Yes, the region settings are correct, it does seem like something that would be related to the timezone. I can see on here (http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html) that there's `South America - Falklands` that is relating to the same date however these systems are in Ireland. Cheers, We have also disabled the automatic time zone change checkbox on Windows and have noted the same issue. We have also been able to replicate this issue on someone else's PC which is completely different to these. BIOS Version American Megatrends Inc. CCR6R112, 5/03/2014 Windows Version Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 Service pack 1 build 7601 The Locale is Australia and the timezone is GMT Daylight Time

I may have made this under the wrong topic. It may need to go into https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/46-troubleshooting/

Hey, I have had an issue where a bunch of computers decided to change their time at 1AM. They all are the same model with the same BIOS and are pretty much fresh installations of Windows 7. Essentially, on the 6th of April 2020 between 1AM and 2AM, all of the systems decided to increment their time by an hour. Between 2AM and 3AM, they had all gone back to normal time. It doesn't look like their timezone had been changed, they are offline so NTP isn't involved. All I get is a message in the Event Viewer saying the time has changed an hour. The issue is still present in safe mode and we can replicate the issue by changing the time back to before 2020/04/06 00:50 and waiting for an hour. We have done brand new installations of Windows and it seems as though the issue is still present. Has anyone else had this issue or have any thoughts on it? The applications we run are fairly time sensitive but are systems that are offline so they sync up every 24 hours Any ideas what could be going on? I found an article from a horrible blogspot site that seems to say they had an issue with communicating with the RTC. http://sztjytr.blogspot.com/2019/06/windows-7-time-keeps-changing-by.html I think there's also someone who had an issue with a batch file on the same date. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61405272/time-changing-randomly-on-windows-7-while-batch-file-is-running Regards, Leon.

OP- if you need a hand PM me. Is the machine running the database Linux or Windows is the first question. Once we've established that, has MySQL server been installed already? Regards, Leon.

You could use PSTOOLS - It essentially runs a command on another computer. But it really depends on how the computers are configured to if it works or not. If you're on a domain network then you'd just pass a network username and password but if not then you're going to have to work out how to pass different credentials per computer. For a domain network you could just create a list of every computer and then just loop through it via a batch file, executing the PSEXEC command each time.

Maybe you could store your passwords in Windows batch however this is the least secure thing I've seen since I found out one of my colleagues was using password1 as their Windows password... Theoretically it's possible but anyone would just be able to open the batch file and read the passwords. You should probably look into a programming language like C or C++ and use some encryption classes rather than this insecure plain text idea. I personally prefer C# however a lot of people on here would say something along the lines of that is uses a bunch of classes and stuff that is not required. Windows batch is a great start to the fundamentals of scripting but it is basic. Something like Python is a great for learning. Here is a great website you can use to learn all sorts of code: https://www.codecademy.com/ Good luck, Regards, Leon.

So, something like this batch file? @echo off Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion title Just a screwing yo mom.... for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (users.txt) do ( for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=. " %%y in ("%%A") do ( set userid=%%y set firstchar=!userid:~0,1! REM echo %%y %%z - !firstchar! set user=%%z!firstchar! echo Sending shutdown to \\!user! psshutdown \\!user! -f echo Shutdown sent to \\!user! ) ) pause Just pop that into a notepad document and save it with the file extension as .bat This is the contents of the users.txt file john doe Mary Poppins Jack Black Does the trick. Regards, Leon.

Here's some CSS from StackOverflow which seems to do what you want to do but it's inverted. /* gradient shining border */ border-style: solid; border-width: 3px; -webkit-border-image: -webkit-linear-gradient( left, rgba(0,0,0,1) 1%, rgba(0,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100% ) 0 0 100% 0/0 0 3px 0 stretch; -moz-border-image: -moz-linear-gradient( left, rgba(0,0,0,1) 1%, rgba(0,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100% ) 0 0 100% 0/0 0 3px 0 stretch; -o-border-image: -o-linear-gradient( left, rgba(0,0,0,1) 1%, rgba(0,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100% ) 0 0 100% 0/0 0 3px 0 stretch; border-image: linear-gradient( to left, rgba(0,0,0,1) 1%, rgba(0,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100% ) 0 0 100% 0/0 0 3px 0 stretch; Just change the rgba values. Regards, Leon.

I guess the first thing to do is work out what type of programming you want to do and what sort of applications that you'd like to make. I know it's not a language but you could start with batch, it's simple and is pretty basic enough, else python is more of a generic language that is used for a lot of things now so it's probably something to get interested in. In terms of project ideas, I can't think of ideas that easily, I find I'll only do something if I feel like I need to. For example, I hooked up an RFID scanner, a relay and a few window sensors up to my Raspberry PI and made my own very basic security system so that I would know if someone was going in my room as I would hear the motorbike horn attached to the relay going off. I never really got to the point of learning an entire language, I started on HTML and PHP then CSS and then moved to java and c# I just used the language that I found was better for my projects. In my opinion for myself I found that other people were distractions but then again I'd been programming for a longer time than they had been so I'd find someone who is around the same sort of level as you and a lot of time together to bounce ideas on how things will go together. At one point one of my teachers recommended CodeAcademy however I found that it was unclear at what it was asking and ended up making the examples better during my basic IT lessons, it should have changed by now and so that's always good. Once you understand the basics like a basic calculator for example then just work yourself up towards the more complicated stuff. Sorry if I'm not too much help here. Regards, Leon. EDIT: These may be of help:

Thanks, it helps a lot, I'm just really bad at naming things. I called something doEntryStuff.php at one point :D

Okay, thanks. So, if I were to remove the extra tag and move the contents into the race array entry like: { "races":[ { "race_title":"", "race_id":"", "race_active":true, "race_desc":"", "race_map":{ "enabled": false, "src":"" }, "race_image":{ "enabled": true, "src":"" } "race_color":{ "enabled":false, "color":"rgba(255,255,255)" } } ], "count":1 } Then it would be better?? In terms of graphql, as this is the 5th update (last four were complete rewrites) in 4 years, I'd rather not completely remove it all, plus there's lots of complicated stuff in other parts of the api that I would like to keep. Is the key naming okay? race_title, race_desc, race_id. I feel like because this is the /races endpoint that it should just be title, description and id without the race_ prefix.

Hello, I'm updating a project that I made a few years ago, and wanted to update some of the api responses and would really like your feedback on what a better response would be. So this small section displays races, I've formatted the response to make it easier to read. This is the old JSON response from the api: { "races": [ { "race_title": "test", "race_id": "1551", "race_desc": "I like big butts and I can't deny", "race_short_desc": "I like big butts and", "race_active": "true", "race_map": null, "race_image": null, "race_cover": "", } ], "count": 1 } And this is something that I just typed up: { "races":[ { "race_title":"", "race_id":"", "race_active":true, "extra":{ "race_desc":"", "race_map":{ "enabled": false, "src":"" }, "race_image":{ "enabled": true, "src":"" } "race_color":{ "enabled":false, "color":"rgba(255,255,255)" } } } ], "count":1 } I'm looking for a good way I could format the data to seem better. I was going to ask my friends *they exist I swear* however it's 3am and well, they're asleep and I'd rather have a more community response. Regards, Leon.

What's the content of ./assets/js/app.js

https://jsfiddle.net/ghbzg1gL/

Haven't used that before but try this: jq '.videos[].url' output.json Regards, Leon.

The JSON parses fine. http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ pop it in that and it will parse. What are you using to parse it? JavaScript, PHP? please post the code you're using in order to parse it. Regards, Leon.

Lol, you got in trouble for that. When I was at school, I had admin access to multiple machines, created a domain so I could login to any machine as an administrator without the workstation certificate validation so they could be part of the school domain while allowing me to login. stuck my shitty laptop behind a cabinet plugged into the network. Then fucked a computer up by removing it from the domain, IT techs got pissed and proceeded to blame me for students work (the data was in a folder on the C drive, noobs). Then sent an email bomb with a load of emails registering the IT tech up to pornhub which ended up sending a load of emails to a publicly accessible email group that sent to all the staff in the school, noobs allowing public emails The email server got a tad cluttered 1000s of emails to each member of staff. I was put into isolation and then started contacting students around the school using the teacher's remote monitoring software running with a channel bypass so I could see all computers switched on. The printers were all using a print server which was a shame, I didn't care about the printers though so yanoo. Anyway, left that shit hole before I was expelled, went to another school and the IT techs were amazing and suddenly I wasn't getting F's in lessons and for lessons like maths I could have got an A if I went to the school earlier instead I was stuck doing the lower tier paper so could only get a C as a max. Did I just type out an entire segment of my life..... crap. Programming, I sorta do that hourly sometimes when I can be bothered EDIT: This was the final time I got in trouble at the shit hole EDIT 2: Maybe this can help you in writing the essay: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Programming/About_Programming

You're using mysql_real_escape_string, change this to: $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $username); for example. also, mysql_num_rows needs to be mysqli_num_rows If you still have issues, PM me. Regards, Leon.

Does your laptop have any function keys that change the wifi state? Usually like a little wifi icon or plane icon on one of the FN keys. Try tapping that and see if it comes back. Else, maybe a re-install of the drivers is in order. Seems as though a few people are having this issue now though. Regards, Leon.

The crucial bit is the form code, Are you able to zip the entire project and upload it so I can see what's causing the issue? Regards, Leon.

Sounds like you have multiple requestedExecutionLevel keys defined.

Is this what it looks like? You may have to select Visual C# items on the left.

Right click the project name in the right hand side, Add-> New Item -> Application Manifest File -> Add Edit the new app.manifest file. You can then see the Commented out code. In the top section, you can see these three lines: <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" /> <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> <requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" /> Your app.manifest can use one of these, I'd assume that you'd use requireAdministrator, in which case you'd need to set uiAccess to true and uncomment that one line. Be sure that requestedExecutionLevel is not readable anywhere else in the manifest. Regards, Leon.

Yep, I'd start with the most vital bit, Visual Studio https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15 From there, you need to create a new project using the Windows Form Application template. If you don't see it directly, on the left go to Templates->Visual C#->Windows then it will be at the top in the middle section. Regards, Leon.
