Teacher has asked for this website to work, https://interactive.barclayslifeskills.com/cv we keep getting This content requires Java Script, please enable Javascript. Checked Safari preferences on Mac OS and it is turned on in preferences. Tried on a Linux box with firefox, same message no Javascript enabled, tried a Windows box running IE 11, same issue. Could anybody confirm if it does the same for them?

Of the 14 actually in the wild, and not proof of concept or government attacks 10 required the device to be jailbroken, the rest? "Find and Call" was removed from the App Store once it was found to sucking data it should not. So not applicable anymore "Wirelurker" was only installed via USB when the user used a dodgy Mac OS X store, yeah like we would use that. "YiSpecter" would only work on iOS 9 upwards if you went into settings to over ride certificate blocks. "Youmi Ad SDK" would not have been caught by anti virus because it would not have been known about at the time so no definition of it, and Apple put a stop to this once they knew about it. I would be more scared using a Windows device with Antimalware and Antivirus than an iPad without either. I have seen far too many Windows machines get nasties despite having the anti-programs on because the threat was so new, and heuristics technology are not always that great at detecting the unknown. When you also add the rapid adoption for the latest version of iOS that the platform has, exploits are generally squashed very quick, and since iOS is very sandbox and locked down, antivirus just is not needed for this OS, and at most it would want anti malware similar to that of X Protect thats built into Mac OS.

Unfortunately Judges often don't understand technology at all and make judgments based on their bad understanding

Unfortunately not , as its bought via the county council with other bits added and she cannot get a figure to hand, but the bursar saids its very reasonable priced.

We are moving to Software | HCSS Education for our accounting software in our MAT. Its fully web browser based / cloud, our Bursar seems to really like it.

Microsoft to introduce new ‘Windows 10 Pro for Education’ SKU
2ilent8cho replied to dblight's topic in Windows 10
They started doing this trick about 10 years ago. Office 2003 would deploy via GPO's beautifully. Then any Office after that it was not an officially supported route and required lots of sticky tape to make work. -
Yes, one installed on IIS in /PARS other in /INSIGHT was straight forward to install.

Wait for Capita to join the modern world and have SIMS 8 ready, instead of living in 1995, use RDP, get a fancy RDP system like Citrix or Parallels 2x, or use a VM. We went the Paralles 2x route for our 80 staff Macbooks, but a bit over kill for just 1 person. So guessing RDP is going to be the cheapest and cleanest route. The Mac RDP clients is nice, just do a 3 finger swipe left and right to jump between Mac and the RDP session.

SmartNotebook 11.4 on OSX El Capitan? Anyone got this working?
2ilent8cho replied to Duranis's topic in Educational Software
No we had to upgrade to the latest version of SMART Notebook which is version 14 or 15. -
If there was a 4" version i would have been tempted, i don't want a 4.7", i had the iPhone 6 and it was just too big. I will stick with my iPhone SE. Plus the SE is cheap as chips at £400 a phone, i went and bought 3 of them on launch day from the Apple store SIM free so my parents could get a newer phone too.

This is why we are not excited about Windows 10 on the sites we support that run Windows. They can stay on 7. We moved to Windows 7 within a few weeks of it going gold back in 2010, so its not like we don't go for the latest and greatest quickly, but Windows 8 was utter cow dung, and Windows 10 seems just as bad, a polished turd is still a turd. The amount of people using Classic Shell on Windows 10 should scream that Microsoft still don't have it right, you should not need to install 3rd party GUI's to make the OS nice to use. Windows 10 just seems like a mess, and even if you get it all working fine, the next update changes so much because Windows is now a SaaS, it could break loads of things again. I hope the next 4 years of Windows 7 support is enough time to get the bulk over to Mac OS and iOS with iPads for the schools we have that are still on Windows.

Yes thats how we do it here. We have the 'Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location ticked' and it mounts it.

When you download Office 2016 for Mac Standard from the Microsoft volume licence site, inside the DMG file is the serialiser

Cannot wait for some Airpods. I use earphones everyday, so use the 3.5mm jack but that cable is annoying. So won't miss it, plus there is an adaptor in the box for those who need it.

Starting to struggle now with space as i seem to be swimming in computers at home, did not really notice until today with having the day off and trying to tidy sort my kind of office / spare room at home. I've got my Mac Mini, 2012 Macbook Air, 2015 Macbook Air, 2013 Macbook Pro, 2 Asus Windows 7 netbooks, 1 Acer Windows 7 netbook, 1 Acer XP Laptop, 1 Acer Windows 7 laptop, 1 Acer Linux laptop, 1 HP Windows 7 laptop, iPad Touch, iPad Mini 1st Gen, iPad Mini 2nd Gen, iPad Air 1st gen Am i the only one who just cannot chuck out usable working computers? I don't want to part with them but i can only really use 1 or 2 screens at once, and i know if Apple release new Macbooks in October with that touch bar i won't be able to resist .

Evolution Of Startup Sounds From Windows 3.1 To 10
2ilent8cho replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
NT4 use to be my favourite startup sounds, infact i would be torn between NT4 and Windows 2000 as to which was my favourite version of Windows. Its a shame as most of these sounds are from when Windows use to be enjoyable to use and made me feel warm and fuzzy. Now i avoid Windows like the plague, give me the uncluttered but functional GUI of Windows 2000 any day over this Windows 10 and 8 crap. -
No idea, we use Profile Manager for our Mac settings.

we do it how you are want to do it. i do have a post from earlier in the year where i replied to somebody else with the instructions but im at the airport at the moment on my mobile so a bit fiddly to find it. you can use a program called platypus to turn .sh scripts into apps then tell your mdm to run the app at user login. thats how we get it to work. search for my other posts and im sure you will find the post.

If they do require Windows specific add-ons client side i am going to push hard to dump SIMS if we have not made a decision to do so by the time they finally show something off, . The Head already thinks SIMS belongs in a 1990s admin office with a bulky CRT monitor.
