  1. You need to find out whether you have a MB950LL/A or a MC413LL/A as they have different graphics cards. If it is Nvidia, it's technically a notebook gpu, so you'd have to use the notebook driver. EDIT: nevermind!
  2. The genius bar doesn't have your mac in pieces on the desk though - it goes "out back" to be fixed. Furthermore, we aren't locking ourselves away and hiding, our doors are always open for people to come and talk. I work across 2 sites, at one I have an office/server room, at the other I have nothing, so sit wherever I find a seat.
  3. I was in a similar situation, don't bother with an online survey imo. When I started I made sure I was introduced to everyone in an all staff briefing, I then spent the time visiting every class teacher, seeing how they use their equipment, and discussing their needs and issues. You can email out as many surveys as you like, but if they don't like/trust IT they will probably be ignored. Make yourself approachable and engage with the staff, and you will quickly have them on board.
  4. Linky? I'm going to try it when I get home tonight.
  5. I'll be a fence sitter, and say make it a setting, some schools will want as much info as possible, some will want as little as they can get away with.
  6. Spitballing ideas here, but A/V trying to scan a file as it's being replicated perhaps? For them both to go down we should assume that it's linked to the DFS, if that's the only thing that distinguishes them from all other servers.
  7. My preferred method was outside, with a hoover going to catch the bulk of the crud, and a dust mask so you can still breathe! I'd also recommend goggles to avoid eye irritation, and forming a schedule so that computers can be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid the buildup getting too bad!
  8. Looks like you've missed one, I have no PM
  9. We have this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dusters-EG-1000-UK-Electric-Air-Duster/dp/B073F9NY1X/
  10. Sounds like that house is wired very strangely! I'd grab a socket tester to make sure the socket is wired correctly: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kewtech-KEWCHECK103-Wiring-Socket-Tester/dp/B004HU2MI2 If the laptop is fine in another socket, then there's an issue with that socket.
  11. Keyboard settings in the control panel have a delay setting:
  12. Can't the config file or the location be passed with a flag/switch?
  13. Unfortunately, the latest owners were much less scrupulous and tarnished the brand name quite badly, lots of reports of bikes not being delivered in time etc.
  14. I'd always be looking at getting a quote from ICT Direct as well.
  15. finally recovered from the weekend then?
  16. Do you have the correct .NET and C++ runtime installed?
  17. There were, just forgot to include it. There were also a set of snazzy edugeek and ICT-Direct floppy disk coasters that I forgot to include.
  18. I had to walk on the stand and sing Eiffel 65, I wouldn't call that a win
  19. There were some decent freebies hidden away this year, I walked away with: MTA: Windows Operating System Fundamentals Microsoft water bottle Microsoft MTA notepad and pen Microsoft MTA badge bksb metal water bottle merge cube ar gizmo LGFL usb cable VeryPC usb cable VeryPC socks 250Gb NVME SSD ict-direct pen ict-direct sweeties Sophos socks Netsupport piggy bank Soundtrap slap band
  20. If they were just replying to capita's email then I would say no.
  21. Missed that one!
  22. In any case, @PhilNeal has some explaining to do!
  23. I first noticed it last year I think, it hasn't been like it long.
  24. Also, Edugeek are listed as an exhibitor, sorry @elsiegee40 https://www.bettshow.com/bett-suppliers-list/edugeek-ltd?&azletter=E&searchgroup=libraryentry-bett-suppliers-list
