talkingmoose / Ventura-compatible Macs (regex).txt
Created February 5, 2023 18:41
Regex looks for all Mac models compatible with macOS Ventura. May not be up-to-date with newly released models.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213264
Published Date: October 24, 2022
Verification: https://regex101.com/r/nRkAFo/2
1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate):
^(Mac(1[34]|BookPro1[4-8]|BookAir([89]|10)|Pro7|Book10)|iMac(Pro1|(1[89]|2[01]))|Macmini[89]),\d+$
2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof).

Last active February 4, 2024 06:08
Jamf Pro extension attribute to return date of last reboot. Create the EA with a Data Type of 'date'. This allows a Smart Group to use greater than and less than calculations.
#!/bin/bash

# extract month, day and time
month=$( /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }' <<< "$lastReboot" )
day=$( /usr/bin/awk '{ print $4 }' <<< "$lastReboot" )
time=$( /usr/bin/awk '{ print $5 }' <<< "$lastReboot" )

talkingmoose / Manage App Notifications.bash
Last active January 25, 2024 15:26
macOS Catalina will prompt users to allow Notifications from each app that makes a request. Administrators can manage these prompts using a Configuration Profile. If running Jamf Pro 10.19 or later, I suggest instead using this manifest: https://github.com/talkingmoose/jamf-manifests/blob/master/macOS%20Notifications%20(com.apple.notificationset…
