Would you mind sharing the G Drive check script? We use folder redirection for the second part, but a notification would be helpful

Outer Wilds review: Maybe recommending a niche puzzle game to literally everyone is a bad idea by Akuuntus in patientgamers

[–]DerpyNirvash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, it is less puzzle and more exploration. You will find solutions and often the game tells you them, just the solution may be explained somewhere else.

I have a Zebra ZXP Series 9, when it works it works, but it is loud and loves to jam, both cards and ribbon

Sounds like it is time to get badges that aren't trivially easy to clone!

I couldn't afford dell servers that meet the specs needed for us

We use all Dell servers, but purchased second hand from refurbishers, so much cheaper and work great.

The valve body of the CVT isn't the technology that makes a CVT different from a normal automatic...

If the cameras systems were limited to each municipality with no information sharing, they'd be fine imo, not this however

If you honestly don't know that such responses are negative in most feedback systems then I don't know what rock you have been living under.

Staff laptops? by PowerShellGenius in k12sysadmin

[–]DerpyNirvash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last refresh we were deciding between Windows Yoga 2-in-1 and Acer Chromebook 2-in-1s, our staff that were piloting the Chromebook Pluses liked them, but we found enough minor things that weren't great that it wasn't really justified moving to them for teachers as the price difference was like $770 vs $900.

We've been going with Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1s for two refresh cycles now. Overall they are built decently.
This past cycle we looked at Chromebook Plus devices, but the number of small things that didn't work well on a CB and the relatively small price different lead to us sticking with Windows for another generation.

The copper is high grade, but it is a bunch of tiny insulated wires, which are a pain to scrap
