So poking around the interwebs, I found this interesting little info generator for any website you pop in: https://tinywow.com/web/detect . Wonderful as it is, I find it brings up a question as to what CMS means in this instance. The closest I can think of is a Content Management System. Is that correct? What exactly is going on here? I have theories but don't wish to speculate just yet.

Hello, I am not a programmer by any means but I do understand the basics of making my way through programming instructions. I take a lot of photographs and I was hoping to set up a program that will automatically copy the DCIM file from an inserted SD card and create a new folder with the days date as its name and save the file into that new folder on my PC hard drive. I was then also hoping for a secondary program that will backup an individual file to an external SSD whenever that SSD is connected to my PC. I realise this is probably a lot to ask, but google and youtube haven't been helping. I have tried to use Task Scheduler in conjunction with Event Viewer and USBLogView to no avail. (likely because I am unable to code anything from scratch) Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions for this. I am willing to learn the necessary programming language to help me out here. I'm not too keen on using a software downloaded from the internet to do these tasks as my photos are 99% NDA and sensitive. Thank you, xco This is a description of the above but i have included the file name paths.

I am looking to buy a laptop with the intend for programming, but would also like games to be an option. I am located in Ireland, looking to spend maximum 600-700 euro. I will mainly be using this to program when I am not home, but would also like to game, though it does not need to be for heavy games. 16gb ram preferred, and AMD is preferred.

I've been considering my next monitor upgrade being this LG ultrawide. I know I need a minimum of 1440p and a minimum size of 27'' and maybe no bigger than 32''~. Just starting to think if the ultrawide screen real estate is worth it. Most productivity software rely on vertical space rather than horizontal, be that programming, Office or most other software. Even video editing needs vertical timeline space for all the layers. Can anyone say if an ultrawide is worth it over two 1440p monitors when it comes to productivity? I bet 99% of the time I'll just have the windows split in the middle. Windows 10 doesn't do 3 equally split windows does it? Maybe even over one normal and one turned vertically for the extra vertical space similar to how diehard programmers have their monitors laid out... If you guys are recommending a 1440p/4k panel for productivity, any suggestions? I'd like a monitor to cost no more than £800~

Several months ago, I posted about looking for a new monitor. After sitting on the idea for a while, I found one that seemed to tick every box I had (minus the curve, but that is a budget issue). I'm setting it up for work-flow purpose (8 or more hours of programming every day). That being said, I'm going for something like the picture I have attached below. Long story short, does anyone have any recommendations for a two-arm monitor stand that will allow me to adjust each monitor individually vertically and horizontally that wont break the bank? It looks like I need a heavy duty version because on the MSI spec page, it says the shipping weight is 30.5lbs and I cant imagine a lot of that is actual packaging. Most stands I seem to be finding cap out at 19.5lbs to 23lbs. Important note: I need one that can sit on a table top. The type that clamps to the edge of a desk will not work with my setup since I use a corner desk. Link to the monitor I bought: https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MPG341QR Thanks in advance for all the help, this is the first time I'm upgrading my peripherals since I got into tech in 2017.

Hello everyone, currently in class and cant seem to fix my code, the teacher is really busy and I'm starting to get angry, wondering if anyone can help? It's meant to have a list of ranks, then display the teachers name and ask for a new rank and replace it and continue to the next teacher after input is entered and then print the list after all of them are entered. Thanks

I am genuinely curious as to what keyboard do you guys actually use. Do you have a generic membrane keyboard or a mechanical one? If mechanical, what size and switches? What was its cost? Did you build it yourself and was it worth it? What do you use it for?

So, I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to maneuver around Brave's "element blocking" abilities. Right clicking and blocking an element is easy. Going to the manual list and manipulating the text based filter script is easy. The issue is that this seems like too clunky an approach and I'd appreciate to know if there is a better way to more visually start selecting element to return and leave again. Is there some check box method or anything that would allow me to rapidly iterate on blocking and returning elements without having to necessarily manually refresh again? -
So, I have a 2.5-year-old laptop having an Intel Core i5 - 8265U 8th Gen with an 8gb ram (2400 mhz) and a 1080p display and 1TB HDD, I recently bought a new laptop for someone else with Intel Core i3 - 1125g4 ie 11th Gen with an 8gb ram (3200 mhz) but 1368x768 resolution with a nvme ssd. I am currently a student studying computer sciences and spend atleast good 10-15 hours on screen. Should I exchange my i5 laptop with theirs as on the specs front it looks more promising for my use but the only thing bothering me is that it is not a FHD panel. Its an IPS display but not a FHD one. please give me your suggestions. -
Hello, I want to rename Widgets.exe to Widgets.exe.disabled so that windows can no longer find the process. I tried it via the cmd console (rename C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_421.20050.505.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy\Dashboard\ Widgets.exe Widgets.exe.disabled), sadly without success. Can someone help me? Maybe with a script? Don't want to uninstall it. I simply want to rename it so i can activate it again whenever I want. Thanks for every attempt

Does storing programming files in NAS and running it on PC/Laptop hits the performance of the program? I am currently developing a program CNN that detects objects using python; the problem is when my friend wants to test, add, debug and train the program, copying the whole files at around 5-10gb especially some file type copies really slow around 50-500kb/s via usb or in NAS. Can we use the NAS as the storage for the files and scripts and also for training the CNN so that we can develop, test and debug the program efficiently, we can't use github since it limits the upload size. I recently built a OpenMediaVault NAS using an old PC that has around 50-150MB/s transfer speed depending on the file type AMD A4-4000 Dual Core 2gb Ram HD 6670 32gb USB (OMV OS) 1.5TB Storage

I've spent the good majority of my weekend researching different monitors ranging from 4k IPS panels to 1440p VA high refresh rate panels. My goal is to find one good monitor that can be used for light gaming and media consumption on my off hours (I work from home) and at the same time be great for productivity work ranging from occasional Photoshop/Illustrator work to web design (programming) and word doc creation. I will be running one of my old 24" 1080p 60hz acer monitors vertically beside it where I will have my IDE running for programming. I've visited my local Best Buy but their selection was pretty limited so I haven't been able to see many different sizes and panel options in person. Side note, my MSI 3060 Ti VENTUS 3X OC will be driving whatever monitor I get. My questions: How wide is too wide for a flat monitor (I've found a few good deals on 32-34" IPS monitors but they are flat, not curved)? I know IPS is supposed to have better color accuracy, but if the VA panel is HDR10 or HDR400 and at least 1440p, is a VA panel just as good of an option? What are you running for a main monitor that is a good "all around" monitor (or what's your personal preference)? One panel I have been eyeballing has been the GIGABYTE M34WQ 34" IPS LED 144Hz WQHD KVM Gaming Monitor for around $500. As for the VA panel that I have been looking at, the Dell 34 Curved Gaming Monitor – S3422DWG has been tempting me. It is identical in price with the Gigabyte monitor, but it is at least HDR 400. I know monitors are one of those personal preference things, but I'm struggling making my mind up. I don't want to drop $500 on something that I don't have experience or proper knowledge about. That's why I'm coming here for some help. If you have any advice or if you'd like to point me in a specific direction, it would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey there, Yesterday unfortunately my laptop broke. I need to get one quite quickly because I am a computer science major. I do have a desktop, however it is quite practical to have a laptop. My main use will be programming on it and doing some other productivity work like emails and excel. Sometimes I will be running quite heavy programs, I have noticed with my old laptop that it really needed an upgrade. I do not need a graphics card, because I already have one in my desktop. My budget is around €1200, but feel free to suggest things with good motivation over my budget. The laptop I am currently looking into is the Lenovo Yoga Slim Pro 7. This laptop is a 14 inch laptop with a Ryzen 7 5800H, 16 GB ram and 512 gb ssd storage. Next to that it has a very nice screen, this is what is says: "14.0" 2.8K (2880x1800) OLED 400nits Glossy, 90Hz, DCI-P3 100%, HDR 500 True Black, Glass, Dolby Vision" It has one USB-A, a headphone jack, and two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports. this is the link, I tried finding it on the american website, however I couldn't find it. If you made it this far with reading through all the nonsense information. I would really like some comments on my current laptop pick and if there are better deals out there. 16 GB ram is absolute must, I would really like the same cpu, but I am not sure if I would need it. The storage doesn't really matter to me, so far I haven't used much more than 90 gb. Let me know if you know more than I do. Thanks for your time!

Hey, next year I should be going to university and I'll need a laptop for that. I intend on studying AI or Software engeneering (not fully decided yet). I know, that next year is far away, but due to the ongoing chip shortage, I'm already looking out for a good deal, and having no time preasure helps a lot. My buget is about max 15 000 CZK (666 USD, 590 EUR) but I'd more like to pay in the 13 000 CZK (580 USD, 510 EUR) neighborhood. I was thinking of getting a touch screen (I don't have one currently), but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Otherwise my only somewhat requirement is full size arrow keys (I know, that sounds stupid, it is, but I just can't get over having two arrow keys in one key slot), altho I'd probably get used to it after a few months. I know, a year (more like 9 months) is a long time, so I don't expect specific laptops. More like tips what to look out for and where it's better to compromise. I'll be thankfull for any help.

I have been using my acer aspire e5 511p for daily driving, and it's slow. I atm am buying a new laptop, but just wondering if upgrading ram is actually worth it? If possible, then I might hold on buying laptop for a while and buy it later -
Hi, I am looking for a new laptop, that would be replacing my current Dell latitude E6540. I have it configured with i7-4800mq and 16 GB of RAM. I also have a 2,5 inch SSD as the main drive. I am looking to give this laptop to a family member, who at the moment, doesn´t have access to a proper computer, since She has been relying on my desktop, and her phone. I am going to be using the new laptop for office 365, libreoffice etc. Other abitti-compatible programs. (IK, office 365 in´t compatible, I just use that for most of my school work.) And off course, abitti exams. For reference, these workloads were fine until the start of this year on this machine. At that time I was running it with only half of the cores (2c/4t). However, it felt a bit sluggish, so I put all the cores to use. TLDR, i7-4800mq is totally fine for all of these workloads. Also, the JDE and PDE I use (eclipse for java, PyCharm for Python) run just fine on the current machine. I would like to understand however, how well these workloads I just mentioned, would scale, comparing the i7-4800mq to a more modern i5-10210U. From what I could see yesterday, when doing my research, the i5 would be only 10-30% improvement in benchmark scores. Would you consider those benchmarks accurate? Thank you for your imput!

Link to the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3qH4y4 Budget (including currency): approx ~ $1000 USD - without GPU - Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: - FFXIV - City Skylines - Death Stranding - Horizon Zero Dawn - Programming (software and hardware - not huge compile times or too low level programming) - Some computer vision - External wacom tablet usage - Very light / beginner video editing possibly - Everyday use multimedia, youtube, email etc... Other details - 2 monitors eventually, first 1 will be a 1440p 27" 144hz / 160hz monitor (Gigabyte M27Q) - Already have a GTX 970 until we hopefully find a MSRP GPU 3000 series from Nvidia (recommendations appreciated) Parts I'm not too sure about: - Which motherboard to get, manufacturer and model. I am leaning towards a b550 instead of a x570 since we won't be overclocking it. - Power supply is 650+ too much (however, 3000 series GPU eventually) - Any better cases for the price (partner would like it be cute) - Ram (thinking 32gigs because they are a tab fiend and programming and openCV type stuff) Thank you for suggestions and recommendations and looking forward to reading them!

Hello, I have been searching for a laptop a long time now. I have this requirement list. The price Limit would be at approximately 2000€: -IR Camera (Windows Hello) -at least 500 cd/m² Display (if I'm outside) -AMD Processor (because of energy efficiency) -good Keyboard (like the Lenovo Thinkpads have) -full sized Numpad -at least 15 inch Display size -usb c charging -at least 16gb RAM (but doesn't matter if exchangeable) -at least 500gb SSD Nvme m.2. (but doesn't matter if exchangeable) -a fairly big battery -best with a internal graphics card (because of energy efficiency) -business laptop formfactor Is this even possible? I think so. My goal is a notebook with: -long battery life -work outside in the sun -easy carryable -usb c port for charging -big enough Display for programming, but not too big about 15 inches -nice keyboard with full size numpad -face login I want to use it mainly for programming. Currently I have a custom configured Lenovo e15 gen2 AMD (https://www.lenovo.com/at/de/laptops/thinkpad/edge-series/ThinkPad-E15-AMD/p/22TPE15E5A2). The closest notebook i've found is the Dell XPS 15 9510, but it does have a seperate graphics card, there is no AMD-Version, the keyboard doesn't have a Numpad. I know you guys have fairly more experience with different Laptops What's your opinion? Do you have any recommendations?

Hello everyone, I have been struggling to find out what exactly is causing this issue. I am setting up a wordpress.org website at home and it seems I'm running to a PHP problem so I'm curious if anyone has any insight at to what might be happening. I did already post a support topic over on WordPress but its not travel very much. Some things in this post are WordPress specific but I think this may be a PHP issue ultimately. I can not get past the step on connecting to the SQL database for setting it up for the first time. In the Debug log I get the following: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method wpdb::mysqli_connect() in E:\Website\wwwroot\wp-includes\wp-db.php:632 What is my Setup: Windows Server 2012 R2 IIS 8 Webserver PHP 8.0.11 Mysqlnd 8.0.11 WordPress 5.8.1 My SQL 8.0.26 What I have confirmed: •The Mysqli extension is enabled and ran a script on the site to show what's being loaded (php print_r(get_loaded_extensions());) •The Mysqli can connect to my database by using $conn = new mysqli(information goes here); •I do have full admin rights to the database on localhost •IIS Webserver has correct Modify permissions for the website directories and a Temp Directory •Other PHP code is executing as intended such as the examples above to confirm the webserver is able to do so. •wp-config.php has the correct login information •WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL argument does not exist in wp-config.php file What have I tired so far: •Restarting everything •Trying another fresh install •Switching to PHP 7.4 (stops at the same error) •Experimented with different code replacing line 632 in wp-dp.php with example code above $conn = If I could perhaps get some help with what exactly is going wrong or if it seems like I have not tried something. Thank you =)

So, I’m going to be studying Game Design pretty soon and I don’t actually know that much about what makes a good computer good. The school I’ll be studying at didn’t qualify any specs beyond it having to be less than 3 years old, so I’m somewhat left to fumble in the dark as I try to figure out what laptop to go for. For it to properly run Unity Game Engine, the engine we’ll be taught to work with, I’ve been told I’d need at least 16GB ram (and that I should look into one with at least 1 expansion slot). Along with good cpu and gpu. I don’t really want a gaming pc as they’re clunky, heavy, loud, and I’ve been told they tend to be expensive for the brand. I prefer laptops I’m able to carry somewhat comfortably, and for the screen to not be Thee Biggest, too. Something in the price range of 5000-10 000 nok (around 1130 usd or 963 eur). Since I live in Norway; if anyone has any Norway specific recommendations that’d be great:D -
Budget (including currency): 3000 € Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Programming(Full Stack Dev), Rendering Videos on daVinci, a nice have would be also gaming, but that is not my prio Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): This is the Link for my Beefy PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k3YwdD I am working as a Full Stack Dev and as a side hustle I want to do Videos. So a faster PC would help alot. I am not doing any 3D rendering, just editing Videos and rendering it. A faster Booting time would be great and if Overclocking punches the number high, then i will go with it :). The Geforce 1080 is going to be ripped off from my old pc and attached to the new one. I need a Monitor that is absolutely astonishing in color, etc. So I think a good monitor is the LG 27GL850-B Mic & Audio Mic.: Blue Yeti beyerdynamics hooked in a Scarlett 2i2 A really good Camera on Budget which can record or used as Webcam via linking stuff and obs etc.. would be awesome If you click on the link than you will see that i have some compatibility issues. I was following the video where they compared amd vs intel beefed up pc's and they changed the Motherboard. Now i am have a compatibility issue :D. Well any suggestions on same or better parts is appreciated Thanks a lot. ps. Later i will upgrade my GPU to a more powerful one like the RTX 3080 or something. So nice would be if i had the parts that can handle a 3080 or even a more powerful one.

I have to choose between 2 laptops and i don't know which will be more usefull for me -
I recommend you make sub-categories per-language to make it a ton-much easier to read stuff. Recommended categories: C C++ Python PHP HTML LUA C# etc.
