Then you have to design and create the algorithm before you write code. There's a lesson here about writing code before the design is done.

This assignment would get a failing grade if you used GPT or found code. Toss all that out and write it yourself.

Our old VB6 SQL apps began failing a few years ago. We hadn't worked on those for over a decade along with decommissioning the developer kits. Turns out the company using these had moved to Windows 10 which didn't exist back when the apps were developed or put into service.

We are still in negotiations about replacement apps along with estimates on the new apps.

Since you can't buy VB6 today, how do you write new apps in this?

Remember that I will not try this in said Pascal for many reasons. I have written a few apps using the FREE Android Development Kit from Google so let's say I wanted to start with ping. Google "android ping example source code" without quotes and you'll find code examples you can build on. Or try that on ChatGPT.

After reading that "File access is removed in latest Android version." I see a broken stripped down system that I would abandon immediately.

As to your requirements, that's quite a list and outside of PING required intimate knowledge of your router API. There is no known common API for routers to obtain a list of connections.

Finally, routers don't maintain a list of users by name (typical routers) so how you intend to determine that user name is a mystery to me.

Good luck in your quest.

I recall seeing this on Bing and Edge as well.

It shouldn't be long till Apple turns it on in Safari.

Let me share a tip about search today. Use “before:2023" at the beginning of your search string. You get a completely different set of results which won't include AI generated content.

Network level? My answer would be a VPN.

HTTPS and DNS? Why not use the Brave browser then?

Too much to type about that here so read how to set up at https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/ucx1jp/most_secure_dns/

Then again, why aren't you using a VPN and calling it a day?

Why either? https://www.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/tv39ig/eero_secure_vs_nextdns/ kicks it around and I can't see why to use either.

I noted the issues with your post and the problems with what is a dead system. While I do have one last VB6 dev laptop in storage I only pull it out for paid work. And at 250USD a hour the only company that pays is very careful about their requests.

You ignored how such problems are presented. ZIP file? Too dangerous today. You could have posted the code snippet along with what lines you think the problem is at.

Finally there's the issue of how you wrote up the problem description and more so the lack of a document detailing the expected software operation. AKA the spec.

Sure, go ahead and claim I didn't supply the solution when you didn't supply the problem properly.

1. With so few having VB6 now, you need to move to a current release. Help will be hard to find.
2. I can't load up your project. Few others can so by not posting the relevant code in the clear with your assessment, you see the issue?
3. VB6, while I coded very large projects long ago, "It's Dead Jim." That is, you're on a deserted island.
4. VB6 let us set breakpoints, examine variables and more. I continue to find old and new developers that don't know how to use the system.

You may wish to edit or delete your post above since it LEAKED your gmail address and more.

The police email scam is well known. That's about all you need to know that it's the scam of note.
Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1b592gr/is_this_real/ r/Scams has many other scams of note.

Worth noting:

1. Do not track them down.
2. Ignore, block and report as spam.
3. No police use a Gmail account.

Given your posting history, you seem to put out single line questions that would be dancing around your real question or goals. I see few reply to you so why not skip all that and write what you really want to write?

Since the answer would be many pages long, read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/walkthrough-creating-a-windows-service-application-in-the-component-designer and consider the two other pages noted there.

1. Read the source Luke.
2. Wappalyzer Chrome extension

A software development kit is a collection of software development tools in one installable package.

As such your last question doesn't make sense. The SDK installs your software development tools and your code would be where the API is called but not a call to the SDK!

I wonder if the last other stable releases show this issue? "Stable release: 11.3.2 / 16 February 2024; 46 days ago" or the most recent release of MariaDB 10.11: MariaDB 10.11.7 Stable (GA)

That is, many fixes don't get released for out of date versions. The new version is how many fixes are issued.

The problem is still unresolved. Until the bug is fixed. Be sure to tell all that you don't accept this as a bug and want a fix now.

From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78269177/mariadb10-11-6-galera-single-failed-node-startup-stuck-failure where they call it out as a bug waiting for a fix.

Regarding "doesn't open the file". I've used so many tools over the years to profile and log what apps access that I can write that Windows does open the file for a peek.

And then we have the problem that many files don't have duration. https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000105.shtml is for MP3 and it's not in the base spec.

But how do they do it? Spoiler: Everyone cheats. Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20771845/how-to-get-the-size-and-duration-of-an-mp3-file Note this was 2019 and even then, duration isn't in the MP3 file.

This is quite the rabbit hole to go down so I suggest you use MediaInfo or try one of the three functions of https://github.com/stax76/Get-MediaInfo

When you asked for runtime you triggered a memory from long ago where MP3 runtimes were at times wildly inaccurate. Just like the man who was turned into a newt in Monty Python who said "I got better", such are better now but I still read complaints it's not exact.

So here's the thing, you may want that runtime but it's not always available and sometimes incorrect. Look at MEDIAINFO at https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Support/Formats see what it reports on MKV runtime.

I don't want to give away the answer or spoil it for your research. Do you know why the answer was no for MKV?

Someone wanted me to pay with Venmo which I also have never used. Sorry, but I don't want to add more apps today.

"I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB."

That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver.

I maintain that Microsoft should update their installer to include this and to present reasons why it can't install to a drive with a single NTFS partition. Look at working systems and you find a lot of partitions other than the C drive.

In a company you put forward the idea and site plan. A new to all this web maker could easily stumble and make a site with security or other issues. For example said PDFs could be something the company doesn't want exposed to the world.
So back to your IT and company leaders to work out the details, and do it right the first time.

Just a tip. Take a few minutes to complete your DANIWEB profile to add your site and maybe get your tagline working.
Welcome to DANIWEB.

No matter how powerful your computer is, there is always some app or work that will cause it to take longer to respond. Nothing's broken here, it just takes time to get the work done.

Python is an interpreted language, which means the source code of a Python program is converted into bytecode that is then executed by the Python virtual machine.

As such the .exe would be the Python virtual machine and not your Python apps.

Weird. I thought the move to USB-C was the next big thing.

This is not an offer of edits or support.

slideDelay at https://www.lightgalleryjs.com/docs/settings/ looks like something I'd look to add or change.
Sometimes website owners don't code so they end up a little frustrated.

Be sure to complete your DANIWEB profile and use the tagline to show off your work.
How's the weather in Moscow today?

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1044458/ notes the Intel RST as well. As to BB/GS, I've found them hit or miss on this area.
And on some models you "Disable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology".

I'm of the opinion that such steps should be automatic and built into "modern" Windows.

I've had a lot of their laptops at my brother's insurance office. We've been lucky with them.
OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up. So far Linux shows such drives since that driver is baked into all the current distros I've used recently.
I can't offer much more without the full model number. For Intel based laptops I usually try the Intel RST. Example https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/720755/intel-rapid-storage-technology-driver-installation-software-with-intel-optane-memory-11th-up-to-13th-gen-platforms.html but this may not be the one for the laptop under discussion.

I have to ask if any mention was made about CNET which went all in on AI generated content. Wikipedia downgraded CNET's reliability rating as a result. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET

All the folk I knew there have left or been laid off.

Python shouldn't create such an error. Reference https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/kv83hc/error_code_exception_access_violation_writing_0x0/

I can't duplicate your issue but if this was mine I'd place a logging command in my python script at each step so I could nail down which line of code threw the error. Tutorial on that at https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html

Is there much call for this? In my circles I know of a handful of people that own AR gear.

And they all gripe about how the gear is now outdated!
They thought it was fun but the novelty wore off and they don't plan on buying new AR gear.

I use ChatGPT for quick and dirty work where I need a function to build some apps. My close friend took ChatGPT back to work in December 2022 and they use it for many things. Examples such a SQL queries and regular expressions. He tells me they saved mid 5 figures USD in the first year over outsourcing.

It's time and money. Some get a little red around the collar that we use modern tools like this.

That said, I just moved up to Visual Studio 2022 and AI tools/assistants are baked in now. I wonder if a purist would try to turn all that off.

Rather than dive into c++ like that, try tutorials like we see at https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/cpp_functions.asp

Here's another problem. When we change the OS not only must we setup the compiler, environment and such but sometimes an OS API could be deprecated or removed. You made mention of a possible OS change so that's a possibility.

You obtained this code from somewhere. Go back there and see if they updated it for your new OS.

I suggest https://www.w3schools.com/php/ if you need to learn.
Use CHATGPT if you want something quick and dirty.

Take a look at the example at https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/8641/Equivalent-of-CopyMemory-in-NET

As I read https://github.com/jacebrowning/memegen it looks more capable and complete than the other site you mentioned. To me I'd use this unless the goal is to write it from scratch.

You'll want to escape those quote marks and maybe more. Read https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape

Example follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "furey, edward \"sphere calculator\" at https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/geometry-solids/sphere.php from calculatorsoup, https://www.calculatorsoup.com - online calculators" << endl;
  return 0;
}

Are you sure folk want to read a blog about butternut squash?

As I researched your question to verify what I think you are asking, I read "This Injection method is 100% detected on every anti-cheat system to exsist this is purely a PoC."

Besides that concern that you are attempting to write a cheat system, here we don't write the code for you. If you have an issue with your app, then supplying a minimum viable example with what you think is the issue is what is acceptable.

However, assisting others with crafting cheat software doesn't happen here.

I have not used this system so read https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2018/06/sharepoint-online-powershell-remote-server-returned-error-403-forbidden.html and hope it's one of the seven issues noted there. Next up is to try https://www.reddit.com/r/sharepoint/

For RJ,
That looks like Fortran.
Also:

What standards are you asking about?

What happens when your standard doesn't fit your use case? (spoiler)

https://xkcd.com/927/

As I wrote more and more code I did gravitate toward standards. But with each job, there was yet another standard to use.
Most of the time it was just a formatting change. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style to see 9 standards alone.

Then there was the call to use patterns but the embedded system was a mix of assembler and C. Not even C++.
To make that more fun, the program lead wanted to replace the hardware system with "something modern" so we could move to C++. A few weeks later they were reassigned.

So back to you, how do you deal with choosing such standards?

For VertDist I would set a break on line 104 so I could examine the values in line 103.

Also, could be a localization issue that the comma is used for the decimal point and the integer of the results might be 35 and 4548.

I am not using such right now but a buddy is and pdfkit works fine.
What do you mean by mixed results?
