To the one question, no. We went classic with lock, transact, unlock. I will not go into any depth here. This is IMO the same old discussion about how to handle transactions and is done to a crisp.

If you're in the US there's some orange golfball and brain worm problems along with just a few insurance companies in charge of this. I see NO OPENING for a small under 1 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY here. Unless your last name is one of those in the current administration.

After more reading about this, using Quora looks to be good for Quora unless your answer is spot on, a winner and has offered extended answers at your site. If you are just on that site to spam, you may not see any hits.

I've seen folk fall for "you'll need a custom" solution too many times. The worst case was when I suggested using a ready to deploy system that had all the things. Shopping cart, checkout, inventory management, shipping labels, and the list goes on and on. Three years later and not …

011-571-275-2000 is also valid. Sorry but your post looks PROMOTIONAL and nothing more than that.

"results today"? SEO doesn't seem to reward you "today". There's plenty of advice to be had but the folk looking for results "today" are often upset.

The problem as I see it is that something over 50% is A.I. generated now so you are being buried in AI SLOP. If you are serious about something then get on Substack, make good stuff and get folk to buy your subscription. Times have changed. Sure, go fight the …

Not enough detail. However I've seen malware do that. The PC was hacked, not the web site.

Seems you're getting downvotes. Why is that?

If it works, move on to the next project.

Today it's all AI and can be what most call AI SLOP. The best ghostwriter is someone you know and NEVER a service.

## Actually I'm seeing a morph to DISMAL MAGIC! My son who taught A.I. classes is now working as a programmer and the next hire was nothing about programming. They call themselves a programmer but have taken no programming or related classes in any computer related field. All they do …

No code shared? File under "Doctor, it hurts when I do this?" Doctor: Don't do that.

Now put in a really large number such as the number of observeable stars today. That's 200 billion trillion stars (2 × 10²² to 7 × 10²² or more).

3 to 6 months. However, I would only do this if the job required it. I would NEVER get that cert in hopes of landing a job.

Small world. My son taught A.I. courses at uni. But with the changes to US department of education, DOGE and more the funding vanished and he's now in the real world. Back as a software engineer (is that the term?) he does use A.I. but short of vibe coding. So …

Are you sure it's the video card? Tell more about this PC. All the details about the make, model, age, condition (are the vents and fans good as new?) and how you determined it's the video card. I've used many video cards over the years and all were very reliable. …

Over the past week I've put more of LibreOffice through its paces. While we do have older versions of Office good to go, I can't find reason to install those today.

Electrical worker's joke: Q. Why do the lines hum? A. Because they don't know the words.

I looked and see they've veered into video piracy now. Mind you this varies with each country but the titles they showed, pirates. We (USA) should talk given how we are now pirates on the open seas.

From the past, grep? grep -rnw '/path/to/your/folder' -e 'your_search_string' I remember folk quite scared of the command line.

Small world. My son for his final project needed such data and so I can write with some experience on the matter. Here's the opening problem. THIS IS NOT FREE OR OPEN DATA! The information is FOR SALE. Those that search for free access will, for now be morose and …

I just had a client get upset over VPN. It was for another reason and I thought I'd share it here. First the cause of the failure. The VPN GEO relocates the device. That is, to the web, the device (PC, phone, pad, etc.) now looks like it is in …

To the last question. The last mobile dev I worked on was NATIVE. For each platform we used Apple and Google's own kits. Today I might not bother and go hybrid. That is, the app is pulling content from the web servers. This means the mobile app isn't as scary …

Small world. My son is doing the gig thing for the Amazon Whole Foods delivery. You can look at that to see the scale of the apps for the customer facing apps. You might think that such an app is "just one app." SURPRISE! In the Amazon system you have …

The cost of tokens. Since the users can do the oddest things to cause the AI chatbot to eat more and more tokens, the cost benefit fades fast. The next issue is liability or the cost of insurance. If your bot gets a price or advice wrong, you are still …

I'm deferring to all the prior complaints about this and skipping to the programmatic approach I took. Here's the two commands we can use in a batch file to make it easy to put it back. From superuser.com "Oct 27, 2021 — Assoc is part of a two command thing. …

Given that's your web build/edit method, look up how to's on W3Schools. Example: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images_background.asp Once you learn that and you move beyond HTML, use CSS for this. Example: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-image.php

You'll have to define reliable. AI, LLMs and such are not 100% reliable so would you trust an AI Doctor? For now, all this is bullshittery and AI SLOP.

Wait a minute. You appear to work for or own a SEO company. Shouldn't you be writing the answers to this?

Sadly the last remote support to my neighbor installed spyware which took over the computer and they came to me to wipe and reload the OS. Good luck with your search and why don't you outsource on Fiverr?

1. How did you verify or vet these people? 2. As to the app, stack and more, you build according to your skills. If you don't know how to do a thing you learn the thing. The weird thing is that I am finding folk think they can make a …

I find that the people who PAY for the work set the pace and what else you are asking about. When I wrote apps freelance I would write the proposal and work would begin and stop with the payments. Right or wrong, when the program ended, so were my thoughts …

Read this twice and can't tell what the product is. Can't sell a thing if you don't know what it is!

About 10 years ago one might stick with a HDD. Today, nope. Just pop in the SSD and don't overanalyze.

Tokens. I'll eat your tokens. I'll eat all the tokens I can when I'm on such a site or call. > Voice AI hallucinates more than text AI — and it comes down to tokens. One sentence in text is ~10 tokens. In voice? Up to 100. So sure, keep …

That no-server side processing looks to be a lie. You have a web site so somehing happens server side. Time to create an app instead. Don't dance around and tell me lies. Maybe I shouldn't ask questions either. > Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

> I’m now exploring the possibility of moving to Canada We lived in Vancouver for many years. It was in the 1990's but today it's far more crowded. Even so the social network was far better than any city I've lived in the US. The parks and more are amazing.

My son taught at a nearby UNI. The schedule is set by the committee and changes as the year progresses. Usually due to staff availability, number of attendees and so on. Weird thing, no software involved. Just a committee.

Look up NEEDLESS FAFF. That's what you are describing. But hey, it's your app and time. Stop that and get the app or job done.

Given the cost of the gear in question I would never use a PSU that isn't listed for use with the Juniper switch in question. But hey, your hardware to smoke!

Right now this is bad idea because people can cause many of those chatbots to hallucinate and eat TOKENS. Example at https://imgur.com/gallery/kit-boga-makes-ai-chatbot-go-crazy-hallucinate-kit-is-why-did-you-redeem-guy-who-scams-scammer-callers-aHTRl05 This is similar to the old SQL INJECTION problems and for now you have NO DEFENSE against this. But hey, your TOKENS to get burned.

Retrying is a easy out. Did you find out WHY it failed?

They are chasing The Holy Grail. I've found single codebase to be limiting since you can't use a platform strength or feature. Did you try a shared codebase?

My son is working for some company and they have made the mistake of building their own CRM. That's the first "goes wrong" in that story. It's CRM. If your management doesn't know CRM and how to run their business then you better have an exit plan.

Watt a second. WHERE did that first requirement for the CPU come from? Why is that the issue or requirement? I really want to know where they can from.

Based on your past posts let's hope this is not about stillbon software. For me a PDF does not have much to get to Excel so a simple copy and paste is all I do then the work to make it into the spreadsheet I wanted. What more is there …

What's the goal? If clicks it appears that AI SLOP is what you need to compete today. If you have something to say, then go on Substack.

How I did that was to install the last or latest version. Done. Since my license was legit, not a single problem to report except the time it took to get it done.
