I do agree, but we're a relatively small branch of a charity organization. We do not have the budget to get ourselves a commercial solution. Furthermore, the commission generally does not expand beyond 10 people at any one time, and we change the passwords after someone has left the commission. So yeah, we need a commercial solution, but that won't happen anytime soon, unless someone starts giving us proper amounts of money.

Greetings all, So I'm a chairman for a Veterinarians Without Borders commission. For organising our activities we use a shared google-account but it's been a continued problem where google sends account verification notifications to unsuspecting commission-members who then need to verify your new login. As you might imagine, this is very inconvenient as sometimes someone needs to do a login on a new device, whilst all the other people are busy in their daily work as a Vet or Vet-med student. Now I've already discovered that it is not possible to disable this feature (and no, I am not talking about the verification upon every login; that's a different verification), but I couldn't figure out or find whether it might be able to assign a single phone (mine as chairman) to receive these security/verification notifications. Any ideas? Thanks in advance =D

BeamNG.Drive as possible new benchmark
Lennart van de Merwe replied to AlexThorin's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
yeah seems interesting. Especially since Beam can practically blow up any hardware set if you give it enough cars to crunch through. Should be interesting. -
Civ5 game instability on win11? And other win11 pains
Lennart van de Merwe posted a topic in Windows
So I updated my HP x360 envy (R7 4700u integrated w/ 16 gbs ram) to windows 11 and up until now have regretted it ever since. To make a list of my earlier problems real quick: - bluetooth died for a while until the driver finally became frens with win11 - wifi connectivity has been incredibly painful. It experiences "connected, no internet" a lot, even though my phone (even with mobile data disabled) has wifi just fine. That's besides the fact that win11 isn't great friends with those wacky login sequences you get at big organisation wifi (I don't really know how to describe it). - windows hello just dies every once in a while meaning my fingerprint scanner is just for aesthetics - office apps like word sometimes refuse to boot (my desktop running win10 doesn't have this problem), by this I mean that you get the starting logo, but after that disappears it just hasn't done anything and task manager doesn't show it running. - tablet mode detection sometimes happens when in laptop mode - and the most recent of all: Civ5 crashing after a few dozen turns, and not just crashing, but crashing so bad that I have to reboot the entire laptop once or twice. Weird thing is, before the crashes started happening I had around 30 hours of civ on this laptop running on win11 without any problems whatsoever. Heavier games like hoi4 also run stable (though not with more than slide show performance after 1942, but that's the laptop's fault). So I haven't had any of these problems running windows 10 on this laptop, so I can only suspect windows 11 is behind it. I'm curious what your experiences are with windows 11, and whether I should start screeching harder or just wait patiently until the next patch drops (or go back to windows 10 perhaps). -
I have a B450 Aorus elite coupled with a ryzen 2600x and 2x8 gbs of 3000 Mhz corsair vengeance ram. My PC appears to work just fine and posts like normal, but the motherboard keeps giving very annoying constant single beeps. Every few seconds it'll beep once. The beeps are not in some sort of rhythm so I take it they're single beeps, from what I've read online is that single beeps are supposed to be something with your RAM, so I reseated it with no effect. I could try swapping to a single stick and seeing whether it's just one of the stick acting up. Weird thing is, when I ran AIDA64 and Userbenchmark on no significant performance losses were detectable by me. I'm also not sure whether the beeps apply here, since the single beep thing is supposed to be something during start-up only (during start up I have no beeps generally). I also considered that the beeps might not be the mobo, but my old HDD dying, so I ran HDtune on it, but that had no errors come back either. So, any idea on what the beeping might be, and how do I stop it? Also, fyi, I have stopped using my desktop for now and am now on laptop. If you need any hardware info, please do ask.

Exactly as the title says. I'm starting my study of Veterinary Medicine at the uni this september, and I require a laptop for access to digital learning material on the go. I have a desktop for everything that requires more horsepower (ryzen 5 2600x, 16 gbs of ram, rtx 2060; so no worries there) My wishes for a laptop that are slightly unrealistic given the price: - Good build quality - decent CPU performance (gpu can just be integrated) - everything that equals or beats an i7-6700HQ is decent in my opinion - GOOD BATTERY LIFE REEEEEEEEEEE (I need to be able to get through an entire day on a single charge. There are no outlets in a stable after all...) Optional: - 2 in 1 laptop (this will be my main way of accessing books for my study, so I'd like to be able to use it as a book, if possible) Stuff I've been considering: - Macbook air (M1, 8 gbs ram, 256 gbs) - 969 - Surface Laptop GO (i5 1035G1, 8gbs ram, 128 gbs) - 800 - has shitty battery from what I've heard - Surface pro 7 (i5 1035G4, 8 gbs ram, 128 gbs) - 989 - nvm, the keyboard is not included. Stoopid microsoft Please help me out here... Thanks! EDIT: I'm considering buying an HP envy X360 13-ay0930nd. From what I've heard it has good battery life, good performance (ryzen 7 4700u, 16 gbs ram) and decent build quality. It's available for 949.- There's also a cheaper variant with a ryzen 5 and 8gbs of ram, but I'm kinda uncomfortable with buying 8gbs of ram without the possibility of upgrading (it do be a lot cheaper for 750).

Thanks for the feedback, but I gotta be honest, I'm far from the level of C# where I can make actual decisions on how to do stuff best. Currently I'm following a tutorial, and trying to fix whatever error comes along, and so hopefully learning the language bit by bit. For the record, I've been doing C# for 5 days now, so maybe at some point in the future I can use your feedback... Furthermore, BFBC is attached to a gameObject so it should be working. Anyways, I managed to fix the error, and I think it should be working now. UPDATE: It worked, I fixed it. I changed it from: BCFC.instance; to controller = BCFC.instance;

Ait, I tried it, too bad it didn't work. It would appear it's ought to do something. Without "BCFC.instance" I just get NullRefException errors. Here's my BCFC code, the goal of this code, and the tester, is to change the source image of a UI element (in order to change the background). public class BCFC : MonoBehaviour { public static BCFC instance; public LAYER background = new LAYER(); public LAYER cinematic = new LAYER(); public LAYER foreground = new LAYER(); void Awake() { instance = this; } [System.Serializable] public class LAYER { public GameObject root; public GameObject newImageObjectReference; public RawImage activeImage; public List<RawImage> allImages = new List<RawImage>(); public void SetTexture(Texture texture) { if (texture != null) { if (activeImage == null) CreateNewActiveImage(); activeImage.texture = texture; activeImage.color = GlobalF.SetAlpha(activeImage.color, 1f); } else { if(activeImage != null) { allImages.Remove(activeImage); GameObject.DestroyImmediate(activeImage.gameObject); activeImage = null; } } } void CreateNewActiveImage() { GameObject ob = Instantiate(newImageObjectReference, root.transform) as GameObject; ob.SetActive(true); RawImage raw = ob.GetComponent<RawImage>(); activeImage = raw; allImages.Add(raw); } } } Maybe this can give some insight as to why I'm getting CS0201

A youtube tutorial on how to make a Visual Novel. So I can just put "//" before it and hope for the best?

Hi so my code is producing error CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, await, and new object expressions can be used as a statement. It's located in line 15 (marked with //). As of now, my BCFC script contains a public static that I'm trying to refer to. So, what's wrong? using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class TestBackground : MonoBehaviour { BCFC controller; public Texture tex; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { BCFC.instance; //this is line 15, and producing the error } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { BCFC.LAYER layer = null; if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q)) layer = controller.background; if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) layer = controller.cinematic; if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)) layer = controller.foreground; if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.T)) { } else { if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Z)) layer.SetTexture(tex); } } } This originally wasn't my code and I'm still in the process of trying to understand, but I'll try to answer any questions you might have and/or provide extra code or info you might need.

I was wondering whether this (Subwoofer out --> receiver --> passive sub) would be possible. I'm on a budget so I can't afford buying an active sub to hook up to the soundbar, which only has subwoofer out, but I do have a receiver and passive sub that works on that receiver. I was thinking of buying a cable that either went from subwoofer out --> 3.5 mm, or subwoofer out --> stereo rca (and then a cable: stereo rca --> audio jack). I'm fine with a bit of distortion. The sub will only be meant is complimentary to the listening experience and not be centre stage, but I'm wondering if it'd work. If you need more specs, just ask.
