I make sure my workstation is running as close to the curriculum builds as possible. To help spot issues early or replicate issues reported.

if the laptop supports Display-alt mode then yes.. it's not always clear or documented. if it has a 8th gen intel the likelihood is higher. I don't know of any Ryzen that supports it. I have those budget DFE Dynabook laptops with a Celeron that do support DisplayPort alt mode. (the A30) but others do not, if you know the exact model of laptop you might find it in the specs somewhere. EDIT on re-read. Assuming you have DisplayPort Alt mode for any picture from your laptop, then YES the docking monitor has a DisplayPort output on the back for a second monitor. (You can run 2 monitors from a single usbc port) I used a DisplayPort to vga adaptor to run an old display and it worked great.

We are using NANO-HD latest firmware and NO RADIUS just a psk2. We have a few clients that although connected have trouble that seems like firewall issues. Some refuse to ping unless I force them to re-connect from the unifi web interface. Some will lag out pinging 8.8.8.8 for over a few minutes. usually re-connecting the client resolves the issue. My issue maybe configuration as I've had the same wifi settings for 5+ years, and they've been transposed to different controllers.

EDIT: From the SafetyNet filtering and monitoring site. I'd never seen this before! How long have I missed out... I've been using the esi service and filling in forms!

The BenQBus looks awesome! let us know when you ever come to Dorset!

looks like realtek for the speakers and headset and the intel for sound over HDMI.

I don't use wall boxes, I use back boxes with a brush plate (and a coat hook) or I run the cable to the desk for direct insertion or into a usbc docking station. (my favourite) I did get from amazon but they don't have a category so some sleuthing is required but I got my big deal install cables from here: https://cpc.farnell.com/w/c/cable-leads-connectors/leads/audio-video-leads/hdmi-leads/fibre-aoc-hdmi-leads/prl/results?sort=P_PRICE EDIT: found this on Amazon, I haven't used this brand. I'm just goin on spec.https://www.amazon.co.uk/COSEMI-Active-Optical-Displays-Supported-Black/dp/B07JGMZFXF/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&keywords=hdmi+aoc&qid=1632988605&rnid=1642204031&s=electronics&sr=1-23 The term to search for is AOC (active optical cable)

fyi you can get HDMI cables that use fiber optic rather than copper. (they have source and destination on the plugs and don't cost too much more) This fixed this issues with our newline RS+ TVs (as they wanted to run in 4k60) and our older copper cables couldn't quite do that. They'd get fussy at about the 6m mark picture could work sometimes etc. I once had amazon basics cables using optical but they've changed that (10m+ cables) EDIT: found one!

I have a 1080p 27" at home and a 1440p 27" here at work. I prefer the 1440p it's a better balance imho. I think 4k and HDR (most HDR is fake or underspecced) are not worth it in windows or gaming. Productivity is probably better suited to a multi monitor setup than 1 expensive monitor.

I'm having a debate with my tech. He claims that the new ASDA petrol station is fully automated and has no attendant. I argue that someone must be there to ensure safety like fire or a child using the machine etc. Does anyone know the rules?

wow! I was doing someone a favour as their new (ish) 10th gen i7 laptop a 15s-fq1006na was periodically declaring it has no hard disk installed when turning on. (even though its an NVME) No data loss, no windows complaints and resetting the laptop makes the issue go away... This I thought sounded like a firmware addressable issue.. well f me. When you find the support page for the laptop and go to drivers you have a single option..."order driver media" No Drivers to download, No firmware, no firmware history. yikes! I'm used to the probook experience (where a new firmware is usually available even if the device is 7 years old) and I've recommended HP laptops on my experience with those business products. urk. But wow the domestic products look similar but are a second class device as far as HP is concerned. (out the factory, out of mind) side note: I did look on the western digital website to looks for firmware for the drive but it is up to date.

ipads maybe using private mac address mode (as its the default now), so keep changing mac addresses when they feel like it. This might upset some systems you have in place.

I believe Aruba to have a good reputation. Maybe they've been installed in areas that are unsuitable. (hot, damp, vibrations)

oh my goodness, again but worse!

The ipevo app is in the Microsoft Store and normal users can install it without permission (at least here I allow staff).. (also will update without extra hassle) The app works with any old web cam and has some great features. https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9PFXWFL0PB4S EDIT: The ability to flip and mirror is essential!

just upgraded from an SE to the SE2020 for £180 4 more years of support from Apple...Great. Also a fingerprint reader. I'm never not in front of a PC so I don't need a large phone.

To me it looks like a deployment issue. The registry stuff looks like a symptom (not a cause) made from install issues. There is a don't badger the user option in the deploy.

aww man good luck. Corel Draw 2020 deployment drove me loopy. The deployment instructions do not mention what version can do what deploy and the instructions allow you to mostly deploy using a method not supported by the version you purchased! (yes deployment methods are locked out depending on licence but is not documented)

This was my impression as above, it gets copied from the "default user" from the local computer.

dang, that's a hell of a round trip. My technician nope'd out and I won't do it. You can't give stuff away! r/choosingbeggar "can't you deliver them...my teaching and learning is being affected by you."

Unifi are great VALUE but it'll be quite the stepdown from a Meraki network. You'd have to buy a Unifi security gateway if you want them to do DCHP. You can do guest wifi profile for ssid (that isolates them from lan traffic) not as amazing as an ap to firewall vpn using NAT that Meraki has but oh well..

ask the manufacture if this function is possible. We purchased projectors many years ago that didn't have a freeze function which was a big problem. We talked to the manufacturer and it turned out that the DID have the function but you had to purchase a different remote! Just in case, look in the panels line up on their store and see if any of the other panels have the freeze function or if a replacement 3rd party remote has the feature. (as ours did) Or train teachers to use extend mode. EDIT: also sometimes some remotes have a custom button feature that can be mapped to freeze. (ala Viewsonic Projector!)

no, you have to select the team type at creation. The differences are primarily the OneNote that is included. You might be able to fudge one in via sharepoint? but I'd just start over

Any sensible way of splitting a mail merge document. I need to save it out as separate files to send via parent mail. So far I see installers, addons and pdf splitter web program. I saw a tutorial on splitting headers in Youtube but it didn't work with our document. is there no native way of doing this without having to trust some obscure program from a random website. I couldn't find anything in the office store either.

this is just bad timing, I had a teacher loose work as it was unsynced and the laptop failed! Also all the teachers are sorting team groups and copying sections to new classnotes (that can't do via the web version) 2 hours of wasted time on this and it didn't show on the services tab of office 365!
