Really depends on your scale and needs, but when we were in the process of transitioning from Ivanti to Intune we had a gap between them. I set up a FOG project server and a couple remote nodes and that worked really well as an interim solution. I actually started using it at home even though I don’t really need imaging too often.

Can I ask why chocolatey and not just installed via policy/company portal? I’m not our Intune guy so I don’t know much about the limitations.

I’m kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM act requires companies to honor your opt out/unsubscribe request within 10 days.
