Is Microsoft Solutions Partner Badge Really Worth It? 3 Days Ago by Mason_8 I've been reading about the Microsoft Solutions Partner program and wanted to ask the community is it actually worth pursuing for an IT company It looks like Microsoft has set certain performance and certification requirements that companies need to meet in order to qualify. They have categories like Infrastructure, Data & AI, Business … Re: Is Microsoft Solutions Partner Badge Really Worth It? 3 Days Ago by rproffitt Wrong person to ask. But it was 2 decades ago and Microsoft's support was nothing better than "did you turn it off and on again?" This on a ERP deployment and frankly a failure in my view because it increased the amount of time we spent on the project. Not to mention downtime as we waited for fixes and server responses times in the … Re: Is Microsoft Solutions Partner Badge Really Worth It? 3 Days Ago by Reverend Jim I have to say that I have had both terrible and outstanding results from MS support techs. It all depends on who you get.

In the first case, which covers every visual within the scaffolding of an app / site, we normally create them ourselves.

It sounds like a fun project so please do let us know how you get on. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro 3 Weeks Ago by trcooke Indeed not. He's 7 now. Yes you can get those free standing mounts, but I don't have any. My thermostats are wired into the wall. It'd be cool if you could just pop them off the wall and stick them on a stand anywhere you like, but alas you cannot. Are Cross-Platform Apps Slower Than Native? Or Is That Just a Myth in 2025? 2 Months Ago by Himadri_3 It’s a question we still hear a lot—and honestly, the answer depends on what kind of app you're building. A few years back, native apps definitely had the upper hand when it came to speed and smooth performance. They were built specifically for iOS or Android, so naturally they could tap into every feature and run super efficiently. But now? … Delete unused MySQL indexes 1 Month Ago by Dani How can I identify and delete unused MySQL indexes? I have a large table that has somehow accumulated way too many indexes over the years, and I'd now like to identify and delete indexes that are no longer used by the application. Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim I thought it would be as simple as DROP INDEX index_name ON table_name; As for removing only unused indexes, I don't know how MySql would be able to determine if an index is used, or not. You'd have to decide. Since indexes are used to find things quickly I would imagine that if you delete an index and then take a performance hit it's … Hello, I'm Tim Cooke 1 Month Ago by trcooke Like Ron McLeod, [who we met yesterday](https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/say-hello/threads/543368/hi-everyone-i-m-ron-mcleod), I'm a moderator and administrator over at the CodeRanch.com forums.

Before OneDrive it was easily done. Not anymore. Microsoft is slightly brain dead. Locations for shell folders are stored in the registry. You'd think they'd all be under "Shell Folders", but not all of them are. And you'd think they would have consistent names. But here are … Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim First app is Macrium Reflect so I can take an image of the fresh install. Then I repartition to C/D, move my user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to D. Then I take another image. After that I begin installing my base apps before imaging one more time. Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim Further note: Because Microsoft insists on crammine OneDrive down our throats, moving the My Documents is damn near impossible. I've found the easiuest way is to initially set up my computer using a Microsoft Account (something they have also made it almost impossibole to avoid), then create a local admin account and always log on with that.

Horrible system if you are expected to manage it without training (as was typical where I worked).

Re: Are Cross-Platform Apps Slower Than Native? Or Is That Just a Myth in 2025? 1 Month Ago by asadalig In 2025, cross-platform apps aren't inherently slower than native ones—it really depends on how they're built. Modern frameworks like Flutter, React Native, and Kotlin Multiplatform have closed the performance gap significantly. If developers optimize properly, most users won’t notice a difference. However, for extremely high-performance needs like… Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 1 Month Ago by Dani OK, so I found [this blog post](https://www.percona.com/blog/basic-housekeeping-for-mysql-indexes/) by the one and only Percona, that says that I can simply do `select * from sys.schema_unused_indexes;` which does give me a list of indexes.
