  1. Chrome keyboards are ridiculously priced in the UK.. That same model is 9$ in the US If it absolutely must be cheaper (£330 is a lot), I think you may be best staying with a regular keyboard for now or checking eBay. You sometimes find cheap Samsung ones. They were around £18 before they got discontinued.
  2. Yes! That's the place. I do have some photos, just made a link from a few out of the album. The door is actually in one of the later photos. https://goo.gl/photos/ssCF6ijW2s2hff9U6
  3. Might be a bit interesting for you urbex bods... me and my dad do WW2 reenactments, and got invited to stay with some German reenactors in an old great war era fortification in Mysen, Norway. It was used by the Germans as a field hospital during occupation and isn't generally open to the public so a lot of it was untouched since the second world war. There's still some wartime era boxes and furniture laying around. Underneath there are tunnels for miles so we were advised not to explore too far on our own. Anyway, it's not really a ghost story but the whole place reeked of an uncomfortable air. Yes it gave you chills although it was winter in Norway.. there was a little talk of the place being haunted and so as you do a few of us lads went exploring the complex.. all sorts of giant cannons, pillboxes but as you got deeper there were creepy winding rooms and pits.. tens of meters underground we eventually found this metal door that opened into what was basically a cave, already ringing alarm bells we had a little venture in but didn't want to go too far off the beaten track (plus the place was dead scary. one of the rooms was apparently an old outhouse but the wood had all rotted and it looked like a scene out of silent hill). One of the lads got a bit spooked and wanted to head back. Arriving back the door we had previously opened to get in (and it's a big heavy door) was closed shut. We really struggled to get it back open without a group effort and the young one in the group swore he felt a presence. We all rushed back to civilization lol.
  4. Hi guys hope you're all safe from the election gossip. I've got a small outbreak of students using hidden folders to store their secret games and images on their personal drives and network shares. I've been using the cool search features on Windows 10 and 2012R2 to find all sorts of stuff I could never have before but I was wondering, is there any easy way to search for just hidden items? We have over 2000 students so going through them all would take years. I've made good use of search criteria like kind:=picture etc. and wondered if there could be something similar?
  5. After watching it every year I might have to miss it for a family celebration. Me and my partner usually host a themed Eurovision party which is a hit with our friends. I got Ukraine last year and won! You can never always go by what's most popular in the charts.
  6. Sadly I have a similar issue on the Mac, being unable to initialize the device. It does solidify my thoughts that the device may be broken. So far I've been unable to tinker with it in any way because it fails before any configuration is shown.
  7. Just had a teary-eyed HOD come in as their back-up hard drive has gone bust. After working on some files last night she can now longer get it to mount on any computer. Her main USB broke last month so she's been using her backup. I'm afraid I might have to give her the bad news. Disk Management shows it as an Unallocated 2048GB disk with no active partitions. I am unable to Initialize it as I get an error "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)." I took the drive out of the shell and put it in one of our cradles and it started whirring again however I haven't been able to find any leads. I'm unable to use CHKDSK /f as there is no assigned drive letter and the PC does not detect any volume to navigate manually. I did try some third-party apps which seemed to indicate a partition error. DISKPART also lists no partitions on the disk and shows it as a 2TB drive. this is strange as it is only a 120GB HDD. I can't see any sign of corrosion and I'm about ready to call it dead, but I always find it good nature to ask the true professionals before giving a girl the sad news! I have never had a good experience with partition recovery tools and it seems like they all lure you into costs or come from some shady company that run a bogus 'scan' and suggest that yes it is possible to recover your data before directing you to a shop. I wanted to ask if anyone had used software of this nature with success before?
  8. I've given the printer deployment a go and it looked great... but the set default printer option was grayed out. Do you have it at user level by any chance?
  9. Hi all, we are halfway through upgrading our school systems to windows 10. Apart from a few ICT classrooms most of the student computers are now on the latest OS. However, we are having a problem setting the default printers via policy which is causing a hell of a mess since Adobe PDF is the first on the list and they don't think before pressing print. We used to deploy via pushprinterconnections.exe and set the default printer on startup using the vbscript below: Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server\printername" This seems to work except on those we have upgraded to Windows 10. I've been advised to try using a .bat, which threw up a few errors and didn't look optimistic. Google hasn't been much help in finding anything different to how we used to do it. Has anyone else come across problems of this nature?
  10. You can form Zygarde and depending on how many cells you have it will be the 25%, 50%, or 100% powered forme. You can make Zygarde, and then power him up with additional cells later.
  11. It's precisely my excuse to be talking about games at work, yes ...But really I've been on the site a few times for help and thought I should probably just register. I work at as a school tech.
  12. What's everyone's current preferred ways to power-level pokemon (for filling pokedex entries) Just repeating the Elite Four?
