 | Think of a toolbox. Why buy tools you aren't going to use? ## Yup, everyone needs a 10 meter wide hole saw. |
 | How are you dealing with the current 2025 US Administration where your papers don't seem to matter? I know the Canadian Consulate is warning their citizens to avoid visiting the US.  |
| | And here I'm hearing: # > Stop putting AI into everything. Also, you don't want something so why buy what you don't want? |
| | There are dozens if not over a hundred of these out there. There's no way for me to pick one for you. However there are a lot of folk trying to "script" their way into running sites without putting in the time to learn about what they are using. Google … |
 | Sure. Go to Moscow, check into their bureau of economic development and you'll do fine. Let us know how it turns out.  |
 | Interesting site. I made many trips overseas to find out why the company products were experiencing early failures. Nearly all the hardware failures were tracked back to [Counterfeit electronic components](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfeit_electronic_components). Does your company warrant the components and pay for the damage caused? |
 | 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.  |
| | 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 … |
 | 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. |
| | In the news: > [Trump Administration Withdraws ADA Guidance ](https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/03/20/trump-administration-withdraws-ada-guidance/31368/) Looks like it's no longer a problem. |
| | For now I'd not visit the worst of the 195 countries in the world. The USA has changed teams so it's far too dangerous for visitors today. Also: > The **best in this** kind are but shadows, and the worst are no worse if imagination amend them. Play: A Midsummer … |
| | "Never judge a book by its cover." - Unknown. And book sales are way way down. But here's the book I recently bought. It's title is: ***"The Subtle Art of Resistance: Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism"*** which is the problem of today. PDFs and E-books are where it's at. |
 | Best Danish joke I heard today follows: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: Do you want to hear a Joke? Trump: Sure. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: **Greenland.** Trump: I don't get it. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: Exactly.  |
| | 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 … |
| | 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 … |
| | Thanks for the MVE (minimum viable example). But it's just bad code. c, c++ and a lot of language won't stop you from going out of bounds.  |
| | Given the state of affairs in the USA, any security we thought we had is gone. DOGE is gaining access by force now. Do we really need this conversation? |
 | I see content from about July 2024. You are being impatient. Traffic and such take time to grow. Some want instant results. |
| | Isn't that a little basic for the Dev Technosys company to not fix themselves? What happened to the coders and developers you had? |
| | |
| | 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 … |
| | 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 … |
| | 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. |
 | 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 …  |
