When I work such an issue I set the breakpoint where the trouble is and examine variables.
There's some variable that controls the output so that's what you look at.

You've posted a lot about ray-tracing and that's all good but setting breakpoints to see what's going on seems to be the challenge.

Checking into this further. Unsafe, not advised for any use.

Nefarious devs
Hooks may let nefarious developers create new ways to steal user’s tokens, Shevchenko said.

“The problem is that all of these will be hosted on the Uniswap back end, and maybe front end — so there is a lot of risk of people getting scammed thinking this is a trusted brand’s product,” Shevchenko said.

For mdv3441. While we still have the VB6 install media and know about service pack 6 and more, it's all for naught as the key SQL component is dead now.

Yes we could do a re-write but as the client won't pay for the updates they are left as-is. We're ready to move to the latest Visual Studio but VB6, dead and we can't obtain licenses from its maker. Because it's a business we can't and won't break the rules on licensing.

While other than the SQL we used back then being dead, the other parts of VB6 function but it's time to move on.

This is some academic assignment so the lesson isn't about fixing this found or GPT generated code, it's not even about coding.
It's about designing before code. Without a design, how would we code?

Or if we use AI to write code, it's a lesson about how we still have to understand the code that it generates.

Now for those that just want it fixed, you place the task on job sites like Upwork and pay for the work. But for assignments that's not applicable.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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;
}

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/

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?

If this is your first foray into data recovery, it's best to send it to data recovery shops.

Any do-it-yourself or recovery apps are never a sure thing. You can try RECUVA but sometimes folk balk that it doesn't FIX the drive. No data recovery app should write to said drive. It should only recover or copy files out. Writing to a damaged drive is too dangerous.
If you feel RECUVA wasn't good enough feel free to Google "Recuva Alternatives." For me if Recuva doesn't do the job, the drive is sent to a recovery house.

Think of the unicycle, one wheel, hard to avoid a crash. Bicycle is much better and the tricycle almost everyone can ride without trouble. The same for storage drives. Google 321 BACKUP and yup, 3 copies or you may not have your data for long. A single copy is prone to loss. Even a second drive with the copies would have saved you.

Time to retire VB6. Move to something current. Just 2 days ago I nabbed two copies of Visual Studio Pro for 50USD each. Why 2? Office needed more licenses.

VB6 does have limited resources so you will run out on heavy operations.
Read https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?902295-how-create-DIB-s too.

Read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/742671/tools-to-identify-memory-hogs-in-vb6-applications about tools to use for find memory hogs and a nice function to see if your app is releasing resources correctly.

That's a warranty situation. Return them. Exchange them. No need to do anything else.

My big resolution in 2023 got done. An ICE free driveway. ICE = internal combustion engine.
2024 resolution is to work home projects. More paint and flooring. Yeah!

If you research this, there have been zero such upgrades reported. Example: https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/hardware/threads/360437/intel-core-2-quad-on-acer-extensa-4630z

About all you can do is be sure the HDD has been replaced with SSD and if you can do it free or cheap, max out the RAM. This Core2 CPU is woefully out of date for most of users today.
My advice is to leave it be and save the money for a new laptop. This one is so old I expect it to fail unexpectedly without notice.

The answer I found and also AFAIK is you can't. This is not a straight Android device so those ideas are desd.
As to the files, we only lose what we don't backup. Our Kindles get their files from the Amazon cloud so when we reset, we don't lose any files because they are on the Amazon cloud.

1. Fix your ReviewMyLink site. Firefox balked and said: "Your connection is not private
   Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.reviewmylink.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
   
   NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID"

2. Add your other website to your DANIWEB tagline.

3. "Users:1,382" is quite low. I went to that site and see no reason to return. I do however look at imgur.com daily. You need to add a survey or hold a focus group about that site. I decline to offer more about that site.

AFAIK, Netbeans requires those images to be in the resources folder. So much omitted about the dev environment here.

1. Line 15 calculates X but I don't see where X is used.
2. Same for line 16 and Y.
3. The function or possibly array bDibBGRA is not native to VB6 so I can't tell what you are doing on lines 17 and 23
4. Why is optimizing needed today? That is this would run in a split second on the usual hardware we have at the office.
5. You never explained what this code's purpose is so it's a roll of the dice if I could optimize it.
6. VB6. It's dead. Move on.

The standard libraries in c and c++ are external and you can't do much without them so the answer must be no.
And that's without getting into we need to either write or use libraries to unpack compressed images. Maybe you could do something with a non-compressed bitmap but I can't guess why a programmer would put such an artificial limitation on their app.

With that out of the way, years ago I used the Image Magick libraries to get what I needed done at the time.

Let's say it did loop. Wouldn't I trace said code or use the debugger to see where it's looping?
And at over 300 lines of code, I won't be reading all that. You need to find where it's looping.

These characters are usually in the charset your host provides and one can select other sets.
See https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_charset.asp for example charsets.

To get into this you would reveal the host OS, compiler in use, etc.

I checked this question out with a google query and there's plenty to read and even YouTubes. I'd start there.

Is this some homework you need answered?

I didn't use view source code. See example above. But if you feel it's good enough for you, then carry on.

My thought is that clean code may help in other ways such as page speed, SEO and the fact it's clean and easy to maintain.

I didn't have to resort to any tools in my collection. Hopefully someone will look over your code and question request.

Are you sure that works? Let's see a working page so I can see if I can use my usual tools to download images.
Basically if you show an image, I can download it. Folk have tried for years to block such but I haven't seen any system to worked.

My favorite reply so far:

Why should I read what no one wrote?

It seems there would be a lot more work than you listed. Not to mention your studies to show that using SAP in your business would show a ROI.

Head back to FCM and compile their demo or in software speak, a minimum viable example.

If their demo or minimum viable example fails, file a bug report.

Our apps worked with (at the time) almost any SQL server. So we didn't have to license MySQL.

If your application works with many databases, either natively or by using one of the database source independent frameworks, then you can freely distribute the MariaDB server with your application without being affected by the GPL. The reason for this is that MariaDB would only be an optional, independent component in your software distribution and section 2 of the GPL explicitely allows this

Can you tell me more about the License concerns? We've never had to pay for decades. I think my first use was around 1998. That's 25 years of free use.

Is MySQL free or cost?
MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and is also available under a variety of proprietary licenses.

1. GRANT. Yes, you'll be using the GRANT command.
2. I can't guess your needs here. If your system is web based or app based (C++, etc.) then the GRANT would be per user. If web or server based, then you grant needs change. This isn't a simple yes/no question. That is, the system designer would know what they need. A new system designer will take time to take a few tutorials about this area and think long and hard about security. i.e. don't grant too much power to all possible users.
3. The old MySQL vs Postgres question seems to be about if your needs are read or write heavy. Or if there's a feature you absolutely need in either system.

"According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-basic-6/visual-basic-6-support-policy although the VB6 runtime and certain files continue to be supported the VB6 IDE is NOT supported by Microsoft in Windows 11."

As we are moving to Windows 11 now, I wonder how folk like you are going to avoid upgrading from VB6.

Sadly we retired all VB6 systems years ago. This system is now decades old and unsupportable. Maybe you can outsource what you need or tell the client it's time to move to a current system.
