Broken Admin Account

Text I type is green, computer replies are purple. I had a weird issue this morning. A teacher brought in her school Mac. She was unable to authorize the computer to allow screen sharing in Zoom. Everything in our MDM was set properly. Standard users were allowed to make their own decisions for screen capture1. I clicked on the lock icon to authenticate there. It wouldn’t accept my credentials as the admin user. A bit about our workflow. Device in Apple School Manager and assigned to our MDM (Mosyle) Computer turns on and goes through Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) and hands off to Mosyle Authenticate to Mosyle via Google Mosyle… Read More »Broken Admin Account

Hosting Munki in an S3 bucket from Wasabi

Why I’m writing this I wasn’t originally planning to write a blog post about this. I am not on the bleeding edge and others have done it, but I hit some roadblocks along the way and I couldn’t find good answers. In addition, Orlando asked me in #toronto on MacAdmins Slack if I was going to, and how can I say no? Why I did it During the pandemic I found that it was a bit painful to get a new Mac up and ready to go out of the box for our teachers at home. While I’m hoping that we will be spending all of the 2021-2022 school year… Read More »Hosting Munki in an S3 bucket from Wasabi

Recognitions

A few days ago, Anthony Reimer posted to his blog about Recognition, Retirement, and Remembrance. I suggest you give it a read. I don’t have much to say about Retirement and Remembrance, but I do feel I have a lot to say about recognition. While we don’t have any formal place to acknowledge recognition, I feel I can do so here. First off, I should thank: Anthony Reimer I’ve gotten to know Anthony over the past few years. My last trip to MacAdmins we got to spend some time together in person and chat about everything and anything. He’s very knowledgable and extremely supportive of the community. While he’s not… Read More »Recognitions

Doctor Who Story 296 – Revolution of the Daleks

God, is my memory so bad that I barely remember “Resolution” which I watched 8 days ago? That was quite the deep swig of burning hot tea. You can even see the steam rising from the thermos. Captain Jack is in the opening titles. Good for him. Doctor Who needs to stop pretending humans are so dumb they never remember Daleks. Especially someone in government. Ahh, the Doctor in jail due to the Jadoon. Poor Ood in jail. That’s a lot of ticks. The Doctor has been there a while. I like the look of this TARDIS. At least someone remembers what a Dalek is. Where are the rest of… Read More »Doctor Who Story 296 – Revolution of the Daleks

Doctor Who Story xx – Farewell, Sarah Jane & Daleks!

Farewell, Sarah Jane Oh, this is a story! It’s about Sarah Jane, not Elisabeth. Apparently every companion came to her service. Haha! Random tricker plot as a side note. This is nicer than I expected. Ace! Clive’s grown up! Aww, Luke has a picture of him with him mum framed. They keep saying him about the Doctor, she’s a she. The Archive of Islos Well, the animation is shit, and it looks more like Star Wars than Doctor Who. Why does that space Dalek have a hullahoop around it? Do you wish to apply for a membership card? Robot to Dalek So far only Daleks and Robots have spoken, and… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – Farewell, Sarah Jane & Daleks!

Doctor Who Story 295 – Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children

Ascension of the Cybermen Oh. That was good. The opening credits inside the eye of the decapitated Cyberman. Bosh! This might be the most visceral war we’ve ever seen in Doctor Who. It’s the story of a collaborator.  This might be the first time the Cybermen seemed capable of harm.  Graham being proud of saving these humans is great.  Vent the atmosphere, Yas! The Master!!! The Timeless Children They killed one of the last humans.  Is that a stargate at the top of the stairs? Don’t make me cry Graham!!! Yas is awesome and the humans are totally better than the Doctor.  So many child actors are now canonically the… Read More »Doctor Who Story 295 – Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children

Doctor Who Story 293 – Can You Hear Me?

“I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD…” Doc’s been getting a bit squirmy, running off to do personal stuff and leaving the companions behind. If they’re your best friends, maybe tell them about yourself. That’s what friends do.

Doctor Who Story 292 – Praxeus

If I continue two a day, I’ll be done my Doctor Who rewatch at the end of the week. Oh, I remember this episode. It was one of the environmental ones that were hitting the audience over the head with a baguette. Did she just say a talking cat in Ontario? Is it Moki? This episode is boring. Running on sand is the worst. The Doctor should know not to park there.

Doctor Who Story 291 – Fugitive of the Judoon

I don’t love the Judoon, though I do quite their first appearance. Well, something’s going to go wrong with this couple. And enter the Doctor and friends. Creepy bartender creeping. Oh yeah, Captain Jack! I like him thinking that Graham is the Doctor. Jack being giddy when he finds out the Doctor is a woman is great. Three of you? I had a dream about this once. Captain Jack about the the Doctor’s companions I’m bored by the A story. It’s okay, but all the stories are a bit meh, and one is fun with Captain Jack. Oh, I forgot that she’s the Doctor. Ahh, rewriting the entire Doctor Who… Read More »Doctor Who Story 291 – Fugitive of the Judoon
