Taking bets on which gives way first, the cable or the port. I'll give you 7:1 odds on cable giving way first.

Merijn posted:Just expire the lot and force the students change them on the next login. Sigh. If only it were that simple. Passwords are assigned by us to the kids since there are multiple, unconnected services they need credentials for, and some of the kids in question are as young as 9 so we like to keep all of their credentials for these various services the same so they have less to remember. If we let them pick their own passwords it would be chaos, and my job would be reduced to resetting passwords all day because they forgot what they changed it to 20 minutes ago.

Question for those of you who know more about the loving mess that is Microsoft's licensing. How does VM licensing work for desktop OS installs on a virtual host - ie - an older physical server running VMWare, and I want to run say 6 separate Windows 7/10 installs on it. These are not going to be remoted into/used, its just a test environment for being able to replicate specific software settings and comparing operability. So we'd only ever log on to those VM's from the host, we wouldn't be remoting into them from anything else. Would we just need regular OEM windows keys? Retail keys? Some kind of magical VM key that costs $$$$$?

Setup a KMS server and use KMS keys. Buy some Windows 10 seats from Newegg and you'll be fine if you get audited.

Siochain posted:Question for those of you who know more about the loving mess that is Microsoft's licensing. MS haven't really given anybody a nice way to do VDI licensing, probably on purpose. I think you can just buy some retail boxed copies if you want the simplest way to go about it, Volume Licenses for the Windows client are upgrades only, so you need to have OEM licenses which you can't buy just to install in a virtual environment.

Doesn't Microsoft provide testing VMs that don't need to be licensed at all? They even suggest snapshots so that you can roll back when they expire after 90 days. Do those not fit your use case or is there some licensing gotcha I'm unaware of? https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Specifically for testing configurations etc., a TechNet subscription should also give you unlimited installs of various OS versions, Office versions, and more. You just aren't allowed to use them for actual production.

nielsm posted:Specifically for testing configurations etc., a TechNet subscription should also give you unlimited installs of various OS versions, Office versions, and more. You just aren't allowed to use them for actual production. Thanks for the replies all. I was thinking Technet, but these are systems that albeit not production, are kind of going to be production. Effectively, we're trying to track some long-term data, and the software we're using does weird things if you change settings over time. So we want to configure 4 or 5 systems with varying configurations, feed data into them and then track the output over a few months. Then management can determine the "best" config. So I guess its kinda-sortof production. Might just get a few Win 7 or 10 keys from our reseller and go from there. Thanks all!

Quit your moanin' They used the mounting screws in the cable. That's what they're there for. Edit: Just realised you were refering to the drape job on the network and power cables. Agreed. Those look unsafe.

The lightswitch controlling the wireless reminds me of this "light switch" I saw a while back:   Those first three switches control the power for the PLCs that run the large, important industrial equipment in a multi-milllion dollar malting plant that produces a significant fraction of the malted grain used by some of north america's top breweries. The fourth one controls the power for that light bulb that's whiting out the frame in the first picture.
