    Phones?

    One thing I've learned about Apple being in IT, is that you have to use their devices the way THEY intended. You have to do things THEIR way or you'll struggle. They're all fantastic for personal and home use but the minute you start trying to integrate them into a work environment they become stubborn and uncooperative. A good example is simply sending a file via Bluetooth. I'd really want to give them a fair chance but for the price of them there's no real contest. The alternatives to iPhones are cheaper and overall more versatile.

    Yeah HTC like to brand the shit out of their Android distro. They changed the 'Flashlight' app recently. It used to have 3 brightness settings but now it's changed to just on/off. They also changed the IR TV remote app to some third party shit that doesn't work as well as the original HTC one. Great phone. Shit Android distro. Mmm. I'll have to look into that.

    HTC One M8. Hatchgunner's going to comment soon enough with the same phone cause he's a filthy copycat <3 Lovely screen. Stellar build quality. There's one speaker at the top and one at the bottom. Turning the phone landscape gives you stereo audio projected right to your ears. It's magnificent. The stupid thing is, the rear camera is of lower image quality than the selfie camera. And even though it has the gimmick of taking augmented 3D photos with the help of a range sensor, the camera isn't all that great compared to today's market. This is something they rectified with the M9 though. My upgrade date is October and i'm already looking at new phones. Im really loving the Samsung S6 Edge and i'd be very happy with the S7 if it's still available when i upgrade.
  4. Pulled the right mouse button off. Snapped the top plastic in two. My shots were much better though. It was like fighting with a handicap before. I tried sticking the plastic back together in vain. Lost my temper again and butchered it with the pliers. Boxed it back up neatly and it's now sat in the bin. I think i need a holiday.
  5. Ordered a Corsair Sabre ;-;
  6. Definately not geo-specific. They're fucking everywhere.
  7. Just demolished my new mouse in a fit of rage. The right click breaking point was so light that there was hardly anywhere for me to rest my finger. I kept accidentally holding down the right mouse button and it was blocking my left mouse button from registering clicks. So i'd be playing CS and my gun would just stop shooting and i'd get shot for just running around. I ripped it to shreds (._. ) Only had it a week. Need a new mouse now. Ps. in all honesty, the RGB was shit. You can only see it when you're not holding the mouse. Setting the colour to white would show an off pink colour. And lastly i really didn't like the white top plastic. It was too glossy.
  8. Aaah i have missed these maps. I'll look forward to playing them again. Thanks Skeff~

    Aye, surprises can be awesome. But that? That ending? I had the feeling i'd wasted my time watching it. Everything's a lie. Nothing has changed.
  10. In some of my schools, all you have to change is the proxy's port to one used for unrestricted traffic. Some schools you can just switch it off yourself if you know how. (These are primary kids i'm talking about though) 80 or 3128 are usually default. 6665 unrestricted. Again, this is a stab in the dark. >Open Internet Explorer >Click the gear button in the top right >Internet Options >Connections tab >LAN Settings Try unticking the proxy if it's enabled. In most cases you'll not get any connection at all. But in a few cases you'll now be unrestricted. But yeah, TOR is probably your best bet. It's portable too. My favourite thing to do when I was at school myself was create my own local admin accounts using a bootable USB drive. CS 1.6 LAN in school anyone? :D

    Never heard of Hachi, i'll have to take a look. As for The Martian, I watched that the other night and was thoroughly impressed. MEERT DEEMON I thought Shutter Island was pretty amazing right until the end. I hate it when they end the film with a stupid plot twist like SPOILER: He's only dreaming/insane and everything is a lie. Or: The whole film is secretly aliens so everything now makes sense. I have yet to see Revenent. I've heard good things :)

    I had the urge to watch The Pianist again yesterday. Don't ask me why. Such a brutal but fantastic film. There's that one bit though that makes me crease up with laughter every time. Adrien Brody was given a German officer uniform by a soldier and he wears it for a few weeks until Warsaw is liberated by Russia. He runs into the street and hugs the first Russian he sees. They all shout "GERMAN! GERMAN!" and start shooting at him. As he runs off he shouts back "I'M POLISH! I'M POLISH!" They take a good look at him and the Russians say "He IS polish! THEN WHY THE FUCKING COAT!?" He replies with the saddest puppy dog eyes: "am cold ;_;"
  13. It'd look hilarious in 90% of situations playing Jailbreak. But it might just work in some cases. I'd at least like to see someone try it.
  14. I never let go of it really. It still makes me wonder...
  15. So again running with my camoflage idea, hypothetically, could you just take a current CS:GO foliage/bush model and plaster it on the face of a playermodel?
  16. My dad worked with horses for a bit. We'd house-sit for the owner of the school/ranch(?) and it was a very interesting place. Made me wonder -along with Hatchgunner- if becoming a farrier is a good idea. I'm still very much tempted to give it a shot.
  17. You want to play as a prisoner in a maximum security jail with a bucket of KFC on his head what's your beef. I was giving an example. I had the thought when i was caught while trying to hide in a bush outside. It made me wonder if wearing a similar bush on my head would make a difference. But my main question is, how simple is it to implement custom items into the !store ?
  18. Yeah i get that. But how easy is it to just take a random model file and add it to the store? Give it a price and an option on the menu.
  19. How easy is it to add a model to the in-game store? I just got killed by Finnley (Bastard) because he could see my stupid Goku hat sticking out the top of a bush. It made me think, could i have been wearing a bush model as a hat? Maybe a camo helmet or something? Or even go all out and have a guillie suit.
  20. I kinda miss retail. Actually what i guess i mean is i miss the one shop i liked. Everyone was happy, the workload was moderate and the customers were lovely. I'm currently an apprentice IT Engineer but i'll be fully fledged in May. I support primary schools as north as Leeds and as south as Derby. The company has clients nationally. Not only schools. Schools are pretty easy going. A couple have some more specialist setups but most are run-of-the-mill. Working around kids is hilarious and i can understand why people go into teaching primary. You get all the shit in secondary/high school, but in primary schools all the kids are too nice to be arseholes. In my schools, im a bone-fide wizard. Every month or so everyone bings their rigs into the office on the last Friday and we have a LAN. Blackjack, Oculus Rift, sometimes a bit of retro too. It's a great job, but i was far more comfortable in my little corner shop.
  21. That earns you money enough to live on?

    Books

    I do like reading actual books, but recently with me driving from place to place all day, I've started using Moon+ Reader for Android. I'm finding it just as nice to use as reading an actual book. You can customise it to your liking too.
