Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
If you’re wondering about the episode title, it actually comes from the pre-show. They added some extra content at the very end to relate it. (on the web site Chewy Indifference go to 2:24:12 or so)
At the beginning Leo discusses his unfortunate construction woes (0:03:40 or so), and that had me rooting for the title “I see stucco people” 
Laphroaig is the the “family” tipple. My grandfather, father and uncle all drank it and I really enjoy it. We used to drink the 18 year, but it has become too expensive. I currently have a 12, which is ok, and a Triple Wood, which is very nice - just double checked the prices, the Triple Wood has nearly doubled in price since I bought it (106€) and the 18 year is around 170€.
I once went to the pub with my brother and he offered to buy the next round, I asked for a Laphroaig, when he came back, I took a sip and said, “hey, that isn’t Laphroaig.” He was very surprised that I could tell the difference, he said they didn’t have Laphroaig and he bet I couldn’t tell him what I was actually drinking… Which was actually easy, it was a Glenmorangie! He was doubly gobsmacked at that!

Well, that’s annoying. 25H2 installed this week, and MS decided to change my default browser to Edge 
Well of course they just knew you would use more CoPilot if they Edge’ed you!

Are you trying to say that Microsoft is edging its userbase? 
Well, you know if you feel like you’re getting screwed sometimes… maybe you are! blush

I’m listening to Windows Weekly right now from the skyyyyy
Richard was talking about the joys of staying as a guest with friends, it’s really funny because on this vacation, I had to spend the last night in 2 days in a hotel because I was a very having a very hard time staying with a friend (she asked me to leave! (But it’s all good))
It was the final straw in confirmation: I’m built for hotels, not guest bedrooms
I work for a government org and they finally started allowing people to request MacBooks as their next machine. Microsoft should be a bit worried
Paul should’ve named the article “Thanks for all the fish”

I’ve had 3 users now ask for Apple Macs at work. For experienced users, it isn’t a problem, but for less experienced users it isn’t so good. One of the biggest problems with Macs for “normal” users is that many app updaters (Parallels, Brave, Affinity, 1Password, Discord) require the admin username and password, before they can be installed, which would be a pain for our admins to have to run around a fleet of Macs updating apps every few days - I am the IT Manager, so I do have an admin account, on top of the normal account I use, but nobody gets admin access with their main account and only admin get a secondary admin account… Although I guess we could install the apps for each user indivually…

Yes, we are experiencing something similar. I’m not an IT admin for the actually users (I’m a user) but I talk to the admins. they’re relying on InTune for most of the updates. and for things liker VS Code that self update, they’re just telling people not to update them manually and let InTune handle it on it’s own.
I do not have an admin account. My manager denied my request 
I don’t need one, I was just curious because on the Mac they have a really cool system for requesting temporary admin access

Yes, I am trying to push as much through the store and InTune as possible, but sometimes it is quicker/easier/only possible to install locally.
When we have people that need to install things outside of Intune, or need admin rights, we have a third party tool that we use that allows the user to request rights for a specific purpose, and an admin can allow/deny it. We put this in place before the Intune PIM was useful (originally, it just allowed it and logged it, but didn’t allow an admin to deny the request, now it does).

hahahahahahaha that is funny
At my last Company, every employee there had their own Macs - oh, wait, never mind…that was my 16 years at Apple until I retired

The other thing I didn’t mention is the network shares, ask users know them only by the done letters they have assigned for the shares.
That doesn’t work on the Mac, there are no drive letters and they have to manually contract to reach share. I don’t think any of them could do that, at least not without a lot of complaining.
If it was all M365 OneDriive and online services, it wouldn’t be a real problem.
