  1. Well, as someone who never read Discworld novels as a teen, and thought the Sky adaptions of The Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal were all completely dreadful I guess this is being made for someone like me. I don't think it looks bad stand alone. But I can understand why fans of the source material may not like it, if it strays so far from expectation.
  2. The research was also done in completely dark rooms as a laboratory control. UV is shown to affect the viruse's life span. Even the amount we get in daylight. One of the issues we face is the rapidly dwindling amount of daylight in the northern hemisphere in the next 5 months, and any offices in buildings that have no windows... which let's face it is historically the server rooms and IT offices!
  3. That the article doesn't provide hard evidence doesn't make it wrong. Plenty of companies will try to take advantage in terms and conditions. The original Times article actually states that it's a specific pub chain in London (without naming the chain)
  4. My sister's partner is from Vienna... ... you knew I couldn't resist don't you? ME : "Where are you from in Austria then?" THEM : "I'm from Vienna" ME : "... *blank look on my face* It means nothing to me." SISTER : "Ohh... ff...." :D
  5. Push an app to them, and it should appear, I believe. Don't quote that though
  6. I'm really confused... it was a July album according to Wikipedia?!
  7. No, this is expected behaviour. Google Play Store for Education is curated. You only get access to the applications allowed in the Admin Console.
  8. To be fair, Android is still supported down to Android 6 for security updates, it's feature updates that you don't get.
  9. Install where needed, at user level.
  10. You can, but if keeping them up to date is imperative, then buying an Android 9 phone isn't exactly the answer.
  11. Isn't that their job? To communicate directly with those affected?
  12. That's the thing, he's 6ft 9 barefoot! It's 390mm x 104mm x 290mm. Width x Height x Depth when horizontal.
  13. Nothing has been announced for Education yet. I wouldn't expect them to reign back space limits, as frankly, no one hits anywhere near them (the only people who do are those using accounts as backup storage solutions, which is already against the Ts&Cs)
  14. Pixel 4a if you're going the Android route. £350, and really the Google devices are really the only ones that definitely have a good update regime
  15. You can, if you have the settings in place I sent you the other day. They should be using the Meet Link in Google Classroom That's what the functionality in Meet Link in Google Classroom gives you. It's not a calendar invite, so if the teacher goes in and then turns off Quick Access, they can't enter without asking. No Education Enterprise doesn't have more options.
  16. Very much so! I'm sure someone has a trick somewhere, but I haven't seen it.
  17. This is why we left anonymous access switched off. At this point, only students with named accounts on our system can join. If they try to join from an account outside the domain it labels it as such, and if they get rejected twice they can't try again.
  18. Make sure your settings for Google Meet in the student OUs are as follows:
  19. Kind of. You need to setup the student OUs so they're unable to create their own meetings, only join existing ones. Once you do this, the Google Classroom Link for Meet is setup so that only teachers can enter first, and if a student tries to do so before the teacher has arrived it tells them they need to refresh and the class will appear once teacher has arrived. The teacher then has the quick access controls to turn off chat, present to the meet and to turn off people being able to access the room without knocking first. Paul.
  20. 3 to 18.
  21. We provide that information to the child. Our AUP says not to share their login information with anyone. If parents get that login information and we are made aware of that, then we will reset their password and wait for them to come forward to ICT Support. We don't allow anonymous accounts. If someone needs to access a Meet we've created they need to create a Google account of some kind to access a Meet. Standard G Suite accounts will do. They can even create them without Gmail so they just use their regular email address. Oh also, Education Meet accounts cannot attend Google Meets created in the consumer facing version of Google Meet either, only to other G Suite level accounts.
  22. In G Suite for Education environments, anonymous users are blocked by default from joining Google Meets. This is so anonymous accounts cannot compromise remote learning Meets with students. You can also request that anonymous accounts be allowed via Google Support in the Admin Console, but I'd definitely think twice about doing that. https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/07/anonymous-users-will-be-blocked-from.html That is a really, really bad idea. The account is the child's account. It needs to be secure for the privacy of other children.
  23. Download a CSV of the users, and change the force password change column from TRUE to FALSE and then reupload it.
  24. I've heard a couple of whispers that the sale of Capita ESS has now been agreed with someone. Not sure who or the price, but we should be hearing something fairly soon it seems! It's all conjecture till we get the official announcement. iSAMS looks likely to be bought soon too. Private equity company in for that one.
  25. I received mine over the weekend. Thank you folks. I shall wear them soon (they're still in the envelope at the moment!)
