     I'm not sure why I'm surprised, as this is the same crack IT team that issued what I assume to be thousands of student windows laptops configured for centrally pushing updates but then didn't actually, you know, push updates, instead asking students to periodically run windows update manually, where it says none available until you click "check online for updates" to have it call home instead of whatever server they configured.
     This is also why it's on my guest network.

     Printer problems that for once aren't the printer's doing:
     Kid: I need to print this thing from my school laptop
     Me: Hm, that's on the guest network (where I put stuff I don't personally manage) so it may not see the printer, but I thought I fixed that.
     *Tries to add printer, discovers that's disabled by school IT*
     Ok, maybe we can just plug into the printer on USB & Windows will figure it out?
     Windows *does nothing*
     F it, here's a thumb drive, save it on here & I'll print it from our computer.
