Thought so

Are you back at work?

In Ex Machina, the protagonist breaks in and hacks on a security system using Python, and magically does it using only 'import sys'

Yes, although I'm now physically going to an Apple Store, like an animal

I have some huge problems with that movie, especially the end.

s/animal/peasant

s/animal/consumer/g

Allister: Did you have a duti file?

s/animal/unwashed masses

I think any other ending would have worsened the movie

Reminds me a lot of the Cube movie

foigus: I'm point duti at one, yes

Something specific for 2016?

more like it barked at me about ones it felt were invalid in my image

so UTI ALL roles: com.apple.mail.email public.vcard public.contact com.apple.ical.ics

I'm not entirely sure if it's possible for duti to tell the difference...

and scheme com.microsoft.outlookmailto

just to say it barked at com.microsoft.outlook14.email-message, entourage, ics.event, com.microsoft.outlook14.icalendar, com.microsoft.entourage.icalendar, etc

Yeah, those are...

Should be outlook15 now

well crap... "9.1.1 (461)" is not greater than "9.1 (441)"

well the #1 thing I was gunning for is default mailto: links

if folks need it and tell me it's tehBroked I'll fix

hfike: unpossible

hfike: 9.1.1461 < 9.1441

I _think_ that's how Munki does it, dropping non-numerics

and "9.1.1f461" is not greater than "9.1f441"

again dropping the "f"

ugh

usb: why you no want to format this stupid USB disk?

welp...that camera raw update has issues then

gonna have to use a hash

eek

morning

That it is.

Unfortunately. :)

hfike: What's the CFBundleLongVersionString for that Camera RAW?

9.1 (441) is:

"9.1, \\U00a9 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated";

defaults read "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC/File Formats/Camera Raw.plugin/Contents/Info"

no long version created by makepkginfo

makepkginfo only pulls the sensible keys

You may be able to tell it to use a different key, even one it doesn't pull?

As long as you flesh it out in the pkginfo?

I just added the info.plist to that gist

<key>CFBundleLongVersionString</key>

<string>9.1, © 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated</string>

oh wait...

that is 941 still

anyone use device configuration for ipad management?

do you know if it support find my ipad?

support?

the way we have it setup, is a user checks out an ipad and it a fresh install

the user can then add their itunes account

and use the ipad like it is their own device

when they return it, it wipes all their info off and resets it basically to a fresh install

yup, it'll be activation locked to them unless you supervise it first

there we go: <key>CFBundleLongVersionString</key>

<string>9.1.1, © 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated</string>

right they are supervised

we have it setup where the user can do w/e they want with it, add their itunes accoutn etc...

but when we get them back we are able to wipe them

but the library is now asking if we can enable find my ipad

You want an MDM that supports geolocation.

but i think that options wont work since the user who checks it out has the ability to turn it on or off

in some cases, yes

CMGeorge yea we dont have anything like that

if you want the end user to be able to track/wipe, yes, find my i will work fine

right they want to be able to track them after checking them out

you just need to have them turn it off before returning, or you can put it in DFU mode when wiping

I believe the one built into Server does... if you want a free one that isn't Server, try Meraki.

no longer free, but

Meraki isn't free anymore?

nope

there are also tokens that you can generate to remove activation lock with MDM as well, but that requires forethought/an MDM

Oooh.... I must've missed that. Good thing I migrated off of it.

Ahh... free for up to 100 devices. Still good for a small scale deployment.

anyone know off the top of their head if launchd scans the LA/LD folders recursively?

scans?

But yeah, "find my iPad"/"find my iPhone" is really a service targeted at the end user, not really intended for the organization to try and track down the devices. MDM with geolocation is what you definitely want.

well loads things from

ie. can you move one into a Disabled folder within the folder

(i just can't be bothered to reboot)

uh launchctl unload?

-w makes it persistent

direct file manipulation considered harmful

agreed

launchctl is your friend

oh so -w and it won't try to reload on reboot

yessir

i feel dumb. i knew you could do the opposite for load so...bah.

thanks :)

pimpind: Also remember (and remind your library staff) that anything you use to try and find the devices is only going to be so-so if you don't have the iPads with cellular capability, as they'll depend on wi-fi along for geolocation, which is only marginally accurate (and useless if the device isn't on wi-fi).

no prob

Library staff often times have the mistaken impression that they can just turn on an app and locate a device down to a square foot location... it doesn't work that way. :)

Does anyone know if a USB Ethernet adapter will work for netbooting a Gen1 mabook Air?

What brand of USB->Ethernet

Apple brand.

Should

hfike: Thinking it still won't work since 9.12015 > 9.1.12015

Well im going to find out for sure in a few hours. just curious if anyone else had done it.

gen1? Like, with the flipdown door?

foigus yeah, comparing all the keys, doesn't look like there is anything useful

Aauuuggghh.... I hate this having to break myself of habits/learned behaviors in the transition from one Mac management system to another. (Moving from Munki to Casper.)

btw, looking to hire for my team if anyone's interested https://career4.successfactors.com/sfcareer/job...

we're moving from casper to munki ;)

what is the easies method to convert 9.1.1, © 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated to pkginfo happy text

i feel like munki can do it, but don't remember how. I've used it to on scripts before

'happy text', well put

hfike: Well, getting into nasty hacks...

You could overwrite what's in the plist

postinstall_script, but...that feels icky

Is this mainly for labs?

Places where you aren't combatting others updating?

foigus all over

i'm going to md5 it...i've already told people to not update themselves :)

hope they fix it in the next version

hfike: Is your issue just getting the 9.1.1 version out to clients?

yeah, since 9.1.1 isn't showing up as a newer update

as compared to 9.1

via munki

But those two updates install different .db files, so if your 9.1.1 update has 9.1.1 as its version, Munki should try to install that...

Because the nice folks at Adobe say "9.1 Copyright 2015", which I'm reasonably sure is viewed as 9.12015 by Munki

ah...yeah...i switched to the installs array from db to /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC/File\ Formats/Camera\ Raw.plugin ...actually did that to play nice with people who update themselves

so...i guess in the end i can just rely on the db...thanks tvsutton

But Adobe db or md5 hash, it's depending on the verification of a unique file within the 9.1.1 update, so either should be valid
