So what batch command would I need to get 'tasklist' (Please note; I am not great with batch commands)

Rolling out a bring your own device scheme and then making school WiFi 5 GHz only. No wonder that didn't take off.

Through the windows command prompt... No need for admin rights...

I can't remember if there were Linux equivalents since it's been years since I used Linux with a command line interface...

Except for some really bad PCs in the lobby, I don't see all that much wrong...

Maybe some new projector bulbs would be in order.

Literally nothing, they set up their own server which runs everything related to the school, and we have a huge IT support (and a buttload of IT students). The only bad thing might be that the servers have reached their cap and expanding it would be quite nice.

Also we get free codes for Windows, Dreamweaver, Office and a lot of other things, power plugs are everywhere and routers are in every room so WiFi works like a charm.

Barely usable wifi, crappy displays

[Extingquish]

My school disables start task manager and control panel, even though you can access bios and network settings through proxy settings in chrome

Same, but literally everything is locked down, even the default homepage  :angry:  BIOS I understand why it's locked, and same with the proxies, anyone who doesn't know a thing about networking will most likely manage to break it and waste "technicians" time Sucks for people who actually want to get some work done without being pushed around by a proxy designed by a 7 year old (Like even art websites are blocked, and as a result some of my friends weren't able to do their homework)

 

EDIT: A 7 year old could probably do better

I work on my schools tech dpt. And we have some random HP's with core i5 4440s,integrated graphics 2500, and win 7 pro. The cad pcs are some random dell xps's with Hazwell i7s, not sure what model number they are but they also have AMD firepros, not sure of the specifics of that card either. There mostly used for video rendering and graphic design stuff.

I went to school in the Beige era, be grateful young humans.

[TheMagDude]

OMG @Dude do you live here ind brønderslev(Denmark) because THAT IS THE EXCAT problem we have here! All though im not sure if the Win7 is priated.

lol, freshmen year of high school, in my programming class, 1/4 of the room had 24inch 1080P screens, and I7 machines. I Was on that side all year:D the rest had old pentiums from 2006. actually the 8 or so computer labs all had pentiums and celerion computers from 2006ish. 

 

last year, replaced everything with brand new Imacs(the thin ones) ew, but still nice. rest of the computers are I5, 16gb of ram, and gtx 640s. like their is a literal couple hundred of those machines thougout the school. its great. every room has a smartboard.

 

the only mistake is their is wifi thoughout the school. so during 4th hour, the normal 60mb down/80mb up we had freshmen year because we didnt have to share the wifi with every school device, drops to near unusable because of all the kids at lunch. 

[KamiKatze]

My school uses VHS cassetes and overhead projectors 'made in west germany'.

[mr.skyrim_pc]

What does my school do wrong? They get those crap Samsung chrome books!

[ManWithBeard1990]

The guy who developed AES encryption works at my university. beat that. Also, we have six laser cutters for the students to use in school- and open source projects.

EDIT: Clearly didn't read the last word of the title. Lol. The online learning platform though is so complicated I really don't understand it at all. and I'm far from stupid. Also they tell students who have been trying to improve it to back off before they get expelled.

We don't have wifi only teachers can use it. We got a new school principal and he's atcing like hes a baus. Ohh, I'm going to show him how to be a baus by crashing every my schools wifi.

College upgrading all the switches to CAT6 but still use CAT5 cabling.

Err... Switches don't care what cat version is connecting to it, only the baud rate. Cat 6 is just more insulated, so it can travel farther with less interference

[Tocsin_786]

they have core i3's for rendering premiere. at least bump it to a i5
