Put it on the company credit card and call it an RTX, no one will notice

I have the general rule that i want to know what every device is on the network and who it belong to. The UniFi inbuilt can do this but we have to manually create the code for everyone, when we have 360+ staff and multiple visitors a day this aint fun, we have no receptionist to give out codes either. Created the vibe coded one that has 2 options to login, either enter your name and who your visiting and you get wifi for 24 hours (VLANed off, out via another external IP not out main one) or enter the staff code and you get 365 days.

After a decent self service guest portal that ties in with UniFi, everything i tested had a draw back or was more focused on retail, Vibe coded a whole new system that does what i need and more in a half a day.... still working out a few tweaks but it's a glimpse of whats to come

I work for an ISP, so we provider ourselves Worth looking out for any alt-nets nearby, some give schools discounts e.g. we provide internet to churches, community centers etc for only £1 a month! Unsure on schools though...

They don't anymore

Is scary how well Claude can build software, i simply asked it 'create a mac app that monitors my internet uptime' and it did it, flawlessly adding in things i didnt think i needed but did, all within 20mins. Only thing i had to get it to do was change the icon as it was same as the WiFi symbol!

We use Papercut Hive, had a few teething issues but been fine for last year or so. We're full cloud based and no servers

Yes but! You need an AI port https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en/category/physical-security-nvr/products/up-ai-port We had Dahua and UniFi running side by side, slowly removing Dahua for UniFi, brought the AI port to see how the Dahuas would work in Protect instead of buying new unifi cameras but wasnt worth it in the end.

Moving from Dahua to UniFI currently, They now support Alarm Centre so now have a 3rd party monitoring company keeping an eye also

Augmented Reality?

Loved The Bone Temple, watching the number of the beast scene in the cinema was peak cinema for me

Cloud based backup, not used tapes for 10+ Years

Forgot to add: Worth noting a lot of manufacturers do 16 instead of 17 now due to the aspect ratio being 16:10 not 16:9

Not 17 but there is a HP Probook 4 G1i 16" that meets your specs or the HP 470 G10

26H2 already installed on my laptop and doing some testing FYI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-11-version-26h2

Used to work in Private Schools, now in the Private Sector

All done remotely, i am doing 1 afternoon a week from home. Can do it from the office but would prefer the peace of home to focus on the work

Battery isnt as good as my M4 MacBook but it's easily all day (as in work day) not seen it go below 30% yet.

9 Days in, Only issue i have is my 10Gbe adapter doesn't support ARM, apart from that no issues!

Not a school but: CoPilot for general use, free tier (that comes with out licesning) Claude for heavy users, paid for business tier

Looked to move to Android tablets, the feedback was ermmmm.... terrible, we used Lenovo Tabs cant remember what Gen Lots of the Apps are even not supported or just painfully slow Shelf life of the tablets is a lot lower along with build quality.

Revisiting this, as my Mac has been repurposed again... All the points i raised last year seem to have been fixed, charging fine, no randomly freezing etc.. Day 2, happy so far will write if i get any more issues!

We buy ours refurb via BackMarket, onboard to ABM(ASM) via AC2 on a Mac, Warranty is the one we get via BackMarket
