Google Chrome blocking apps?
I've had problems opening up an desktop based application for about a week, although after trying several times I eventually get it to open and work. Strangely enough once I get it opened, I can exit and open in without problems; that is until the next morning, then the problem starts again. I've been using this app for…

Mounting a hard drive underneath desk
Not really a hard drive, more an enclosure. This enclosure to be exact. A lot of the time it's just a case of knowing what's on the market to make your job easier. I've found some stuff on Etsy but it was getting on £30 which is a bit silly imo. I want it off the desk really but still handy. I was thinking of some under…
