The user boxes on Konica Minolta Bizhub Printers are handy to quickly print additional copies of common office documents, however what happens when the printer has been in service for over a decade and time comes to replace it? you’ll probably find no one has any idea where the (essential) data on the printer originated from. So the question than becomes if its possible to get a digital copy of the user box data off the printer, so it can be stored on the new printer. Although its not immediately obvious this is indeed possible using the Web UI of the printer. The printers Web UI does offer the option to download a PDF, however on our Bizhub C220 this process was very slow as it had to be done for every document in the user boxes individually if you didn’t want them to all be combined in to one huge PDF. Thankfully their is another way, although not perfect it does allow you to export the user boxes in batched of 10, all to individual PDF’s named exactly as their were on the printer. Below I have detailed how I managed to do this for over 100 documents relatively…

Currently they are some great low powered “NAS” motherboards from Chinese manufactures such as BKHD, CWWK and Topton which feature very low power 11th Gen Intel processors, such as the Celeron N5105 or Pentium N6005. While these processors will never win any awards for raw processing power, they are very power efficient and support Intel Quick Sync. Quick Sync allows for video to be hardware transcoded on these low powered processors, with next to no load on the CPU and very little power usage. This is perfect for a NAS / low powered home server you might also wish to run Plex on, Plex can make use of Intel Quick sync to hardware transcode media to a different format the device streaming the media can play, with very little power and cpu load. The only problem is hardware transcoding does not seem to work by default on Unraid with 11th Gen Intel Processors. The fix however is quite simple, like anything, once you know how… I spent a lot of time trying to figure out this issue, this is how I managed to fix Plex hardware transcoding on Unraid with my 11th Gen intel NAS build. First log on to…

Making Kodi autoplay a playlist when loaded, then repeat that playlist until stopped is not as straight forward as you might think, with some trial and error reading the issues various people encountered, this is how i ended up successfully making Kodi play and repeat my video play list when started / loaded up.

As you are probably aware if you are reading this Twitter are closing down the TweetDesk desktop application, however fear not. TweetDeck Web looks exactly the same as the desktop application and you can essentially emulate how the old TweetDeck app worked using Google Chrome and a bit of trickery. Essentially you can create a shortcut that will run TweetDeck website in a borderless web browser window, complete with its own icon. As you can see below from the screenshot comparison below running TweetDeck in a borderless web browser window looks exactly like the TweetDeck desktop app. Your TweetDesk desktop web app can even have its own icon on the taskbar, just like the old TweetDesk desktop app did: How to Use TweetDeck Web as a Twitter Desktop App: If you’d like to set TweetDeck Web up as a Chrome desktop app you first need to have downloaded and installed Google Chrome: Download Google Chrome Before getting started its worth mentioning this could used to do this directly in Chrome, however i no longer see the option in any of my current Chrome installs. The option used to be under Tools > Create application shortcuts, from here here you could add a frameless webpage…
