They’re locked down to hell. On the ones we’re using this week we’re basically login into individual accounts on the server via those crappy mini office PCs. Can’t/aren’t allowed to download/install anything. Even MS Office doesn’t have all features cause we’d need an MS Account.  
Some websites are also blocked (not sure if they’re using a blacklist or if they block some extensions from websites or if it’s Edge that’s even shittier than I assumed - [wowhead.com](http://wowhead.com) was displayed without images and all text was on the left side).

So until Tuesday (sick leave since yesterday cause it’s been coming out of both of my ends) I had to use Edge to browse r/askreddit (text heavy subreddit cause some image hosting sites seem to be blocked). But I’m getting really tired of it (not much new/interesting stuff every day).

edit: I’m not even sure if it’s just Windows 10 being shit or if the IT “team” is stupid but some other people in the course are having trouble using basic features (on one guy’s PC/account the Start button doesn’t work at all, so if he wants to use PowerPoint he has to search for a ppt/pptx file via the explorer, then open it, then select to create a new file). Can’t even use “Settings” to lower the cursor dpi (they’re hella sensitive and I’m using 3600 at home).

Just the IT team. Windows can be locked down to the point where you cant even use context menus ☹

Also if you have a laptop, you might ask about a BYOD (Bring your own device) policy

Same issue as with my tablet and logging in via the PCs there: no wifi and I don’t trust that network.  
Plus, just for the purpose of doing shit on the internet I’m not carrying my 15.6" laptop around. Can’t even use it for the course stuff cause I’d need MS Office and only have Fedora with LibreOffice on the laptop.

Office 365 is OS agnostic. Not quite on par with the desktop tools but its making headways.

Its windows. Not the hardest thing to get a copy of XD (Whether legitimate or not)

As long as my laptop lives I don’t want to make it suffer again with that crap.

That’s the crap with the 1y license, right? Fuck that and those idiots at MS who though this was the way to go.

That wont do it then. We need the whole package.

I meant the IT team seeing everyone’s traffic.  
They’re incompetent. Some people can’t even use their USB thumb drives to load/save their CVs, applications, etc. (and we’re supposed to work on those). And as far as competence goes, I don’t trust them with data privacy either.

Great thing about vesa mount monitor. Detach from mount on stand put monitor in original monitor box with the original foam. Put stand in separate box with screws in a ziploc. Yes I’m packing my monitors like this. It works so I’m going with it.

I could see her being good at knowing all the little niche things about using a mac but you’d kill her for anything that required the command line.
