Welcome! Joined as an Apprentice also, now full time.

Ohh here's something I haven't seen mentioned, hopefully we'll get some more info on Red Dead Redemption 2 (think the release dates in October?)

NSA backdoor in 3...2...1... /jk I'll be interested to see where this goes, especially since competitors like Apple and Amazon use GitHub.

I need that Kingdom Hearts 3 news! Been waiting a decade Can't wait for all the indie titles too, as they commonly get overlooked because of the bigger announcements (it's how I found one of my favorite games, Owlboy). And of course, any potential Halo/Fallout/Elder Scrolls (LOOOOONG SHOT) news is forever welcome!

It's keeping data accessible regardless of technological changes, ie: keep the data you use usable through keeping it updated, making sure the software you use to access it is up to date, and that people are sufficiently trained to interpret it. source: scrounging up a few articles and trying to wrap my head around it.

Yelling "BOY": the video game.

"You know you work in a xxx school when..." Phrasing -Silliness aside, you know you work in a rural school when the year 11 leavers release 5 chickens into the canteen from the local allotments. -when it's quicker to walk to work, download something, then walk home. -students stay in school and don't wonder off site because there is nowhere to go off site. -even light snow can shut down the school because of the ruralness of the infrastructure. -you end up working at the same school you went too.

I do my hours, but i'm just a technician and not a NM-- so less responsibilities that need to be handled outside of work hours in my job description. Generally if I need to work late (open evenings, school production etc) I'll start later in the day or take the time off another day in the week as needed and vice versa for the NM. I do, however, accidentally stay too late on Fridays since I work a half hour shorter day then, whoops!

Yeah it's fully player controlled, adds some interesting twists when a director decides to save you from the brink of death when you're freezing only to nuke your zone a moment later. It's duo's only ATM because having 4man squads in the current 10 player match format isn't exactly plausible.

If anyone's looking for a good battle royale that isn't just a clone of PUBG or Fortnite, The Darwin Project is very good. 10 person battle royale that's recently gained duo games. It's free to play (receiving a large update today) with an active playerbase. Takes place in a snowbound arena where you have to manage temperature by building fires, whilst also not being tracked down by other players. Unlike most Royales it doesn't have a circle mechanic, rather a hexagonal grid where each 'zone' is closed by a Game Director (An 11th player who can do things such as heal players, give out upgrades, close zones, nuke zones etc) to draw players together. Talking and entertaining the (potential) audience watching you is always fun, and the gameplay is heavily polish and feels much more responsive than PUBG.

https://blog.avast.com/minecraft-players-exposed-to-malicious-code-in-modified-skins Nearly 50,000 Minecraft accounts have been infected with malware designed to reformat hard-drives and delete backup data and system programs, according to Avast data from the last 30 days. The malicious Powershell script identified by researchers from Avast’s Threat Labs uses Minecraft “skins” created in PNG file format as the distribution vehicle. Skins are a popular feature that modify the look of a Minecraft player’s Avatar. They can be uploaded to the Minecraft site from various online resources. Looking back I'm surprised this wasn't exploited sooner, seeing how it could be a huge attack vector. Looks like most accounts affected was Russia.

Realizing that most of my wardrobe was brought either last year or four years ago, which were both very cold years, I don't have any clothes that fit for warm weather! D:

I can assure you it was the first thing I went for. Nothing like taking down a helicopter by throwing a shovel with a comic book 'WHACK' on the head through the windscreen. OOH that sucks, glad you got back though. I played through X once when I was much younger, probably around 2006-7 (so a bit after it came out). Looking forward to going back to an older Final Fantasy after playing 15 and 14 heavily.

Been playing through Far Cry 5 and honestly? Really been enjoying it. The settings a breath of fresh air from the usual jungle or outback setting, and it helps that Montana is a beautiful state-- especially when run on Ultra settings There's something about the gunplay that just feels a bit...off? I'm not sure, I think there might be too much trajectory randomization, but i'm using one of the semi-auto snipers as my main weapon so maybe that's why. Also its hilarious how the game is shocking relevant to the current US political climate, but I wont go further into that because its a minefield I finally had the guts to reinstall the Final Fantasy X remaster thats been sat on my account unplayed for 2 years. See you all in several months time after i'm done dodging 200 lightning bolts again.

Our office connects to the server room, can't wait for people to 'just pop by for a friendly chat' and for them to 'not want to block the doorway'.

Today was a fantastic day to start moving all the music equipment to the main hall

What are you looking to do with it? Do you have any minimum specs you need? Is it just going to be for word processing/light internet usage, or will you be using it for gaming? If so, what sort? Just light programs like FTL, older games like Team Fortress 2 etc, or more modern and heavier programs like Far Cry 5, Final Fantasy XV, Witcher 3 etc.

http://www.ict-direct.co.uk/refurbished-laptops-schools/lenovo-x201-refurbished-core-i5-notebook.html Here would be a good place to start. ICT-Direct are reliable and x201's are decent sturdy laptops (the keyboards a little odd due to the larger enter key, but still very usable). EDIT: Should probably tag @ICTDirect_Dave since i've recommended them.

Most communications are done via Outlook or our internal phone system, but Teams and Skype for Buisness are also good shouts. I'm not personally familiar with the program, but it might be worth looking at Slack? Alternatively if you want a tech-less solution get students on a rotor of reception duty in the younger years delivering messages. Slack: https://slack.com/

It depends how big of a rocket you want. Most of a rockets weight is fuel, and 95% of the fuel is used to escape the lower and upper atmospheres of Earth. If you were just using a large enough sounding-rocket to lift a person attached to a rocket, you'd just need a balloon heavy enough to carry the payload (A person) and the rocket+fuel. There's a difference between a several-dozen tonne payload of metal and fuel and one bloke from Nevada. Just makes me think of Larry Walters, who did the same thing as this guy except made it 16,000 feet with balloons alone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walters Seemed like a much more reasonable chap too.

Might wanna invest in one of these?

Have you considered a stone tablet? All in all, sounds like a policy issue more than ICT. If it exists, it can be copied.
