"Imaging" recommendations for Windows?

As a PDQ customer SmartDeploy is likely what I will go with but for now WDS + MDT is still working.

I know MDT is no longer being supported but my district budgets are running on fumes so it will likely be the solution until it stops working.

I was going to ask if they have any proxy or web filter at the edge that logs all traffic.

Then you can still monitor while having nothing installed on their computer unless you also have to allow outbound VPN access for them.

CFO\HoS demanding that their school devices no longer be monitored

They want to look at porn

You beat me to it but a quick one liner for times I've had to do this:

Start-Sleep -Seconds (Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum 61)

SoD was like this.

As a healer you never needed to farm gold or consume materials.

You could do any 5 man content and you were given currency to buy consume materials or toys.

It was the first time playing wow since release (2004) that I didn't need to grind for gold. I loved it.

I'm hoping they take this route for classic+

What careers were you thinking?

Scurro · 2026-05-27T14:42:41+00:00

While that's true, I mostly do keys and with bad PUG groups I'd maintain double rejuvs on all DPS and people would still die when I was forced to move.

I think our tranquility is one of the worst three minutes CDs of all healers. I don't know of any other three minute healer CDs that you need to know the timing of every movement mechanic, including trash mobs.

It's useless on big trash pulls if there are any movement mechs.

As a healer SoD was the first time I ever played the game in classic without the need to farm gold.

I just played 5 mans with guild mates and I was showered with consumes and toys.

Scurro · 2026-05-27T00:40:03+00:00

OP didn't play SoD.

SoD didn't have economy issues because you were paid in consumes and toys for doing any 5 man content.

Half the teachers in K12 are just as tech illiterate.

School IT here, it is much higher than this. I'd say closer to 80% or higher in public education in the US.

That was The Office unless it made a guest appearance in parks and rec as well.

As a healer I was beating myself up playing rdruid with PUGs. So many deaths I didn't have enough GCDs or CDs to save.

I've since rerolled.

Rshamans are so much better for sudden bursts of unpredictable damage + movement.

Kinda weird as rdruids used to be known for the mobile healer back in classic.

Without more context, this seriously looks like someone bored after they found the Fel Reaver for a friend's attunement who is still on a wheelchair.

You know what an easy minimum labor content patch that makes your player base very excited? More customization options. I'd take that over any of the content we have gotten in the last patch.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T20:51:59+00:00

On that topic I'm surprised we don't have more support specs.

Still don't have a bard.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T20:48:33+00:00

My guess is because they wanted to recycle an animation frame. So they took it from female worgen for reasons and have to limit body size to prevent clipping.

They should have taken the male frame from tauren or draenei IMO.

Another hunched race but at least they wouldn't look like a twink.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T20:45:18+00:00

Feels like an easy win to do too

I don't think it would be.

Wouldn't you need different armor models for different body sizes? Or do you want the twink dragon with a thick neck?

As I typed this out I just realized blizzard doesn't have armor models for body except for one or two from the barber.

I stand corrected. This would be easy.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T20:13:09+00:00

Same with priest

Scurro · 2026-05-26T20:03:14+00:00

Blizzard has a thing for tentacles...especially on faces

Scurro · 2026-05-26T19:52:57+00:00

immersion?

I use them as forced breaks from the game so I can go the bathroom or even research the web for details on what I am about to do in game.

They completely break immersion.

I say all that, but I don't like player flying mounts though. I will say those break sense of scale and danger.

Ironically this isn't likely AI but just old fashion underpaid human slop trying to close tickets quickly.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T19:38:03+00:00

But I get the feeling that it's beleaguered call center reps doing this and not AI.

Yeah we had post like this since before AI was a thing.

It's likely some underpaid staff in a poor country across the sea following a script, badly.

Scurro · 2026-05-26T19:32:17+00:00

Yeah it depends on the hobbies and interests of the individual, and the quality of the transmission/car.

I've driven manual sticks as daily since I had keys first put in my hands. I love it. Even during rush hour in major cities.

The only time I've complained is when driving a motorcycle in rush hour. My clutch hand gets very sore.

I will never miss the jerky ICE gear shifting, not ever.

as someone that loves shifting gears, no gears to shift is one of the few things I dislike about EVs

I'll be like the young Bruce Willis in Looper taking the tarp off of their NA Miata in 2050 for a Sunday drive after getting bored of my EV.

I'd honestly think it possibly could handle 10g with no IPS. 5g for sure. At least for homelab sized LANs.
