  • Guys

    Problem solved - nope, let’s be honest worked around.

    You know that saying in Technology & Design “never update the software” with respect to CNC machines etc.?

    well it seems if I install the latest and greatest from XYZ the printer is not recognised. If I keep the original versions everything works (whatever version of windows is installed). So now I have to work out a way of stopping the auto-update…


  • I would second pdq.

    I use the free version to assist with the non gpo installable crapware the school has to use. It is restricted in what it can do but us good enough.

    For python and the like, are you sure you want that on your network on every day workstations? Most school networks have a no programming languages policy (though handwave powershell)

    We use a virtualbox vm with an immutable hard disk as a container… Semms to work OK and might be something to look at. Has the advantage that updates are simple - change to disk image.
