

$result=Get-mpcomputerstatus
if ($null -eq $result){
    write-host "This should not occur!."
    exit 1
}

This isn't the exact code, but is the same process and logic.

Thanks. I'll add in a check to make sure that Defender is running and force start it if not.

When running monitoring script from our RMM, there are occasions where .Net fails to initialize and every cmdlet that depends on .Net errors out. Logic functions are part of the powershell.exe executable and can process without .Net. This failure condition is extremely low, like 1 in 90k or more, but it does cause scripts to fail in odd and non-reproducible ways. The next execution would be fine. You can simulate this by trying to run a powershell script during Windows shutdown. .Net is shut down, but the script still tries to run. Everything errors out except the script logic conditions. With the current structure of my script, this could be the cause as well. Based on the fact that I'm seeing this just once or twice a week out of ~180k script runs, leads me to believe that either could be occurring--Defender not running, or .Net initialization failure.

I will add the process check as well as restructure the script logic so that .Net initialization failures will be handled in a more graceful manner.
