Comparing web filters
paulkerton replied to JordanT91's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
That's not a cloud based solution though, really. That's someone managing Netsweeper for you. -

Yes, Cloud Scheduler isn't part of the free tier unfortunately! -
How are you doing online admissions forms?
paulkerton replied to Tubby_The_Tuba's topic in Cloud Services
We use Applicaa Admissions+. I don't get involved with it however, so I can't speak of it's qualities. https://applicaa.com/ -

Worth it eh? -

Whereas for me Netsweeper is old, outdated and frustratingly unusable. It really comes down to personal opinion. I would be looking at cloud solutions like Lightspeed Filter and Securly now, long before I put an appliance in my building. -
Google Workspace for Education - Adding Teacher to Classroom

Zero. The free tier gives you 50 hours runtime a week, and as most people will nip in and out to run commands and only work 40 hours a week, you'll never ever touch the edge. -
Looks like January windows updates are causing all sorts of issues..
paulkerton replied to Jcx500's topic in Windows
Demand better? That's the resignation to inevitable I'm talking about. Microsoft have done a fantastic job of setting up the expectations. -
Google Workspace for Education - Adding Teacher to Classroom

Also, whichever one you use, its a really good idea to set GAM up in Cloud Shell. That way, its accessible wherever you can log in with a Google account, and it's much more secure than having it on a local machine. Obviously as an admin you should have 2 Step Verification on also. Video here showing you what to do: -
Google Workspace for Education - Adding Teacher to Classroom
paulkerton replied to talksr's topic in Cloud Services
Either an existing teacher who is in the class needs to add her as a teacher, or you need to be using GAM. Class codes are for students, not staff. https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM Once you have GAM set up you can manage Classroom by command line, including adding and removing staff and students https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/Managing-Google-Classroom -

paulkerton replied to Jcx500's topic in Windows
I find it interesting that the attitude towards Windows bad updates is very different from other OS vendors. If this was a MacOS or Chrome problem there would be way more uproar. Maybe Microsoft's got people conditioned to be used to updates going wrong? -
Ghostbusters?

"Three years or nothing. Three years is the standard. You'll never get one year." "Well, ok for you one year..." "Please don't go, we'll let you renew for six months - PLEASE. PLEASE. Let us at least keep 6 months money plus 8 months interest! PLEASE!" ESS/Parent Pay are putting out more red flags than a bullfight convention.

You'll probably find anything above that would be considered intrusive by your SLT, so they won't support Advanced MDM. -
You might want 32GB, which is recommended!

Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
paulkerton replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
I couldn't image a man who refuses to vaccinate despite all the evidence showing how safer it is for you than contracting Covid, a man who arranges a tennis tournament during a pandemic in response to lockdowns and infects loads of players at said event, a man who is pictured hanging out with children unmasked and close together the day after he claims to have tested positive for Covid-19, who will pose with a brand of booze named after a World War II Axis powers collaborator and war criminal which was bound to upset Bosnians and Croatians and has been pictured hanging out with Radko Miladic and Milorad Dodic... I couldn't imagine that a man like that would lie about his wereabouts on an immigration form. Nah, just couldn't think he'd do such a thing. Anyway, I have another question.... Does sarcasm translate on the internet? -
Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I really, really enjoyed this. It hit the nostalgia drum a bit hard, but that's kind of what you wanted from a film like this. McKenna Grace is going to be an A list megastar, and Carrie Coon and Finn Wolfhard work well as her mother and brother respectively, but it's definitely McKenna Grace's film. The managed to rebuild the dynamic between Egon and Ray in McKenna's Phoebe and Logan Kim's Podcast (the breakout role of this, every time he was on screen it was fun!) and passed the baton to lay the groundwork for more movies in the future. It was smart to position potential sequels with the characters they did (without getting into spoilers) because you have two excellent actors who were completely underserved in the first two films being given the chance for their time to shine in future films. If they can keep them as relatively low budget as this one, they could manage to make some fun films. An absolutely massive improvement over Answer The Call with its overly improvised scripts and bad jokes. (Except Leslie Jones, who was great in that)

I worked at one school where I could never get it done, and never get it in place. The reason was SLT didn't back it, and refused to when I pushed them to. They found it easy to call and pick up the phone, rather than track things properly. You need to get SLT backing to get it in place, you really do.

Voice copying is the issue still (though they did synthesise young Luke for Mandolorian Season 2...). Without any spoilers, last night I watched a very enjoyable film that came out at the end of last year, and whilst a little uncanny still (though the character being ethereal helped) they really have come a long way from the digitally recreated human characters in Rogue One, and just about bested Rachel in Blade Runner 2049.

Yes. Dramatic reboot.

I would assume you've gone through purchasing licensing via either Apple direct, or more likely a reseller like Stormfront (really wish they'd change their name), KRCS or Albion. Your finance department should be able to pull up who you've purchased through. They would be the first port of call to me.

Looks.... Not. Good. You'll know how good it's considered to be depending on whether it appears on one of the Sky channels or gets dumped on "Peacock on Sky" - The home of NBC productions that Sky think are beneath them

50. Would be at least 53 for the first film and 60 by a third. Guys, you're going to be upset about this. I am as much as anyone... but the next Bond might have to had been born in the late 80s... or even the EARLY 90s!! :shocked:
