After much discussion we have decided to invest a little bit thanks to advice from Trilby and @VeryPC_Colin_M

Finished this over the weekend - enjoyed it. Bit silly in places - but it was ok.

I know - but I need 10 of them.

Yeah - the Amazon firesticks are a bit expensive.

Good afternoon everyone - we recently purchased some cheap-ish Android TV devices for use with our TrilbyTV installation (which is new to us this year). I set up one device on Friday and it has died by today with no power light and no signal coming from it. I'm now worried about the other 9 devices we purchased. So - can anyone recommend a quality Android device that will be kept on 24/7 and not after a few days? Cheers Gareth

We/LEA use Cunninghams (iPay and Fusion). Pupils have to pre-order food as well. There is no ordering as and when they want food. So I cnanot just walk to the kitchens to purchase a slice of toast if I feel like one. I have to order before a certain time. Annoying for me - but apparently it has cut food waste. System seems to work well and I have very little complaints. Gareth

I've been tempted to switch my home PC to Linux but never sure which version to bother with. It's been a while since I've used Linux as a Windows desktop replacement.

I have a computer. 🙂

I've been off work since Tuesday with what has turned from a cold into a chest infection. So in between coughing, spluttering, sleeping and generally feeling miserable - I've been watching The Agency Season 1. Really enjoyed them. Just started Season 2. Will do a few episodes today in the peace.

Afternoon - just wondering what people have on their digital signage in the school reception area. It could be the first thing people see. Just looking for ideas. Gareth

We have thought about moving our PaperCut MF to the cloud - but not sure of the logistics in that. I've never played with cloud based servers and am not sure of the costs to do that. Yet we still have a media file store which is needed at the moment. Cannot see us being able to move that to the cloud - so am not sure what to do with it. We also have our catering server. 😞 So many variables - yet options seemed closed off and there is no discussion that we can be part of.

Printing is the issue stopping me going full pelt -also the lack of direction from the LEA. Apparently Hwb want each LEA to have one printer server. We have our own contract and are not part of the LEA's SLA for printers. Only one Comp in Swansea has gone Hwb and in fairness if I ask a question I get the help (Hi MJ). I feel there needs to be more direction from the LEA though.

From £999 - no thanks.

The other member of staff who helps me out is our DT Technician and so we are using his department 3D printers to run off scenery based on designs found online.

We just edited the install batch file to uncomment the silent line and comment the other back in.
