Saw Obsession yesterday, premise of the film being a young guy (Bear) is having issues confessing how he feels to his crush (Nikki). Wonders into a curio/natural healing shop and discovers a 'One Wish Willow' which will grant him a wish, consequences and all, then wishes that Nikki will love him more than anyone else in the world. Was obsoletely amazed by this film given thy tiny budget they had to work with and the relative youth of the cast and director. Performances of the main actors are all phenomenal especially Inde Navarrette who gives one of the creepiest performances I've ever seen, on par with Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and deserves an Oscar nom. Gory, scary, unrelentingly creepy and gut wrenchingly tragic; Haven't left the cinema this floored since seeing Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. One of the best horror films I've ever seen, 10/10 must see for horror fans.

Lets just pray to Christ that MI5 and GCHQ have more competent individuals running things because if not we're doomed.

Hmm, seems that to me that's more an issue with the way people are working rather than an issue with wanting to keep your network secure. How can you justify delaying critical system updates and patches that are security vulnerabilities because people 'just don't want to restart'? Remember it'll your arse on the line in the event of a data breach because someone didn't restart for a month and a patch wasn't pushed to the user. Do you not have your own SLAs that define the need for sufficient network security? Can't say I'm familiar with Action1 but are you able to define critical security updates and general updates differently so users are only prompted to reboot to install critical security updates? Then have non critical updates at the end of the week or something.

Are you a mostly desktop school? If you use Impero or other task scheduler couldn't you send a shut down or reboot command to all desktops at 12am or something?

Saw the film Bring Her Back at the cinema a few weeks back, one of the last late night showings. A fantastic, deeply creepy film with some truly wince inducing gore and once again I'm blown away by the acting from one Jonah Wren Phillips who plays a sort of possessed boy used in a dark ritual. Sally Hawkins is also brilliant in this as a sort of possessive, manipulative foster mother who has a collection of bizarre/disturbing VHS tapes probably purchased on some not-so legitimate websites. Highly recommended if your stomach can handle some pretty violent scenes and some child abuse.

Got a chance last week to watch 28 Years Later at the cinema. Good film with some intense moments (and some pretty weird ones), great acting across the board as well particularly from the young actor who plays Spike and Ralph Fiennes who plays imo the best character in the film. Probably one of the worst endings I've ever seen, with an inexplicably dreadful celebrity cameo/impression.

A car vs money scenario... Please help me make up my mind!
Omega_NL replied to AB_IT's topic in General Chat
Any reason for wanting an SUV/Crossover? Surely you're going to get more value for money with an estate car, plus the back tends to have far more space in it. -
A car vs money scenario... Please help me make up my mind!
Omega_NL replied to AB_IT's topic in General Chat
I'm not really the best person to answer this given the car I'm currently running... I may be stating the obvious but try and search for an economical car, only 3 - 5 years old from a reputable brand with a history of good reliability and inexpensive parts. Some of these modern ICE cars can get well over 60mpg on motorways and you need not spend any more than £9k with not a ton of miles on it. -

Small typo, you've accidentally put '2's where '3's should be in the salary range. Thought you should know -
If you have multiple versions of that laptop take a photo of a laptop with the USB C port that's in the best condition, then either get an engineer to come out and fix it or send it off with another laptops back cover without the surface scratches near the port.

Excited for this. Looks bloody good if we're just going off the trailer.

Looks to me like the best deal for under £600 without a sale price. Saw this MSI prestige for £650 with 3050Ti: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Prestige-A12UD-036UK-Notebook-RTX3050Ti/dp/B09RPV72FX/ Might be a idea to wait for Black Friday this year if you can, or maybe look for something for £750 if you can find a way to claim the VAT back?

As Steve mentioned, use the send an email (V2) and it has an option to add an address in the From (Send as) field after clicking 'Show advanced options'. Here you can add an address manually or use dynamic content to make it change the sender address based on field data. I should think you'll need permissions to send on behalf of though as running the flow is still tied to your account.

[movie] Keanu Reeves Returns for 'Constantine' Sequel

In interview he said he'd love to return to the character. -
Nice! I assume early nineties was the buckling spring switch as opposed to the later rubber dome ones?

Reminds me of that about that proposed idea, though I do think it would be more enjoyable with professionals.

Been using Ultrawide monitors at home for about 4 years and an Ultrawide at work for about 8 months attached to a 1080p 16:9 display, mostly snapping two windows side by side so they're both about 4:3 in size. Mostly the work I do is 1st and 2nd line IT support stuff so your use case may differ. I found that curved monitors for 21:9's are almost essential to get a useful viewing angle, but with a more narrow display the curve might be less useful. 1440p would have more benefit for gaming though I would say I haven't noticed text being too small for me to read though that may also be a preference. Some computer hardware shops may have some on display you could try out?

Mine arrived in Reception earlier, got some else to collect it Thanks mutchly VeryPC! Is it bad that I've scoffed the Haribo 3 days after getting a root canal?

Maybe go the more "American" phrasing of the job role, along the lines of IT System Administrator. If the job role is still managing 1-2 techs I don't see why you have to drop the 'Manager' part of the title.

If you're looking for a budget gaming PC, I would probably recommend a AMD processor. Ryzen 5 3400G or around that price range. Use pcpartpicker to spec a PC around this CPU. This should leave you around £150 for a GPU. Recommend a GTX 1650 or 1660 if you have the budget.

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but one thing of note is when ordering new PCs or SSDs they should be at least 120GB in size as Win 10 ver 1903 supposedly reserves 7GB of storage for updates. We predict having issues with our older machines with 64GB SSDs come summer when we re-image them.
