 | Has anyone had a look at [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/?login-source=floatingSignup)?  |
| | I'd be happy to answer Python questions provided you give a little more detail. I'm far from an expert but I'll help if I can.  |
| | I've been running Windows Defender on seven computers for years and never had a problem.  |
| | I'm going to offer an obvious, but probably not correct, suggestion. My laptop (ASUS) has a little slider that covers the webcam. It might not be as obvious on your laptop as it is on mine.  |
| | I don't work with PHP although I've done a fair bit of SQL and SQL selects return recordsets that you have to step through to get all of the returned records so I'm thinking you'll need to process the records in a loop. Your comment >/A record was returned, display … |

 | What help are you looking for? Do you need help picking a design tool? A framework? What is your current skill set? |
 | Greetings from the other side of the wall. Welcome to Daniweb. |
 | Generally it is hard to offer SQL suggestions without seeing the code. Are you closing the connection manually, or are you using a context manager?  |
| | Nope. I never found another place that felt as comfortable as Daniweb. |

 | A friend of the family (friend of my parents) was one of the people who got dosed in the MKULTRA program. |
 | Your statement does not set a form location. It just creates a point structure. To set a form position in C++ you can do SetWindowPos(hwnd, NULL, x, y, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER); |

| | Yes. But like most technological changes it will create new jobs. |

| | We will offer help but we won't write your code for you. Please revies the community rules/guidelines which state, **Do provide evidence of having done some work yourself ** |
 | I have never had any success dealing with a chatbot so the first thing I type is "speak to an agent". |
| | Astrology is BS. The only reasons to consult an astrologist are: 1. You want bad advice 2. You have too much money and you want to throw some away If #2, consider donating to an animal shelter instead. |

| | Without knowing what opportunities are available for each, would you be happier building the tools, or using them? In both cases you'll need the same core skill set. In my case I found it much more fulfilling to build the tools. |

| | My biggest fear is an expansion of misinformation to the extent that we will not be able to trust that anything we see, hear, or read will have any basis in reality.  |
| | Never mind the robots. They've been promising me flying cars since 1950. Where is my flying car?  |
 | I developed a Sudoku app in Python and doing it without using OOP would have been torturous. Using wxPython without OOP would be near impossible. |
