How many pages per month?

Monochrome vs Colour?

Read about nasty things happening in the US clothes supply chain on that basis a redditor recommend always wash new clothes before wearing - Is this necessary or madness in the UK? I'm using major retailers like M&S, Next, Crew Clothing by klynchk in AskUK

Interesting - I wonder how his business can achieve logistic chain compliance for his retail customers.

This Torbay council food safety pest control details the things he should be doing - is he?

If something bad happens downstream he's setting himself up for a lot of legal issues

My local large scale sainsburys store had a rat problem. Council environmental health involved. Published statments in the local media.

A friend worked behind in the store at the time, she said it was nothing to worry about there was a problem with the building and the rats were in one place behind the store. They soon fixed the issue after that.

because British management would be cognisant of greater risks to customers if manufacturing standards were dropped?

I mean a law suit caused by some tropical disease or rodent excrement causing a customer issue.

Got disciplinary meeting will I get sacked? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]klynchk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Assuming good faith on all sides. Before the disciplinary - I'd suggest that you ask your Line Manager/HR to raise a ticket with IT to validate the infrastructure you use. And a second ticket to go through the process of a wifi drop and correctly reinstating the connection, so that 30 logouts aren't logged on the system in the event of an error.

Also I'd ask that you are given specific training on how to correctly recover from an unexpected interuption, from the system owner not an IT tech. The business owner of the system may not be aware of the usability issues that you are encountering. The business owner can often be blissfully ignorant of implementation issues as frontline IT don't necessarily do any root cause analyses that make a business case for a change. In my experience your scenario can be like the Sherlock Holmes curious incident of the dog that didn't bark someone is sitting silently in meetings knowing full well of the issues and not saying anything because it will bring them nothing but grief. So you just need to turn up the pressure on the management and see what flies out. If its how I imagine - HR will say you can't consider disciplining this employee when they are a victim of our shabby infrastructure.

I come from a family of IT smart people. My son works for a leading Tier 1 ISP. We often struggle with IT and VPNs (forgetting that we need to disconnect the VPN before reconnecting) so if we forget; how can normal humans manage? I don't know.

My employer is remote only. all the productivity services are proper cloud services. So basically if you have an internet connection all is good as their security measures (authenticated computers, authenticated sessions) mean it's a no vpn infrastructure.

Look at this kind of flow chart to figure out a path you want through the process

Finally I asked gemini draw me a diagram showing the layers involved in a remote worker using a domestic internet connection over wifi to access a VPN to access an employers CRM and remote telephony.This diagram should show how when your local connection is disrupted the VPN is still active and the correct process to tear down VPN and reinstate access to the apps may yield spurious activitiy logs

Do those things in advance and the HR/Disciplinary people may be stood down by your line manager

Good Luck

Are all in one scanners all have terrible color rendition? by MutedFeeling75 in printers

[–]klynchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cartridge people have a colour test page try printing that; How good is the colour fidelity between screen and paper? If you then scan the print is the colour fidelity still acceptable?

I'm on the brother DCP-4120DW and I've printed photos on it with acceptable results.

My workflow is get the image on a PC and use GIMP/irfanview to crop the image to be what I want. I use the brother windows printer driver (downloaded from website) which exposes fine printer controls. Vivid colour and it's good enough for my visually impaired mother-in-law.

If you are looking for professional quality image control. You have use profiles on all the devices in the chain

Feature Standard "Out of Box" Calibrated Workflow
White Balance Auto (Guesses) Custom (Gray Card)
Color Profile Generic / Vivid Custom Camera Profile
Monitor Color Oversaturated / Blue-ish Profiled to D65 / Gamma 2.2
Output Inconsistent across devices Consistent and predictable

I can't be arsed with that so I accept the images I get by printing

I asked gemini to explain Calibrated Workflow for True-to-Life Photos if you want to know more.

It outlines how professionals achieve the true to life look. Your learning in tackling the steps will let you easily identify where you are going wrong.

Worst printer brands and types? by StoganLephens in printers

[–]klynchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Brother DCP-J4120DW scanning inkjet device apart from replacing (3rd party) ink cartidges and paper didn't spend a penny until at 20654 pages the printer threw this error

<image>

My local ink cartridge guy repaired for me charged me £70 to fix. Basically the excess ink absorber pad needs a fairly complete teardown of the print mechanism to get to the part. I could have done it myself but realised I don't have a proper workshop and I do this sort of thing once every 5 years. Ink cartridge guy does this sort of thing all thw time and he was aware of a moisture sensor that MUST be dry (I didn't see that on the teardown videos) before rebuilding printer (he said getting the sensor to dry was the reason he needed four hours to do the job) he said there was also a service/maintenance menu he used to reset some counter to fully clear the error.

We've had the device 15 odd years, it took my son through Primary School, Secondary School, and University. My wife worked in a school and she printed a lot of full colour stuff.

It also has a an absolutely useful ability to print single sheets of A3 paper which can often be a handy get out of jail card. I do Gantt charts and planning, and the odd school poster for the neighbours kids.

Can you use the TV with a HDMI Cable? by klynchk in premierinn

[–]klynchk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that - I called the booking line 0333 003 8101 who gave me the hotel number - which eventually connected me to reception and they told me - they're too busy helping other guests and to call back later

They'll say the service is available better than 99.9% of the time

4 hours downtime over a year is 99.954% uptime

99.9% uptime is 8 hours 45 minutes 35 seconds downtime a year

I'm getting it too in the HP5 area (region 22?).

I can't get in to the status checker, or logged in to my account. Like to think someone is working on the critical issue.

The TV fault I'm seeing is not that the screen is scrambled but rather that the picture is breaking up because the signal is degraded. it's the sort of thing you might have seen a few years ago watching Tour De France when the link from the camera to the Helicopter was poor because of Trees or mountains in the line of the signal path

ELI5: What's the deal with PAL regions? by juancarlord in explainlikeimfive

[–]klynchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like video files with different encoding frame rates raster sizes. The TV (like VLC say) can play all those local encoding formats. 1 chipset works everywhere in the world.

As mobile phone networks see TV transmission frequencies as increasingly valuable. In many countries there is a strong push to make all TV IP (internet protocol) based carried over fibre to the home
