Just started getting full-screen, End Of Support warnings from Microsoft, on the few legacy PCs here

@coliver from memory it allowed endpoint status display, along with connection when outside the corporate network for running commands and application management.

It was part of the subscription and didn't require any other additional setup - so was nice in theory.

@JaredBusch efibootmgr is clean?

@Pete-S I'm really hoping that the on-prem for "everybody" is implying scaling down to a very small size

If you scale it down, does it stop being Rack Scale, though?

I can imagine a pretty small rack

@scottalanmiller no updates required either, turn it on, it's ready

@scottalanmiller cherish that thing! But beware, here be dragons - in the form of Coleco's terrible engineering and the ticking timebomb of the internal components!

Where I am, they weren't popular and therefore not common. I was lucky enough to get a stack of cartridges (around a dozen) along with the console and "Turbo Unit" steering wheel controller. Poured time and money into refurbishing the console (along with a nice USB PSU, and a second PAL Console from the Nederlands).

@scottalanmiller there's a bit of a rabbit hole to tumble down on this. The topics Jessie posts tend to be Security and Open-Source oriented with interesting, but not limited to, views on the BMC and IPMI tech we regularly use. I've started reading through the back catalog posts of the other people involved to see if i can get a handle on what they're aiming at.

Currently loving playing old ColecoVision carts via my recently arrived CollectorVision Phoenix Video Game System (FPGA Console).

I've given up playing "fix-the-bad-ram/component-and-lifting-traces-with-barely-enough-technical-skill" game on the real Coleco hardware, not to mention keeping CRTs alive so I can try and use the end result.

If anyone follows Jessie Frazelle (@jessfraz) they may have seen a post regarding a venture she's involved in. It's a little scant on details, but I'll grab straight from the website

@wrx7m wow - I was using PDQ Inventory and Deploy heavily at the last gig. I did have issues with the agent and had moved jobs before I really got a chance to see agent reliably function in the offsite endpoint scenario.

@Dashrender What version of Excel? Disabling Excel Graphics Hardware Acceleration on Excel 2013 through to 2019, can resolve display, stability and performance issues. (edited this for terrible grammar!)

This is interesting. I unfortunately don't have the deep understanding of everyone contributing to this topic, but i'm taking it onboard as best I can.

I'd really throw effort into learning Ansible (at cursory glance it made more sense to me than Salt), if I could use it the manner I think @scottalanmiller is describing. I'm currently using different tools to wrangle our small fleet of devices into some sort of order. This is mostly MDM suite(s) and exploiting the Windows 10 PC options - but no server config management tools utilised as such (I have only a few, so return on potential time invested in Ansible, is very minimal).

JumpCloud has command runners for Linux, Windows and Mac..... I've been using it for Chocolatey and Powershell stuff on PCs (on and off LAN). There's an agent installed on your endpoint obviously.

@scottalanmiller These are intended for Pi-hole use, so the extra horsepower isn't needed.... just craptacular timing ( compounded by the rpi3's sticker price dropping at the vendor :disappointed_face: )

I really need to read the news more....... I took delivery of 4 rpi3's last week :man_facepalming:

WoeUSB is the only convenient way I've been able to make bootable (UEFI) USB Windows medium. Usually purge all the partitions on the USB device prior, using Gnome Disks application.

I use Gnome Disks application - restore (or DD), for Linux

@black3dynamite actually just consuming some coffee while reading through the AppGet docs

@black3dynamite so it's appended the version at the time of manifest creation (even though the default Tag of "latest" would mean it pulls the latest version)?
