As far as I am aware, the only official way to watch it in the UK is to wait until Disney+ launches in the UK on March 31st 2020. I don't believe they've struck a deal with an existing UK provider.

Living With Yourself - Netflix I knew I'd like it from the trailers but it's really stayed with me since I watched it. Paul Rudd and Aisling Bea (who wrote and starred in it) were really good.

Try getting quotes from suppliers away from Link2ICT - we doubled our line speed to 200Mb (on a 1Gb bearer) and saved 40% per year while doing so comparing to Link2ICT's 100Mb (on a 100Mb bearer) renewal cost at the time.
-
Of course, I was just clarifying the original question
-
Is that quote through Link2ICT's replacement service or directly from Virgin? Yeah, Link2ICT/BGfL primarily served Birmingham.
-
They're asking if the name of your trust is the same as that of a type of large cat.

We moved from BGfL to RM Education back in 2016 and have since moved to Virgin Business directly. The price/speed difference compared to Link2ICT is shocking (although Virgin don't provide a router). Moving away from Link2ICT/BGfL was one of our best decisions, no regrets. Of course filtering isn't included in that pricing and we use Smoothwall for that, which does increase the costs, but Smoothwall is a much more effective (if problematic...especially support wise) filtering service than anything Link2ICT/BGfL could provide. Take into consideration that being forced away from Link2ICT/BGfL means you will lose access to CRISP reports...which they are charging as a separate subscription at eye watering rates...despite it's their decision to disband everything!

You always hope the people closest to you have some common sense when it comes to online scams, especially given that their SO is in the tech industry but sadly that isn't always the case . I hope you're already making the necessary calls and changes required. We've actually had our headteacher call us about that scam. These companies have managed to get her DDI from somewhere and have been leaving her voicemails. She thought our school connection was being shut off for 'illegal activities'.

Oh, it felt like the gaps were always larger. Looking back, the gap between the end of a series and start of the next tends to be around the yearly mark. There have been a couple that have exceeded that, like you said, Tennant's last year. Also Series 9-10 (Capaldi) was a 15 month gap.
-
This happens quite frequently with the show. Back in the Tennant/Smith days, series were fairly regular, with the odd series that may air 18 months after the previous one. However with Capaldi and now Whittaker, it seems more frequent. Maybe it's because the show lost steam when Smith left?

Also done and you've helped me consider volunteering local wildlife trust.

Microsoft Intune - Knowledge Share/Visit?
CHiLL replied to Davida1992's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
Our reseller told us that they can't be removed from DEP not long ago. I also stumbled across this old Reddit thread about leased iPads and DEP, which seems to suggest that devices can be removed from DEP - but they cannot be added to another organisation's DEP, even if the device is sold/recycled. It is a bit of a mess by the looks of it. -
Microsoft Intune - Knowledge Share/Visit?
CHiLL replied to Davida1992's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
How old are the iPads and are they registered in DEP? We migrated from Apple Configurator to InTune (after trialing ZuluDesk and Jamf) before we had our iPads registered in DEP, so we had to connect the iPads to our Mac to install the profile. However with DEP - you don't need to connect it to the Mac. Instead, when you get a new iPad or one gets reset, you just join it to a Wi-Fi network and it automatically automatically talk to Apple, detect DEP and tell you there's a management profile to be installed from Intune. Then the rest is down to how you've configured your groups/settings in Intune. Note I: We restricted our iPads from joining other Wi-Fi networks, so it as only connected to our specified Wi-Fi profile in Intune. However this had a problem where the iPad was either fully reset or had it's network settings reset, it couldn't join the network again because joining Wi-Fi networks was disabled (due to being specified in Intune)...thus it couldn't talk to Intune to get the profile! We had to connect it to the Mac to manually install the profile. We ended up disabling that restriction and used a MAC address blacklist to stop the iPads from being able to join other networks via DHCP in our Ruckus management. Note II: Only iPads newer than a certain age can join DEP. Our iPad 4 (Retina) and iPad Mini 2s are all on DEP. Though some had to be added by the supplier we purchased them from. Newer ones can be added by us. Note III: Once an iPad is in DEP - it can never be removed, even if you come to sell/recycle the iPads - they will always be assigned to your college's DEP. At least that's Apple's official stance at the moment. -
We have Smoothwall for the majority of Internet filtering. We also have Impero for basic monitoring/captures. However we also have Visigo (by Smoothwall), which takes captures when keywords are detected and they rate the severity of the capture. High severity captures are sent directly to our DSL. It is effective from our experience.

YouTube - Do you block or allow access to students?
CHiLL replied to Nausing's topic in How do you do....it?
Blocked by default and teachers can request it to be unblocked for a room for a specific period, however strict safe search is always enabled. -
Zombieland - 7/10 I never saw this when it came out, but since the sequel just came out, I thought I'd give it a watch over half term. It was surpisingly better than I thought - it was a fun waste of time and I can't really complain about it. Zombieland: Double Tap - 7/10 Saw this during half term and much like the first one - it was a fun waste of time. I don't think it was quite as good as the original but I also can't really complain about this one either. Note: There is a small in-credits scene which is worth watching (before the main credits roll).
-
Terminator: Dark Fate - 6/10 Saw this yesterday and it was an OK action film. Probably the better of the Terminator films since T2, but certainly no where near as good as T1 or T2. They have retconned all previous films back to T2 means that this is a direct sequel from T2. If you are concerned about spending a fortune on a ticket, I wouldn't recommend seeing it unless you really want to...you wouldn't be missing much. If you have a cinema pass, then it's worth a watch I reckon.

As far as I'm aware, you can't change that at all. We just removed the shutdown/restart option for students via GPO, so nothing appears when the students press that button, it's just an empty menu. That forces them to use the other option.

Yeah, I'd prefer RAID6 or RAID10, but I don't have any other storage with enough capacity to store the data to destroy and rebuild the array!

Adober Reader DC Freezing Issues - Windows 10 1903
CHiLL replied to Spence_101's topic in Windows 10
I had the same issue with SMART Notebook causing Adobe Reader to be slow and @TwistedHelixis 's fix is correct. It can be deployed out via GPO too: Computer Configuration > Preferences > Registry Action: Update Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key Path: SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown Value name: bEnableProtectedModeAppContainer Value type: REG_DWORD Value data: 00000000 (change to 00000001 to enable it again) -
I don't think a UK channel has been announced yet, though it aired on The CW in the US. It would make sense for Sky to get it, with the other Arrowverse shows but the rumours on Twitter don't sound good. Sky have apparently said that another broadcaster has picked it up, but didn't state which. That'll screw UK fans who are waiting for the upcoming Crisis on Infinte Earths crossover.
