Major Issues - Server randomly freezing
southhamster replied to Pyroman's topic in Windows Server 2016
Do you have an idrac you can connect to? May give useful info. -

Display Connectivity in Classrooms
southhamster replied to StephenPink's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
We've taken a different approach. We make up 3 and 5m Cable snakes in woven nylon cable tubing. These run directly to the teacher's desk secured with releasable cable ties. If a cable fails we just swap out the snake for a spare and fix it later. Gives us flexibility and supports the cables well on the desk. Can be run in trunking as well if required for neatness. Also cheaper to get installed! -
Yes, our google workspace alert centre has told me that emails sent from [email protected] at 13:35 were flagged as phishing/email. Let's hope it get sorted quickly - staff will need to update each other manually about incidents and update later. I'm loath to just whitelist CPOMS in case there is a problem...

PFI contract by any chance? -
Display Connectivity in Classrooms

Not a complete answer but HDMI cables with a right angle connector on one end help. Just make sure you get the orientation right or you'll be inverting a lot of faceplates! -
Have you tried it as a frisbee?

Ah. Looks like you found Very PC's next design!

Thank you for the lovely things. I'm still WFH but my fellow techie onsite is very happy to test everything out including the edibles!

Yes he's clearly a clever little chap. I used our trail am indoors to snap it. -

Another visitor. This time a wood mouse caught eating our seedlings at 3am in the house. I said we we were gardening for wildlife but Mrs SH did not quite agree. Safely caught and released several fields away. Wood mice are much better behaved than their household cousins! -

If they've worked possibly the DC is not even connected! There should be a notice by each inverter with system details and installer name. You could try SMA support in Milton Keynes for a local PV enginer.
-
Completely agree but checking switches is ok.
-
Oh yes and check the obvious! Should be large rotary DC isolators near the inverters and possibly secondary ones as well?
-
Do you have any ights/display on? They are driven by the DC side. Normally each inverter is linked to at least one string of panels in series so a break will stop it but unusual for both to be broken. I've seen one where squirrels chewed the cables through! Do you have a DCclamp meter to check for current/voltage? With AC off you could check the removable link underneath is ok. SMA are really solid inverters so unusual to see 2 faulty.

Unless it's Kyocera!

Kobo libre H20 here. Excellent screen and backlight. Good battery life and borrowing library books through overdrive.

We certainly dug out a lot of coal! I had forgotten there were coalfields in Kent and Somerset.

Wasn't there a weird issue with fake manufactured devices some time ago which ended up all over the place. It was sometimes pot luck as to whether the chip was genuine. Possibly this is an attempt to try and block the dodgy ones which may have backfired? https://www.theregister.com/2016/02/10/ftdi_says_knockoff_chips_part_of_criminal_operation/?ma=1505433615001

We get ours from RSPB as it helps to support them. We have to store ours in a metal dustbin in one of our sheds (yes we have 3!) or the mice/rats/shrews will chew through plastic to get to it. -
+1 for Teltonika. I've used the 3G version for solar PV farm monitoring. The ones we have out there are still working fine and don't hang. From memory there is a watchdog timer. If it fails X pings in y minutes it restarts. On the older models you could also send a text message to restart/check status.

Pretty much all public libraries use it for borrowing ebooks. I use it on my kobo reader and it's been a godsend in lockdown. There is map of local overdrive organisations including some schools.but I'm on my mobile so can't find it. Maybe contact a few and see if they can help? Looks like there are a couple of apps which might help https://www.overdrive.com/

When I saw "kiwis wandering round Oban" I wondered what on earth they were doing in a cold,wet Scottish seaport! Great pics BTW. It sounds like a brilliant trip.
