Embedding a 100% height iframe in SharePoint Online Modern pages

Before SharePoint Online, I embedded cross-origin iframes to applications using the method described here. It uses a basic JavaScript Event Listener to receive requests from the child, such as resizing an iframe object on the parent to match the height of the content within.

Good news, this can be easily changed from the vCenter Appliance Shell.

How to stream or cast from Windows to Kodi

It’s possible to cast videos and music from a Windows PC to Kodi transforming your Kodi box into a poor man’s Chromecast. Windows devices can cast or stream content by leveraging a browser plugin for Chrome or FireFox.
