Topic! Your topic is one thing so if you have a new topic about an error, then post about that along with enough code for folk to figure it out.

Also, if you post 100+ lines, sure but tell us the error and line number. This thread's topic is not about your code and error, just what you asked.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Resources are not files. Let's see some code that opened and read a file, not the app's resource.

It's still breaking a rule about storing passwords and should NEVER be used in any active site.

I've yet to determine which Windows so I have to write about Server versions and exclude the other scenario which differs.

I respect your need to keep secrets and wont' pry.

"AD" in this discussion would be Active Directory.

Welcome to the forums. Here you'll share your code and point to where you are having an issue on such and such a line. Maybe there are homework forums but here, you share your code and members try to resolve the error.

If we wrote your code, you would not have learned what the course is teaching.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Simple as I can. Remove power, press and hold the power button for 60 seconds, release and test the machine. It's just a simple reset that sometimes brings a machine back. If not, it's a deeper problem.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I think you're catching on. For Windows Server the account management is a big part of running the OS.

For your Windows 10 Home, Pro and such the only accounts the OS knows of are the local accounts so we have to add those users and then look to adding them without using Everyone or enabling the Guest account. AGAIN, I dismiss the Domain and AD Windows client sharing scenario here.

It's a bit of a mess to maintain so I never endorse this method.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

You can't talk strictly about Windows sharing because it varies from version to version of Windows. It's a mess.

On Windows Server versions you do this one way.
On Windows such as Windows 10 Pro, you add accounts on the "server" then add rights to the share and folder.

Take time to test all this out. And as Windows sharing is like you telling me you have jellybeans. Too many variables.
And Happy Easter.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

You must be writing about Windows sharing. Unless you are on a Windows Server OS, the list is only of the accounts the "server" knows about.

I'll dismiss the scenario of a Windows Client sharing when it's on a domain (just to keep it clear that's a different scenario.)

So "Everyone" is everyone with an account on this server. Unless you enable the Guest account. Then it's anyone, which is different from Everyone.

Confusing at first. And changes as we change Windows OSes from say Windows 7 Pro to Windows Server 2020.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

That reset is generic and you roll with the changes. Try it without the battery, try it without power for sure. The key here is you must try. This is not what Yoda said. You must try.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I see you need to get your command line working then we can share that command and help you put that into your Line 2.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

WIthout a motherboard would not make sense as the reset resets something or some motherboards.

As to the battery, I've yet to see a PC without a CMOS battery or a means to power the RTC and settings chip. If you didn't find it, you likely missed it or can't identify parts like that. Google up something like "Where is the CMOS batter on ____"? Fill in with your model number.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I know you must be a little frustrated on the lack of replies to your questions. I can see why when I did a little digging around.

But I do see this editor does have its own forum which was over at http://ckeditor.com/forums and now directs to a new place.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Bad news I fear. A good motherboard is usually all it takes to bring back a dead laptop. However try the following.

  1. NEW CMOS BATTERY. Cheap.
  2. A reset like this. Unplug AC, battery, then press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. Release, apply battery, power and re-test. If this is dead still then you have a dead laptop.

A few issues with your post. If you meant Access, just add that in your post or tags. There's a sliver of a clue in your post but you didn't tell.
Next I rarely see members write your code. Everyone seems willing to check out a short passage but if you want it written for you, then you post a "For Hire" posting.

To not overwrite a file, change the filename.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Take a moment to clarify if the issue is overwriting a file or is it the topic question?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Test that. You are talking about a 5 minute test to see if it does. My answer is it should not.
HOWEVER some sites autobot/drop/block shortened URLs. Maybe you are asking more than you revealed.

I took a look into this and came away a little worn. That is, I didn't find any specific example where this is. So if I had to do this I'd find out if any of the command line tools report this. Then I can research how it did that.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

First, forget how to do this in python. Start with how you do this manually. Let's get that working first.

Back to you.

Looked at the zip and can't see what I'm supposed to look at. Example.asm is zero bytes? Weird.

OK, let's google this. https://www.google.com/search?q=Assembly+program+x8086+that+converts+the+Decimal+number+into+a+binary+and+hex+number

Looks like folk have done this. That is, it's a wheel. Use wheels, create big things. Don't reinvent the wheel.

I'm confused by this question. Clarify what you are trying to do. Don't tell me how you intend to do this, tell me what you are trying to do.

I have found the old checker from MSFT to be hit and miss. That is, old iron that failed actually runs W10 very well. Example: 2006 Dell E1505 didn't run W10 until the BIOS was updated. Then it was fine. Yes we changed it to SSD otherwise it would have not been acceptable.

Just a suggestion, next time add a tag with the OS you are targetting. It looks like you haven't solved the autorun problem yet. We know the OS has it disabled so you go back to the design phase to create another solution.

I have a design comment. I see you are storing the password instead of a hash/encrypted version.
For example, https://www.google.com/search?q=don't+store+site+passwords+on+your+site

Stop and fix that first. Make what you stored in your database useless if it leaks out.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

@R, don't take this the wrong way but when I went to that page I saw so little of your text. That is you are proud of that picture but is that what you are selling here? Why all the empty space?

I think this is two searches and then combine these for your final script.

  1. https://www.google.com/search?q=count+number+of+files+in+directory+bash
  2. https://www.google.com/search?q=delete+oldest+file+in+directory+bash

Actually the second research seems to have something very close to what you were looking for.

How are you going to get your app to run?
https://www.engadget.com/2011/02/12/microsoft-rolls-out-long-long-awaited-windows-update-to-disable/

So even before you write one line of code, do you know that this was disabled about 6 years ago?

As to items 1 and 2, you are the author so let's see your code to date.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Remember this isn't one of those "give me the codes" forum but one for discussion and more.

To save to a database you'll need to select your database first. Not all web hosts have MySQL so what database you use depends on your choice and your hosting offerings.

http://phpfiddle.org/ has a SQL and there are examples on the web such as https://www.sanwebe.com/2013/03/basic-php-mysqli-usage

The scope is as wide or narrow as you decide. That is, I've use single chip devices (Microchip PICs) at 20 cents each with no external parts to solve a problem up to a big board with 3 DSPs and a big MCU. So scope includes not only your usual electronics course but software as well. You'll pick up assembler, C and more because your design often will be programmed by others. You start by delivering the design up on its feet with a working example of how to write an app.

Added with edit. I looked at your other posts and you might find yourself tasked with process control. For that you pick your courses to include exposure to PLC modules.

There's a lot to learn so in about 10 years you'll get there.

When you can't crack the problem, you break the problem down to smaller pieces.

It's going to be sheer luck anyone is running that setup so try this. Break the problem down to smaller steps. If a step can't be accomplished then it's too big a step. Break it down further.

Do try the PC maker's drivers first then if you can't sort it, consider some USB SOUND CARD. Examples at Amazon are under 10USD.

Mirty, I too was a little lost on my first Android app. So I googled "my first android app tutorial" and completed those. As to your questions, I think those would be in those tutorials. That is, complete the tutorials to learn how to make an app. Or at least your first simple app.

There is the old method worth knowing about. Find the KBnnnnnnn (the n's are the number of the KB) then google that KB number. Many of these have manual downloads and installers.

Worth noting are those cracked and crack activated Windows. These are known to fail WU (Windows Update.) Be sure you know your OS condition. That is, no cracks, not infected.

If you research your topic question, it appears you have your answer. (Google your topic question.)

As there is nothing new going on here, I have to write that there's really no reason to do this today. And it's only going to get worse as more folk use a proxy or a VPN. You are entering a battle where it's escalating faster than what you are willing to invest.

My answer is no, you won't be doing this.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

If the proxy is working, then you should not find their real IP. This is by design.

If you feel this is not acceptable and you detect a proxy you could warn the user they are using a proxy and that is not allowed.

I wonder if this is disabled in Chrome, many articles like http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2490222,00.asp so anything to get around this is a hack and most forums won't get into that.

Read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17994666/video-auto-play-is-not-working-in-safari-and-chrome-desktop-browser for a simpler bit of code. You are likely working at this too hard.
