It was some time around 94/95 when we got our first PC. The first thing I remember doing on the PC was playing Star Trek 25th Anniversary with my dad. I think a quirk of delivery led to us getting the game before the PC.

If it's just loading a webpage, can't you just get chrome to run automatically at login? Maybe have an autoit script to handle logging in?

I had a look at the "opt in meeting requests", thinking maybe if I just opt out of them they'll stop bugging me. The only options are "interested" or "very interested". Okay...

I don't think it is actually more complicated, they're just trying to make it look that way. I'm assuming we can still rock up on the day and wander around (if they ever send the bleeping tickets!) At the moment it's a tossup between that an National rail publishing completely unworkable train times for that week as to which will make me sack the whole thing off first. Although the ticket thing might not be entirely in their control one of our techs is having similar annoyances with not being able to get comicon tickets in advance, so it might be an excel thing (I don't know how this works).

From a wholly technical standpoint, you could get 1 PC set up with all the specific restrictions you want using MMC to edit the local group policies, and then use clonezilla on a USB (or whatever equivalent you like) to copy the image to all the other PCs.

We've wound up getting a bunch of udemy courses (there's always something good "on sale").

You might be able do tenancy wide (or even for a specific user group) with a mailflow connector in Office 365. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/use-connectors-to-configure-mail-flow/use-connectors-to-configure-mail-flow

If you're just streaming PC to PC (or PC to TV), then it might be worth looking at steam in-home streaming (assuming you're already using Steam). I've had pretty good results using it to stream from gaming PC to TV or PC to laptop. Though that fractal build does sound really nice.

As the user you can browse to http://[smoothwall IP or address]/login This should show you the currently authenticated user as "logged in".

We have paxton video intercoms on the back gates which run seporately to the main CCTV, because our main cctv solution didn't support intercoms. If you're basically looking for a lower cost intercom systems, then maybe look at the Ubiquity one as it can run just over the local network (or it did a couple of years ago), so there's less of a GDPR issue.

I had a similar issue with Elden Ring for most of my first playthrough. Going into the Nvidia control panel and resetting everything to default seemed to fix the issue (even though I don't remember ever changing anything in there to begin with), so that's worth a look. Definitely try it from an SSD, if nothing else maybe try and free up enough space one of the SSDs you already have to test it. As the others have said, upgrading to an SSD is becoming increasingly necessary. The recommended system requirements for HWL do say "SSD preferred". Ans SATA SSDs are pretty reasonably priced right now.

Below is a demo I did with someone a while back on the remarkable's OCR tech. I was pretty impressed how well it did, and kid-of surprised it even tried to turn that last line into text. I assume dedicated OCR apps could do even better.

Have you looked at the ReMarkable or Kindle scribe? I've got a remarkable for note taking around the office/meetings, and it's been pretty great.

Slightly off topic, but if your coming from London Bridge/Kings Cross area, is there any advantage to using the Elizabeth line rather than the DLR? Is that even possible now?

I've known office staff who would eat at their desks and then use the lunchbreak to go for a walk.

Not seen anything yet. Maye now we've passed "the last day to register for a free ticket" something will pop next week. And if they're going to send me 5 "reminder" emails a day maybe they could put out a map.

I've generally been impressed with DELL hardware (both at work and at home). One time we warranty claimed for a machine that arrived with a broken screen. They very promptly took the PC in for repair and sent us a replacement screen. It got sorted pretty quick once our account manager came back off holiday and I've not had any other problems.

I was getting so many "you've only get X days to get your free ticket" emails I was starting to question if I'd actually registered for one.

Dell make some very nice screens. The AFAIK 2014 or newer XPS laptops have mostly 4k screens (which I pretty overkill IMO). The rule of thumb I've seen for resolution for computer screens is 1080p up to about 24", 1440p 25-27" and 4K 28"> (based on recommended optimum viewing distances of 2-3feet). While that's all about image quality and avoiding the "screen door effect" on the one side and not paying for things you that won't make a visible difference on the other, I think it's probably worth following this rule (at least until some new-shiny comes along and makes it defunct) and then using the windows scaling to get things to a comfortable size. With regards to optimizing for mobile. All the web developers we've been speaking to about redoing our website talk about the site design needing to be "mobile first", and how 90odd % of all traffic comes from mobiles now. So I think you're right, more and more, websites are being designed for mobiles and then "scaled up" for computer screens rather than the old model of being made for the computer and then adapted/scaled down for phone screens. And there's that habit web designers have of not using the full width of 16:9 widescreens.

What about something like this? https://www.instructables.com/Keyboard-Joystick/

I've not tried rebooting as the AP is pulling down changes okay (I created a new test SSID). I'll give it a go. Unfortunately, it looks like the site has been set up wrong and I can't see any way to change it without unadopting the AP and starting again. Unless anyone knows a way to change the typology of an existing site? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for getting back to me. My network settings look the same as yours. IP and network assignment: Same as local network Network access schedule: Always available Bandwidth: unlimited Network access: unrestricted security WPA2 personal Are you setting the vlan on the AP or the switch port?

Hi, I've got an Aruba InstantOn AP11 at home, it's set-up and is working mostly fine, but it's running as DHCP for my wireless devices even though I've got IP assignment set to "Same a local network" (and changing that setting doesn't seem to make any difference to the IP address assignment). Is there a way to stop the AP from acting as DHCP and letting my router do all the IP assignments/DHCP? Thanks for your help!

Hey, We use Biostore for biometrics (for canteen, printing, library, etc), and it's their AD/password reset solution. We've got the networked readers for the printers for the printers (pic below) and have them multi-licenced so pupils can choose to either log into the printer or reset their password.
