    Couldn't they do like macOS and require the user to allow access to each folder an application wants to access? macOS has implemented it quite well and older apps made before the new system also work.

    I couldn't find a better fit for this question than the programming section. I'm making a chat app for fun but have run into a problem I can't think myself out of. The current schema would be [Users] -> [Chatrooms] -> [Messages] with foreign keys referencing back. My current implementation would require the [Messages] and [Chatrooms] be stored in both users as [Chatrooms] has a foreign key to [Users], I'm using one-on-one chats only but would there be a smart way to store the [Chatrooms] and thus [Messages] only once and have both users refer into those tables? It must be possible to not store the messages redundantly but maybe that isn't too smart and having the data tied with both users is the best way?

    What would be the best to prolong a lithium-ion battery's life in a laptop? 100-30% charge 70-0% charge I know being close to 100% is bad for batteries, but what about running them all the way down?

    I have a problem with running OS X Mojave on Virtualbox with a Zen 2 CPU. I'm certain I've once run a macOS VM (although not Mojave) on this CPU, but can't get it to work again. Using the classic - VBoxManage modifyvm "machine" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7–6700K" makes Virtualbox give the Critical Error. Running the VM without this command just makes it hang at End RandomSeed. Does anyone have a solution, or is running Mojave under Virutalbox on Zen 2 a lost cause? I'd quite like to keep the image vanilla, to know it's not compromised. The image I use is created on my MacBook and it boots fine on the Mac just not when I transfer it.

    Hello everyone! I have a problem with an AsRock B450 Gaming K4. After installing Valorant and the computer restarted, the board won't find any internal drives. I've both reset the BIOS by removing the battery and also updated the BIOS. It still couldn't find any drives. After letting it be over night, it turned on like nothing had happened! YAY! NO! Valorant still complained about needing a restart because the Anti-Cheat wasn't active, although I have a pretty old driver and it said this could be a cause too. After updating the GPU driver and restarting again, I have the same problem again, no internal drives can be found and it just boots straight to the BIOS. After a few hours today, it could boot again, YAY! But NO! as another restart couldn't boot again (no internal drives found). Booting into a Linux distro I can't see the drives either (obviously, but I tried). This looks like an irregular problem, which can be hard to diagnose. I really can't think of anything else to do, except buying a new board. That is, unless anyone here has any input/help for the problem.

    I'm doing a course right now to learn Python, and I can't get my head around why my first try fails, and why my solution doesn't. I have already completed the assignment, so no one is doing my homework. dic = dict() for line in handle: if not line.startswith("From: ") : continue words = line.split() dic[words[1]] = dic.get([words[1], 0]) + 1 This fails with the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "9.4 Autograder.py", line 9, in <module> dic[words[1]] = dic.get([words[1], 0]) + 1 TypeError: unhashable type: 'list' But, dic = dict() for line in handle: if not line.startswith("From: ") : continue dic[line.split()[1]] = dic.get(line.split()[1], 0) + 1 This one is successful. Any help to make me understand my problem is greatly appreciated!

    Hi. I want to be able to read only the first node with the data I need in an XML file. (Here is the file). I only need the data from the first. Cube time="2020-03-13" My problem is that I of course don't know what the actual name of the node would be at any given time as they update it at different intervals. I want to do this in C# .Net Core. Any code to be able to read the data would be awesome! Help is much appreciated!

    To add to this, I don't think I've seen anyone use an iPhone XR in Denmark, but I see lots of X and Xs. The market is probably just a little different here.

    This is NOT a full implementation of the DirectX 12 API, it's kind of a compatibility layer. This isn't big news.

    I like how the Maxon site says Windows SP1 and up is supported, but the Microsoft store makes it a Windows 10 only application...

    Hi! I've just bought a GTX 1080 and was wondering if I should change the PSU. Not because of wattage, but quality concerns. For reasons not my fault (computer was once repaired by insurance), I now have a Corsair CX750. It's not the new version, the very old one. I've had this for a few years now. I have a XFX TS650 that's been laying and collection dust for 2 years, and wonder if it would be a worth it (for quality of voltage stabillity and more) to change it out. Would it be worth the time to swap from a CX750 to a TS650? Thanks in advance.

    Many thanks, I'll do this later!

    Hi. I want to create a bootable image of 10.13.4, but when I download the OS from the App Store, I get the 15MB version and not the full one. Not a problem since you can start the download inside that one and stop it before it restarts and then deletes the OS files, but how do I make that DMG in another folder bootable? I have an idea, but can't try it before I get home in quite a few hours, and if someone has an idea how to modify the commands that need to be run, it could save me some good time! I've done it before (with this tutorial: https://tylermade.net/2017/10/05/how-to-create-a-bootable-iso-image-of-macos-10-13-high-sierra-installer/), almost the same way Apple officially says is the right way, but that assumes it's in the Application folder with the 'createmedia' executable, the files aren't the same with the 15MB method and createmedia isn't included as far as I saw yesterday (briefly looked at it), so can anyone help? Thanks in advance! EDIT: Sorry for any typing error, I have 9% power left, so needed to write this quickly!

    I know how to do it, but programs will fail to find their folders for a while, and the havoc it will make.

    Hey everybody. I have bought a new hard drive, since the old one is over 3 years old. I want to keep using the old drive, for games and things that easily could be installed again. The new one for important files and so on. The problem is, that everything is installed on my E: drive, and the new drive if F: . Every file on the hard drive I copied over on the new drive, but how can I make the switch, so the new drive will be E: and the old one F:? I know how to do it, the problem is every program running expect to find its files on the E: drive, but for a short while no drive will be E: . Is there a way to fix this? I have thought about doing it through safe mode, but don't know if this will cause problems. Also, could there be other things going wrong when doing this? Of course, my SSD as C: drive is untouched, and all temp files and so on are located on C: . Note: I have a drive used for backup too, if anybody wondered about my backup strategy. Thanks for the help!

    Hello! I have a problem, and many have asked this before but, why is performance in VMware (or any virtualization software) so bad? Everybody I have found who ask this question is running hardware not capable of running VMs, but my hardware should be capable of it. All OS's have this bad performance, but especially Windows 10 is bad. Choppy animations and slow performance in general. VMware tools are always insalled. The machine was dedicated 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM. This is always the case with all VMs. Core i7 4790K, 16 GB of RAM, GTX 770, host is Windows 7 running VMware 12.5.

    Will windows stay?

    I have never had a problem with OEM keys and new mobos. So people seem to have different experiences.

    NTFS and exFAT are the best two choices. NTFS should work with both Windows and Linux no problem. It's the same for exFAT, altough there are file size limits, but it will work on OS X or MacOS too

    The MSCONFIG route doesn't always work, simply because it doesn't show everything. Autoruns from SysInternals is perfect for this!

    I bought a new laptop which was bought on the internet. Of course it's send through the mail, but a thing worries me a little. The laptop was not just damp, but wet with condensation water when I opened it. Will this have a negative longterm effect on it? I waited 4 hours before turning it on. Thanks (I didn't know what category to put this in)

    Is the Dell Latitude E5570 worth buying? It's the Core i5 6300U model dual core, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD. The keyboard on this thing is AMAZING! It's rugged and has lots of connectivity without doungles. Is it still worth when it doesn't support USB Type C? This question is also applicable.

    Hi. What would be the most stable driver for a GTX 770 on Windows 7 64x paired with an Intel Core i7 4790K? I only ask if someone out there knows this. I don't want to use the new 37X.XX drivers. The reason? The new telemetry. I can live with telemetry, but not telemetry that is "personally identifiable information"... I could start to rant about Nvidia, but I'll keep it to myself. It seems to me that the best of the newer ones is the 362.00. Yes, that would be newer for me since I haven't updated since 347.52. Yes that's quite old I know but it has just always worked for me. I can't really experiment with drivers right now, so if anydody could help it would be awesome! As far as I know, 368.69 is the last driver without telemetry, but it seems to have more problems than 362.00. 365.19 also seems pretty safe, but is it worth trying this one? And can someone confirmed that it is in fact the last driver without this "telemetry"? Thanks!

    If no, you could try to drag n' drop the files onto your computer and link to them from within FL Studio. (Screenshot of how below) I own the Producer Edition and not the Signature Edition, so I don't know if there's a difference in the files on the USB. If you have trouble, just download them from here when you're logged in to your Image-Line account: http://www.image-line.com/content/Samples/Generic+Sample+CD/ (It seems to be that there is less samples in the download than on the USB drive)
