401: Moving Time

New email service, who dis?

New email service, new address, new updates and "bug fixes," new security challenges, new skills, new updates…

This issue of MacAdmins.news is exclusively brought to you by Mosyle, where High-Quality Apple Management & Security is made Surprisingly Accessible.

After helping thousands of organizations to migrate from other solutions to Mosyle, we've gained a unique perspective of all the concerns companies face when evaluating the migration of their Apple Management & Security solution. Based on this extensive knowledge, we've created the most comprehensive Migration Program in the Apple’s Management & Security market, addressing the most critical technical, financial, and strategic considerations involved in this pivotal decision. Check our website for more details!

Moving Time x2

This should be the first regularly schedule issue of MacAdmins.news on the new service. My apologies if this ended up in your spam folder or bypassed your meticulously configured mail filters. Unfortunately, the foundering of the previous service forced a quick move. So, update your filters to match the new sender ([email protected]) and update the RSS feed in your readers.

Nevertheless, I am looking forward to using and exploring the new service (Ghost on MagicPages) and have some ideas on improving things going forward.

On top of that, we are also moving houses physically next week. Just as a warning that next week's issue might be delayed, too.
