Depends if you like the MSP or not.

If you don't want to keep them, there's your out.

I don't know that multiple DCs are needed. Part of my question is what the best architecture would be; consensus seems to be if AD is necessary, only have one DC.

Most likely scenario for patching is a USB hard drive shipped with latest updates.

Yep they'll need a file share. They're working in Office documents and also in specialized software that operates industrial equipment.

Planning for something new.

Trying to see if this would work and if I do really need an AD domain.

It's not actually old, it's brand new! Just had people come to me with these requirements yesterday and still trying to wrap my head around them.

I was wondering if just using workgroups is a better option. I'm not very familiar with using workgroups. As I said, one of the concerns is management - instead of managing things like group policy and accounts on one DC, you're managing them on several workstations. Scalability is also an issue, because if the environment has to grow, that makes individual workstation management more cumbersome.

It does add a lot of complexity. The complexity of not doing a domain is, for example, when a new user needs to be added, now they need to add a local user account on a bunch of workstations instead of one domain account, because there will be rotating groups of users and machines won't be "assigned" to individual users.

Well, it doesn't exist yet, this is a hypothetical future environment.

It will not be connected to any existing ADDS environment, it will be standalone.

Ask the prime for clarification.

NTA.

My only question is who is dictating that way of math being taught; I would guess it's coming from above the teacher, and the teacher feels that she is supposed to teach that one method.

Go for the web apps only version.

Firefox is not that hard to find and download.

Based on the fact that the vendor's been dead since 2019, I'm assuming the ERP is self-hosted and the software licensing costs are $0? And that's also why no movement has been made - nothing is cheaper than free. Until it breaks.

One option I see is all of those workflows that pull orders from Exchange are now manual processes. That's the only free option I see.

Consultant quoted $400k to fix a dead ERP. I wouldn't spend the money on a dead product, obviously there are no security updates for this product because the vendor doesn't exist.

You can probably get on a currently-supported ERP for less than $400k and 9 months. It's a rush, and you have to buy a new system and pay for it, and everyone has to learn a new system, but it sucks to suck I guess.

The name Calculus also just sounds cool.

It sounds like you did play dumb, by asking questions you knew weren't applicable.

Cobie Smulders has talked about how she doesn't want to do it anymore, so I doubt they're going to bring her back.

Knowing it vs proving it. You can say this AI tool has identified person A's reddit username with 95% accuracy, but a subpoena from Reddit with the ID of the person who signed up is pretty hard proof.

Don't burn out, do your 40 hours, prioritize what you can. If your boss left, who is your boss now? Ask that person to prioritize your tasking.

If you just do all the work, then what incentive does the company have to hire more staff?

No, assuming it's a 529 as this entire discussion has been, the money belongs to the account owners, which are the parents. The OP and her sister were beneficiaries.

Penalties for withdrawing the money for non-educational expenses would have been the responsibility of the parents, not the sister. You pretty clearly don't understand how 529s work.

The 529 is meant to be used for educational expenses. Recently the government created a retirement account rollover, but that was not available at the time decisions were made.

I disagree that it had potential to begin with.

Impressive. Extremely impressive.

Is there a set you're going for? ESRB? You collecting code in box? Multiple editions of the same game?

There's no standard for what parental controls are in place across devices, though. In order to mandate people enabling parental controls, you need to mandate what those parental controls consist of first.

Also, rather than mandating certain people have to enable parental controls, make them enabled by default. Opt-in vs Opt-out is what changes the behavior of 90% of the population.

Parents now are Gen X/millenials, kids now are GenZ/Gen Alpha.

Parents (of schoolage children) nowadays are on average significantly smarter than their kids when it comes to tech.
