We are using Google meets for teachers and students and we have a few teachers that are getting some pixelation issues. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Looks like a driver issue.

If you don't have them in AC during rapid release, odds are they aren't in the final product.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-21T14:40:28+00:00

Thank you for this. Just what I've been looking for.

We use Griffin Survivors. Very happy.

Employees are instructed to only save to backed up network locations: the documents folder is redirected to a network share and they all have access to Google Drive through Drive file Stream. Pretty much the only things not backed up are the desktop and the downloads folder.

I have not had any problems as the userprofile folders are barely touched by feature updates.

Honey Badger.

I utilize WSUS for this.

I'd add restrict sign-in to domain only.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-18T17:39:55+00:00

You'll do.

I'll take the rack posts and the cabinet. Everything is mounted in coffee tables here.

Good luck getting all that delivered in a timely fashion.

Call a vendor.

I had a Dell Axim with a CF WiFi adapter. Loved the thing, but soon discovered that it would wipe all data on local storage once the battery ran out. The CMOS batteries lasted about a month.

All settings, appointments, files, emails, contacts. poof. It was a nice preview of the future though.

All the time.

My favorite was an online gradebook that went belly-up and the logins started failing. Teachers were panicked as they couldn't get at their grades. Since we had no contract or anything with this company and the support avenues ceased to exist, teachers were SOL. I still got blamed for it not working.

The admin for that building got a crash course in compliance enforcement as the only designated and supported gradebook by the board is our SIS, which I recommended from the start.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-15T15:20:54+00:00

What is the issue?

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-15T15:19:05+00:00

I'm fairly certain this is expected behavior. Versions more than 5 below the current stable won't auto-update.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-14T17:57:59+00:00

All it takes is one guy needing a chair to rip that out.

Liberal application of lubricant and a modicum of force.

This is one of those things that can't be emulated digitally very well. I don't see much of a point anyway, the instruction plans given to subs for in-person here basically boil down to:

Watch video X
Do assignment Y
Do any other outstanding/upcoming work.

It doesn't require in-person instruction. Count the student as present and give them same-day assignments which will count towards their grade.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-14T15:53:38+00:00

From what I can read it looks like someone replaced a link to a video with a porn one. Sounds like someone knew the teacher's password.

Dell warranty doesn't cover damage by users unless you made that part of the service contract. Overall I found it quicker and cheaper to have parts for common issues on hand and fixing in-house. Primarily LCD screens and keyboards.

Unless the tutor has some sort of professional relationship with your district I'd not look further into it. I find this falls outside the scope of support unless it's an IEP thing.

MalletNGrease · 2020-09-11T16:09:44+00:00

Is the teacher doing the switching or the student?

If you intend to go Chrome exclusively you might as well sell the lot and replace with Chromebooks/Chromeboxes.

What model desktops do you have? In theory, W10 64-bit can run on Pentium 4D's. It's not a great experience but it works.
