I haven't worn or owned one for several decades. As with rings on fingers I hate the feel of them.

Hopefully not a muppet question now that I'm retired and officially a lurker but I'm puzzled that the iPads didn't have some control feature enabled on them passcode to unlock, builtin tracking activated remote wipe enabled etc.

Perhaps consider switching from terrestrial to Hosted SIMS saves a heap of hassle and adds a lot of flexibility.

Fabulous advert by Iceland - it sucks that the Oh so PC crew have blocked its official running. I also love Aldi’s offering https://youtu.be/GbfB5P6cswA

Paul Allen: Microsoft Co-founder And Billionaire Dies Aged 65
speckytecky replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
Sad news, such a great achievement but it as ever just goes to show money doesn't buy you health. -
David Blackman at PUMPKIN Communications - Home may well be able to do your work. Based in Frome, Somerset. Great value, a real pleasure to work with and brings superb expert knowledge.

LCWS would be my choice. They have recycled a heap of redundant kit for me over the years, incidentally including such things as old TV sets all for Free. In the past I have removed HDs stripped them down, removed the platters and destroyed those and included the non-platter bits in the collection. I know the last contact I had with them they mentioned their process can now include bringing a bit of kit in their truck which will destroy platters on site if needed and they happily provide certification. Great people.

If you are signed up to Impero for the year then part of that is accessing their superb support. When I was working an Impero setup never once did I seek their support without a speedy resolution - pretty often through a remote session which actually taught me a thing or ten in the process.

Senso, Impero etc can do it for you as well.

Anyone any idea what has spooked investors on Sophos? SP down over 5% this afternoon!

https://www.phoenixs.co.uk/ have always seen me right. Ramesys now part of Capita used to be superb and strangely quotes through Capita seem to still be competitive.

[mdt] W10 - 60GB SSD - Windows could not finish configuring the system
speckytecky replied to robyholmes's topic in O/S Deployment
My thoughts are that with the various updates that automatically flow to W10 60GB just isn't big enough. I have found that 128GB SSD drives speedily get 'full' and need monitoring to ensure that old data is frequently removed.- 2 replies

With you there @Dos_Box Tesco virtually lost my support when they abandoned our Market Town and closed their very useful food and clothing/household goods store in the Town Centre because the council refused to let them build out-of-town on Greenfield.

I have stuck almost exclusively with Higate ever since Mike Hinchliffe my account manager from former Misco moved to them just prior to the latter going under. Mike always goes far beyond the extra mile on quality, accuracy and fair pricing, and has given me ‘free’ usually next day delivery as well.

Good Energy and Ovo are ‘Green’ providers also worth considering.

No way should you be considering funding it yourself. Sounds like your server location (like mine!) is mightily small. We had a fab install of a suitable Air Con unit for under £2K. Should be relatively easy to convince the budget team of the need it you get some data from the server manufacture etc.

[website] Invent the next Cadbury chocolate
speckytecky replied to unixman_again's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
Another marketing gimmick methinks. I've steadfastly refused to consume any of their products since the institutional investors sold this once, Great British company out into overseas ownership. Especially, as the new owners welched on their promise to keep the historic production facility at Bristol in production, moving it, by all accounts, to Poland! I'm told that their chocolate doesn't taste the same anymore as well. -
Long overdue. A new £13.5m government-backed London centre for cyber security startups is being opened today by Matt Hancock | City A.M. let's hope they have a great effect.

So, the students are actually numbered then; wasn't there something in religious texts about numbering

Replace the failing hard drive for sure I'd say. We had one actually failed over the weekend and when I swapped it out yesterday found the case was hot, hot, hot.
-
Today we had a hard drive swapped out under warranty. The server manufacturer is looking for the old hard drive to be collected by their courier tomorrow and returned to them. Clearly, there is no chance of securely wiping the disk before return and their policy stipulates no drilling or dismantling. The hard drive was physically HOT when I hot-swapped it so I'm sure it has blown but what advice is there coming from this Forum re GDPR implications of returning it, as it is, please?

Another + for Airserver it is superb and peanuts in comparison for what you would be paying for something like Apple TV.
