Website Translation plugin recommendation for Wordpress
TomHD replied to MkII's topic in Web Development
I use GTranslate free version on my sites and am well aware that it doesn't handle real text well, I use it so foreign users can make sense of the navigation menus. If your site is only ever going to be bilingual it would be worth getting a proper human translation to serve rather than a machine based translation which will never be as good. If you buy into a plugin you'll be "paying" for all the other translations when you only really need Welsh. I also assume that Welsh is quite low on the list of spoken languages and would worry that support for Welsh translations in plugins will be low or non existent... Are there any students who speak English and Welsh you could rope in? Would look great on a student's CV -
We use the same ones @mikeprice has sturdy, flexible so they don't snap and modular so cables are detachable for storing and you can get spare ear pads for when they wear out. A bit steep at £19.99 a pair but they get cheaper if you go for a bundle.

Command+R is NOT the same as Command+Option+R I did read it yes!
-
You could try internet recovery to reset to factory, you will need to update to latest OS after Hold Command+Option+R on boot (note that enabling a proxy in Mac OS utilies is not a breeze but is possible)

GIMP is the best and most supported solution you have listed did teacher mention why they didn't like it?

PING replies - how many dropped packets isn't good?
TomHD replied to gerardsweeney's topic in Wired Networks
I didn't feel any malice in your response <3 but after a quick Google its clear my 5% is a tad high and most are saying 0-1% is OK Looking I am dropping <20 packets per second across the entire network so well within acceptable numbers... sorry, not meaning to rub it in @OP -
PING replies - how many dropped packets isn't good?
TomHD replied to gerardsweeney's topic in Wired Networks
I should have been clearer I guess sustained loss at 5% is not good, but I won't really investigate anything below 5% unless it is sustained and affecting quality of service -
PING replies - how many dropped packets isn't good?
TomHD replied to gerardsweeney's topic in Wired Networks
I'm happy with anything below 5% Just had a look at traffic and I have 1 switch dropping 16/10204 packets, the rest are dropping none -
I don't see much as the JS is blocked on the server but I see more than on Chrome on my desktop...

@LeMarchand, great little collection there, nothing wrong with not wanting to put lots of money in watches but great to see some differing pieces you have FYI the "surround" thing we call the "bezel" @Marci, loving the dial on your TAG any particular reason you went with a quartz TAG over a mechanical/auto?
-
no, will work on the worst of PCs at low resolutions and low frames per second
-
Seems like many are opting for smart watches anyone rocking a Swiss mechanical to work?
-
It's not the watch for me but really glad you love it
-
It hasn't worked at all for a little while but I had other pressing issues to sort at the time
-
User summary page is working fine and the embedded is all good. Will have a look at the logs now, issue began after having our print fleet upgraded... as mentioned Papercut support has recommended a fresh install and restore the db so will try that this evening Nothing in the logs unfortunately, if its any help I am getting these errors on the Dashboard page...
-
I have never been tempted by smart watches, maybe I should have another look as I guess they have massively improved since the first gen of smart watches. Why wouldn't you recommend that watch and is there a smart watch you would?
-
OBS is hands down the best option for screen recording

Hi All, Bit of a watch geek here! Would love to see what other techs across EduGeek own, wear and love? I have a few watches but will start proceedings with quite a rare little nugget... The Casio G-Shock G-056B, the thinnest G-Shock ever made coming in at 11mm thick! My daily driver, takes a beating and keeps going and is perfect for my skinny little wrists my only gripe is you cannot change the date to UK format and the buttons can be hard to press without pinching a bit of skin or pulling a hair Looking forward to seeing and hearing from you guys TomHD
-
Nope unfortunately not, that is the option to share data with Papercut. Have been on to Papercut support and they have suggested a reinstall and restore, will update this thread if it fixes the issue. I think the issue is SNMP based as I seem to not be getting low toner email notifications either
-
Hi All, For sometime my Papercut dashboard just shows empty boxes where all the monitoring stats used to show. This happens in all browsers! Any idea, a quick google didn't give me anything solid to work from Thanks, TomHD Well that doesn't fix it
-
I would choose that route but was just offering alternate solutions And if its the form factor of set top boxes that is putting OP off you can get some really small ones that can be hidden behind the screen but no idea how well a remote would work in that setup

Could a PCI TV Tuner card work? Run on a PC and run HDMI to your screen? You can get USB versions too, with some models allowing the use of an external antenna Have a look here - Hauppauge UK | Freeview TV Tuner Product Selector

The speakers in the Unifi APs are OK, a bit gutless but I imagine you're not wanting to put on a rave in the corridors
-
Powering the speakers will be the tricky/expensive part. Do you have mains power nearby to the speakers?
-
Could these work for you? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stereo-Audio-Cable-Extender-Required-Black/dp/B013WMPAP2 They claim to deliver line audio up to 100m without additional power Just noticed your POE statement... so you are wanting to power the speakers using POE and deliver the audio over CAT6?
