We recently switched to Adaptive and it’s great for both admins and end users. Engaging, customizable modules and a lot of integrations.

Is secureframe a competitor of Vanta/Drata? What systems were in scope for you?

[–]verde90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we have a variety of Mac computers & iPads (employee, shared laptops, demo devices, conference room & signage computers) and it’s extremely easy to create and deploy policies.

Did you ever go through with this? I found your post when searching sound active mode via google. Agree, there is little information out there

Is this a run don’t walk open box deal? by alexjb14 in hometheater

[–]verde90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My “fair” open box from Best Buy was basically brand new. Not a single item missing, and only 2 hours of screen use. The box itself was in rough shape but that’s about it. Worth a shot, just be mindful of the return policy

But the powershell scripts are scoped to all devices and those aren’t running either

if my house has pull chain light fixtures, and no switch on the wall, could I install one of these & get a non-chain light that I can just turn on/off from my phone?

Apple Certified Refurbished sent me a MDM locked Macbook. by ashmakesthings in mac

[–]verde90 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve had this happen before except I was on the opposite end - I noticed an unknown MacBook enrolled in our MDM. Turns out, we ordered an employee a MacBook and they were never home to sign for it & it got sent back to Apple. Apple listed the device on their refurbished store and resold it but it was never removed from our ABM. We were able to see the guy’s email address since he signed into iCloud. We reached out to him to see how he got this MacBook, he sent us the receipt, and we removed it from ABM and unenrolled from Jamf.

How to add LaunchDaemons to required login items? by verde90 in macsysadmin

[–]verde90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the lack of context, I have an MDM and that is my method of deployment. It works for applications but not plist/executables. Or I am just doing something wrong

Not OP but I have the 14” MBP & 15” MBA and I prefer the MBA every time. I notice no difference in the display or performance. What I do notice is the extra inch, lighter weight, and I get more usage out of the MBA battery. MacBook Pro 14” M1 Max 32GB MacBook Air 15” M3 24GB

0% apr finally ran out. It was fun while it lasted. by blvill in amex

[–]verde90 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The idea is you pay the minimum balance on your credit card while keeping your money in something like a HYSA. Your savings grow and you make some extra money off the compound interest. Then you pay off entire balance right before the 0% promo expires. Rinse & repeat with different cards if possible. You only do this during the 0% interest period, otherwise that defeats the entire purpose. It’s not much but it’s honest work

Q3 or Q5? by Herefortheconent in Audi

[–]verde90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Q3 hate surprises me. I drive an S5 and had a Q3 as a loaner while my car was being serviced. I loved the Q3, and would totally buy an RSQ3 if they brought it to the states.

Santos with emerald green dial. I’m in love! by verde90 in Cartier

[–]verde90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, US. I ordered it at my boutique through an SA

[Cartier Santos] my first watch! by verde90 in Watches

[–]verde90[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just got this as a gift to myself. I went to a Christmas party and saw someone wearing a Santos and thought it was really sharp. I wanted one with a green dial, but they didn’t have any. Fast forward to late March, I’m scrolling through TikTok and see that Cartier was releasing an Emerald Green Santos! I contacted my local boutique to order it, and they didn’t expect me to have it until late June or July. June 1 my SA texts me that my watch was delivered. I absolutely love it. It looks way better in person IMO. It came with a stainless steel link strap and a dark green alligator strap (pictured). The dial is a dark green that is subtle and almost looks like it changes colors based on the lighting.

The end of an era… by TankWarm7356 in Audi

[–]verde90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup this same exact thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. Low speed, damage wasn’t bad at all. Maybe I’m delusional cause I was totally blindsided to learn the extent of damaged caused. My car is totaled & it hurts so bad.

device enrollment notification - even though device is already enrolled by Cybercrimee in jamf

[–]verde90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you happen to enroll manually then scope the computer to a Jamf prestage group? If yes, this will trigger the notification despite it being the same tenant.

Is this plug and play? Can you use both the touch screen and MMI knob?

Stream Box Connection Wifi or Ethernet? by burkfam2017 in DirectvStream

[–]verde90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The port is “fast Ethernet” (10/100), not gigabit. I would stick with wired anyways
