Nah, I'm at the other end of the country now. Plus that's a level of responsibility that I don't want.

This is the trust I used to work for before I left education. This position would have been my manager: https://www.habsfed.org.uk/News/o-Central-Team-Director-of-IT-New-Cross/ The trust has one school in central London (Borough), three in New Cross, two in Bromley and three in Crayford, Kent.

What is your budget? Do you have a preferred resolution? Are you looking for a plain monitor, one with a height adjustable stand or one with a USB hub/Ethernet dock built into it?

Sorry, too late for you but I've now edited the post.

There was an article on Cracked.com which pointed out that elements of each one in the series so far seem to correspond with their respective films, so 1) Split between Tatooine and a green and lush planet 2) Detective story 3) Climatic battle and horrible burns 4) sorry, something that also happened in ANH Which I thought was fairly interesting. /request Spoiler tags please!

So have people been watching Obi Wan Kenobi on D+? I'm not usually that interested in Star Wars to be honest (I've not watched Mandalorian or any of the other TV series), but since it's got Ewan McGregor back I thought it'd be worth a look and so far, it's not bad.

So presumably this uses a boot image on the USB stick to boot from. Is it using Windows PE? If so, you need to slipstream the driver for the raid controller into that Windows PE image. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/winpe-mount-and-customize?view=windows-11 It might not use Windows PE of course, it could be a Linux boot image but the principal is the same. Just how you’d add that driver to it though, I have no idea

Not entirely sure what you're asking here. I use KeePass at work and as previously stated, Dashlane as a personal manager. Dashlane has a browser plugin and a web based app from which you can view all of your usernames and passwords and copy them to the clipboard, just like I can with KeePass at work. They used to have a standalone desktop app but they deprecated it, and in all fairness the web app works just as well.

It’s probably a driver, I had a Plantronics headset that did similar when the driver was installed

It does seem odd that the M1 series have just two DisplayPort channels per 7/8 CPU cores. As you get higher up the chain with the Pro, Max and Ultra variants with more GPU cores, you get more monitors so I guess there must be a hardware limitation with the GPU Apple have implemented in the M1 and M2. Hopefully the M3 will fix it... It definitely isn't. A "Premium" laptop from Dell, HP or Lenovo costs a similar amount too. Not to mention that Google charge a 30% commission from the App Store as does the Steam store. I don't think Apple are a shining paragon of virtue by any means, but they're hardly the devil either. I'd rather pay them than Google, at least they're not selling your data on to the highest bidder.

DS9 has been my favourite Star Trek since I first saw it and nothing I've seen since has changed my view on that. Not to say that I haven't like subsequent Star Trek series, but DS9 is still the gold standard for Star Trek in my view. Babylon 5 is better though

Those are egress ranges, i.e. the IP address the relay uses to send traffic out from. You'd need to block their ingress ranges.

Honest to god, when I started editing that post, @DGardiner hadn't submitted his post yet. Anyway, reading that, it says that iCloud Private Relay uses QUIC. When I was working in schools, I was blocking QUIC because otherwise SSL inspection didn't work on Google, so possibly blocking QUIC will kill that too. /edit Dang it, ninja'd twice in like ten minutes. I'm going to stop now.

I don't know what IP address range the iCloud private relay service sits on. If students can get onto that from a BYOD/guest device, they'll be able to bypass all of your browsing policies. /edit this might be useful: https://developer.apple.com/support/prepare-your-network-for-icloud-private-relay/

Fine in theory but BT Digital Voice, if you have it, complicates matters. As well as acting as a router and wireless access point, the BT Home Hub 2 is also a SIP phone and a DECT base station. The handsets that BT provide pair to the BT Home Hub using DECT so if you use another router, you lose BT Digital Voice.

Granted, but if you’re disabling the Wi-Fi on an ISP provided router, I assume that you’re going to provide your own wireless access points. If that thing is sat there still transmitting SSIDs, that’s going to eat into the available airspace that you have around you which could theoretically be a problem if you live in a densely populated area. The amount of Wi-Fi networks I used to pick up when I lived in London was insane

For personal use, I moved to Dashlane after LastPass got sold to LogMeIn, who have a history of playing silly buggers with pricing plans and have pretty bad security practices too. At that point, I instantly decided that LastPass was no longer worth it, despite having nine months or so left on a subscription. FWIW, Dashlane is a very good (albeit expensive) password manager for personal use but I didn't rate their business offerings when I was evaluating them about two years ago.

If you're after something that's locally hosted, PasswordState is a good one and is free for up to five users. It's not especially expensive once you go above five users either.

Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've seen one but the last time I saw a Stone AIO, it was based on a Thin ITX motherboard with a desktop CPU and a fairly generic Thin ITX AIO monitor from someone like Mitac. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it was adequate.

Do you use Office 365 or Google Apps? You could share the file using SharePoint or Google Drive I guess, would that be secure enough for you?

Possibly - especially if the iPad was supervised before and was set to look at a particular URL to enrol itself to. Was the server hard drive part of a RAID set by any chance?

As long as the Mac that you're plugging it into is of a vintage that can run the version of Mac OS X Server that you're trying to run, then yes, you can do this. You could even plug the hard drive into a USB to SATA adapter and boot from that. OS X is a lot more tolerant of this kind of thing than Windows is.
