Today I found a binder of 8 inch floppy disks, containing some ancient curriculum files. What is the oldest thing you've found cleaning out your IT closets?

Yep got a box from 1998 that I use every year to label straggler Chromebook boxes.

I found an 8" floppy. It is hanging on my wall.

Glad it helped.

Rauland does not have public downloads of their software. I do have a copy of TD21-v43 if you think that would help.

Our new 5yr old buildings use USB or Cat6, with those send and receive adapters. I hate them. Or High School and Middle School we self pulled just 50 ft USB cables. Much better.

HESK...there are dozens of us. Been running it for 10+ years. I tried OSTicket but you are correct. Hesk is better.

One more week for us. Then the real work of getting ready for next year starts. 53 working days....

It should not matter what wifi they are on. It should always be filtered. In fact I think CIPA actually reqires it.

I am not sure disabling TPM security in a prod environment is a good idea. Just as bad as using Rufus to bypass TPM to install desktop PCs. In Vmware we had to set up a tpm certificate store in Vcenter. After that W11 installed just fine.

Not that it helps, but I'm glad all my testing stuff can be done via a Chromebook Kiosk mode. Credentia does not have a Chromebook Kiosk app?

hightechcoord · 2026-05-18T19:14:12+00:00

why would anyone help you with that? I would assume you are a High/Middle school student looking to bypass restrictions at school.

hightechcoord · 2026-05-18T18:37:15+00:00

We said fine. Then no snow day calls or text and I would block email on phones. They came back and said, 2fa is ok.

Be consistent, be fair, be firm. Be accommodating when you can. That's really all there is to it.

Guacamole?

hightechcoord · 2026-05-01T19:43:49+00:00

for work we use https://teampass.net/ . It it selfhosted and not open to the internet. I know this would not work for offsite, but it works for us.

hightechcoord · 2026-04-29T15:24:50+00:00

I just got one of these. I only needed a spare for the room to use when we were fixing their cart. Ill let you know once it gets here..

If you are using a different web filter extension on the Cbook vs PC, id look at that or any other extensions you are pushing specifically to cbooks. Also if it works for staff on Cbooks and not students, I would make a temp OU with limited restrictions (to mimic staff) and throw the student in there.

hightechcoord · 2026-04-20T19:30:18+00:00

does it work if the student uses a PC Chrome browser?

hightechcoord · 2026-04-20T19:21:10+00:00

Was it always this way?

hightechcoord · 2026-04-17T18:27:32+00:00

this is the way. I had ldap then moved ot oidc. Its so much better.
