synaesthesia

Oooooh that's a good shout - as it's only search traffic that does fit the bill. Cheers!

This is just general student usage, no admin login present. I'll do a bit more testing & digging later and raise a case. (I'm currently swearing at Monitor whilst auditing devices )

Indeed, but at least we've usually got a reasonable solution to a symptom where we haven't got a hope in hell's chance of fixing the initial problem. The latter requires parents that parent, the banning of energy drinks & vapes, corporal punishment and social media. Let's stick to the cameras

Gives a new meaning to getting glassed down the pub

Idex across the board, directory diags all pass with flying colours. Forgot to mention, I noted about the chrome running as admin as we'd had that a few times that it was authenticating as the system user for a short while before picking up as the logged in user. That did get resolved though.

Just found something a little disconcerting - some users filtering requests are going through as unauthenticated IPs despite being successfully authenticated. The logs show some results coming through unauthenticated IPs, others with usernames attached. This appears to be via Chrome, but can't confirm if it happens with other browsers as yet. Have one instance where the same result at exactly the same time reports with and both without the username, as if a simultaneous search is made from the IP separate to the user. Not a major issue on it's own as long as the user is reported but there's more than one occasion where it's not, and it's only the unauthed IP showing in reports. Any clues where to start on this?

I'd be an advocate for them in behavioural hubs in schools and AP units.

Best service I've had in the past is Wave9, an easy recommendation.

Until the states sorts out their gun laws (i.e. it implodes on itself and they start again from roughly the bronze age) they'll never have enough cameras.

I can see it happening more widely. From policy and privacy perspectives, it raises some interesting questions that if anything make it *less* risky. For example, there's a good argument to say that having CCTV covering and live monitoring an area that is a) publicly accessible on your property or b) already visible, such as your reception area is less intrusive. Body cams would fall very much under this and knocks the points down a bit from the intrusiveness scale. However at the same time, generally speaking bodycams are a bit closer to video doorbells in function, complete with audio which you need to ensure is fully covered in an extensive DPIA and detailed clearly in policy. I don't think I'd have any trouble writing one up for this case, even though it does irk me somewhat that bodycams would have to be necessary in the first place. Also plenty you can do to make it less risky as far as personal data is concerned - the majority will work like your dashcam, on a rolling loop and very little actual retention unless the button is pressed to save whatever happened in the last few minutes. Perhaps you could set them up so they only record when specifically activated. Again, I don't like the idea that we might need such tech just like extensive CCTV, however these days we have to protect ourselves, our colleagues, our pupils and our property. People can moan about it as much as they like, but they're not the ones on the receiving end of some of what we put up with on a daily basis.

3 months sounds about right for any other support call with them tbh

That's an odd one. No charge for CPOMS for us, and it was literally instant (well, overnight). That was just a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty much sums it all up when the only real good thing anyone says is "bacon rolls"

Just don't go near the Lenovo V series. If you can get decent pricing the HP Elite/Probooks are easy to service and also have all service procedures available in writing or on videos provided by HP. (thanks, right to repair!) Refurbs are definitely great value for money, then you can spec up and get something more robust than you might usually be able to afford. Just make sure that if new batteries are provided, they should be OEM quality and not 3rd party like 2-Power. (guaranteed spicy pillows)

I cut my teeth in edu on CC3 & 4 - likewise with SIMS though. Similar outcomes, both dead in the water!

Just... why? What purpose could it possibly serve that isn't already either outdated or replaced with other low or no cost products possibly already part of systems already in use by schools?

Shame really, I think AI would have been more likely to create some actually interesting articles and headlines, because news editors and journalists certainly can't. A headline is no longer a headline, it's paper-based clickbait.

Good luck.

Aha, that explains a lot! Same with us, first day live with Bromcom!

That would explain the old head teacher's name being on the pack at least!

Is that in Zimbabwe?

Well, this looks amusingly bonkers

It's just a website so just checking for access to that? But the question is - it's anonymous for a reason, do you want to break the whole idea of trust with this?

Cheers Tom. It's a bit of a peeve of mine courtesy nearly entirely of HP who's idea of a content management system is akin to a teenager's bedroom

Just to reiterate, this is relevant only to *new* OEM systems, not things already in place. I can't imagine any of us buying anything new that isn't current or at least the one previous gen. There is a market, oddly, for new old stock products and you'll only ever see it in edu in cases of some legacy equipment such as building control systems, heating systems, maybe CNC/laser cutters.
