When I work such an issue I set the breakpoint where the trouble is and examine variables. There's some variable that controls the output so that's what you look at. You've posted a lot about ray-tracing and that's all good but setting breakpoints to see what's going on seems to …

I don't use any shopping app. I use a web browser on the usual Amazon site. Why would we need a shopping app at all?

I'd try the solution found on a Reddit. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/17b9n4f/how_to_open_a_password_protected_excel_file_if_i/

If this is your first foray into data recovery, it's best to send it to data recovery shops. Any do-it-yourself or recovery apps are never a sure thing. You can try RECUVA but sometimes folk balk that it doesn't FIX the drive. No data recovery app should write to said …

First there is no such software since you will find variations across the world. Canada's tax system means you can't use almost any accounting software from the USA. Searching for such is country specific and what your company's CFO and others research and select. You'll discover that what you may …

I've had a lot of their laptops at my brother's insurance office. We've been lucky with them. OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up. So far Linux shows such drives since that driver is baked …

The mechanics of Windows activation is well discussed so I won't breach that topic. To your last question, yes. Also, for home users it doesn't matter if it activates later as Home or Pro.

Our old VB6 SQL apps began failing a few years ago. We hadn't worked on those for over a decade along with decommissioning the developer kits. Turns out the company using these had moved to Windows 10 which didn't exist back when the apps were developed or put into service. …

This is a rather well done topic so I'll share that at the office we are nearing the end of W10 and have moved almost all to W11. I can write we see little to no performance difference so we have that going for us. That said, the minimum hardware …

This assignment would get a failing grade if you used GPT or found code. Toss all that out and write it yourself.

After reading that "File access is removed in latest Android version." I see a broken stripped down system that I would abandon immediately. As to your requirements, that's quite a list and outside of PING required intimate knowledge of your router API. There is no known common API for routers …

1. Funding. 2. Nailing down what the app is supposed to do, look like, etc. 3. New problem: Do we use AI/ML/Generative tools? Answer to #3 here is yes. All companies and developers I know are using the new tools.

> A software development kit is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. As such your last question doesn't make sense. The SDK installs your software development tools and your code would be where the API is called but not a call to the SDK!

Why the Windows-7 tag? Also, why limit yourself here? Other algorithms such as dynamic programming or heuristic approaches may be more appropriate for achieving the desired outcomes.

Also participating in /r/solar and a techsupport subreddit. The first since we installed solar on the home and I had a few questions beyond what I knew. The second because once in a while I'll know what to try.

I've only dabbled in Pfsense but know to ask about that in https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/ where there are experts. Having said that, be prepared to answer deeper questions about said setup, routers and more.

The neat part about today's smart phones and apps is the ability to MUTE NOTIFICATIONS. It's NOT YOUR CHOICE AS THE DEVELOPER TODAY. It's our choice. Sometimes I find a developer or company that gets upset they implemented push notifications which I show them how easy it was to disable …

The police email scam is well known. That's about all you need to know that it's the scam of note. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1b592gr/is_this_real/ r/Scams has many other scams of note. Worth noting: 1. Do not track them down. 2. Ignore, block and report as spam. 3. No police use a Gmail …

1. With so few having VB6 now, you need to move to a current release. Help will be hard to find. 2. I can't load up your project. Few others can so by not posting the relevant code in the clear with your assessment, you see the issue? 3. VB6, …

This is like the other question "How long is a piece of string?" Time to develop can't be estimated without a lot more detail which as you may guess would be a lot of detail. If the game is simple like Tic-Tac-Toe, then you give the developer a day, maybe …

Given your posting history, you seem to put out single line questions that would be dancing around your real question or goals. I see few reply to you so why not skip all that and write what you really want to write?

Since the answer would be many pages long, read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/walkthrough-creating-a-windows-service-application-in-the-component-designer and consider the two other pages noted there.
