Fall is that time of the year when we can take stock of the latest Apple releases, measure them against what our expectations were, and see how much tech debt piled up trying to keep up with Apple! We'll talk through what that looks like from the perspective of an MDM vendor in today's episode, with Jason Dettbarn, from Addigy.

Topics: -Armin Briegel from Scripting OS X https://scriptingosx.com joins us on Command Control Power! -Armin is promoting his new book called “Moving to zsh” -He recently presented at MacSysAdmin https://www.macsysadmin.se in Gothenburg, Sweden You can find Armin’s and other presentation videos here: https://scriptingosx.com/2019/10/macsysadmin-session-videos/ -Armin’s career goes from Germany, to the United States and currently in The Netherlands. During his career he had the opportunity to work for Apple. -Before moving back to Europe, Armin was training his replacement when he was asked about books available to learn topics for the Mac. This was one of the inspirations for writing his first book. -Before “Moving to zsh, Armin wrote three other books: Packaging for Apple Administrators: https://scriptingosx.com/packaging-for-apple-administrators/ -PropertyLists, Preferences and Profiles for Apple Administrators: https://scriptingosx.com/pr3-for-apple-administrators/ -macOS Installation: https://scriptingosx.com/macos-installation-for-apple-administrators/ -Upgrading a Mac to Catalina, 10.15 will result in your default shell remaining at bash -If you create a new user, clean install the OS, or purchase a new computer, your default shell will be Z Shell -Questions come up related to current commands and scripts and how they are affected by the change -Sam lets it slip that he is now running Catalina on his production computer -He discusses an issue with Reminders in Catalina and Joe talks of the Apple Mail data loss issues -Sam asks Armin if we will see Erase All Contents and Settings in Catalina since we now have separate APFS containers for the OS & data, similar to iOS -User enrollment is another new feature that is fascinating for features like enterprise wipe -Erase & Install is a custom app that Armin wrote (https://bitbucket.org/prowarehouse-nl/erase-install/), which gives the user a user interface that leverages startosinstall to wipe a computer. In Europe, with GDPR, this provided a confirmation for a user that a business computer was wiped of personal data. -Sign up for the Scripting OS X newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/scriptingosx

He was kind, he was the most giving person I’ve ever met, and he set new standards for what it means to be a host. I try to emulate so much of his attributes, but continue to come up short. Even though we’ve known about his health issues for years, and specifically that he had announced he wouldn’t be involved in MacSysAdmin as the “dictator” any more, I am as devastated about this as I’ve been about anyone I’ve lost in my adult life. My heart goes out to Patrick, Anna, and all of his family and circle of friends. We’ve all lost a great friend and may we keep him with us always. Donate to 350.org in his honor.
