  1. Start V Get User Input V Does user input exist in array > No > Are there more values in Array > No > "invalid" V V Yes Yes V V "Valid" Get Next Value (here's where you draw a line going back to "Does user input exist in Array")
  2. What do you mean by the audio software? The popup that comes up when you plug in a headset? That's the only audio software I have on my Dell machine, and it's standard for any machine that uses it. The software is just Waves MaxxAudioPro
  3. I've had to use apple devices for work, and using multiple accounts in reality is a bit of a nightmare. You CAN do it, but there are always remnants of the first account that pop up from time to time. I've not tested payment methods though, but app store accounts seem happy to be swapped, although you could find apps being deleted from the device when you switch between accounts, so get an unlimited data plan first!
  4. If your basement has high humidity or moisture, then you have bigger problems than it affecting electronics, call a building surveyor cause ya'll need to fix that asap. If you have a "normal" dry basement then it's no issue at all. My gaming PC is in my basement, as is my FILs home business server...no issues at all.
  5. Is it the same though? Made for kids means the content is made specifically for kids, like peppa pig, where as new Yankee workshop (there's some Norm for the older tippers) is suitable for all audiences but is so not a show kids would enjoy.
  6. I have no idea what you mean by super, that's not a key on any windows keyboard I've had, but F12 to open powershell is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Create a shortcut to powershell, right click, properties, shortcut key. Then press the shortcut key and PS opens. You can also do this exact same thing for PS scripts, allowing you to run any command with any combination of keys. I personally would set it up running a PS script to remap the keys properly, but you don't have to.
  7. What do you mean "unlike windows"? You can map any key to do anything you want in Windows.
  8. What cert do you need? If it's local dev then you can just create a new one. If it's for deployment then you may have a problem.
  9. Thats what I was wondering (so thank you for saying it). I've just upgraded my old monitor to one that supports gsync over freesync and the experience with it on compared to my old non vrr panel is outstanding. Everything feels smoother now, even at 60fps, and I can't imagine gsync would have been worth either the extra cash, or the downgrade in specs I would have taken if I went with that instead.
  10. It's 2019 what are you doing printing that much? Can you tell us what you are printing? and how many pages per day/week/month? You may be better off getting a service contract where they lease you the printer and maintain it than buying a home office type printer. If you are doing the same print again and again, or could cope with a 24 hour turn around then you will likely find that a printing company will cost you less to use than doing it yourself.
  11. Before doing it ask yourself "how does someone offer a relatively expensive service for free?". The answer is that you are not their customer, you are their product. Your information will be sold to anyone that pays for it, and with a VPN usage log they're gonna have some interesting data on you I'm sure.
  12. Make sure it's a MY 91 and not a MY 92 registered in '91. The MY 92 to MY 95 cars had the biodegradable wiring harness, and that will total the car if it's starting to go.
  13. I've just bought the Samsung CHG70 32" it's 1440p 144hz freesync (gysnc compatible) HDR 600 curved screen, at the top of your budget. It's a freaking amazing monitor, but takes up alot of desks pace with the stand. There's a little ghosting in windows but it's barely noticeable and in games it's non existant. The curve really gets you immersed in games, and you genuinely use periferal vision because it's gigantic which really adds to racing games if they're your bag. I use a 34" dell ultrawide (also 1440p but wider) at work and the 16:9 is a much better home monitor than the ultrawide. Ultrawides are amazing at productivity, but a 32" 1440p screen feels bigger in terms of gaming than the ultrawide IMO.
  14. Access is a great learning tool. The sql is closer to pure sql rather than tsql that's in sql server, so it gives you a good basis to jump to any sql DB from, rather than being stuck in MS land. It also includes a better GUI for designing SQL commands rather than typing them. And it's that GUI that'll help you. Open up a query and in the criteria box enter a prompt (any text) enclosed in square brackets. That'll do what you need, then look at the sql that's been generated to see how it works in the statement.
  15. Dell machines don't void the warranty when you replace parts your self. The fact that you can't even swap a harddisk on your machines without breaking warranty is just bullshit, I am glad that I never went with HP if you can't even swap a HDD out, that's a really shitty warranty service. You may be able to swap out the computer then call support, but that involves OP buying 2 new PCs to be able to do that, and OP is in a company with just 3 total employees, that is not practical. Either way, I still say it's not worth it as well, and to just get the machine with warranty. I get why you said what you said, but you are incorrect that "The spend resources (working hours of engineers) are not even close to worth it", it costs 15 minutes of supports time to swap out a harddisk, and unless your engineers are being paid around $4000 an hour, then it is cheaper to just swap the drive than to buy an entire spare computer of the same spec to have laying around just in case. But as I alluded to, this conversation is not relevant for OPs situation, and is just causing confusion on the subject.
  16. Go to DELL. Buy the best machine you can with their 3 year onsite package. (You can get a pretty decent workstation for that money) It's for business, do not self build, do not skimp on warranty or support, it pays for its self the moment that you have a problem where you are without a PC. Self building is fine for companies that have tons of (relevant and recent) hardware laying around, but for ones that don't it's just not worth it, I've worked in small companies that self build before, the moment a machine goes down you are at home for 3 days whilst you wait for IT to order and replace the parts. I recommend Dell because they have worldwide same day service for on-site support. A local PC shop will not be able to offer that level of support.
  17. Nord VPN is the only VPN provider that offers an app for all my (android) devices. It's literally the only thing that shows up when I search for VPN on my TV. It works very well, even works with netflix most of the time.
  18. That doesn't mean it is not running "server side" It's just in this case the local machine is acting as both client and server. You cannot just fire up a PHP page in a browser and have it work, you have to "serve" it to the browser, unlike HTML which the browser will display without needing anything extra. That's not to say you need to install IIS or Apache to serve PHP pages, you can totally run them with an interpreter without those, but in that case the interpreter is acting as the PHP server, because the browser doesn't know what to do with it. In can SEEM like you are doing nothing more than creating a PHP page and running it in your browser, but you are really running it through the interpreter that you installed when you first setup your machine to do your PHP programming.
  19. A calibration tool is not just software, it's a combination of both hardware and software. You cannot calibrate with software alone (well you can, but it's very difficult and prone to errors) because you are not calibrating the monitor, you are calibrating the monitor for the environment it is in. Colours look different depending on if there is light in the room or not and what sort of light it is. I use a Spyder device (can't remember the model number) that sits on the screen as the software runs through it's tests and generates my colour profile. That's the only way to really do it properly. Anything that just uses software isn't calibrating against anything and is just putting a default profile on your system. The devices are pretty expensive to buy (not massively, but not worth it for anyone not doing graphical work and needing accurate colour reproduction)
  20. The difference in speed is noticeable but nothing special. In other words it's always going to be a slow transfer. If you are only using the outer portion of the disc then you are limited in space as well. My recommendation, just upload what ever it is you have to the internet with drop box, or we transfer and get the person receiving it to download it. It'll most likely be faster than the fastest DVD reader, that or use a cheap USB stick. DVD is a dead format, and trying to optomise it is pointless because the benefits are still far below what can be achieved for cheaper in a USB drive.
  21. SQL on it's own is not a programming language. However, there is almost no database in use in the world that uses pure SQL. They extend the language to make it a full blown programming language. So SQL is not a programming language, but the SQL that you use with Oracle DB or SQL Server IS part of a programming language that uses SQL syntax and operations.
  22. Just search google for the model name and it gives you (well me, yours is probably in Lithuanian). • Modelnavn: MacBook Air 13,3” (Early 2015) A1466 Grade B • Processorhastighed: Core i5-4260U 1,4GHz • Grafikkort: Intel HD Graphics 5000 • Størrelse, Harddisk: 256GB SSD • Størrelse, RAM: 4GB – DDR3 -- 1600 • Størrelse, Skærm: 13,3" (1400 x 900) WXGA+ • 2 x USB 3.0
  23. https://www.amazon.de/LG-27GL650F-B-Monitor-UltraGear-FreeSync/dp/B07QDNHCJY It's 27" not 24", but it's IPS, 144hz 1080p and comes in at €380
  24. Without knowing what TV you have it would be impossible to know. My phillips TV allows you to control it via a separate volume slider, but if you want it to sync with the main tv volume then you need to use HDMI as the sound connection.
