I have a HP Wireless Laser Printer that is so chatty over the internet, it is the highest amount of traffic over smoothwall by hits, but you cannot configure and use the network/wireless on it without agreeing for it to communicate over the web and get constant firmware updates.

Are you going to visit the Lions and Tigers, only in Kenya???

I am afraid I do not have access to IRMS but there is something in my head that says it is DOB +25 unless there is a Statement or EHCP and then it is DOB + 30

How much!!!!!!

The monitors, you plug in the monitor and windows downloads the LG app Automatically. The TVs, now that's a bit more scary.

mod hat time This has the potential to become a very heated and passionate debate. JKR isn't very nice to certain members of our society and this can be seen at that but also we need to remember to try and keep a level head here. We are a nice community and should be working with one and other, let's not have an argument over this

The closest I have to a Derek is a machine I am not responsible, it is the Building Management System, that only recently got moved to Windows 10 (thats right to Windows 10), that controls everything to do with the building and airflow etc. Luckily not the schools actual responsibility for another 8 years yet

To make it even more fun, the two subject areas that were the early adopters, like withing 2 days, and are still the best at using it DT/Engineering and PE/Sport

Actually was most of the science teachers that held out

Ah the days of everyone much have a VLE, under BSF we were made to have Fronter, I spent years trying to get that manageable, Office Extensions and Web extensions for marking etc, was horrific. What happened was about 6 years of trying to get it working, I ended up taking over the network, after the Local Authority pulled the BSF MSP Contract, so I kind of gave the headteacher no option about me going in and dealing with it all (god am I still finding things now that I go What the Actual...) and I got Google Workspace setup, with Google Classroom and AD and Password synchronisation, and just sent out an all staff email. Within a month, all but one subject area has left Fronter in the dust and was using Google Classroom with minimal instructions etc and we have never looked back since. As for BYOD, that has kinda died a death with the mobile phone restrictions etc, as most people here just do not have a full computer at home, unless they are a PC Gamer and I don't think they would be brining in a whole PC each day.

I look forward to it

I have purchased and received both books in paperback yesterday. I preferred the consistent story telling of book two over the collection of incidents of book 1. I actually look forward to book 3 Also Darek/HAL is life. Darek/HAL are external

Do Synology is used to backup 365 and Google Workspace for us. I use Microsoft DPM for onsite servers and (no laughing now) an external SCSI LTO8 tape drive, that backs up to tape once a week, with 12 tapes in rotation through that. Can't get more offline than a tape that is out of a drive and in a safe elsewhere.

You can do with with Jamf and other MDMs too, it is the Platform SSO functionality within MacOS itself. I am not using it yet, but it is on my path of things to explore.

I did 2012 to 2022, just had to make sure 2012 was on it's latest updates to work, was so easy to do.
