Lenovo is at the top of the enterprise devices game right now. I always say they operate in cycles and usually each brand trades every 2 years who is at number one.

I still will always shit on HP. And HPE Aruba switches are absolutely trash.

Pussy in bio ☝️☝️☝️👅

A cyber truck had a major malfunction and stopped working because it went into a car wash without being in “car wash” mode. The joke is that Cybertrucks cannot get wet.

Spend 5 minutes on any HS campus during passing period and you’ll see that it’s correct to say capture.

Blink twice if Apple is forcing you to read this article. Otherwise you could just keep scrolling if you don’t care that much?

Maybe a company that has (mostly) made consoles isn’t exactly playing games or has people on staff on the executive level that play(ed) on a PC. I’m 30 and outside of a brief time I tried to play on a PC I’ve pretty much been console my entire life. My first gaming experiences were all on console. It’s completely logical for a company to make a move like this when they have specialized in one area for a time.

Good news, it’s surrounded by water! Bad news, it’s surrounded by water. 😡

I think Google just sent out a memo to all apps pulling the YouTube API to start showing ads or they’d slow their services and potentially stop them.

Story

They’re running Android (Google) TV

No browser, likely app based (hence the TV)

You could theoretically run a PiHole, but I don’t believe that works too well on YouTube anymore. Especially considering the tight integration Google utilizes for their ad services with their non-paid services.

Probably about half. 😅

I’ve worked in education for 12 years and it’s been a shit show the entire time. We even say in education that high school drama carries onto the staff.

Somehow I feel like you haven’t read the news in the last 72 hours…

That’s quitter talk. Give the machine more gas for the ass (chair). The chair only needs to be stable for a while anyways. It’s here for a good time, not a long time.

Even at 2500 that’s insanely cheap. You could print a brand new toilet when yours breaks. You could create furniture for guests custom fitted to their unique ass right as they enjoy a party. It’s beautiful

I don’t know where you live, or what reality you’re choosing to live in, but that’s just such a bad take. I live in liberal ass California right in the thick of it. I have plenty of black and white (among others) friends, fat friends, and gay friends. The only thing I’ve ever had some things around word choice is when someone identifies as a different gender. Even then I’ve called people by their wrong gender and they’ve politely corrected me and I change it.

I think they just took two screen shots and put them together but with the one about iOS 17.3.1 being overlayed slightly on the other.

As opposed to completely unmanaged devices with software and hardware that I have zero idea what exploits are available for it?

If it’s because you’ve had some dumbass BYOD policy then that’s a you problem. I always tell my users to not put company policies on their private devices. On company devices, and especially government, I want my capacity to control my domain better.

I worked in the SysAdmin side of education and we frequently use Verkada. It has all the options you listed, and then some like license plate detection, person of interest detection and others. It has options for cellular install as well, and cameras like PTZ, domes, and bullets.

Commercial displays cost more because backlight testing and ratings double or triple. You’re paying more for longer uptime since your display is likely to run 12+ hours a day straight and not for 1-2 hours a day with an occasional 8+ hour usage. You’re also paying actual cost, but a lot of it really has to do with testing and materials that are built to survive consistent and frequent usage, plus centralized management. Lots of people assume it’s the same shit, but it’s completely different and it shows when you buy a consumer off the shelf display and put it in production.

Supervised mode gives you basically all the cool options post IOS 12. That said, it’s been about 4 years since I’ve done any of that registration stuff and I know it changed a lot during the pandemic. So it could be easier now.

Configurator if you have a MacOS device already and want the OG. Plus it does allow for device supervision. Although you may have to register as an enterprise system for that. That’s really going to be the key thing here as last time I recall signing my org up for MDM we had to provide tax documents.

Apple uses JAMF, and their prices are so low and it’s so easy that for strictly Apple devices I’d go that route. I do believe there is an on prem version of Jamf as well, but you still pay yearly for it.

There’s also Hexcloud, whatever VMware is calling there’s now, and technically sccm can do device MDM.

Main benefits come from supervised mode. On iPads you can enable multi user support with sign in. You can remove access to messaging or other apps, but beyond that the differences between MDM and parental locks aren’t as wide.
