Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
paulkerton replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
The last but one I ordered was the old school tonsil and nose ones. Most recent was back to the nose only. My father has picked up some from pharmacies, and they have been all kinds of strange new names and techniques! -
Wouldn't it be Harry Styles shaped?

No. Still not interested, even in March to be honest. Are they still insisting on people being jabbed/tested/six months since having it and the wearing of masks? "BETT flu" is a thing at the best of times, still think I'll avoid it. I can't think of a single product there that I shouldn't be able to get a demo of via Meet/Zoom/Teams or delivered as a demo unit.

If you think Flat Earth is a mad conspiracy theory, then you need to have a look at The Secret Space Programme. Basically the Nazis split into two. The Third Reich you all know about, and the Fourth Reich who had bases on Antartica and The Moon, reverse engineered alien space crafts and then went out into the Solar System... Upon which they created a Super Solider Programme and kidnapped children to become part of their Super Army to fight aliens, space vampires and lizard people. :eek::eek:

[tv trailer] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
paulkerton replied to 6Foot2's topic in TV & Movies
Its a guaranteed five season committment with at least $1bn being spent on the production in total. Yes, the report is $465m for Season 1, but you also have to remember they'll wrap all of the pre-production costs into Season 1 too, so the following seasons will appear cheaper. They've moved to a UK base for European location filming too, so that might reduce costs further (there is also probably a big chunk of that $465m gone on Covid protections and costs out of the production's control) It'll still average out at $25m an episode for 40 episodes and considering they have no "big name" actors like the Marvel Disney+ shows (which cost about the same) it should all go on screen. -
GDPR - Students Doctors details

No, no, no, no, no. There is absolutely no way you should be the DPO You're part of the system, you can't examine the system too. You're Mark Berry not Sue Grey. -
The fight scenes featuring Ikaris towards the end had hideous CGI too. Stood out really bad.

It's in cash too. No share deals or anything. He'll keep running it till the acquistion deal is done, but I give it a matter of weeks after the acquisition is complete before Bobby Kotick is sent into the sunset. The press release statement and having pronouns on the management structure is very much pointed at Kotick and his current regime. A workdplace culture comes from the top.

Email retention from the ground up
paulkerton replied to Jobos's topic in Data Protection & Information Handling
And I would argue that schools should have a higher level of expectation of ability for our staff. If people don't want to learn and change, then they should be invited to look for work elsewhere. The idea that anyone in the private sector would be able to hold back their businesses from progressing because "I don't wanna do it" would be farcical. It should be no different in education and the public sector. A failure to learn or change is absolutely the antithesis of what we try and teach children, expecting them to become "life long learners" who can adapt to change. -

You technically can share one instance but it isn't very secure. You'd be better off with each setting their own up, long term. -

Marvel's Eternals Oh boy. Where to begin. It's not a superhero movie, more of an introspective family drama that happens to have super powered robots who look like humans, in it. If you hand a $200m franchise to an acclaimed film maker who excels at introspective family drama and has an amazing visual eye, you get that I guess - but it was a bit too slow, and considering they've known each other years and are the central romantic pairing of the film, Gemma Chan and Richard Madden had no chemistry whatsoever... and I don't think that was Gemma Chan's fault either. Barry Keoghan and Lauren Ridloff had all the chemistry though. There are a few characters I'd be happy to see not return to the MCU in this lot. Particularly Ikaris and Sprite. It's not Thor : The Dark World bad, but its decidedly average. Still miles better than Wonder Woman 1984 (which is annoying cause the first one is really fun!) and Justice League mind you!

Comparing web filters
paulkerton replied to JordanT91's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
In my experience (and not naming names) is that this doesn't stop providers passing blame, at all. "Oh the filter had an update overnight and caused this..." is a regular excuse I hear, regardless of whether it's bundled. -

That depends if its asking you if you had any parties or not... -
What audit thinks you shouldn't have cookies and analytics on your website? Are you supposed to leave yourself in a position where you don't have workable statistics and information about who is accessing your site and when? Are you not supposed to be able to use cookies to store information such as preferences for the user that they create themselves? Me thinks that audit is perhaps unsuitable.

Google Workspace for Education - Adding Teacher to Classroom
paulkerton replied to talksr's topic in Cloud Services
There were four reasons I ended up setting up Cloud Shell for GAM. 1. Security. Safer in the cloud behind logins and 2SV 2. Speed. Processing speeds are quicker in the cloud than on your desktop (especially if like me you use a Chromebook in your day job) 3. Updates. Updating via Github in a Linux container on a Chromebook was a filtering nightmare. No issue if it's running in the cloud (quicker to download and process the updates too!) 4. Accessibility. Can access it on any browser I can log in on. -
Ahh this reminds me of a stand-up argument I had with a deputy head when they suggested I should check every trolley after every lesson to make sure they were plugged in and charged ready for the next lesson. Suffice to say I pointed out that if a teacher with a teaching assistant couldn't arrange for children to plug them in properly after use, they shouldn't be using them in the first place. Oh the fun I had with that one.

Why is the film "The Iron Lady" rated 12A? Because it's not suitable for miners.
