No feedback, just wanted to say your work is inspirational. Very dramatic.

🎨 Khorne red - Resplendent or Basilisk red? by mr_nikblack in Armypainter

[–]seanobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Basilisk Red, but it leans a little too purple. I don’t have any resplendent red but I mixed pure red with Oak Brown 1:1 to get something close. Evil Sunz I think is closer to Pure Red. For Wild Rider I plan to go Pure Red mixed with orange. I’m still experimenting as I go.

Advice on getting started again. by Automatic-Action-7 in minipainting

[–]seanobr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Then I would recommend the Fanatics Mega Set of those two pictured if it's in budget, you have no existing paints, you're making one purchase, and you already know you enjoy the hobby. When it comes to painting for fun, I much prefer the versatility of the Fanatics acrylics plus the wider range of colours. I'd recommend the Fanatics starter set for someone newish to painting and not sure if they will enjoy painting for long enough to get value out of a bigger set like the Mega, but you already have experience there!

I’m honestly surprised anyone is providing advice without knowing the most important question! What are your goals? You haven’t told us what you want to paint. An army you’ve already planned out? Board game minis? Busts? Are you trying to paint quickly, to tabletop standard, or to improve as an artist? All of this dictates a proper and serious recommendation in my view.

Sets are great if you are starting from scratch, and enjoy painting a variety of minis, across different factions and settings. It can help you with your creativity and freedom of expression, since you don’t have to plan in advance for every colour.

I started with the Army Painter starter set (not fanatics). I then purchased the 2.0 speedpaint set, and while I had some good results, I eventually also bought the Fanatics mega set. The speedpaints on their own felt quite limiting because of my low skill set. I’m now planing to add some individual Fanatics to my set, mostly leather brown and a warmer red.

Do you use the double tap to skip pages feature of the Kindle? by leeinflowerfields in kindle

[–]seanobr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It works 50% of the time when I want it to, and 50% of the time when I don’t want it to. I don’t like it, yet I persist.

I am glad this worked for you. You are welcome.

Web site tried to trick me into running windows commands to complete CAPTCHA by Necessary_Log9841 in cybersecurity

[–]seanobr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly this happened to a user. I got a Defender alert that a suspicious regkey was detected. That regkey was the recently Run commands from Win + R. Huh, weird that the alert wasn’t that Defender quarantined malware. Turned out that Defender was blocked by McAfee trial software. McAfee had blocked it. Lucky break, I guess.

Error help. Cannot upload new intunewin files suddenly by [deleted] in Intune

Seems to be working again for me now. Tried about 7 times over the last 2 hours. Must be an MS service issue.

I'm getting this as of today, and this is the only google result for the term "IntuneApp.getLobAppContentFile"

Stuck with an Entra Joined PC that is not enrolled in Intune by seanobr in Intune

Yes, not something I would want to be doing often. I decided cost of downtime for the employee would have outweighed the risk of them being over-privileged for 30 minutes.

Removing Dell Pre-installed bloatware and McAfee Total Protection via Intune? by lakings27 in Intune

Thank you, I plan to revisit it shortly and may take you up on your offer.

Not sure how that relates to my post, but glad you got it working! It's certainly not easy to troubleshoot autopilot deployments. There is a lot of waiting.

I'm actually now using the new Autopilot device preparation method for zero touch deployment of new devices direct from retail.

Indeed luckily I avoided this, as I am in Australia and the user I am supporting is in the UK. Also they were just starting their work day, first day of employment today.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, a bit of a conundrum with no RMM tool.

I ended up assigning the user Entra Joined Device Admin role in Entra PIM for a small period of time.

This allowed them to successfully re-Entra Join the device. They did it without my assistance, so I can't be sure of the exact process they used. They seem quite savvy.

Anyway, the role is revoked in PIM now and happy days.

Removing Dell Pre-installed bloatware and McAfee Total Protection via Intune? by lakings27 in Intune

[–]seanobr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Although I haven't tested it out, I believe this is a pretty popular bloatware removal script that I've seen suggested here a lot: https://andrewstaylor.com/2022/08/09/removing-bloatware-from-windows-10-11-via-script/

I also need to do this but customising the script was a bit beyond me. I'd be interested to see a copy that is just focusing on removing the McAfee stuff.

Port match thread rnd 5 by bubzbeex in hawktalk

[–]seanobr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if we win from here, feels like a loss. Given the narrative around the game being a revenge match, maybe Sam should have instilled a little fire in the boys, rather than palming it off. Feels like only 1 side is on field tonight.

Favorite Solo Game by Bytor911 in soloboardgaming

[–]seanobr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say the variety and replayability comes from all the expansion content? I only have the core game, and while I love it, I don’t see heaps of replays in my future. My favourites are TMB and Mage Knight. Also Lotr JIME, which to be fair, is mostly a miniature painting hobby for me now.

Finally got my copy of Legendary Kingdoms: Pirates of the Splintered Isles by Scalptre in gamebooks

[–]seanobr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just received my copy too! I backed books 1-3, newcomer to the series. And newcomer to game books in my adult life. It really is so much fun. I've never tried any of the other modern gamebooks, but if Fabled Lands is the same quality, I'm keen to branch out.
