  • Thank you for the context.

    I honestly expected that to be exactly that, overly alternating (at least from a stand point of majority of users) passwords. I was just curious as the grievance felt very case specific.

    That's certainly a problem I thankfully do not encounter, our Mac users use their O365 logins just like our PC users. If they forget it, they don't need my help changing or checking it. I haven't encountered the wifi at login issue, though. That probably piqued my curiosity the most. Our Macs use web auth for login by default (with option to use locally cached password instead) and it requires an internet connection to work. If the mac's couldn't/didn't connect, most wouldn't be able to login. I could absolutely see this being an issue in a new place where no internet connection has been established before the issue, like a hotel or airport.

    They all have a JIC hidden local account too, though. If OPs MDM tools include this option, it could be helpful for the cited scenario(s)

  • Why not just block the pervasive communities or instances? I get pretty annoyed with the AI content too, but it feels so much easier/satisfying to block the comms and know I'll never see them again lol

  • I'm just curious here, but what are your Mac users doing to lock their accounts so often that this has become such a recurring pain point?

    I feel for you, ever since I got approval to move all our mac's to kandji for management, I have less issues reported from Mac users than windows users.

  • From the IT side, I personally hate that 80% of the random teams issues our users have, clearing the apps cache is the only solution. An average user shouldn't need to dig around in unfamiliar directories and clear out this cache to get teams working again. From my experience, most users won't do this bc they're afraid of causing more damage (imo a smart hesitation.)

    If the app can update itself can it not also refresh that cache more often? Can a button in settings not be given to users the flush cache and restart the app? (This can currently be done in Windows by going to Settings > Apps and resetting the app from the Installed Apps list, but there is no such option on Macs. It's an OS agnostic issue, we should have an OS agnostic solution.) There's got to be better ways to resolve these issues that all require the removal/refreshing of a folder's contents. I can only imagine how much of a nightmare this is to resolve within companies that don't have dedicated IT or tech savvy users to dig up these resolutions and fix the problem, especially given the often inadequate and outdated documentation Microsoft provides.

  • Terminus is nice and has a lot of platform options. Ive used on an old ipad in the past. If you have several machines, I highly recommend servercat. Works wonderfully on iphone, ipad, and Mac. It also has options to write and store commands to easily send out to any number of devices with a taps/clicks.

  • I don't see it either (at least plainly) but I have noticed in my feed that the only comm names displayed without their instance are local. All comms from other instances show their names and their instance. I could've sworn there was a setting for this, but I can't recall or find it now.

  • As said in another comment a bare metal Debian install likely wouldn't be very smooth, or you'd have to run it within Android. Alternatively, if you want to run Linux directly on the phone you could try postmarketOS https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_5T_(oneplus-dumpling)

    I can't help as much with the exposing outward (I'm a basic bitch and just use ddns to expose mine since I can't get a dedicated IP) but a separate vlan with rules to allow your primary vlan devices to see/talk to it, and block it to be able to see out of it's own VLAN, would definitely be recommended.

  • I think I just needed to reset it, I recall accidentally hitting No on the prompt after setting the PIN initially and not having a way to go back and choose Yes to unlock with the PIN. Reset the PIN and got to say Yes on that prompt this time

  • Honestly I'd say the worst part is the osk. They need to treat it a bit more like phosh does. It's sooooo far behind when compared to modern device osks. Sure there's some extensions to help it out, but they don't go far enough to make it decent on a tablet. And it feels incredibly clunky to use with gdm when signing in, where no extension can help it..
