Jacob Burleyv1.3 of nudge-auto-updater is out!<a href="https://datboi.network/@plantvibes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@plantvibes</a> added functionality that lets you specify days you _don't_ want Nudge enforcement deadlines to fall on, and nudge-auto-updater will plan around them. Useful for change windows, weekends, and public holidays. Inspired by macOS 15.2, the two-week enforcement of which would have landed on Christmas Day :) Release is here: <a href="https://github.com/jc0b/nudge-auto-updater/releases/tag/v1.3" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/jc0b/nudge-auto-updater/releases/tag/v1.3</a><a href="https://datboi.network/tags/macadmins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macadmins</a> <a href="https://datboi.network/tags/nudge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nudge</a>

LaurentI'm a bit late but finally I published a first draft of Tahoe-Compatibility-Checker to use in your Jamf Pro as an extension attribute.As for previous years, feel free to comment.Also, remember, if you are already running macOS 26 Tahoe, it will report as false as the initial goal is to give you devices that are ready to get the OS. If you want to change that behavior, see the comment in the Readme.Enjoy!<a href="https://github.com/laurentpertois/Tahoe-Compatibility-Checker" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/laurentpertois/Tahoe-Compatibility-Checker</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jamf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jamf</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jamf_pro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jamf_pro</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macadmins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macadmins</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macadmin</a>
