r/ipad•

My company proposes and manages energy service projects like lighting retrofits and controls and HVAC and building energy efficiency projects. We project manage the construction to completion so we have a lot of subs that we use and want to provide iPads for them to use while on our jobs. What is the best way to set these up so it locks them down to update spreadsheets and use any software we want them to use, but not be able to do anything else on them?

Should we just set them up like for a child? Should we set them up and enable guided access? Is there a good way to set them up for a business? I want them to be able to set them up in a way that it makes it incredibly simple to naviga

Just had four roses small batch and I thought it was really smooth at over 50% ABV. What are some good Bourbons that have a simar smoothness I can likely get at Total wine or a good liquor store?

r/FOXNEWS•

I usually go to fox news online and I used to go to personalities and select Chris Wallace and then all his most recent content will come up. Now every time I try to find the most recent Chris Wallace content its really hard to get it. I get tons of stuff from years ago. Even sorting on time frames during the sort feature I can't get it. Is he being silenced or is this just terrible web page development?

Ok, so I've been trying to screen mirror with my iPad mini gen 5 during zoom conferences so I can display on the big screen and use the mic and camera on my iphone. The issue is this creates a terrible echo if I don't disable the sound on my TV. If I disable the sound on the TV I am not able to get any sound at all and can only view video. Is there some way I can set up my iPad to be used for mic and sound and have my TV sound be off?

Alternatively, is there a way I can hook a webcam up to my FireTV or TV so that I can use that for a zoom meeting or other conference platform?

I feel like all the components should be there, but there just isn't something in place that can allow them al

r/ImpeachmentWatch•

I generally check on Fox to see how they are coloring the facts as I seem them. Usually I check on Chris Wallace, because he actually seems to be a good reporter with conservative leanings. During the impeachment he was on tons of shows and had tons of clips early on, but ever since his most recent few where he admonished a colleague for being wrong on the facts and another where he admonished conservatives for turning on Jon Bolton, he hasn't been anywhere.

Considering he is one of their top reporters and the impeachment trial was so significant, I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have lots of air time discussing the trial, yet, there are no more videos or anything I can find of him

I bought a Dell USB 3.0 Ultra HD/4K Triple Display Docking Station (D3100) so my wife and I and anyone who needed to could easily connect to the monitor, keyboard and mouse in our home office.

I connected the monitor to the Dell Docking station and connected it via HDMI. I connected my surface pro 3 via the USB cord that connects to the dock port on the docking station and all worked fine for me. My computer was able to display and the mouse and keyboard worked.

My wife has an HP elite book that her work provides. At work she uses the specific docking station that HP makes for that pc. However, we don't want to have to have multiple docking station so at home.

Long story short, I co

r/HelpMeFind•

I bought a 27" curved Samsung monitor that has a white back. The model code is LC27F591FDNXZA. My office desk is not against a wall so the cords show. I am trying to hide them, but the black chord it came with really sticks out still. I have tried to find a white version of the Samsung power adapter that came with it.

The adapter is a 45W/14v/3.22A output with a 100-277v input at 50/60hz and 1.0A.

The model number is A4514_FPN.

Any help would be appreciated. I've looked, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Hoping someone here may know something I don't.

r/nestproducts•

I have a very old thermostat system in my house. It's 3 zones, but baseboard radiant heat in each zone. My house also has one cooling zone where Central cooling was added throughout the house after the fact so it is completely seperate.

I figure I will need 4 nest thermostats to control my house. 1 for each heating zone and 1 for the cooling zone. Is it possible for all the thermostats to.work together so they all control the cooling zone so they don't fight with the cooling zone and so they can all have input into the cooling zone?

Also, are there smart ceiling vents I can get to help create some subzones to the cooling cooling zone?

Id like to stay with nest so I have the same eco

I work for a very small company of just 12 people. When I got there we had a computer that acted like a shared drive that everyone had a computer physically on site that they remoted into in order to reach the shared drive.

It was terrible and horribly outdated, but it allowed everyone to simply use file explorer and drag and drop all their files easily.

Since we were only using the drive as a shared drive for files there was no reason not to move to the cloud. From a personal perspective I used dropbox and I liked that I was able to map the dropbox drive as a drive in file explorer so I could just drag and drop files without having to check them in and out.

We currently are using M

r/HomeNetworking•

I would like to set up a home wireless network that does not rely on the cable modem we rent from xfinity. The xfinity modem does include 2 voice lines that we would like to keep. So what I am trying to do is figure out all the devices I would need in order to replicate that router and then set up my new network. I would like to set up a mesh network with 2 eero devices to start. So my questions are as follows:

  1. Should I keep the the xfinity combination modem/wifi router/voice hub and just turn off the wifi radio? Would I then just connect the eero and set up my network and call it a day?

  2. Should I get rid of the xfinity combo unit completely and get my own modem, wifi router, a

r/education•

I was just watching Niel DeGrasse Tyson's interview on Conan and I had an idea I think would be interesting for teachers in many classes, but especially history and science to use in class.

At the beginning of the year tell your students you will from time to time purposely say untrue things. The expectation is that students will do their own critical thinking and use the scientific method and logic to determine the facts.

Obviously, the things that are said need to have demonstrable evidence of truth, but I think it could be a good way to make sure kids are utilizing critical thinking.

Maybe this should be part of a critical thinking class, but I think it is important in this day and ag

r/sharepoint•

Our company is small and we have a shared drive that we migrated to sharepoint a few years ago. The total size of the data on sharepoint is probably in the 50gb to 100gb range. We have noticed 2 really annoying issues of late:

  1. Excel crashing when multiple excel files are opened at once.

  2. A message when opening a file that says "a newer version of this file is available want to open it?" where saying yes just closes the file opens it again and gives the same message. The only way around this is to cancel the notification and save the file as a new file and upload that file to the drive.

We also would really like to use sharepoint more like a mapped drive than an online collabo

r/iphone•

So, in the last week or so my inbox for my microsoft exchange account on my iPhone constantly shows 1 unread message. There is no unread message and when I go to find the unread messages, its not there. I have tried marking all as unread and then read, I have reset the program, I have reset my phone and nothing has worked. Also, its strange that while it shows an unread message when I am in the microsoft exchange account on my phone, it does not show up as a read bubble over my email app.

Has anyone seen this? Is there some way to fix it? I'm not generally OCD, but its driving me mad. Help me reddit...you're my only hope.
