This isn't meant as a flippant question, but to help you think of a response: Why are you pushing Teams? What problems does it solve (either for IT or for users)?

This is a very good point - I would just encourage you to check that staff actually need the software. Here (before my time), they opted for SMART large format touch screens because staff insisted that they must have SMART Notebook. I know of two people across the entire staff that actually use it, and even they're not wedded to it. The SMART boards are great, but we could've got cheaper generics and saved a bunch of cash.

Have actually done this with a supplier before in a similar situation. Just a commandexporter report and some PowerShell data tweaking, but they thought it was witchcraft.
-
True - I highly doubt there are actual scrotums (scrota?) in meat, although after seeing a BBC documentary where they tried to make the absolute cheapest meat pies they could with MRM and other pink slime-like things, I'm rather skeptical of cheap-o meat. Can't remember what it was called, but they made "Mister Riley's Pies". EDIT: Was called "Britain's Really Disgusting Foods". Good reason to eat veggie!

The software is okay at best, and don't even think about their web viewer (requires old plugins that don't work in anything but IE, and even then barely). I'm working on a better web viewer which I'll open source when done. Cameras themselves are solid, but clearly they cheaped out on software engineering.

I'd eat that in preference to mystery meat.

At a previous school we always got served lasagna for lunch on INSET days, without fail. I asked what the meat version was made with once out of curiosity, and got the response "dunno it's just what we got in". As such we forever called it the mystery meat meal. Still better than the muffins that tasted vaguely meaty....

Scrotums and eyelids?

Fine here - have you tried re-seating the SIM?

Why do an ever increasing number of switches use C15 power connectors?
FishCustard replied to localzuk's topic in Hardware
I just buy a bunch of C15 leads for server room kit - can always use them in C14 sockets if you need to. -
Someone fancied a brand new network? (Fire at West Sussex school)
FishCustard replied to Andrew_C's topic in General Chat
Excellent, neat solution. Expect people to still email "can I have a laptop / where's the assembly laptop I need it now pls!!!!" despite telling them 42 times. -
Why do an ever increasing number of switches use C15 power connectors?
FishCustard replied to localzuk's topic in Hardware
You're right - the temp rating for a C13 is 65C, whereas the temp rating for a C15 is 120C. PSUs in some PoE switches (48-port ones usually) can probably get above 65C under load, so I'm not surprised they're using them. -
I imagine the sensors emit data over some proprietary protocol, which means integrating them with a new controller may be difficult. I don't know of any companies, but the first bet might be to call a few at random, describe the problem(s) and see what sort of response you get.

I'm rather skeptical that Rhaegal (assuming that Daenerys uses Drogon) would attack his "mother" and his brother dragon. While a full-on dragon fight would be very cool to see it just doesn't really make sense. They like Jon it seems, and respond to him, but would they turn on Dany for him? Doubtful.
-
I wonder whether Jon will have to kill Daenerys for some reason (she decides to do something crazy - e.g. "the children of the forest creating the White Walkers" crazy) and reluctantly take the throne. The slight problem with that hypothesis is "what about the dragons?"... I've not quite figured it out yet!

Should be safe posting this - just reporting on the issue, no links to anything dodgy. https://www.polygon.com/2019/4/17/18411040/city-of-heroes-score-private-server

Note that this will delete all users' login data, including (e.g.) teachers and individual student accounts, which may not be what you want. If not, I'd use the individual version above.
-
In that case, just run a startup script that deletes them from all the shared user account folders (I'm guessing there can't be that many). If there's a pattern, even better - can use PowerShell and reduce repetition.
-
Out of curiosity, what is the need behind this? Surely teaching students to use a password manager (even if just one in a browser) is a good thing? Or is it a shared account?

[wanted] AlphaSmart or possibly even an Apple eMate?

Cannot Get onto Parent Mail website - just my machine
FishCustard replied to Joanne's topic in Cloud Services
Seems that (maybe) it can't load the JS it needs? Very weird as it only happens on your PC. What's special about that PC? Different DNS settings, different Internet connection, anything like that? Does it work if you log in on that PC as a test user? -
Cannot Get onto Parent Mail website - just my machine
FishCustard replied to Joanne's topic in Cloud Services
I doubt that's anything of relevance to be honest. Can you check the "Network" tab in Chrome to see what it is loading?
