  1. Ah, it's Cubase with another name! I'm fairly sure our cubase install has those in program files, so unless Dorico has changed settings I'd be fairly sure they will work from anywhere - we certainly don't have profiles any more and have all those VSTS in program files. I'll take a closer look when time allows!
  2. Indeed, hence why care is needed. You can immediately write off anything that's just "JB" with no other mention in the email/thread, so you'd need to carry out the search for "Joe B" "J Bloggs" etc as well - all the email systems' built in GDPR tools will do that with ease. That will also include email threads too - at least with Office 365, you can select conversation threads so if a thread has Joe B mentioned once but JB throughout the rest of the conversation in future emails then you can pull the whole thread and redact anything that isn't relevant. You MUST make sure the requester is aware of this however and explain reasons behind it - not sure if that's a requirement of the law but it's certainly good practice/manners anyway
  3. Indeed, it is a form of obfuscation used by many - but it's a technological pitfall more than anything else. I mean, search this forum for any 2 characters and you will hit every single thread ever. It needs specialist tools i.e. regex just to get initials with a space either side and that doesn't help narrow down all the two letter words from initials. As a result. it is absolutely unenforceable.
  4. An SAR for initials alone is unworkable, you are within rights to dismiss that - however have you misunderstood - i.e. middle initials? (Joe D. Bloggs for example)
  5. Why would you include initials for an SAR? Unworkable.
  6. I may be looking at the wrong one then (companies house) - apologies if so.
  7. Looks like a one man band, barely 2 years old. Vs a very well established, proven quantity.
  8. This weekend watched: The Suicide Squad. Just as ADHD-like as the last attempt but far crazier. Definitely a James Gunn film. Some attempts at Edgar-Wright still filmography which were a little jarring to be honest, but it was a far better effort and I enjoyed the majority of it for a brain-in-neutral experience. The Hitman's Bodyguard's Wife. Absolutely loved this film. More action than the first and just as funny. LOVE the pairing of Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. Don't need an excuse to love Morgan Freeman. And just outright love Salma Hayek. Both filthy, filthy films.
  9. The name is yes, as I said. It's no longer "Portable Appliance Testing" because the portability no longer enters into the equation. And a brief look at the HSE site shows it's very much out of date.
  10. Why are testers still using the term PAT? It's no longer applicable - or is it just being used as a name now due to familiarity? There's no such thing as a PAT any more, and anyone carrying out such a test is surely doing so under false pretense?
  11. Yeah quite a few in the last couple of days, certainly that one, and another couple today for the SIMS DB Install Procedure 19098 and a permissions patch 20249. It would be so lovely if there was actually any information sent with them - on one hand we need to keep things up to date for security reasons, accuracy reasons etc, on the other we can't just blindly install something because it's appeared on a deployment system.
  12. It'll be missing the controller too. Best solution would be to use them as cloud devices.
  13. I can't fail to like Ryan Reynolds more and more. I might even have a man-crush on him. And Taiki Waititi - dang. The mayhem these could cause.
  14. You'd leave it blank with known folder moves taking care of it so the My Documents link points directly to onedrive.
  15. PS3's are reasonably reliable short of drive issues and those are usually cleaning matters - 2's and 4's were shoddy (dust ingress & overheating on both).
  16. Just do it - you can pick up PS3's for a tenner a pop with games and controllers. Our local auction house has them and PS4's in every other week and they often sell in batches of 3 for 20 quid (the ps4's usually go for about 40).
  17. Got a week left here, but with a raft of changes occuring over the summer it's a busy one! Currently we're on the first steps of migrating lock stock to 365, file wise. Wouldn't be an issue until I have to go through all the files with stupid names over 255 characters long that won't otherwise migrate. C:\I dont get\why people\feel the need\to organise\into folders\foreverylittlething\1. then decide to\2. have duplicates of those folders\3. within other folders\and then have a load of files\deep inside those folders\who's filenames were lifted from the entire\first paragraph of the file they were working on\because they couldnt\be bothered to\correctly\save\their\work.docx
  18. Click the open in sharepoint button and you can do it from within there.
  19. Won a competition to name the pit complex at Silverstone 10 years ago. At the opening, met and spoke to . Moss, Hill, Coulthard, Webber, Button, Stewart, Williams, Horner, Brawn to name a few. Sat on Hamilton's 2008 car and Senna's MP4/4. Saw Murray Walker but despite all the above names and chats, was too starstruck to talk.
  20. Catch-22 unfortunately, and a careful balancing act. If it's someone messing around with no harmful intent, it's left. If someone is really taking the biscuit, they'll be dealt with.
  21. We've used the SHARP system for years, it is anonymous if they want it to be. Yes it can lead to false positives and abuse, but after the initial spate you'd get, if you have anything like Impero or Senso you can find out who quite easily and resolve it. Word gets round easy enough.
  22. Very much so - the level of IT taught in many primaries is below acceptable standards IMO. We rarely have people come up to our secondary who are even aware of the function of the Shift key. These are the same people that get in all sorts of trouble on a Chromebook as it doesn't have the caps lock they know and love.
  23. Especially as they have no control over themselves (sorry, too dark?)
  24. Random thought - this very sentence applies to both this last post and the very first post in this thread.
  25. Have done the above very recently but limited to files created prior to 1 month ago - ~ prefixes quite a few autorecovery documents which have often got people out of a tight spot with our help! Certainly worth doing - I think my method was searching on ~$*.* or something.
