  1. Of course, the chances of someone being unmasked and being unvaccinated are incredibly high. So you're caring for them more than they are caring for themselves. It's quite sad some people have whipped themselves up into this frenzy about "big pharma" making profits by listening to some A grade cranks, but have completely forgot about the opportunities that "big coffin" have had.
  2. Some people look at the housing market and petrol and food prices and worry about how to make ends meet.
  3. So I assume you're using GADs and password sync? https://support.google.com/a/answer/2611859?hl=en#zippy= In theory, Wonde should work just fine for SSO only, as it's literally going to match up Workspace accounts with third parties, whilst GADS and Password Sync do the user creation and password management side.
  4. That wage vs the job spec... Wow. :tsk:
  5. Isn't it a Microsoft Store application now?
  6. In the context of what we are talking about... Then yes, this guy is a scammer who knew exactly what he was attempting. This is why I find Manchester United being shirt sponsored by TeamViewer this year hilarious, because most UK ISPs just block it outright now, due to it's close association with scammers.
  7. "Wait for the service pack" as we used to say
  8. This was my single biggest annoyance. Netsweeper was like being shackled, then releasing them with Lightspeed - and as soon as we ran away from the shackles we ended up being clamped in other pair. It's a truly inferior product, for me. Really grated me that (at the time I'm not responsible for this now due to a different job) we'd finally signed up to a solution I was happy with, to find we were back to square one. Especially as we weren't Windows only, and it really only worked in Windows environments (and still to this day, isn't great with anything other than Windows)
  9. If someone says "Let me connect with Teamviewer" they know EXACTLY what they're doing.
  10. Almost certainly not. They are smart enough to know how to cripple people's computers and ask for money to fix them. That's what they usually get up to.
  11. It can yes, but that is the balancing act. I am actually looking at turning it on for certain carts, once they're back in their right places post bubble, to do a bit of testing and see what happens. Our carts are a bit of a wild mess currently!
  12. No. No. No. Do not do this. Dear God, no. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-44371759
  13. We do yes. Previously, it was recommended to use Erase Local Data when with shared devices, so I don't know why they've changed that advice. Chrome OS doesn't seem to handle older profiles as gracefully as Google think. The thing is, I can understand it if its an assigned shared device between 3 or 4 people, but when its a lottery and students might only get the same device once every 6 months or so (if they're lucky) then I'd stick to erasing local data. The only time we don't do this, is in 1:1 setups.
  14. This is a DPO job though. I would generally agree that the data should stay within the controller remit here, and that they should use school accounts. However, ultimately you implement what you're asked to do - but you should also make sure you get anything in writing so they can't try and deflect the blame when they decide to go against best practice. After all, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57642791
  15. Who would be expected to respond to a SAR? Do the LA provide DPOs or do the school have to provide their own?
  16. I don't know who tol you that is it a GDPR requirement. It's not. It's a requirement of the CAB Forum, which is the industry group of Certificate Authorities. You've got 825 days/27 months. 24 months + 3 months carry over when renewing your previous certificate) SSL/TLS certificates are now 398 days. All browsers will reject any SSL/TLS certificates that are older than that too. It's nothing to do with GDPR, its a change in the industry standard to improve security.
  17. No shirt, no shoes, no service. No seatbelt, no insurance. No insurance, breaking the law. Businesses have every right to refuse a customer for not doing something they require, outside of the things protected by the law. I know one numpty that works in schools thats refusing masks, thinks Covid is a government lie, won't take a jab etc... and now won't shop in Waterstones. Guess who I'm going to pop into later and buy a book from?
  18. Personally, for a single day I'd get the IP address and dump it in the DMZ
  19. We don't do GCDS, so if that's you too (or anyone) I'd do the update by spreadsheet to be honest. Really quick to filter by OU and just populate every student.
  20. Becuase everyone has seen what's happened with the phishing campaigns at schools over the pandemic period, and has started to set them up, basically. Think about signing up for NCSC Mail Check too: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/mailcheck Well, certainly Google are more vocal about setting them up than Microsoft are, which probably means Gmail organisations are probably more likely to have them switched on. We know Exchange isn't exactly famed for it's security.
  21. Because you don't have DKIM, DMARC and SPF setup. What's happening here is that your email setup is basically presenting itself as a potential threat, so it's being treated as such by email services.
  22. Tap the pencil icon and show the editor.
  23. To be fair in 2010 or so when a significant number of headteachers got drawn into Apple like magpies to shiny things, the same issue occurred. I've had plenty of time to be converting people away. It truly is the worst part of Microsoft Office. I'd be very surprised if they keep it in the long term, as it really hasn't been given any attention for a decade.
  24. Not heard of them before, but they seem to have managed to get some big contracts like Iceland, England Rugby League, Caerphilly Borough Council, Betfred and the RSPB. And you know what they say.... How do schools in Bedwas do their procurement? Caerphilly...
