Everything feels like it's just going backwards. The internet is a horrible place, IT in general is a cesspit and ignorance can only get us so far.
I've been working in IT now for 29 years. Obviously things have a changed a lot, some for the better, much not, and this is probably the modern equivalent of "In my day, this was all fields...". And the one thing that inspired me to write this down, other than a change of medication for "anxiety" for the first time in 20 years is trying to just
Good Afternoon,
The school that I am a technician of uses Iris Biostore as our Cashless catering system.
Unfortunately the screen on one of our Balance checkers has been damaged.
We have had a quote from Iris who want £600 to replace the unit!
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any third party suppliers that sell the balance checker housing/or has a spare checker that they no longer require that would be kind enough to donate to us.
Unfortunately there is no make and model of the
Recently I encountered the problem of creating a multiboot flash device: I needed different operating systems on one usb. There was a way out to buy another flash drive, which I will definitely do next time, but I was too lazy to go out and go get it and I read that doing this on one device is quite possible.
When I encountered difficulties, I registered on this wonderful forum and want to do something like a brief review of the programs that I used. I would like to take this opportunity to th
Hi all,
For the last few months I have been getting an increased amount of spam / markeking emails from companies wanting to sell the school services or products. Even had a few random calls last week. At the moment I just delete them and ignore. But want to know if anyone actually bothers replying to these kind of cold call emails telling them to not email again.
If so, do you just say your not interested - or do you go down the route of saying you wont do business with them if they contac

Surely there must be a better way to resolve this dispute?
Education Software Solutions (ESS) has asked the High Court to intervene in a row that risks disruption at 1,100 state schools in Northern Ireland.
Capita sold the SIMS software to ESS, set up by the private equity firm Montagu, for £400m in 2020 as part of chief executive Jon Lewis’s efforts to reduce a £1.1bn debt burden. The outsourcer continued to provide the software to schools in Northern Ireland under licence, but ESS claims

On 22 December 2022, Bromcom Computers PLC (Bromcom) won a landmark High Court case involving United Learning Trust that has important implications for the way in which public procurement contracts are tendered for and awarded. The court case involved one of the largest tenders to date for the provision of cloud-based Management Information System to UK schools.
In bringing this case, Bromcom wanted to highlight the need for fair and best practice in the procurement process for Management Inf

Can anyone recommend a good Parents’ Evening App in order to run parents’ evenings. For the last 2 years we have been using MS Bookings which works ok but a bit clunky.
Anyone using anything like SchoolCloud or Parents Bookings?
Cheers

In the fun new world of lockdowns, pandemics and remote work sometimes you want to share a whole screen you don't have. Perhaps a quiz PowerPoint you want to share but keep your only monitor for managing the call and chat. What you really need is a virtual screen, in older versions of Windows there was a way to force a phantom VGA output
but that has been removed.
Luckily Windows 10 added Indirect Display Drivers(IDD) which allow you to add a virtual monitor to your system without any ad
