Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
Garacesh replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
I figured it would be something like that, I was just being facetious Just wondering, how many schools have had confirmed cases since coming back from summer? So far we're at 2. Which is actually fewer than I expected we'd have. And what kind of response is the school taking? So far, kids in the same classes have been told to self-isolate but staff haven't. -

What if you plan it the day before? Surely then it's been organised? -
Haven't watched any of that since 15 Million Merits. I keep meaning to, but then I remember how gut-wrenchingly hollow that episode made me feel, and then I carry on watching Star Trek TNG instead

Especially given how it's 6 people or less, but go to school anyway. -

I don't think you're supposed to. You provide the details to the NHS, and then you scan a QR code with the app when you visit places. The QR code is unique to that location, the app looks up who the QR belongs to, and combines it with the personal info you gave. Now it knows you woz there. The business doesn't know you woz there, but probably gets some kind of information about unique visitor amounts etc. If someone self-identifies that they develops symptoms (or are confirmed to have it), the app looks at places they've visited, and knows you visited there too, so it warns you. It also, presumably, warns the business(es) that the QR belongs to. Your details are never exposed to the organisations you scan the code of Or at least, that's how I'd do it. Kinda the same way tracking cookies work, I guess. Anyone who isn't the 'owner' doesn't know who the cookie belongs to, they just know the cookie was there. Only thing is I dunno how I'd have it confirm you had COVID. Self-reporting seems like it could just be abused by all the anti-mask nutters and I wouldn't want to risk people becoming blasé about the alerts. -
The school sent out a reminder to parents last night, and a rather abusive response has come back. Management are, quite understandable, rather keen to trace the origin of this message. Unfortunately all I can see is the e-mail came from #######@capita-intouch.com (where #'s are numbers of which I don't know if they're identifiable or not soo..) If I log in to the admin panel and go to Engagement, Message Log, and check the member of staff, I can see the original sent message, but I assume this is because the member of staff is also listed as a parent of a pupil, so it would have gone to them in the same fashion as it would have gone to the abusive parent. I cannot see the return message to her, which ended up in her e-mail inbox from the above address. Bit of a loss of what else I could try, beyond maybe contacting CAPITA? Any ideas?

This is why I hate WYSIWYG.. Trying to add content to the school homepage. I stick a header in, and some text, and update. I then navigate to the school homepage. The content isn't there. Well, actually, it is. Kinda. img#wpstats{display:none} I have no idea why it's doing this, and there's no option to edit the entire HTML of the page to create the block properly. Clicking on the HMTL editor option only gives me the HTML for the block I've just made and not the surrounding properties, only strong, h2, p, etc. To add to it, I also have no idea how the page has been created, as it's obviously pulling in other blocks from elsewhere, as they're not there in the WYSIWYG, but they're there if I click preview.

Masks are mandatory in corridors (but can be taken off in classrooms), entrance zones to the building are separate per-year-group, sanitiser stations all around the building, and lunch times are staggered so no more than 2 year groups are on lunch at the same time. I still feel like staff should be moving to the pupils, not the other way around, as effectively we have no 'bubbles' at the moment, but I don't get to make the choices ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Year 7's only today, went pretty well. 7's and 11's tomorrow, then all hell breaks loose everybody back in on Monday. -
Having the same problem here I've tried with ActivInspire_en_GB_windows.exe /S /v/qn and ActivInspire.msi* /qn /norestart, both with a .inspire_licence.xml file that I've filled out (I assume, all I actually have is the serial number because I've inherited the network) in the same directory and neither works, and both methods still ask for registration details at launch. The network install option also does not provide an ASTransGen.exe file to create a .mst * Generated via the Network Install option

[sims] Sims won't pick up AD computer objects in new OU's.
Garacesh replied to Garacesh's topic in MIS Systems
I thought so, too. On the Targets screen where you can browse AD, there's a Change Domain button in the upper-right-hand corner, which I've gone through to check the creds are correct. Still nada. For now I've added them manually, but not ideal in the long run. -
Never, but a quick google tells me it's likely to be an effectively-useless cryptocurrency that doesn't even have the option of cashing out. The shop could be worse though. Trading your points in for actual monetary-value-things like Steam wallet, Riot points, or even games is fair. But I'd wonder just how long it would take to generate the couple-of-dollars worth to buy anything of value, and how much it's 'worth' based on hardware degradation and electricity costs. I suspect it would just be cheaper to buy the thing you want outright. At least with things like Folding@Home you're trading hardware/electricity against the greater good, you're not expecting any kind of ROI.

If the motherboard has substantial overclocking capabilities it's possible that the PC was drawing more power than the PSU could output? But most motherboards only have an AI 10%, so I wouldn't imagine it would be enough to push it over the edge? I guess maybe if the PSU was some cheap concrete-filled jobbie then maybe? Do you know what parts you have?

We're rebuilding AD, so I've made a new OU with a bunch of new computer names & GPO's and we've reimaged all the new computers with the right names. Now I go to push SIMS out to them and.. Computer browsing information. No computers found. However, if I switch over to the 'Network' tab and provide hostnames or IP addresses, it works.

Just finished watching Searching on Netflix. Definitely would recommend. It's well-paced, and quirkily-framed (everything takes place throughout text messages, video calls, the Internet etc, but the use of technology is very accurately portrayed, rather than your typical CSI ENHANCE b.s.) and I didn't expect it to play out like it did. Thankfully not based on a true story, though it really plays out like you'd expect it to if it were, I had to Google it after it had finished to find out.

Probably not. Actual 'American Cheese' is a mix of other cheeses, mixed at ratios that promote smooth melting. But they have enough cheese to be called cheese. 'Singles' are very much not-cheese.

I really love the new necron models. Some nice new detail without changing too much, really keeps the theme consistent. I haven't pained anything in a little while.. Last thing I finished was t these wracks. (And yes, I finished the bases after these photos were taken lol)
