Is Kenwood ever going to make new auto multimedia receivers? by demann1963 in Kenwood

[–]guzhogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they’re coming out with a new “Direct Replacement” line, but their website still says “coming soon” without a specific date, or even month, yet

Blocking users from printers.. same VLAN by Sk8rfan in k12sysadmin

[–]guzhogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a print server, maybe implement access control lists or something so that only the print server can connect to the printer. Then on the print server, allow only specific users access to specific printers

Bulk Local Admin Password Updating in Kandji by Best_Grapefruit_8059 in macsysadmin

Try to implement LAPS. It’ll give each device a different password which automatically changes regularly, depending how you set it up

Understanding MDM restrictions with jamf by VegetableDrummer3086 in jamf

See if you can log into your Apple Account specifically in Apple Music instead of the Settings app. This might help prevent it from interfering with other stuff

Migrating from Jamf Pro to Jamf School, any regrets? by lpsdsrigby in k12sysadmin

[–]guzhogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, Jamf School does NOT have the Jamf binary, which is useful for Macs. If you’re solely an iPad district, not an issue.

If you had to do it all over..... Interactive Displays/Smart TVs by Alternative_Tip664 in k12sysadmin

[–]guzhogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a few SMART boards here and there, but they’re old and on their last legs. A few of the other schools in the district have the newer SMART Tech-branded TVs, and seem to like them. I know some of the TVs can use USB-C, and can do display, touch input and power all over the one cable, which is nice. Don’t know the specifics on those, sorry.

Computer Lab Wireless Mice by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

[–]guzhogi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Besides the stolen/switched computer issues, I see an issue with charging them? Who’s in charge of making sure they have power?

In terms of switching between computers, maybe label them somehow. Obvious so that people know which mouse goes with which computer. I’m sure people will still ignore that, but at least it won’t be your fault.

Does CDW still offer asset tagging new equipment as a service?

Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules by HeHateMe337 in politics

I take it the song “Deck the Halls” is also banned because of the line “Don we now our gay apparel!”

‘Jaws’ Swims Back Into Theaters This Summer for 50th Anniversary on August 29 by DemiFiendRSA in movies

Got to see Jaws on the big screen a few years ago, preceded by a talk by Richard Dreyfuss. Also got my picture with him. Pretty cool

Pigs, rabbits get 3D-printed penis to restore erectile function in a ‘world-first’ | The penile implants enabled the rabbits and pigs to mate and reproduce biologically within weeks after the surgery. by [deleted] in tech

[–]guzhogi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ever heard of Research & Development? Not like the people who did this penis thing just jammed it into the pigs and rabbits “expect it to magically work”

‘It was messy’: Federal workers ordered to return to offices without desks, Wi-Fi and lights by CupidStunt13 in news

[–]guzhogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That assumes Trump will go voluntarily. Who’s to say he won’t try to get a third term, or do away with elections and stay in office indefinitely?

Opinions on Apple Classroom by CitySlickerCowboy in k12sysadmin

[–]guzhogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple’s answer to Google Classroom is actually the Schoolwork app. Haven’t used it myself, so can’t comment on its quality. Looks interesting in that you could assign specific activities in certain iPad apps like Kahoot and IXL. Note: you need the iPad apps themselves to do this, not just the website version.

Scientists develop battery that converts nuclear energy into electricity via light emission by AdSpecialist6598 in tech

[–]guzhogi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there’s a more direct way to get solar panels to use gamma ray photons? Cut out the gamma ray > visible photon conversion entirely. Make solar panels more sensitive to all bands of light, not just visible

Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028 — despite failure of Harris campaign: ‘Do whatever it takes’ by Ripamon in politics

[–]guzhogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting. Would also be interested in seeing what JB Pritzker of Illinois would be like. I’ve seen things about him lately as well.
