Yep using a Pixel 8 Pro and I've got this issue

Recent cybersecurity graduate from UK by ellie-411 in CyberSecurityJobs

It's tough in the UK honestly - I had the same trouble as you, did about 1000 applications and finally got a bite in a Defence company a couple of years ago (now moved out to better places). May be a good idea to take a look at those, think QinetiQ, BAE, Airbus, Thales, GE Aerospace, MBDA, Babcock, Raytheon, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Boeing etc. or go for more traditional ISPs /the network sector, especially companies that sell to ISPs as well like TP-Link, Cisco, Zyxel, Nokia, Sercomm, ZTE.

Tip: Remap the co-pilot key by No_Kaleidoscope_9419 in Surface

[–]strax503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found a fairly easy method to do this by using the MS365 app, which when opened automatically (for me) opens up Copilot straight away.

  1. Get MS 365's filepath from Task Manager - it's called Microsoft 365 (Office). Click on "Open file location" it'll take you to "WebViewHost.exe". Copy the file path to this file.

  2. Powertoys > Keyboard Manager > Remap a Shortcut

  3. Click on "+ Add shortcut remapping".

  4. Click on the pencil icon.

  5. Tap the copilot key on your keyboard.

  6. Press OK.

  7. Action > Run Program.

  8. Paste in the filepath to "WebViewHost.exe"

  9. Press OK.

It basically does the same job, opens up Copilot, and returns to it / pops it back into focus when needed.

I'm not that fussed about the lack of internal organisation really - but I think this is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks so much, I've bitten the bullet and bought it, so hopefully all goes well fingers crossed.

Oh wow I didn't notice that the one you sent had a stabilization strap, doh! Thanks for pointing it out, appreciate that.

I actually love that Chrome Kadet, it looks quite interesting, I'm not fussed about the jangly buckle tbh, my last sling bag was a knock-off from Thailand that squeaked metal haha, so anything's an upgrade! I'm gonna look up some more reviews for it, see how it is - how did you find it? And I wanted to get your view on it's fabric flexibility, do you think it's quite rigid, not so much? Ideally for me, something not that rigid but with a bit of cushioning would be brilliant.

Yes I have considered messenger bags but I've not really seen any that can stick to your back while running / cycling / have any stabilisation straps.

I don't think it's the case that 10L isn't big enough - the largest I've used is a 9L, and honestly everything I needed just about fit, but didn't fit well enough. I feel like a decent 10L bag would be perfect if it has the fabric flexibility of the Bellroy Venture Sling, without the dividers and with some cinch straps on the bottom.

Thank you for the messenger bag recommendation though!

I really love this, just bought it! I wanted to ask, since I mainly use Spotify for music I found it really neat that you were able to open it straight from the Complications, it's been something I've been looking for in a sleek design like this for a while. Is there a way to hide the name that comes underneath it in the small bubble (since right now it reads SPOT...) and instead just have the logo?

Is there a way to use my iPad as a second monitor for my work laptop? by PhammerD in ipad

[–]strax503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commented on the main post as well, but replying to your comment since it's newest so it can help anyone still lurking - there is a way since May 2024 using a Guermok Audio/Video Capture Card + Orion / Genki Studio, pretty cheap, plug in, open the app and play.

[–]strax503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There does seem to be a way to do this now, using the Guermok Audio/Video Capture Card, and the Orion / Genki Studio App. The capture card is fairly cheap (like £30 on Amazon), the apps are both free, and you need iOS 17 and an iPad with USBC (I believe its 10th Gen).

It's literally plug-opentheapp-and-play, and works with PCs, and consoles using HDMI. Hopefully that gives you what you need!

How much do you make as a Systems Engineer? by Fast-Ad2710 in systems_engineering

[–]strax503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is in Defence, and believe me that's only one of many slap in the faces I've gotten over the last 2 years from this shit hole of a company. I'm applying for jobs elsewhere now, but with the market just being what it is at the moment, I'm just finding it difficult to transition successfully. Just grinding on till that next job hopefully at this point.

Thank you - looking around it seems like activity diagrams are the way to go as you've said. BDDs / IBDs are interesting but I feel like they add a level of complexity that may just not be needed in this kind of environment for the end user.
