To speed this along. Place this in some fiddle or codepen.io

This way we can see the result. Also, what's a correct sort?

Just to share a little more. From an article on Windows 10 Developer Mode, I think you may find this of interest.

In Windows 10’s Creators Update, putting your device into developer mode relaxes restrictions on creating symbolic links. Previously, it was only possible for Administrator users to create symlinks. This is still the case on Windows 10—unless you put it into Developer Mode.

In Developer Mode, a user account with any level of privileges can create symbolic links. In other words, you can open a normal Command Prompt window and use the mklink command. Outside of Developer Mode, you’d need to open a Command Prompt window as Administrator before using the mklink command.

Don't frag me here but I think we would overpay for prebuilt gamer PCs. I'll give a nod to https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Desktop-G11CD-DB73-GeForce-processor/dp/B01LZS67LQ/ since it has bleeding edge CPU, DDR4, SSD and the 1080 GPU.

If I was going with a gaming desktop, I build but I did run repair shops for years so to me it's not a big deal. But where would I start?
https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds

My favorite tweaks to that is to ditch spinning drives and kick up the GPU to the 1080 or as close as I can.

I'd start by correcting the 8 errors https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fbegold.eu%2F found.

As to SEO, that area is something well done. But make your site code perfect would be my first step.

Just a thought. Are you sure you didn't swap dest and source?

@Dani. I typo'd there. Meant to write "new question in an old thread." Thanks for the discourse.

The S7 was from I recall was indeed bricked world wide.

Advice: Get your full refund (everyone I know got a full refund) and then wait for the resurrection model S7.

The word is they will refurb and re-fit these with a smaller battery.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome.

I'll take my time to learn the new forum and ways. I know better than to wear the same hat and ideas here but feel free to correct me as I learn. That is, part of moderating is keeping an open mind and at times a thick skin. It's an odd combination. Something like a cross of a philosopher and a rhino but a better temperament.

Then break it down to bite sized code passages you can manage. You have dozens of things to get working so break up the effort to smaller tasks. That way you can work your way up to a finished app.

@Dani. Good to know it's there. The other forum uses it without much ado. That is, if the thread is years old and the post is spam, we call that a drop and lock. No notification is given to the spammer and the old thread (we try to keep the line of the lock to 2+ years old) is closed/locked.

Now if a member posts a new question in a new thread, we don't have a split feature so a mod might ask them to re-post or if it's a simple question in a short thread (one page or less) then an answer might be had. But if it takes going to page 8 to reply, their plea/question is effectively hidden as the plans were in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.

Such a buried question is then treated with a reminder it's buried and asked to repost and the thread is locked.
This hasn't upset too many. Unlike... when the Universe was created. See The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

@Dani.

It's a tool, and we had to use it from time to time. I see an example given and another is a thread with 500+ posts about should I leave my PC on or off. After a decade, that's plenty of answers for folk to plow through. Since we actively eject spam, the only new posts were spam so it was time to lock the thread.

Without a locking feature, moderators would have more to check out.

@Dani. Just my opinion. One of the usual forum moderator tools is to lock old posts. This fixes the necropost issue over time as moderators can lock or close an old discussion.

It's rare but once in a while we'll have to pre-emptively lock what is a blatent shill post if not outright remove it.

Pen drives are not forever drives. I come across dead ones all the time (folk bring me their bad things to look at.)

Go try that HP USB FORMATTER and see if it comes bout but we are talk a MacD happy meal priced item today.

OP: I did a test at rushordertees and it can in at 17 bucks each for 6 tees (didn't finish so may be shipping and tax later.)

So in short.

1. Shop around.
2. See if your city has a custom T print shop.
3. Consider kits like https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Transfers-Printers-light-colored-08938/dp/B0006HV2ZE/ which gets you 18 transfer sheets for about 1 buck each.

I found https://developer.kandy.io/tutorials/javascript/address-book and it even has it up on CodePen.

While I wonder why the == true is there, in Visual Studio for over a decade I can break on the suspect line to examine the variables and see what's what. Try that.

That doesn't look stock. That is, not in the Android Studio kit I use. I'm going to write it's a custom soft keyboard. To see what work you are getting into, read https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-custom-keyboard-on-android--cms-22615

Ahh, so this is the opposite of Net Neutrality.

https://www.google.com/search?q=squid+traffic+shaping+a+certain+web+site finds what I was looking for. Remember I am electing to not write a tutorial here but find the right words and tools for you to get there. That is, I know Cisco gear and CCNA could do this but when folk ask I think they want it using tools like Squid.

"Here's a full example of how to shape traffic between the proxy and origin based on the request target. It assigns websites one of three priorities, after the upstream bandwidth is scheduled by priority, each client gets an equal portion of each priority."
It's deeply technical and something your IT staff must deep dive into at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Traffic+Shaping

Note example is changing priority "# Give high priority to Wikipedia, low priority to YouTube"

Remember I take it you are a networking master here and only need pointers to the apps and example for your Squid server.

I'm no expert at this but found reading https://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4834186.htm to make me think this was expected.

That is, we are dealing with a black box in respect to Google. And folk are trying to poke around in the dark to see what's up. The zombie traffic and organic traffic is noted to be related one to the other so my thought is that the real payoff is zip and zero after the changes. No real (as in people) traffic in spite of what the reports say.

I didn't find why you want me to visit your site. Go ahead and tell us why we need to go there.

Are you active here? Let's check. 71 posts over 3 years. Don't take this to wrong way but to get some you have to give some.

Here's a big thing. Ready?

It took five years

And even less bucks. https://www.amazon.com/DayClox-Original-Digital-Calendar-Non-Abbreviated/dp/B00L1XCBSO runs at under 60USD and would let you plug and play.

Yes you can build your own but for what number of clams?

That's a question I saw in another forum and the short/long answer is to use something like Squid or why not Squid?

Since there's plenty about that, the next problem I hear is the IT staff is not able to get it done. My answer to that is new staff.

@paul. I see no mention of Rasberry Pi in your top post.

But let's get to work. First why Pi this one? https://medium.com/@simonelippolis/create-a-smart-clock-with-raspberry-pi-d190995dcb49#.rvp94cj7h gives me the feeling this is over 100 EU or 100 USD so for this round I'd look back at some 7 inch Android tablet and see if we can steal some Magic Mirror magic.

Let's steal a project like http://www.instructables.com/id/Android-Motion-Sensing-Smart-Mirror/

I see that's just a web page so you can change it to your exact requirements.

And save some bucks. 7 inch tablets are 50ish USD here.

For this I used google (your topic and added vb.net.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X8lcO3qrOY looks OK as far as ComboBox's own features go. There are dozens more but you know that ComboBox doesn't do all that you asked. Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/298234/combobox-autocomplete-like-string next.

When I travel for the company they cover taxi, bus, train and other transportation costs. So while many have used Uber the places we go at times have outstanding mass transit systems. I had the luck of going to Taipei many times and after the taxi from the airport would use mass transit and the occasional taxi. A few times reminded me of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

After a few trips we found a local transportation company (they have all of 3 or so vehicles) and for the airport to hotel and back used them exclusively (no more Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.)

I hear the crew continues to use mass transit (we are an adventurous lot), taxi and Uber.

My thought is this is a system design question. And philosophical one too. One of my older apps at over 10 years old externalized a lot of things which kept me from changing the core code.

Example: The company was sold and the reports needed a change. The template was external so a file edit and done. A two minute job.

Not only that but saved a trip through product testing as the rule was if the .exe file changed then a full product test was required.

Now for the downside. It does leave the app open to beginners tinkering with the external plain text files.

Wow. Reading your woes over the years at https://www.daniweb.com/members/565624/tarael1/posts I fear the answers are not going to be easy.

I can't guess how you get this far after so many years of troubles with booting. I'm going to write the issue of scandisk is well done and you would have to change Microsoft to stop that from occuring.

Maybe you should pick your poison (OS) and just run that with the others in a Virtual Machine.

@Assertnull. It's one of the longest times I've seen to date. My mother worked there but I was in another country at the time so I couldn't invest the time to help them avoid this. It was by chance I was there on holiday and had given them a recipe to install their own CCTV for a fraction of the cost of what they were paying a service for (another story.) I gave them the recipe, had it installed and while I was on vacation swung by to see if they needed some procedural assistance. After that was done they asked about how I would go about the web site. So the current consultant was asked and you betcha "Oh no, you need a full custom web site." I wasn't their to blow that out of the water and the story is now one to share.

I'll keep this to just one of many examples. I was asked about this years ago and suggested they use a ready to go shopping site like Godaddy. They had another consultant tell them to make a full custom site.

5 years pass and the site is not up and they are 6 figures and approaching 7 when the owner finally blows the project up.

New consultant comes in, sets up a Godaddy site and sales begin in 30 days.

Lesson? Sell your stuff. If you are not selling Web sites, then go with ready to go selling sites like Godaddy, Amazon, Ebay etc.

Just my thought on this. I've been at such since dBase days. We used that and Clipper then Btrieve and so on. Why not MySQL? I used it since about 2000 and the apps made back then are still running.

This is like asking what is the best hammer. My answer is that your hammer skill matters more than the tools.

If you want other than integer, then use other than integer on line 16.

Frankly, bar code decoding should be a function you add to your app rather than craft it again.

But I fear you have missed the big lesson in coding and that is how to research. I find many new programmers are loathe to do research and some go so far as to "gimme the codez." Decoding barcodes, how to and more was easy to find using any of the major search engines.

I have to add this. Go get the free Visual Studio before you get old ideas locked in that you have to unlearn.

More on topic, VB6 worked as an event driven system and you may have to add a doevents() after the graphics action to see it happen. Otherwise the events and calls pile up and are handled at a later time. I decline to write more about doevents() since it's well done.

Here's my thought on dying, etc.

1. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/graphs/contributors gives me a snapshot of develments of jQuery. It looks like a mature system. The open bugs at another page is only 69 with many being marked as need more info and other states.

This is in sharp contrast to jQueryUI's 1200 plus open bug count and the upward trend. This is a sign of the developers either not bearing down on the bugs or closing those that are Roseannadanna 's.

1. The attraction is there for jQueryUI so dying isn't what I'd call it. Just a project in need of some fresh blood.

@Dani. That's sad. You write they dumped the curated content and didn't update the top page to reflect the move away from curation.

Ouch. The worst find was that bug or ticket count. It is rising, not falling. Time to reach out to them directly about this or file your bug report. I didn't know about Dojo so this was nice to read about alternatives.

I hear that and decided to head to https://jqueryui.com/ to read why this is. Right there, at the top is a great reason why it's the way it is.

jQuery UI is a curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library.

I don't know what you read into that but to me this means that many contributed and may be nothing more than a collection of things folk have written over the years.

Now I can't guess if you are using one of the items there or buidling your own jQuery item. I see they do have a bug report system but my bet is it's for jQuery and not something that someone contributed.

https://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticketgraph didn't inspire confidence as ticket counts appear to be rising over time.

Now I get it. OK, I took another reading in the google adsense forum and it looks like the answer is no page level for desktops yet. Not that others didn't ask.

@Satyam, in the IDE, break on your line 3 and 4 as shown above to see if the condition is met.

@RJ, the last time I did this I used the web component to play video. It's native so I avoided adding 3rd part items.

I'm unsure of what line 4 is trying to do. Why not use the focus method noted at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms743469(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-2

I'm reading https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/6245304?hl=en and thinking maybe it's here.

I wouldn't call it cloaking but https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355?hl=en does give us pause that we could run afoul of Google's view on this.

I think User Agent Content Negotiation ( from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_negotiation ) is not uncommon and I see no problem with that.

That is, if the content on the page differs, ie you get 10 items on mobile and 5 items on desktop but give 12 items to the search engine then the link/answer in paragraph one tells us we are in possible trouble.

What I could not find out is if Google's search bot looks for this.

@OP. Not to leave you without exits. The following is something we can leverage to get a video player in our app fairly easily without adding 3rd party tools.

We can play videos in web browsers. Controls are then possible in the usual javascript, HTML that the web element would use.

If I were to do this again, I'd use the Web component or think about VLC in Visual Studio. There are many priors and how-tos today.

I can't know if you are using your own controls or using some object. Since I can't guess this, I have to go with what you wrote.

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?635159-RESOLVED-remove-WMP-controls-and-close-form-when-done-playing sounds like a workaround if you are not in control of your objects.

Language. You asked to "disable the play" and not stop playback. So I would be guessing what you meant. Since controls can be disabled I have to guess you mean what you wrote.

Solution: In the handler for the stop button. Disable the play button. Remember you didn't share what language so in psuedo code it's something like playbutton.enabled = false;

Then borrow a friends model for a test.

Here's a thing. USB devices can work here but not there. It's good to test on other machines but it's not going to tell us much. For this round all we have discovered is this mouse and another isn't working on this Apple. Time to try a name brand like Logitech.
