Get this all the time, a few times a week of the normal "I can't find my work" or "Onedrive keeps deleting my files" and the favourite "I have spent hours on this one file and went to save it once at the end and it crashed". Ask all the normal questions, Where was it, what was it called, what was its contents, what device where you working on and what software was it in word, excel etc.....the amount of students that can't even tell you if it was a word doc or a spreadsheet is shocking and worrying. Mind you saying that when you have to write down their very simple 3 word password after a reset you realise just how far gone the gene pool is.

New Macs with wireless keyboard and mice in an educational setting
Driftingforlife replied to Carter's topic in Mac
You would be insane to use wireless K+M in a classroom, its never going to work well. I have yet to meet a teacher that cares/has the ability to stop students wrecking IT equipment. We sell ours back to the supplier and buy wired ones. We have gone down the mac mini with a standard 24" screen route instead of imacs, meant we could actually buy more and they have 2 USB A connectors. -

Driftingforlife replied to Fazza's topic in Enterprise Software
I never put in the cmd.exe bit for my command lines, just the command I want to run. Try this as powershell. $Account = "Student" $Password = "Student" cmd /c "net user $Account $Password /add /comment:""Student"" " cmd /c "WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE ""Name='$Account'"" SET PasswordExpires=FALSE" -
Promethean Cable Length Issues
Driftingforlife replied to Gongalong's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
Your not alone. We have had real trouble using 5m HDMI cables in the trunking on the wall, we started using the shortest cables we can get away with. Have been temped to try fibre hdmi cables. I have one at home that works great for gaming on my TV from my PC at 4k60. -
What do you use for customising your Windows10 install?
Driftingforlife replied to Sonic007's topic in Windows 10
I use NTlite to customize all our ISOs for SCCM/manual installs. For manually capturing/coping a syspreped image I use LFsoft active boot disc. This is only for our quarantine network, we use SCCM for everything else. -
The students know their teachers are stupid already

HDMI over Fibre leads for 15m run
Driftingforlife replied to superatticman's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
I bought a fibre hdmi cable so i could game at 4k60 on my 75" TV using my PC upstairs. It has worked well for me so far. Just note they are directional. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RMTF6P7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -
Has anyone had the Dynabook E10s? We are looking at splitting out allocation between ipads and these look very close to the Geo books.

^120% Teaching Tech, he has made a website to help with the setup and calibration on a printer that is a huge help. I use F360 and Cura and it works well for me.

I have a Ender 3, they are a great starting point and even better if you want to learn about modding/improving your printer, it can teach you a lot or spend more on a printer that can do it all already. For reference, My ender 3 was £180, I have spend about another £250 on it adding a better mobo, direct drive and ABL. Avoid the CR6 SE, I would recommend an upgraded printer right off the bat like one of these two although i'd upgrade the E5 to use direct drive. https://technologyoutlet.co.uk/collections/creality3d/products/creality3d-cr-10-v3-3d-printer https://technologyoutlet.co.uk/collections/creality3d/products/creality-ender-5-plus-3d-printer

We have teams but Exec bought into it for a few people despite all the evidence we provided against it. We refuse to support it at all. I am regularly deleting any zoom exes I come across. Whats more stupid is the fact the my local council (my mum is on it) despite paying for office 365 went and bought zoom. I refused to install it on my mums laptop, I ended up putting it on a old isolated laptop for meetings.

We have had some problems with the start menu not loading the layout. No idea if this will help with the problem your having though but might be worth a shot. -

It won't be as quick and TRIM will not work so it will get slower over time. You really want to be using AHCI.
