I've got Chrome 72.0.3626.96 running here and the flash video on this link works fine. (I'm prompted to allow flash to run, but that's expected with our settings) https://www.dhs.state.il.us/accessibility/tests/flash/video.html I've had mixed results with allow flash GPO setting, more so recently. I guess it's because they're trying to depreciate flash support.

If it's just printing (and not copying) and you're using a print server then something like this would do the job. https://www.papercut.com/products/free-software/print-logger/

Sorry, I can't see a link to the reference speakers you're talking about. We looked into USB powered speakers for music but gave up because all the USB powered ones just aren't very powerful/loud.

We've pointed the chrome profiles to the user's roaming profile. This allows chrome to remember their logon and automatically log them on in the future. Although they still have to re-authenticate when they change their passwords or their roaming profile gets deleted.

When I first started in IT Support, almost every time I searched a problem online I wound up here.

We've been hunting for a solution for a while but so far haven't found anything more than Bulk Delete (IOS App) which realistically saves about 2 taps per iPad. Have you looked at this (although it sounds like you have to go through one at a time): https://snapguide.com/guides/delete-batch-photos-from-an-ipad-using-a-mac/ I suppose if you have one of the cabinets with a USB hub, you could plug a mac-book or mac-mini in and just rebuild them overnight every day.

Not seen this before. I'll have to take a look. We haven't really wanted the kids logging into anything on the shared ipads as they'll forget to log out and have access to each-other's accounts. I understand this probably means that we can't log internet traffic beyond the device level.

Secondary here. For us it would be a classroom management/teacher issue. We've got an electronic booking system for shared ipads we and we can check the smoothwall logs to find out exactly when the incident happened. After that, it's down to that class teacher work out which student(s) where involved. I'd be keen to find out if other people have a more technical solution.

With us it's more the occasional "I have a conference and need a laptop" type thing where they're only out for short periods. But we bitlocker the laptop and set up a .\localuser account from which they can access our Frog site or remote desktop.

We use Intune to manage our ipads and Samsung phones. It does a reasonable job of restrictions (although the apple devices have more management options), and app install works just the same across both. Although I get the impression Intune is generally a lot less powerful than lightspeed.

We use Computer Disposals Ltd for our last lot. Good service, although they underestimated how big a van they were going to need. If you've got a lot of HP kit, it might be worth looking at the HPFE TradeUp program. https://hpfe.com/gb/en/pages/edu/home

I've been using windows defender for a few years now and not had any problems with it.

We've all got something akin to this at work. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I used anything other than a screwdriver.

Based on the opening narration they just threw a lot of people at the Dalek. If there's enough people coming at it from all directions, one Dalek is going to get overwhelmed eventually. TBH it was an interesting enough setup I was willing to give that a pass. I agree with the rider. Not only didn't the bandits take the bag, but the body (out in the open) remained undisturbed for the hundreds of years it took to become buried. Overall, the episode was alright and the "junkyard Dalek" was a cool design (I liked the red light inside the "head"). Unfortunately the "Fam/gang/team" thing is unlikely to go. Chibnal has made a big point about them not being "companions", the actors have reportedly been told not to refer to the companions as "companions" as it doesn't fit with his vision or whatever. I do agree they need to cut down on the companions. Maybe instead of getting rid of (killing off) anyone they could just make it that she only takes 1 or 2 at a time. Maybe Yas stays at home ill (or has to go do her day-job), or Graham is out on a date that week.

I've got a blogger site at Rob Dearsley which I use to promote my writing. Nice site @bwestlake. Looks really clean and modern.

I like the scarf (I mean it's no Tom Baker, but it's cool). Now, if we can just get her into proper length trousers.

For me, this week's episode really highlighted the complaints I keep hearing about the show. The dr talks way too much and too fast, she just seems to spend the whole time wittering on and waving her "sonic" around, which is really starting to irritate me (almost Mat Smith levels of irritating). She doesn't seem to work things out (or we don't see her working things out). She just ends up being told them because the villain is feeling expositional. And then in the next scene, she's all "I think I know what's going on..." You only think? Were you not listening when the mud people told you this information? (sorry that bit really annoyed me.) There really are too many companions. This week I really couldn't tell you what any of them brought to the table. There's just not enough time in a 45 minute episode to give all 3 of them enough story to engage with. I'm not against having 3 companions, but maybe they could have a rota or something. To be honest, I was surprised it took them as long as they did to think the dr was a witch. I mean, she says odd things, knows things she can't possibly know, and does the impossible by waving a glowy stick.

Students get something like £1.00 a day printer credit (but teachers can override and charge to their CA if required). Staff all charge printing and copying to a CA/department/activity. Then at the end of the financial year printing debt is paid off from the relevant budgets and the accounts are zeroed out (much the same as MJTayloronline, only yearly instead of monthly). CA/department heads get weekly/monthly/termly reports of printing in their area (depending on their preference). It's been this way since before I started here and we don't get any complaints from the staff.

Wouldn't that be friction?

But according to FE, the illusion of 'gravity' is due to the continued upward acceleration of the disk.

Acutally, I've always wondered that (or variations of it) myself. How can a fly hover in a car travelling at 70mph as though it were stationary? Is the fly technically also travelling at 70mph? And how does that factor into the whole E=MC(2) speed of light thing? If you had a rocket travelling at half the speed of light and fired another rocket inside it also travelling at 0.5C wouldn't the second rocket be travelling the speed of light?

I don't remember anyone dying in The Ghost Monument. Unless you count the cloth-monsters they burned to death. I liked a lot of this week's episode, but found the Dr particularly irritating and both death scenes to be lacking.

Use the Java version? It looks like you might be able to put store apps into LTSB:https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1317186-store-apps-on-ltsb-now-possible-the-best-of-both-worlds/

Doesn't that just move your cable spaghetti to the other side of the rack? Or do the brush modules have some sort of cable management at the back?

that's not too bad. You can still see the patch panel. The cable tracing kit is a good idea to get the ports labelled. When it comes to re-cabling, I'd keep the cable management bars but use shorter cables. Or if your pulling the whole thing apart then alternate patch-panels and switches. Sort of like this: https://www.itrw.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/server_spaghetti_3.jpg
