1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I had the License Plate Reader 1.0 up and working and noticed in the Install Modules, there was a newer release ALPR 2.1. Knowing I shouldn't run both, I (mistakenly) elected to first uninstall the ALPR 1.0 module then attempt to install ALPR 2.1. ALPR 2.1 is failing to download and now I can't re-install ALPR 1.0 as it is missing from the Install Modules section. How do I get ALPR 1.0 back ? I am on CodeProject AI server 2.0.8. I was using LPR with Blue Iris the last serveral days with a camera I purchased specifically for license plate capture.
In the server logs I get the message "Unable to download module 'ALPR2' from https://www.codeproject.com/KB/articles/5348853/ALPR2-2.1.zip. Error: No bytes downloaded"

After few "try this and watch for smoke ..."
Setting "to" parameter to zero / "0" makes the Bluez function return correct result in unspecified time.
Setting the "to" parameter to "lower then best guessed" value in mS - the function will return "-1" - a customary error value.
Same as thermos bottle will keep hot contents (coffee?) hot and cold contents (beer ?) cold -
BUT how does it know to keep hot hot and cold cold?

It doesn't; it just slows the rate of change to the state of equilibrium with its environment.

Stop making icons "better" and adding tabs nobody uses to the file manager, and concentrate on getting things organised properly.
It's been eight years since Win 10 came out, and even in the latest, most up-to-date version if Win11 we still have to remember which of two totally different settings programs we need to use to do things.
For example, "Settings" has a "Power" area - but the "power button" on a keyboard action is only available via "Control Panel". Trying to search settings for "Power" won't show control panel items which is the only clue we get that it might be the wrong app - or it might be called the "sleep button" instead. Nope? Ok, maybe the "moon button"? No? Where is control panel ... ? Ah, there it is.
You've fannied about reducing the taskbar usability, but you ignore the bits that actually matter - integration and user focus. Please, pull your finger out soon ...

Just noting there are alternative file manager programs.

True, until Microsoft comes up with "their" version and makes the other people go away.
I paid for a useful multi desktop manager, then MS got their finger out of their "nose" lol - and implemented something that did not violate any trademarks but it was enough to put the other company off. I guess if it's opensource, etc....

I think it reflects that they have "too many employees".
(I remember back when thinking it was time to move on when I was being sent to ask users "how things were going" when I was in a department where there was little or no actual development.)

I think it comes down to the quality of employees. Anytime I see feedback on their support forums it starts with "hi, I am a 3rd party mvp, and I am here to help. We are very sorry you are having issues, blah blah blah."
I think it's a failed auto response. Completely useless.
Hi, Outlook won't let me "...." whatever.
Answer: have you tried to reboot? Have you updated your drivers? (as if drivers would have ANY impact on outlook).
Hell, I guess it boots and mostly works.

New device for mental masturbation. A 12 key programmable keyboard, 4x3. Fun creating macro's to send to system. I know, I know, what fun is that?
All great but so far, don't care about the LED's, not fond of color shows. Has a small OLED screen and an encoder that makes for a possible gazillion macro's. Well, until you run out of RAM. Program in Arduino or python, QMK coming.
Stress reliever. Have avoided "hello world" so far.

Can you also program different combinations of key presses? Eventually see if you can replace your full-sized keyboard with it... and hide it in your jacket pocket so you can take it with you on the road as you start hacking into Starbucks for free coffee.
Just a thought...

Hi All,
On Friday I posted about the useless bit of Friday. Chose a task that should have been done, so I would treading already well trodden ground. Found a 'mess' up (choose your own profanity!) of Biblical size. Spend the weekend working out how to tell people about it (company issues, I'm in Production, there in R&D, last time I found something like this I got a telling off by R&D for looking into there files). Company politics got to love it!

Instead of thanking you for finding a bug? 
I see what you mean about company politics - sorry to hear that.
