Ooooh. Technically not a valid go.

I'm fairly sure that you'd need to not have all staff as members of the shared drive, but instead share the subfolders with staff as required. That ends up being a bit crummy from the end user perspective as all that stuff is just in 'Shared with Me', which unless they sort themselves out with suitable shortcuts, is a bit of a non-starter. You could neaten all of that up as follows: Have a shared drive that is storing all of the folders and files*. Membership of that shared drive is minimal (i.e. don't add all your staff as members): just the people needing to administer privileges on the various subfolders. Have a second shared drive and add all your staff as members with viewer privileges. All that this second drive has in it are going to be shortcuts to stuff in the first shared drive. Everybody has the second shared drive, containing suitably named shortcuts, and they'll not be able to drill down into anything that they haven't been given privileges on. That's the nearest approximation to a classic Windows shared drive with granular permissions that I think you can get using Google Drive. Edit: *or you could have your soure files set out across multiple shared drives if that makes more sense.

Depending on how often this is a problem that you encounter, there's always Google Vault to give you a way to get to items that were proviously purged from the bin. That's not really the right tool for the job. The fullest anwser is to have your Drive data being backed up using a backup solution, so that you can restore from earlier snapshots of drives/folders.

I don't believe so, not with the first-party features, anyway. If I were wanting to do this I'd be thinking some kind of scripted gam commands to search for files across OUs with some subsequent reporting/actions off the back of it.

I'm taking it as a sexed up account of a laboratory exercise in order to make for an amusing anecdote during a panel discussion. More like computer game AI rather than LLM-grade stuff.

I know this thread is meant to be about finding features in a car that you never knew were there, but I find with modern cars that it's more a case of "I know it's in here somewhere, but where is it?!"

When a newish Audi does actually indicate, I find the 'animated' sweep of the indicator light quite distracting. It lights up in an outward sweep, but then just goes straight off. I feel like it needs to also go off in an outward sweep as well.

I've heard a rumour that the government is considering tightening up driving tests significantly, and might even introduce them for BMW drivers now as well.

Just looking at the picture of that can is actually making me feel a bit thirsty.

Apple TV to Chromecast? I didn't think that that was supported. Edit: Oh wait Plex to an Apple TV device, not the Apple TV streaming service to a Chromecast.

I'm impressed that it appears to still work for people. We upgraded ours a few years ago because it was stuttering a bit with more recently encoded videos on our Plex. I just assumed that it wasn't able to keep up with more recent codecs and/or higher data rates.

Was one of the best things that I ever bought.

Google adding some Inline tips in Admin along the lines of "NCSC recommends this setting" would be nice. Never gonna happen, but nice.

I've noticed that if last year's version isn't uninstalled first, it'll remain as the version that gets launched, even if you've installed the latest version. For instance if e-Marker2-e2-p-005 is still installed from last year, installation of e-Marker2-e2-p-010 from this year will appear to succeed, but it'll be 005 that will actually run. That one seems to give a communication error when attempting to sign in. Uninstalling it and then installing 010 again then all works as expected.

Just seen that Windows will soon be getting native support for lots of other archive formats, including 7-Zip. Whether or not that means native support for AES-256 encrypted zip files, I don't know. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/cancel-your-winrar-trial-windows-will-soon-support-rar-gz-7z-and-other-archives/

It's worked for us in recent days, by having no https inspection. I wonder if there are some other domains to account for.

That's interesting. I've never got on with the speed limiter button in my Ford, but I use the cruise control all lot, from 20mph zones all the way up. Something else that interests me is the "real criminals" criticism of police speed traps. Encountering a "30mph is for other people" driver is pretty much an everyday occurrance, so I wouldn't be surprised if downward pressure on habitual speeders is totally worth all of the resources being put into it.

I'd sue them if I didn't actually want them to succeed!

The lane hogging thing I find quite confusing. I can understand it (although it's still poor driving) when there is a fair amount of traffic, as some people may feel as though they'd be 'trapped' behind a lorry if they made any use of the inside lane. But when the motorway is basically empty, it's just confusingly moronic. I put it down to a combination of two things: Inattention (i.e. not noticing what other vehicles are doing or what is happening in other lanes). A misconception about lanes, and thinking that it's like a swimming pool with lanes graded progressively from slow to fast. With all the gadgetry making its way into cars nowadays, I do wonder if a combination of adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection could be developed a little further to make a "lane return" suggestion after passing a vehicle, or of the lane to the left is clear.

We use PowerShell, too. This is the script we use when needing to schedule the enabling and disabling of exam accounts. <# .DESCRIPTION Script to enable or disable a list of users. Intended as a way to automate the scheduled availablility of exam accounts for specific lessons only. .PARAMETER Action Controls whether accounts are being enabled or disabled. .PARAMETER InputFile The path to a CSV file containing a list of usernames. The CSV file must include a column named 'Username'. .EXAMPLE AccountsEnablement.ps1 -Action Disable -InputFile users.csv Will read the list of usernames from a csv file and disable each in Active Directory. .EXAMPLE AccountsEnablement.ps1 -Action Enable -InputFile users.csv Will read the list of usernames from a csv file and enable each in Active Directory. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateSet('Enable','Disable')] [string] $Action, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] $InputFile ) # CSV file provided by command line argument. # Load CSV file. Single field will need to be 'Username'. $Users = Import-CSV $InputFile if ($Action -eq 'Enable') { # Enable the user accounts. $Users | ForEach-Object {Enable-ADAccount -Identity $_.Username} } if ($Action -eq 'Disable') { # Disable the user accounts. $Users | ForEach-Object {Disable-ADAccount -Identity $_.Username} } Scheduling a PowerShell script can be abit more fiddly than a batch file. For this one, a Windows scheduled task would need to be as per this example. Command: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Argumuments: -Command "& 'C:\Path\To\script.ps1' -Action Enable -InputFile 'C:\Path\To\users.csv'" The task then needs to be run as a user with suitable privileges in AD.
