Thanksfor the replies everyone!!! We found the port the device is connected to. We know it is one of 3 devices, all that remains is for me to stop by the server room in that building and check out what is connected. I will update when I find out.

Right now, I am installing Ubuntu to dual boot on my PC. So, I am at the 'installation type' screen. I have already made a swap, "/", and "/home" partitions (after shrinking the volume of my hard drive). So, now the only field left to fill out is the 'device for boot loader installation' field. I have a boot SSD and a general storage HDD. Where should I tell it to put the boot loader? Thanks!


For EFI system, Ubuntu will add an EFI boot entry in your EFI partition and allow it to load the bootloader install on your root partition. This is the most flexible setup. And Ubuntu can be booted from windows if you hold down shift key when you select the restart from the menu. Don't overwrite tha main disk header if you want to keep windows happy and/or keep using EFI secure boot.


For BIOS system, you will need to use Chain booting. You can chain boot from Windows boot loader for non-EFI system using some tools from EasyBCD, non-commercial use is free I believe. Or you can chain boot from grub. This is when you need to install grub on your main disk MBR header. This may update some windows setup, so I won't recommend this unless you have windows in legacy boot mode.


The base storage capacity for most of these devices is 128GB which is more than enough storage for Canvas, but a higher capacity may be necessary depending on what else you store on the device. Generally speaking, this is very rarely a practical concern for our customers, unless you use the device to store a lot of videos or audio files in addition to scans.


While the total storage footprint for a home can be all over the place, in our experience the average typically ranges from 500MB to 2GB. Since the operating system usually takes up 8-11GB (according to Apple's website), that means that if you have only 16GB of storage, in the worst case you might have only 5GB available for Canvas, which may correspond to only a few homes. If you had a 256GB iPad, you would be able to store several hundred homes.


Canvas is currently only compatible with iOS devices, and specifically the LiDAR-enabled devices listed above. If you would like to be notified if support for other devices becomes available, please sign up for our newsletter.


Some of our customers who don't already have a compatible device, will buy one just to use Canvas for measuring and digitizing a space. Using Canvas as a business tool usually pays for the device in one or two jobs. The resulting CAD files from our service can be imported into your design programs which can be running on Windows.


Device control is a measure of protection that restricts user access to devices. Companies and organizations open or block access to devices such as data storage media, including removable devices, CD/DVDs, data transfer devices such as modems or external network adapters, printers, multi-function peripherals, and connection buses such as USBs and FireWire. Most device control restricts user access to devices by access rules. Access rules are sets of parameters that identify two functions of the device control component: providing access to specific types of devices for certain users or groups of users during specified time periods and setting restriction rules on reading and editing files on data storage media.


There are several benefits of device control, whether as a standalone solution or as part of a broader data protection solution. High-quality device control solutions provide data loss and theft prevention, media encryption, detailed monitoring and forensics, and malware protection.


Organizations choose data protection solutions that offer device control and encryption to secure their data and protect their systems. The best data protection solutions handle device control and encryption in a variety of ways. Some provide automated, policy-based usage controls for removable media devices that alert, prompt, or block when identifying an attempt at risky behavior. Others distinguish devices and data by class and allow only authorized individuals to use or access them. Often this is centrally managed, enabling companies to control and enforce security policies as necessary without disrupting workflows.


Data protection systems that provide device control can also automatically recognize and encrypt sensitive data that is transferred to devices based on classification and/or contextual factors such as recipient and destination. A complete data protection solution with device control is one of the best investments an organization can make to protect its data and systems.


In effect, tablets can function like eReaders while offering other media-rich features. You can even download the Kindle Reading app for free and read Kindle books on a non-Kindle device, such as an iPad.


OverDrive / Libby is our most popular collection of downloadable eBooks and eAudiobooks. It also has streaming videos. See the device profiles on OverDrive to learn more about device compatibility and see examples of different tablets and eReaders.


Company Portal keeps your personal and work information separate, so you can remain productive and focused when using your device for work purposes. You can also find your work and school apps in Company Portal.


In some cases, your organization will install the Company Portal app on your device for you, so check your device before trying to install it. The app is also available to install from app stores such as the Microsoft Store, App Store, and Google Play store. To access the Company Portal from a web browser, sign in to the Company Portal website with your work or school account.


The Company Portal app is available for Windows 10/11, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Android devices. It integrates seamlessly with your device's respective platform. The website version is accessible from any device and gives you the same, universal experience no matter what device you're using.


You can enroll corporate-owned Android and AOSP devices that your organization has set up to use with the app. The app supports Android 8.0 and later. The Microsoft Intune app is also available for Linux devices. Enrolled Linux devices are considered corporate-owned in Intune, so we don't recommend enrolling a personal device.


During a device reset, Company Portal tries to reset your device back to the manufacturer's factory default settings. All data is removed from the device. A reset is useful if, for example, you lose your device and there is sensitive data on it. You can remotely reset an enrolled device from the Company Portal website.


To see a device in Company Portal, it must first be enrolled. If after enrollment you still don't see all of your devices, try to sync or check access through the Company Portal. You won't see devices that are owned and managed by your company.


Refer to the articles in this doc set for step-by-step help and explanations. In the table of contents, select from the Android, iOS, Windows, or macOS device management categories. Then select Update device settings to see a list of how-to articles that address common messages in Company Portal.


You can also contact your IT support person. The Company Portal and Microsoft Intune apps offer help and support pages with contact information and ways to report a problem. Contact information is also available on your org's Company Portal website.


Yes is there a device that just allows you to go straight into Apple Music. I want some thing that is not sound for my 13 year-old to have access to Apple Music and Apple Music on late to listen to everything that they want to without the distraction of say YouTube or things in that nature. this way she can listen to her music and fall asleep without watching YouTube are getting distracted by video games on her phone. I hope this all makes sense!


With a rising risk of cybersecurity attacks and data breaches in the corporate world, it's important for companies to incorporate a device trust process to keep networks and customers' personal identifiable information (PII) safe. Implementing industry best practices for device verification is key for online protection. Understand how device trust works, what challenges to consider, and how to incorporate the best software to maximize security.


There are a couple of characteristics that make a device trustworthy. First, it needs to be identifiable using device fingerprinting strategies. This allows your company to recognize and block access from black-listed or malicious devices. Known devices may be managed devices provided by the company or they may be personal devices used by employees, contractors, or other third parties. Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) is becoming more popular to assist with flexible work arrangements, but does require extra security measures.


In order to be trustworthy, a device also needs to meet the latest security requirements. This includes things like an updated operating system, proper security configuration, and no evidence of malicious software.


The verification process begins when a device connects to the network or the service. This connection is often the first interaction between the device and the authentication system. You can protect apps by only allowing logins from trusted devices.


During the connection process, the access management engine checks the device for red flags, such as outdated software. You can also create different verification rules for company-managed devices versus non-managed devices. For BYOD, a more stringent set of security policies can be applied.


Device profiling is the process of collecting information about the device, including its operating system, hardware specifications, and software versions. Profiling helps in assessing the device's characteristics to make sure it can safely access the company network or platforms.
