@Obsolesce said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC: @scottalanmiller said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC: RISC-V is seen as the future with more modern and more open design than ARM and zero security risks like ARM has. ARM is so risky, I'd never risk (pun intended) developing something new with it, only something old. Oh yeah, forgot about that! Still very low end devices, but moving up fast. I'm really excited to see the first SBCs and desktops built off of it.

It is likely obvious, but as I know that some people are searching for this information, creating administrative users in this way can be done very easily from remote command lines such as ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, MeshCentral, and so forth.

Worth noting that using rsync worked very well, but there were issues with the Outlook profile on the existing user workstation and the end result. Not a huge issue for us as everything is stored in O365, but worth being mindful of if your email was hosted locally. Also because of username convention changes, I had to set the ownership of the user profile to match the new shortened name.

@LilAng said in Copy / Paste from Excel on Mac to Outlook Web Access Creates Image Rather than Table: In Excel, use File > Save as web page, then attach the web page to your email message? Yeah, we found that process. That's a pretty huge "fail" process.

It's my device, if I want Joe from the mall kiosk to replace whatever in my device, that is my right to do, and I'd be the responsible person who risk the device being broken further or compromised with non-oem parts. On the other side of the conversation I understand Apple's reasoning for this and it's sounds like they simply want users to use OEM only parts, but they use this guise of "for security". Which also kind of irks me. . . Why do you call it a guise? If Apple doesn't make the interconnect APIs available, who knows what those knockoff people are making. I'm back to the point where the device should likely just hit you with a warning every 24 hours that you might have compromised shit installed - but I'm guessing that Scott and others will be against that level of frequency. I'm against a one time notice of there being a perceived security issue in the device. I'm not against a notification -- but every 24 hours seems excessive. Maybe a 30 second notification every reboot -- something that doesn't require any action other than waiting the 30 seconds. But this is just an "you may have been" there is no proof that something has been compromised. Just the possibility because a non approved person or company has worked on property you own. I think any notification that would force you to wait, period would be overly intrusive. Right, you MAY have been compromised with Apple's own stuff, too. But they would "conveniently" not show a warning. Therefore the warning would have nothing to do with risk, and everything to do with FUD.

Now I'm getting Unexpected end of File FML. . . what changed!

Well that sucks, have to purchase it on Mac. . .. Only $1.99 but still.

@Kelly said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: @scottalanmiller said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: @Kelly said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: We're using Jamf, and it is pretty decent. With recent changes to permissions in macOS, a solution like Jamf will be the only way you can actually control certain settings. Apple is no longer content with merely ignoring professional users, but is now actively trying to eliminate them. I think that that actually started long ago. 10.12.x is much worse that what came before. There are a significant portion of system level settings that you cannot touch even as root. Wow, that's just crazy.

@travisdh1 Basically.

@scottalanmiller said in Native Virtualization For macOS: Had no idea that Mac OSX had a native hypervisor framework built in. Hypervisor is available on Mac OSX from Yosemite. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/MacOSX/WhatsNewInOSX/Articles/MacOSX10_10.html Hypervisor (Hypervisor.framework). The Hypervisor framework allows virtualization vendors to build virtualization solutions on top of OS X without needing to deploy third-party kernel extensions (KEXTs). Included is a lightweight hypervisor that enables virtualization of the host CPUs.

@Kelly said in Docker for Mac and Windows public beta is out! No more VirtualBox!: I don't think Docker is going to eliminate VirtualBox, but it is going to make canned trials more the norm. Being able to download and launch a containerized trial version of software will make this so much easier. I agree, two different shoes to fill. Both have a useful place.

@DustinB3403 said: But do that with the above example would mean I'd have to indent all lines? Is that correct? Correct.

Personally I like crash plan too. This for my clients who wants to use s3, for windows I've used cloudberry and I love the software for the interface and options to connect to different things like S3, glacier etc. and glad that they released one for Mac as well.

@thecreativeone91 said: The Box has the PCIE Slots. You put it in there. and connect the mac Mini Via thunderbolt. It also means you can add more Nics, etc. Oh okay, interesting. Not bad then.

It me it seems the OS just gets out of the way more and lets me do what I want to do. With Android the OS kinda gets in the way of doing tasks more and doesn't let me just work without having to think about it. If that makes sense.

@scottalanmiller said: @thecreativeone91 said: @scottalanmiller its to clean up the mac junk files on a windows computer. If you copy any folders from a mac to PC or even a zip folder you will have them in it (they are hidden though, but take up space and mess with some programs). Gotcha, now I see what you are doing here Yeah, same. See, it wasn't just me for once.

Postgres has one as well http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/doku.php

Downloading mine now.

I am not going to take the time to read through the site rules as I do not even have an account, but I question if that can be done without the developers consent. That would still put it back on the developer and I will simply not support a developer that does it. same as I no longer support Sun/Java products if at all possible.

@JaredBusch said: This does not impact my email as our company is on Office 365, but I have a number of clients with SBS 2008 still. That runs Exchange 2007 and now I cannot check the admin account natively. Grrrr. Start really selling O365 to your customers. It benefits both them and you

I have seen some books for the Apple certifications, but they were always Apple books.

Handoff - moving stuff between OSX and iOS iCloud Drive Extensions - Widgets "reformed" Markup - for annotating images and PDFs AirDrop - exchange files with iOS easily The rest is pretty weak

@JaredBusch Mac and its features do have a consumer bent. Gotta consider I.T. pros being responsible for themselves and their own processes. Actually, surprised you did not mention doing the backups via cron/systemd/etc. Am a bit curious on the current performance comparison between Parallels v9 and VMware Fusion v6— http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-latest-virtualization-showdown-parallels-desktop-9-vs-vmware-fusion-6/ 'Tis one source, still want more being an I.T. skeptic & all that
