meatpimp posted:This kinda makes sense... I just bought a bunch of Unifi stuff, so it goes to figure that they'd gently caress up right after. Seems like if you're not using the cloud management capability it doesn't really matter. How they handled things is very disappointing and concerning but I don't know what I would switch to so welp.

Alarbus posted:What the gently caress. You know, High School should be longer... but some Freshmen have brains. I started out teaching at a state University. When I was there, I noticed a decline in the aptitude of the students. When I moved here about 15 years ago, I started at a Community College. I have seen a lot. I know that home-schooled students are a couple years, plus, ahead of their peers. I know that some kids will flake out, regardless of the class. I know to never say "I've seen it all," because there's always something new and strange in student behavior. But the pandemic really hosed things up. The College I work for now found out that when all students are remote, they can pack each "class" with 25 students and pay the instructor the same money. This makes their scheduling SO much easier. Instead of structuring for time/day of the week/instructor availability, they just dynamically offer classes as they fill. It's total bullshit and anti-educational. On the student side, it has confirmed every suspicion I've had about online classes. The students don't care and only do the basics, if that. Like I said, the plagiarism is rampant and untraceable. Worse than that, though, is the "class" they are taking is only a fraction of what "College" is. A lot of what "College" is involves waking up on time, managing to get to class (through traffic complications or walking across campus, or whatever), ALONG with the actual class work, then doing the work and being ready for whatever is thrown at you in the classroom itself. Hell, I'm known for giving "quizzes" which consist of me saying "It's Tuesday, what day is it?" and grading their answers... in effect, it's just an attendance quiz that I strategically dispense, but those are the things you have to deal with in the real world -- consequences. When you remove the "in person" portion of class, you remove a lot of what "class" is. tl;dr: online college is bullshit. At this point, they may as well just have students pay for credits and collect those credits in 15 weeks. "Teaching" at the college / university level does not happen online.

This is why I hate online classes. I need the face to face instructor time, I need the collaboration with other students, I need the actual structure of waking up and getting my rear end to class on time, I need to be able to talk to my instructor one on one when I have questions or have difficulty. Emails only go so far, and if you guys haven't figured it out by now, I tend to get very... wordy... and... long winded... in online communication.  Face to face, I get straight to the point, and usually go into office hours with a list of questions prepared. I don't want to waste the instructor's time, and I don't want to make other students wait.I do absolutely HORRIBLE in online classes - I don't think I've ever had higher than a C in one. Face to face? Solid As with an occasional B. I want to go back to college (just Austin CC), partly to take a couple of photography classes to brush up, partly to maybe learn a trade, but (a) even community college is fairly expensive now and (b) there's not much face to face interaction happening at the moment. Your classes have ~20-25 students? Even at community colleges, that was a fairly small class for me. I had a few 400+ student classes once I was in a university (even at a CC I had a few with 50-100), and at the university level most of my classes were at least 50 until I got to degree-specific stuff. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Ok now I have a computer doozy. It's actually the one sharky gave me. It's a USB only keyboard so I got a ps2 to USB adapter but it looks like it's setup so the USB ports aren't on after post and I can't get into bios or setup to change it. What dumb thing an I doing?

Does it have a PS/2 keyboard plug on it? If not, pull the CMOS battery for a few minutes. That should reset everything to defaults, which SHOULD re-enable USB. That said, PS2 to USB can be iffy, you might want to try a native USB keyboard (cheapest one you can find at Walmart or Best Buy should be  or so) if you have it setup the way I'm thinking.My garage PC acts the same way with wireless keyboards for some reason - they use USB for the receiver, my main PC lets me into the BIOS with them just fine, but the garage PC won't initialize a wireless keyboard until it's in the boot loader (GRUB sees it fine). Wired keyboard and I'm able to get into the bios.

It's going to sound weird, but not all USB Keyboards have the PS/2 logic in them nowadays. A USB to PS/2 adaptor is just a pin rearranger. Try another, older USB Keyboard.

What kind of keyboard is it? I was trying to enter BIOs using my usb model M and couldn't get it to work. Switched to a different keyboard and had no issues.

STR posted:Does it have a PS/2 keyboard plug on it? It's actually telling me the CMOS battery is low which means probably dead. It has no ps2 connection at all but I just remembered my main computer has a USB board, totally forgot about that.

Try another, older USB Keyboard. I worded it wrong, my keyboards are PS2 and the computer is USB but I do have the one USB that should work. Hopefully I have a good 3202 or whatever the CMOS battery is, luckily it's one of those round flat replaceable ones.
