I believe the national cyber security centre has said that storing passwords in the browser is acceptable.

Does anyone else think that Betty Boothroyd should get a state funeral? As she broke through the glass sealing of gender.

Sharepoint data storage is free for educational use but Azure files are not. I would only use Azure file storage for special cases it also a bit of a challenge setting up authentication to azure file storage to use AD users credentials. Also I am not sure many MIS support using Azure SQL. Remember your on prem AD sever can be in Azure. I do feel that the original MS/Edugeek cloud guide needs some updating. Please mods would this be possible? Thanks

I would say don’t lift and shift file servers it might make sense to lift and shift others. DR may work better in the cloud it may mean no hardware to be purchased.

Cost of living crisis 2022 - what have you cut back on?

Why do landlords do this and leave poor heating controls in place. Also it a shame they seem slow upgrading to a heat pump. -
EU proposes mandatory USB-C on all devices, including iPhones
nicholab replied to elsiegee40's topic in IT News
Right to repair is very important and discussing that some manufacturers did not support it. Why are the people running these companies so stupid have they not needed to repair something. Why is it easy to get the parts to repair my lawn mower than my phone? Which was more expensive? Why have phone speakers and batteries been serialised? These are the most common parts that need changing? -

Is anyone celebrating Valentine’s Day today to save money? -
Some desk don’t need a Dante card form day one. They have the interfaces with suitable outputs for most uses. Just remember that the stage box/can be over a £1k each!

Do people feel that £25 for a cable is reasonable? If that was the charger as well I would understand. Mandating this standard will mean that reasonable quality cables and charges will be available for a fair price. -
I would always go digital as your desk can create a custom layer/layout you can have a simple layout for the less skilled user. Both the si impact and TF1 can do custom layers I used both liked both. I was never required to do AES 50 patching. X32 compact would be worth a look. I like digital as it means I get all the compressor, gates and groups i am used to on a big desk with lots of outboard.

That a good point you might have not have multicore deployed in your school. You could hire in a digital multi core for shows for the extra channels.

It a school you want to be able to password protect certain aspects of the desk or have a USB with the saved settings.

Going Google and saying goodbye to Microsoft
nicholab replied to m-newnham's topic in Cloud Services
The one issue is what have you done with directory service? What have you used to replace AD? Why do you always get these types that try and go against the schools tech just because they are a head teacher. I thought head teacher where supposed to work with a team of experts! Everyone else it takes a 1000 year to change anything and a 1000 process they think it can be done in one. -
Is there any MIS for secondary schools that comes close to SIMS

This is totally true we seem to to be the only ones asking how and why. -

Why does Apple have this opposition to you being able to charge your phone with your own cable? I mean I know the £25 cable is so amazing I want to buy it instead of food! -
The SI impact has different used account so you can control access. Being able to recall setting is very useful. Having experienced of using a Allan and Heath GL4000 large 40 channel desk I find the transition easy.

I found that data may need to go back a whole year for GCSE courses work. Anyone else found this?

School staff never seem to have had to change software eg they went from school to school and got SIMs. Where as if you worked in other business you will have changed software. -
I believe most of those desk support digital stage boxes. That would also be worth pricing up. Yamaha needs a dante card added to support the network interface.

Why not move to sonoff timers and thermostat as they are cheaper. -
Desk worth a look yamaha tf1 Soundcraft si impact behringer x32 / compact allen and heath qu 24 I used the Yamaha and the soundcraft I preferred the work flow on the sound craft. A digital desk give you a lot more tools and cost are not much dearer than an analog. It’s really handy to have effects, compressor and gates available.
