  1. Don't have fitted yet but we are looking at Sharp, VeryPC and Sonitus. Those aren't specific systems, but they will supply and install a system to match your specifications.
  2. I really don't see how they can claim goals per match is personal data. I also can't see it being allowed as it would crash the advertising business, every person in the could claim a fee for using their data in advertising.
  3. I'd be interested in what the data is. If it is things like health data from training, then the question is how is the information getting out? If it is goals, time on pitch, general playing stats, then surely that is readily available so no GDPR issues. Also is the information labelled as each player or just hard cold data? At which point, how do you tell it is an individual player? I guess what I am getting at is, are the clubs (or someone at the clubs) selling this data? Or am I being cynical thinking this is an attempt at generating an extra revenue stream? EDIT: As ever, read the article and a lot of questions are answered. It is performance data.
  4. I've no direct experience but I have seen some sites use javascript to call the correct video, that is referenced by a guid, which means there is no direct path to get the video. I think this is what the Samsung browser uses to get the video. But I would say, as with anything; if you are putting something on the Internet, expect it to be downloaded or ripped off. You can make best effort but someone will find away if they really want to, it is the nature of the Internet. If your spec stated you wanted videos to be shown but not downloadable, you need to get your Developer to sort the issue. If it wasn't you may have to negotiate a change at additional cost.
  5. At home, at least, I'm sure I've seen BT installing quite a large battery to keep connection in the event of a power failure. Although a quick search to check my brain shows they stopped this around 2018-19
  6. As others have said, as long as expectations are set they are good machines for quick, bulk, non marketing quality, copies. I seem to recall that black was slightly more expensive than other copiers but the speed was a good compensation for that. We had one for a while and lots of staff were sad to see it go but it was a hardcore (that got the purpose) of users. The only issue we had was the card reader, to tie into Papercut, was an external print station and horrific. Didn't even do full symbols so some passwords wouldn't work and read the cards differently to our other copiers. The process to retrieve work was overly complicated and the menu on the system wasn't the greatest. I am told newer machines are much better and have the card reader built in.
  7. Are you using it in anger or just found it and hoping to use it? I've seen it but not found anyone that actually uses it. Plus as usual no one is willing to actually run with the idea of changing.
  8. Plus how recent any bribes... I mean offerings of cake have been made.
  9. I think they mean one of those number of affected on one side by urgency of fix on the other. I used to have one, I'll see if I can dig it up
  10. This should be a major consideration as Google and Apple are trying out do each other in the Privacy stakes with no thought to Education. Safeguarding kind of precludes ignoring SSL traffic across the board, but forcing your certificate onto a device that you don't own may cause issues. There are solutions, like Ruckus CloudPath, that will assist users to onboard themselves, minimising tech input and ensuring everything is carried out that you want, but this is then an added cost.
  11. It is because their certificate is only for Page Redirection, so accessitsoftware.com gives an invalid name error
  12. We used to offer it as an option but we have closed RDP due to all the security concerns. But that would just be an interim step. A full cloud solution would cost less than a TS option. I know interface shouldn't be taken above function but Timetabler is showing its age. It often does strange things on dual screens, the interface is very SIMS and doesn't follow modern MS conventions. I like the software, I mean it is really easy to install and maintain, but with thoughts to future of the school network, working practices and cloud enabled software it may end up like SIMS and be dropped because it doesn't keep up.
  13. Doesn't have a full timetabling module though. You have to create the timetable in an external program in import to iSAMS
  14. Are the recordings not in their OneDrive in a Recordings folder?
  15. There is nothing we have found that is powerful enough and exports to the main MIS I'm afraid. We looked. I've asked Timetabler if they are looking at updating their system as I feel it is creaking and becoming clunky but was told that their users love it and they have had no complaints. EDIT: Saying that I'm sure Bromcom have a web based timetabler module coming next year.
  16. We are a prep. Very similar to dhicks. Younger students have an email address but no mailbox or license to mail. All of ours have external email blocked unless the domain or email is in a whitelist.
  17. I started off small. Put £50 in across two different coins. Made £3 in a week! Time to retire!!
  18. They way to lock in profits are to take a chunk out. Same with day trading. If you make a profit, leave it to ride and it drops you have nothing or make a loss. Take out half and you have locked that profit in. Letting the rest ride means you benefit if there is a further increase or if it drops you have limited or mitigated your losses. This is not for long term 'investing' though.
  19. Not getting caught by filtering?
  20. Oddly I was the reverse. Make the ones I don't use often larger as I can see them better. The ones I use a lot are small as I know where they are.
  21. It does depend on how low cost is defined. Smoothwall cloud maybe an option as I think it is per person. Securly is another option. Just to hit the other point, catching keywords in URLs is not the best option as it is just a game of cat and mouse. http://www.reallynicewebsite.com, isn't any hint to what is contained in the pages. Proxy sites often randomly generate URLs to hide their purpose. Content filtering is better, as keywords from the code or with in the page are a much better metric to block against. This way a site can change its URL but will still get caught. Not sure if Opendium will cover Italy, but worth contacting them. They seem expensive but aren't multi year, so over the course of 3 years often work out cheaper.
  22. Do be warned, we found this had some interesting consequences. Some apps wouldn't work and it gave everyone a 2GB hard quota on the device, which wasn't enough to install the apps we were pushing out. We think it also meant that every app had to be installed at every login, rather than just the first person. Google do not recommend using this setting.
  23. Just checking, is this a UK school or an Italian school? If it is UK, you will need to ensure you are meeting the UKSIC definitions. A build your own option may not cover that so be very careful.
  24. I think OWA does has a token that will be valid but it will eventually run out. So yes, I think it is a wait and see jobby.
  25. Ours works. Don't remember doing anything special, thought it was all web traffic. I'll have a play as I have fallen out of the habit of using it.
