There are many. Also, do you remember how you could turn off drive assist to earn more credits? Well you can't do that any more. You can still turn off drive assist, but it won't get you a reward. You have to spend credits on loot boxes 'prize crates', which contain 'Mods' which modify the conditions of a race and net you a +x% bonus. Also to pad out the loot boxes 'prize crates', there are tonnes of driver skins (most of which are just recolours of each other) to make sure you don't get the stuff you want. You know. Driver outfits. For the driver. Who sits in the car. So they've plastered your driver all over the menus now to make it seem like it's not a massive cash-grab but it's totally a massive cash-grab. gambling in full AAA-priced games. Me? Salty? Never.

Okay, that helps me a little bit more, thanks guys! 20 minutes seems a little low, though. I wasn't expecting to get hours and hours out of it, but when you throw the speaker in the mix, I'll have hardly any power on that.. May need to invest in a beefier battery. I know they come in 3400mah flavours at least.. Problem is the most common suppliers of 18650's are vape shops and those apparently don't come with the short-circuit/overvolt protections that these do.. Hmmm.

The command I use to install Irfanview with WDS as part of imaging is: START /WAIT "Irfanview Setup" "\\server\DeploymentShare$\Applications\Irfanview 4.44 x64\iview444_x64_setup.exe" /silent /group=1 /allusers=1 /assoc=1

TL;DR I know I have all the right components but I'm terrible with forward voltage and amperage and all that stuff 'cause I didn't pay attention in school (and it was also over a decade ago). Pls help. Storytime. I'm a nerd (shock, horror!) who bought a lightsaber a while back. Not one of those cheap ones from Asda/Smyths/Toys R Us etc. A proper metal one with a beefy battery and sound. However! I'm never satisfied. The soundboard with it 1) couldn't have the sounds changed, and B) blared out an advertisement for the company every time you switch it on, which just annoyed me. So! I did what any self-respecting geek would do. Looked for ways around it. Turns out there's a huge market for custom lightsaber boards and stuff. Sweet! I have: A Nano Biscotte V4 soundboard with the Power Extender A 3.7v, 2500mah 18650 Li-Ion battery with 3c constant current (whatever that means....) A Tri-Cree XP-E2 LED containing: 1x White: Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.15v 124lm 1x Red: Forward Voltage @1000mA = 2.5v 84lm 1x Blue: Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.4v 638mW [*]A momentary switch, Purple LED Light 2A/36VDC with a 20ma variable resistor [*]A DC power socket [*]A 3-7.4v rumble motor [*]A 28mm 2w 8ohm speaker [*]Many, many different flavours of resistor, except they're all 5-band resistors labelled 22K, 2K2, 1M, 470K, 470, etcetera etcetera. My main issue is working out what resistors I need to put on the LED's. I know for a fact the red LED needs a resistor else it'll go pop. But I'm a bit iffy about forward voltage etc. Does (i.e. in the case of the White LED) Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.15v mean that at a current of 1 Amp, the LED will draw 3.15v, and how do I ensure that the battery is supplying the 1Amp that I assume you're supposed to use? I'm perfectly happy to bribe anybody who takes the time to help me out with beer money

Off the top of my head, it's just a batch file that installs added as a WDS Application. (There's more to it than that, it's a hidden application that has an 'Install Application' step added to the task sequence so that it's mandatory for every image, but that's not really relevant I guess..) I can get you the details tomorrow if you'd like?

I have a task in WDS that installs irfanview as a core part of the OS. Might be of some use.

I don't know when this started happening, but I've had an email today about Sharepoint 'not loading'. This seems to be (in typical fashion) Microsoft deciding how we should be using SharePoint and (in typical Microsoft fashion) getting it completely wrong. If you login to Office 365 and then click the 'Sharepoint' tile you get sent to https://ourURL.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx which loads an 'activities' page. If you manually go to https://ourURL.sharepoint.com you still get redirected to our 'proper' sharepoint landing page (as set with the 'Make Homepage' option in the ribbon) and the accompanying links/files/etcetera. Google-fu is giving me nothing, just many pages referring to a different issue with the same url path telling me to disable Minimal Download Strategy, but that's already disabled for us. Is there any way to disable this, or simply just to change the URL that the SharePoint tile links to?

Good point. It's just a leftover from when I was storing variables in the stylesheet itself, but there's no reason it needs to be .php any more. I have zero plans of having end-users individually modify their stylesheet. Sure, it could probably be done with cookies, but I'm concerning myself with core functionality at the moment. I'm just focussing on having a static stylesheet defined and getting LDAP and SQL working.
-
I've decided to go about it a different way. It feels a little convoluted, but I think it will work out for the best in the end once I'm done and I release it (if all goes to plan, I'll be giving it away on GPL once I'm done) [Root Folder] GlobalConfig.php [config] style.php [localisation] en_gb.php [img] logo.png [web] index.php bookings.php login.php GlobalConfig contains all the stuff like LDAP/SQL info, stylesheet variables (font face, colours, etc) and language file location. The working theory is that the stylesheet itself doesn't need editing, so the stylesheet can just exist on its own in the config folder and not get touched. This way, GlobalConfig the only file that will need editing (unless you want to translate all the strings in en_gb.php to another language).

I'm on a diet, but it's sweet of you to offer.

FTFY ;D You know what, I know that. And I know I was thinking about the S12K when I posted that 'cause tbh I'm not really a fan of the SKS. So why I typed SKS is beyond me
-
Not really sure what you're asking there. This is my first time diving into something like this. my index.php contains: and my config\localisation\en_gb.php contains: $Header = 'Test String Header'; $Days = array["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]; $Months = array["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]; and I'm still getting Undefined Variable.
-
So let's say I'm coding a web page. I've figured out using an external stylesheet with , but I'm stuck with referencing variables. To try and figure this out I just have a simple variable, $Header. The StyleSheet defines $Header = 'Hello World'; However if I include <?php echo $Header; ?> I get PHP Notice: Undefined variable: Header in [...]\index.php on line 7 (Ideally the end-game has me with a language file separate to the StyleSheet containing a list of strings but I'm not fussed about separating it over multiple files right now whilst I'm just getting to grips with everything.)

There's two of those the S8-whatever (I just call it the '5-shooter', as opposed to the '2-shooter' shotgun) which is pump-action and the SKS which is semi-automatic and has a magazine.

1 kill? That's more than some of us get half the time

Sorry for the necro(ish - is two months really 'necro'?)bump. I've recently been looking at other room booking systems as some of our staff are asking for additional functionality that doesn't exist with @webman's ClassroomBookings* and hitting a bit of a brick wall here. I've tried Booked (formerly phpScheduleIt) and MRBS but neither seem to really be made to fit schools. MRBS has no way of doing school holidays and I can't find anyone who's written a plugin for that, and I'm having issues with getting Booked working with LDAP and again there's the issues of breaks in service. I've also tried OxAldo Room Booking System but I can't get Lucee/Tomcat working so that's dead at the get-go. So what else are people using? Are there other systems that I'm missing? Did ClassroomBookings v2 ever emerge? (I know Craig moved away from Education so if you're not working on it any more that's cool ) * To clarify, I'm not slating the software at all. It's been fantastic, our staff love it, it does what it needs to and it does it well. I genuinely recommend it. It's just that some of our staff are just wanting a bit more 'meat' to the booking system like emailing Site Management if a reservation is made in the Hall, not needing to book timeslots in relation to the timetable for meeting rooms that don't house classes, and LDAP authentication.

Yes they were my heavily-demanded cookie dough brownies. But they're for charity. So unless you're coming to my school and donating to McMillan, nobrownies4u!

I'll be there! Would've played last night but was baking. So tried to get the Steam Link working so I could stay near the oven. It was laggy as all hell. Input delay by at least a second. So then I spent time debugging that. Turns out it was dodgy GPU drivers. A clean install fixed it. So I should be good to go now!
-
Yeah that happens. The circle also seems to favour ending up on the military island so you get people camping the bridge and it sucks when you're screwed by the RNG. Also don't worry about driving. @bald_pig flipped a boat. You can't get worse than that. (No Pig, I'm not going to let you live it down )

29th is pretty good for your first bash! In general hugging the blue is a bad idea though, you wanna be reasonably in the middle of the play zone because then you're looking out and can pick off all the stragglers. Chasing the blue gets you picked off by the people who have already set up camp in the middle. But I still hug the blue in like, half my games Trying to get out of the habit though.

Got myself Hollow Knight. I have no idea about the layout of the levels. I have no idea about the enemies. I have no idea if I'm going the right way. I have no idea what I'm doing. It's kicking my ass. And I love it.

I think... Think.. Molotov's still explode automatically. But I'm certain your standard frag doesn't.

Your 3 team-mates are dead? Find an enemy. Cook a grenade. Give them a cuddle. GG. It's a shame grenades don't explode if you don't throw them. Kamikaze-ing enemies would be fun.

Personally I find it to be one of those games that's a tonne of fun with friends, but I don't care for solo mode. Then again it's not just the gameplay that has me playing online video games, the social aspect of it is a huge part of why I do.
