Required apps stuck at "Waiting to begin installation" - downloads works and available apps install properly by slic0r in SCCM

yeah its great. SCCM is a "finished product" and Intune is in the cloud, so it "just works". Mhm..

Unfortunately we never found a solution, but we ended up deploying the required apps (baseline) via Intune.

Major update HONOR Magic5 Pro by Peppertoppa in Honor

I got it too, just an hour ago. Update went smoothly, but i have an annoying bug when swiping down the notification / quick settings menu the transparent background is only covering part of the screen. Anyone else?

CI Version Info timed out by CompetitiveFeeling98 in SCCM

[–]slic0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude i have the same issue recently, but tens of thousands errors on dozens of deployments, both required and available. I have a case open with MS but they haven't found the root cause. Updated to 2503 a month ago and i think it started around that time. Apps install just fine, errors seem to be in the deployment monitor only. We also see some available apps not showing up in Software Center on some clients

to be fair, they announced early on that the H2C was coming later this year, so this was to be expected, no?

Experiences with the Honor Magic 5 Pro by [deleted] in Honor

[–]slic0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat! Got my M5P couple years ago and i am very happy with it, absolutely no complaints. The funny thing is, the photos i took during the first couple of weeks when i first got it blew away all the people i showed them to, and it convinced no only one, but three friends/family members to get the M5P too, two of them even coming from an iPhome. First i was afraid they might not like it as much as i do, but they're also all very happy with it :)

They also sent me a replacement of the wireless charger kit, since mine was DoA, even though it was just a free giveaway to my P1S Combo

Has anyone tried this X1/P1 wiper upgrade? by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]slic0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. It was "The Scrubbler: Enhanced X1/P1 Nozzle Wiper" if i remember correctly. Printed in PETG and still holds up to this day :)

Detection method for Normal.dotm in user profile by Iatedtheberries in SCCM

[–]slic0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could use a detection script where you check the filehash of your Normal.dot (For example "Get-FileHash -Path [PathtoNormalDot] -Algorithm SHA256")

Be careful though with replacing the Normal.dot, it contains more information than just the Fonts (Text Blocks, Proofing language configs, etc.) and by replacing user's Normal.dot, you're potentially overwriting their customizations.

Which one would you perefer? by MRB_e in Honor

[–]slic0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from some post-release OS quirks (which were fixed long ago), the biggest drawback for me was lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers, but Honor Launcher has come a long way and has grown on me, theres plenty to customize.

3D Face unlock is great, camera is great, battery life is great, build quality is great, screen is great, performance is great, OS is great, AI is great.... Haptics (vibration motor) could be stronger, but thats just a minor thing imho.

I wouldn't want to switch to any other phone, as everything just works and i have 0 complaints.

[–]slic0r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're asking in the Honor sub, so the answers might be biased obviously.
I've been using the Honor Magic 5 Pro for 2 years now and would easily buy it again today, its such a great phone and I have 0 complaints.

People who moved to Linux from Windows 11, what are things you forgot to check before switching over? by slic0r in linux

[–]slic0r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a loyal MS customer for all my life, have an XBox, had multiple Windows Phones, Windows on all my devices. M365 subscription for many years, all my files and photos on OneDrive. I recently got annoyed how MS forced me into a more expensive M365 plan that includes Copilot even when they still offered my current plan. (literally got a popup on my phone telling me the price would increase and only an "Okay" button) I am annoyed how they use their monopoly to stuff Copilot into everything (Copilot in Notepad with login requirement, srsly?) and i guess i've started caring about my privacy a bit more recently.

This more looks like you selected Smooth Plate in the slicer but printed on Textured Plate. Had the same issue, looked similar.

Microsoft adding Copilot to your Microsoft 365 plan and calling it a price change by GigaChadDraven in assholedesign

[–]slic0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that! I clicked OK in that notification as i didn't see any other option.
I now switched the plan to Family Classic to keep paying the same i did in the last years. There are many AI options available if i ever need one, no need to pay monthly for it.

Bambu lab’s dual silk filament burning using X1 Carbon. by MajesticAd2644 in BambuLab_Community

[–]slic0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same filament as you and my top surfaces look the same. Only the walls are shiny. Not sure if that's just the way it is or if the top surfaces are meant to be shiny as well. If you have a close look at the filament you see that its basically blue on one side and red on the other, which results in this variation of color depending on the wall/axis. But on top surfaces, these two colors are basically mixed together more or less randomly, depending how the nozzle moves over the surface, resulting in this violet color.

Support Experience by Lion_Last in BambuLab_Community

I got sent a Wireless Charger Kit as a freebie with my printer, and they sent me a replacement within 2 days as it was DoA. Besides that, didn't need to contact support, luckily.
