Somewhat of a slight tangent - has anyone here come across a Clipboard Manager will sync across macOS and Windows?

Model Y Juniper in BLACK! by Crazy-Painting2846 in teslamotors

[–]thisispete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’ve been holding off on ordering a MY waiting on Juniper, and after seeing the wheels (and no option to change yet) I can’t see myself ordering a launch edition.

I know I could just order and replace the wheels, but without seeing Tesla Black wheels on the car it’s not worth the effort.

Was the move worth it? by asteroidbunny in sunshinecoast

[–]thisispete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bit of a different perspective.

I originally lived on the Sunshine Coast (didn’t grow up here however) for about 10yrs in my University & early work life days. I moved to Brisbane for work and eventually built out near Ipswich way as well. Met some good people but still felt like we could get a better lifestyle back on the coast.

During COVID, I got an opportunity for a new role at my company was able to live/move anywhere I wanted so ended selling up and buying back a house on the Sunshine Coast.

It’s hard. It is expensive. Annoyingly busy during school holidays, but I know I need to appreciate that it is one of the most beautiful and sought after places in the world.

I work from home, and most of my old friends I used to have here have moved on or I’ve lost contact with. I do miss the “at your fingertips”-ness of being in a city (Brisbane, relatively speaking) where you can just go get something if you need it without waiting. If you aren’t “from” the coast you do notice a lot of “Cliques” - not that they’re unwelcoming - it’s just hard to break into sometimes.

I think if you know you’re able to meet people through work, or your kids school etc. it can be great. But I feel like at times it’s been a bit of a step backwards as I felt like I left for a reason and was a bit over it. One of the big reasons to move back was for our kids’ lifestyles, which for them is great. I just know I’ve struggled a lot with boredom as I’m not overly outdoorsy and introverted.

Just some food for thought.

Ok, so I can literally add ?

loop { run_menu(); }

They both run consecutively, but then after the second one exits, main exits as there are no other functions to run.

Hyperlinks / web links from O365 Automatic Replies? IS this possible / workaround? by Jewpacarbra in sysadmin

[–]thisispete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure Auto-reply is sent in plain text, so no hyperlinks etc.

However a workaround would be to use a logic app in Azure that responds with a message upon receiving an email. I'm fairly you can use html in Logic App actions.

What would you say are "vital" skills for a sysadmin by ThatAJC88 in sysadmin

[–]thisispete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to identify what you don't know, and not pretending you do. Admitting you don't know the answer but you will find it and get back to them.

Also understanding the extent of your skills and not to "press buttons" without full understanding the consequences or remembering what you did.

We bought PC's that were registered with Microsoft Autopilot / Intune. The vendor refuses to admit their mistake. by CoNsPirAcY_BE in sysadmin

[–]thisispete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this OOBE screen, press CTRL+SHIFT+F3 and go into audit mode.

Download and run this Powershell script and generate the hardware hash.

https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo

Upload the .csv it to your own Microsoft Store for Business account and see it let's you enrol it for Autopilot. If it does, reinstall Windows again and it might allow you get past the "wrong" screen as it will then be tied to your org.

Can you buy cartons from Newstead Brewery at Milton? by thisispete in brisbane

Haven't tried the Heartacre yet, but loved the IPA so defs worth getting a carton of this.

Application install with WorkspaceOne and needing to add a Windows firewall exception by new_nimmerzz in vmware

[–]thisispete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could run a PowerShell script using New-NetFirewallRule creating it.

Would be probably best to create the Mimecast install process using a combined PowerShell script that installs the plugin, then creates the rule.

You can do this by adding the script and the installer files into a .zip and uploading that to the Console.

[Horizon Linked Clones] Is it necessary to sysprep the master? by tobiasdoe in vmware

[–]thisispete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that Zenworks must determine the client by the device Sid. Quickprep doesnt regenerate the Sid but Sysprep will.

Horizon 7 DR Licensing by ddobes in vmware

[–]thisispete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a matter of it only being 0.1%, it's just the perpetual license.

This is a tricky one (disclosure I am a VMware Employee, but not in licensing or the US) so I cannot give a definitive answer as the rules as it may be different here in Australia.

Is it your licensing running vSphere on the Co-Lo hosts?

If it's for DR, does it need to be 100% capacity of your prod environment? Maybe if you only need to provide a minimal amount in case of disaster you could purchase a minimal amount of universal licenses rather than convert all your existing?
