 | I see content from about July 2024. You are being impatient. Traffic and such take time to grow. Some want instant results.  |
| | My favorite reply so far: > Why should I read what no one wrote? |
| | I would NOT do this. The A9 wasn't on the list of phones according to Samsung that had this feature. But hey, try https://www.ebay.com/itm/272284482999 and for the keyboard and mouse go get BLUETOOTH models. I've seen folk do this and they feel upset it doesn't turn the phone into anything … |
 | The events in the country I live have lit a fire under me so while I am retired my new job is: 1. Activist. 2. Calls and letters to representatives which I find with 5calls.org and the government web pages. We are living the part of the story where people …  |
| | Can you share what doubts and concerns you have? If you need to take tutorials and courses I found https://www.google.com/search?&q=flutter+w3schools to mostly be free to use.  |
 | Please share the answer. Also, a man with one watch knows what time it is, a man with two watches is never sure. Same for using multiple tools, you can't be sure once you measure with different tools.  |
 | Your post reminds me of another question. Which is: > How do you get to Carnegie Hall? The answer to that is the same as getting better at web sites. Practice, practice, practice. There are folk that ask such questions but fib about the question in a vain attempt at … |
| | Who thought up that project name. Reminds me of **Kafkaesque** times. |
 | TBT, while I have a spiffy new W11 laptop I'm still migrating so I haven't seen this issue. But I won't give you nothing. (?) See https://i.imgur.com/1N625p5.png and look at the bottom right about "When to raise the interface". Try the other setting?  |
 | To the last question, yes and no. My background included writing code for a router long ago. So let's dive in. 1. There is no magic here. To get data from the Internet without using your mobile network, then it has to be over WiFi, Bluetooth and in rare cases … |
 | While Green Software is good to see here, how are you going to be Cybersecure in 2025 USA with DOGE breaking into all the US agencies? Even with locked doors and more, nothing seems to be secure against DOGE. |
 | I've been lucky and able to retain my 1st home and with luck and research have it in property management so there's not much I need to do to keep it rented out. That said some areas are faced with declining populations such as Japan. See https://www.akiya-mart.com/ What's quite wacky …  |
| | Here's an example I was given from the web: > 动态网自由门 天安門 天安门 法輪功 李洪志 Free Tibet 六四天安門事件 The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 天安門大屠殺 The Tiananmen Square Massacre 反右派鬥爭 The Anti-Rightist Struggle 大躍進政策 The Great Leap Forward 文化大革命 The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution 人權 Human Rights 民運 Democratization 自由 … |
| | My ATT story. Moved from MA to CA and needed to get the apartment setup. The apartment complex was an ATT only zone. Fine. Call ATT and their phone system kept routing me to their Massachusetts offices. No one at ATT could override that or forward me to the right … |
 | "Wiz Research Uncovers Exposed DeepSeek Database Leaking Sensitive Information" "Security researchers tested 50 well-known jailbreaks against DeepSeek’s popular new AI chatbot. It didn’t stop a single one." It only seems to get worse the more you look at DeepSeek. And I must note how it is known to not want … |
| | The everyday workhorse is a simple(?) built it myself desktop with the usual i7 etc. I did pick up a new laptop that I'll migrate to any day now which is the Lenovo Core i9 with all the trimmings.  |
| | I'm going to start with a joke: Q. How do I get to Carnegie Hall? A. Practice, practice, practice. You won't be doing what you ask without building up your skillset and learning how to create "things". Now if you need this today you outsource the work. I know folk … |
| | I defer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/tutorial-working-with-python-in-visual-studio-step-01-create-project?view=vs-2022 It is however possible this isn't a feature in VS2019. I will share I picked up VS2022 for under 50$ recently so that isn't the budget buster it used to be. |
| | Good timing. Here's a note from someone in my circle: > My boss uses a ChatGPT-alternative to generate complex database queries. He points it at the database server, gives it credentials, and then asks it in plain language to come up with a complex SQL query. It figures out the … |
 | UPDATE: Feb 4, 2025 — Google on Tuesday updated its ethical guidelines around artificial intelligence, removing commitments not to apply the technology to weapons or surveillance. |
| | I think you're looking at Feb 21, 2025. For me it's a blip and would wait it out. Why? Hardware and other Nvidia sales for the datacenters is still ongoing and with the change to allow use AI for war machines means a bright future for Nvidia, Google and others. |
| | Because of events at The White House I had to update some contacts so I was at https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative |
| | Re: Any Reddit pros? Reddit is quite the place so if you post anything promotional even if it's just your web page on How To Silly Walk you'll get the boot. And then there's KARMA which isn't a given and might be tough to accrue. What did you post? |
| | 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. |
| | Re: Page Speed Issue Can you substantiate such a claim? It's been over a decade but we deployed a Tomcat server to do vehicle tracking and didn't have any speed issues. Then again we didn't bother with Google's pagespeed testing. The site was just fine. |
| | Maybe you need to use the target attribute on that link. Example at https://www.w3schools.com/Tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_target |
| | Controls by default are locked in place (position) so that's a done deal. Explain further what you need. Also, VB6 is very old so while I did code in it till about a decade ago we have moved on to other platforms and there is no further access to the … |
| | Can you define "best"? Some mean cost, others mean market penetration, but here you didn't say. My answer is it's always your choice. What are you doing now? |
| | Electrical worker's joke: Q. Why do the lines hum? A. Because they don't know the words. |
 | Given the current DOGE climate should we move to Bluesky? |
The End.
