I'd have thought either: a personal account, so that any other personal accounts that they might have secured against the app are not then going to encounter any issues when they leave the organisation. or the work account if an Android work profile is being used. A separate instance Google Authenticator installed in the work profile to be used just for work accounts. If they also have an instance of the app in their personal profile, then they use that for their non-work accounts.

Self-care is one of the most important aspects of being a good, effective parent. IME there's always a chapter on it at the end of any decent parenting book. If little plastic skeletons are what you need to self-regulate, support your partner effectively and avoid running out of patience/energy, then little plastic skeletons are what you need.

What sort of overall bandwidth savings have you noticed?

This may become more and more relevant given Google's intent to cripple ad-blocker extensions. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/google-chrome-will-limit-ad-blockers-starting-june-2024/

Worth knowing, thanks. Given that we're currently deploying apps updates via Group Policy app management, this wouldn't be any kind of backwards step.

I was looking into this a little while ago, specifically at whether winget would do the job. It doesn't really, since winget runs under the end user context and can't be run by the system to install/update apps for all users or during startup, etc. I'm planning on sorting out a Chocolatey setup at some point, with an internal repository for clients to work against (avoid using the public repo as that may allow end users to install whatever they want from there). The internal repo would still need app updates to be manually packaged up by an admin each time before they can be deployed, but at least that brings some homogeneity to proceedings. I know that @mavhc has done a fair amount of work on that stuff, and has previously shared a solution - https://github.com/mavhc/choco-school.

IT get the raw data and run some dedupe scripts on email exports before providing it all in PDF. The Google Vault searches are generally as broad as possible, but might become more focussed depending on the scope of the SAR. The redaction is then done by whichever member of SLT is handling it. The data manager prepares an XML file for use with Libre Office redaction tools. The XML file contains a big list of names, email addresses and email signatures to try and automate as much of the redaction as possible. All of that can be done pretty quickly now, but ultimately, a member of SLT needs to read through everything, which is where the personhours can really stack up.

I had a similar experience playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on PlayStation. I was able to string together a whole 2+ minute run as a single combo such that the score actually started going down rather than up. The PS1 literally couldn't cope with my sick score

If somebody gave you a button such that when you pressed it, a kWh on the other side of the world would die, would you press it?

I've decided that I'm not going to be showing that to my daughters.

im not sure which is more nauseating the ladys weird 8 fingered leg arm or the grammar i think even the crummiest ai would be able to grammaticise at least something on the page and would probably also write woman rather than lady

If it were me, I'd be looking to mount the dock on the side/underside of the teaching desk (perhaps by utilising a VESA mount). I'd also be wanting to have the USB-C lead that connects to the laptop be able to be swapped out without having to bin a dock. Either a dock where the main lead is replacable, or a short extension, and tethering the lead to the mount/desk such that there's no strain on the dock itself when the user inevitably snags it. IME USB-C cables aren't very robust and suffer a lot in the characteristically 'robust' environment of a teacher's desk.

Gouda thought you curd get so much mileage out of cheesey puns. Although I think Brie has come rind for a second go already.

Always use the MIS (or an MIS-linked system) to fetch or use parent contact details. Staff members digging up an address from an earlier email thread (or having it saved in their email contacts list), obviously won't account for subsequent changes to contact details held by the MIS.

Not sure how well maintained mRemoteNG is these days. Last stable release was nearly 5 years ago. We use RDM and differentiate some of the VMs with UI accent colours in that. The Veeam server, for instance, gets a green accent.

Off topic with regard to the OP, but in repsonse to the 'Google Takeout' suggestions, doesn't that pose a data breach risk in and of itself? We have it turned off. IMHO encouraging someone to be more selective in what they choose to take away with them from Drive would be preferable to an indiscriminate dump of Gmail, Drive, etc. via Takeout.

We use VirtualBox with locally stored VMs. The VMs have immutable hard drives and no network access, with VirtualBox options locked down for end users. I've shared some notes on deploying it all in this post - /forums/how-do-you-do/235842-oracle-virtualbox-7-deploy-gpo-sccm.html#post2018529

Powertoys, or if you're on Mac there'll be a way to rig up something equivalent using Automator.

I guess. There are some people who will assume that Apollo 13 is sci-fi, by virtue of it being in space.

Create a specific OU and disable all the Google services apart from Gmail (and perhaps Contacts, too) for their account to sit in. If you have local AD and use GCDS to keep Google accounts in sync, you may want to disable their AD account, so that it can't be used to access any Windows stuff. We've had similar arrangements for staff who've left/retired but stayed on in some voluntary capacity for a period. In those instances we've left them with Google Drive available as well though, so can't speak as to how well things work if Drive isn't available. HR make them sign the usual data protection agreement, etc. I'd avoid automatically forwarding emails if you can. That won't really encourage them to unpick temselves from your domain, which is what it sounds like you need them to do.

I never knew 'lanyard' was a French thing. l'anyard?

The contributors in that article do the annoying thing of conflating sci-fi with fantasy. I know that 40k has alot of medieval/fantasy design cues, and that some factions are recognisable as fantasy tropes reskinned for sci-fi, but still. Amazon having made a LOTR series doesn't really have a huge bearing on whether they'll do justice to the most epic setting going. Maybe I'm massively in the minority in being endlessly fascinated by GW's sci-fi setting (well, Imperium and Xenos, at any rate), but not ever finding any of the fantasy IP all that interesting. Do most people just dig the sci-fi and fantasy to broadly the same degree? Like, I need them to make an Inquisitor Eisenhorn TV series already, but a series about a slightly unorthodox witchfinder in a long flappy coat employing dangerous methods and hiding a book of spells under the floorboards doesn't really grab me in the same way, even though it's basically the same thing.
