@alexbuzzbee @tulpa @cinebox True. I mean, it's not entirely *wrong*, but it doesn't take into account technicians, to whom this information would be welcomed.

@alexbuzzbee Given NetBoot being a relic of the older Apple devices (ha, "older"), I would say that it's becoming more frequently true by the day.I don't even know if they have an established process for network booting the new Apple Silicon systems.

@alexbuzzbee I imagine they *have* to have something, even just internally. However, I'm not familiar enough with current macOS deployment to know one way or the other.Probably stapled to the back of JAMF or squirreled away on the firmware somewhere.

@alexbuzzbee Absolutely. We shouldn't forget the wrongs done by America. We should move forward, trying to repair those wrongs.

@alexbuzzbee I find that the name of the package is ironic, as in: They had the *audacity* to do this.No, I won't apologize for that joke.

@kev So long as you're not trying to do all of those at once, yeah. You'll be fine with 8.

PSTs. For when you want to lose those emails, but want to make it look like a corruption accident.

@alexbuzzbee I am painfully aware of this restriction. Many of my clients are heavy PST users with ✨ Important ✨ Emails and no reliable backup. We've already had hundreds of gigabytes of PSTs corrupt and with no way to reliably offload these... it's had some contention in the communications team.

@alexbuzzbee Considering there is only a half-assed attempt at traditional "policies"? I'm not shocked.PSTs are bad because it's a bad system of storing a large number of emails. A monolithic file with little to no tooling around repairing or recovering *some* of the files is just asking for bit-flipping. Even a standard zip file is more resilient than that.With the availability of online storage and Exchange being all online, why not just ingest them unless the users says otherwise?

@alexbuzzbee Push a script out to run this function: https://github.com/ndegruchy/collect-user/blob/main/collect-user.ps1#L118-L158It'll connect to Outlook and scan for PSTs. I mean, you could just scan the disk for them, too, I guess.

Using Starship.rs in PowerShell does at a slight lag to the prompt, but it also cleans up the PowerShell prompt a *lot*.

I wonder when Microsoft will replace the PowerShell ISE with VSCode, but not actually ever remove it. It'll sit there, in its Vista-era looking suit, getting used by the grey beards of the era. While all the younger kids will be using their Windows.js editors.

@alexbuzzbee lol. I wish I weren't so slow on the uptake, then. I could have been one of those famous tweets that heralded the swap over.Oh well.
