Recently I posted a question.
Which was closed as off topic.
I then thought. Hey, now I don't know where to post my question.
I don't even know where to ask where to post my question.
I then came up with enhancement/feature ideas to help with this situation.
So I wrote a feature request, which ...
@OliverSalzburg Aye, it's far from impractical. I think I have some half-arsed code from doing something similar; before I realised the reason I was using a service was because I was on a dodgy connection anyway...
To those interested, the Back and Forth between Samsung and Company X, Y and Z has come to the point that I am not typing an Invoice for time, work and drive to both Samsung NL, which a local Executive Officer will receive by name by signed for mail soon. Gotta love the internet, social media and a general skill of stalking.
not = now
Anyone have some good advice for a nice and fast M.2 SSD card, minimum 100GB, which is also fast, but not a Samsung? I did notice the difference very well between the Samsung SM951 and the other one with a "low" speed of 510MB/s, but I can't seem to find any other drives that are pretty much 1:1 a replacement at a comparable budget range.
(that's read speed of course, copy from drive to mem on Samsung with its claimed 2000MB/s was about twice as fast in C++)
I just synched my Exchange account with my Google account
Of course, Exchange generates calendar entries for everyones birthday
And then it synched those calendar entries back to Google
Now I have every birthday twice
And because Google merges like every piece of information from every account into one, I now even have the most remote Facebook contacts in my Exchange account O___o
@OliverSalzburg Oh righty; you got me there I'm afraid. I use it on/from/between Linux machines. I've never used Clonezilla to back up to a live Win machine.
i'm messing around with autohotkey to automate some web downloading (over a thousand files with sub menus to click through). i've made a script that recognises when a page has loaded by pixel colour and goes through these menus till it's back at the start. i now need to make another script to select each file in the list and run the first script then when it's finished, select the next and so on...
it seems like a fairly standard scripting language. what is the standard way of getting a script to do this?
i could, for example, have one script that clicks the first link, runs a script B (that goes through all the menus and back to the start), clicks the second link, runs script B again, and so on...
but i'm not sure if that is the best way. is there a way to do it all in one script where it runs a certain sequence and then returns to where it was before it activated that sequence?

Answers that are obviously wrong should be deleted/fixed. They simply confuse the issue, even with downvotes on them, the people viewing your answer won't necessarily know why it is wrong, and so they might draw the wrong conclusions.
Answers that are subtly wrong should remain. You should add ...
@JourneymanGeek If I had it only for a laptop, I would probably use any of the 12VDC, 24VDC, 48VDC or 230VAC fans I have in standard stock for projects, but that requires wiring and such, but the freezer spray is there for debugging heat problems in PCBs that I either have to fix or have designed
@OliverSalzburg That is new fangled NTFS Symlinking as parsed by an old-fangled Win32/DOS application
Because symlinking is new and scary to Win developers, they never thought about parsing it before... say... 2013
And then Windows just reports it as a normal folder for backwards compatibility
Thusly: Infinite loop
Because the folder, here's the hilarious part, of "Users\AppData\" contains a symlink to itself with the name "Application Data" to fix a recursing bug
Which is pretty much a 1, 2, 3 manual of how not to make a modern day OS
My default procedure is have a script that unlinks the symlink, makes a backup through whatever program (don't care how old) and then re-create the symlink
I first discovered this when I used my old 2009 dirsize analyser and it reported a Users folder of 79GB on a 60GB drive
What I don't get is, I'm running robocopy with the mirror and backup switches. I would normally assume that a somewhat sophisticated application that is mirroring and backing up data, could handle a fucking symlink
Before, I was attempting to copy with TeraCopy. And that failed majorly when I tried to select a target folder, and, previously, I had a folder on a network location selected, but that folder was then deleted. The application could not handle it and would freeze
Which would introduce all kinds of cool new experiments, like running the same Linux on 3 exactly the same machines, but I suspect Debian and/or Ubuntu now also do Hardware ID checking like Windows does
@allquixotic That is actually quite close to what my build server has (bit of a werid-nomer, since it compiles/renders/builds just about everything from PDFs to Gerbers to hex files)
Like in the planning stages of making a country or starting a revolution there'd be this dude at the back of the room who'd say "I've got this really neat design for a flag..."
As someone who believes we need better gun laws (i.e. allowing people to carry and purchase "restricted" firearms, and have them for protection), kinda yea. I know it never would go, but it's a possibility
Problem with that reasoning though is that: 1. Canada is one of the largest *exporters* of firearms 2. What good does a gun law to restrict lawful citizens do? Criminals don't follow laws 3. If everyone assumed everyone else was armed, who's gonna be dumb enough to rob a place or kill someone?
@Psycogeek Haven't looked into thermal imagers of this sort until now.
Can be very useful in making energy-saving fixes around the home.
Consumer-grade thermal imagers. Lots of uses.
I've had an inexpensive ($40, Newegg) IR thermometer for a while and have used it to monitor the temperature of electronic equipment over time as well as get a better sense of how hot or cold things are.
It's no substitute for a real thermal imager, though, where you can actually see a heat image.
@Hennes If the cop feels threatened, and doesn't know what's going on, I could see it happen. And yes, if the cop is thinking straight, and has time to aim low, he probably should. I'm not a cop though, and I don't know what goes through their minds when they draw their weapons.
