I have found out today that you can’t enable automatic login and can’t use an enhanced session within hyper-v. Even if you enable enhanced session in powershell using cmdlet: Set-VM “Ubuntu” -EnhancedSessionTransportType HVSocket The session will only connect natively, which will result in no scaling abilities and poor video performance. Auto login is not supported […]
Call of Duty Warzone on a Mac
Recently I got into Call of Duty Warzone and was playing on the PS4. On my previous post I decided I needed to get back to the Keyboard & Mouse route so glued some foam to a plank of wood and called it a Sofa Desk. You can’t natively run Warzone on the Mac, at […]
SOFA Desk
I started playing Call of Duty: Warzone the other day on the PS4 but I kinda miss playing games on a PC with keyboard & mouse. I’m by no means a pro with a keyboard & mouse but I used to be quite handy on CS:GO and I can’t get on with fps with controllers. […]
Exercise
I used my alotted daily exercise slot to take the little one for a walk (push) around “Oxclose Woods” earlier today. It was great to have some fresh air. With the power of the measuring tool on the iPhone, I measured the gradient of “the steep hill”, a challenge on the calfs, if pushing a […]
Lockdown
In the UK we went into lockdown on the 23rd March 2020, to try and slow the spread of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus). Everyone is at home, oldest is being home schooled (but it’s easter break right now so he’s “off school”). Youngest is thinking “Why do I have to share mum now?” I’m continuing to […]
Office 365 Account Takeover
Microsoft now have over 100 million monthly subscribers to their Office 365 SaaS platform. Companies have shifted their email and file data to Exchange Online and SharePoint on a mass scale and thought “that’s one less headache now that Microsoft are managing it”. There is no denying, the platform is well fortified and is possibly […]
ANET A8 – 3D Printer Build
I thought about it for a while, watched a bunch of videos then decided to buy a new Anet A8 off eBay for £135. You have to be careful to make sure it’s an Anet A8 and not just an A8 as some of the cheaper kits where made of wood. Here’s some pics from […]

ESP8266 D1 Mini NodeMcu with Amazon Echo
I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos recently, the likes of Colin Furze and James Bruton. I spotted the ESP8266 on James Bruton’s channel, he’d used it to enable alexa voice control for Colin’s voice activated flame thrower. So I bought myself one from Amazon along with a Relay shield for the sole purpose […]
Internal Active Directory Domain Matches Company Website Domain
I’ve had a situation recently (which is quite common particularly as Microsoft don’t support .local domains for things like SkypeForBusiness) The issue arose when the company Active Directory domain matches the external website domain and the company isn’t using www. record for their site, so people can’t access the corporate website internally. e.g. http://joebloggs.com My […]
