[QUOTE=garychencool;48152008]I can't be the only one that uses their phone as their main notification center because I can't find/get something similar on my windows computer? I saw how well iOS and OS X works together with the notifications..[/QUOTE] Pushbullet on Chrome with Run in Background enabled basically does this for any platform, I can leave my phone charging by my bed and get notifications from everything on my desktop.
Such a love hate relationship with MS. I had to fix a mission critical that receives and processes large checks from banks in our Treasury Dept. It would not boot. I tried to boot in safe mode for grins to run sfc, but no joy. Tried to run sfc from a WinPE bootable, still no joy. Got tired of that and loaded it up in safe mode again to where things started getting hung up. The culprit was Classpnp.sys in windows/System32/drivers- it was hanging on that file so I had a hunch that it got corrupted somehow. I rolled the dice, captured an image of the drive, threw salt over my shoulder, replaced Classpnp.sys with a copy of that System driver file from my machine via WinPE, rebooted and voila- Machine rebooted, right in to the middle of Windows Update. :suicide:
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48152045]what did i do wrong now [code]var bankBalance = 1600; var phonePrice = 199.99; /* const TAX_AMOUNT = 0.08; */ function buyPhone(){ for (bankBalance; bankBalance > 0; bankBalance - phonePrice){ console.log(bankBalance); } } buyPhone();[/code][/QUOTE] You bought $200 phones until your bank account was empty? (Or would have if you replaced - with -=)
[QUOTE=srobins;48151795]Can someone explain why this concept would fail / doesn't exist (or tell me if it does): Why is there no OS or setting in existing OS' that only runs executables and loads assets which are signed by a certificate authority? Like, in order to prevent trojans or running of unverified code, only allow trustworthy developers to sign their packages, and then only run those signed packages if they can be verified against a CA? Like say Adobe releases Photoshop, they have to send their application and assets as a package to a CA like Microsoft, who issues Adobe a developer key used to sign their package, and includes a checksum of the package with the certificate. That way when the system tries running that signed Photoshop package, it checks to make sure the package checksum matches that of the certificate, and checks to ensure the certificate is valid via the CA. I feel like there should be some obvious reason why this isn't viable but I can't think of it.[/QUOTE] Well, small time freeware wouldn't be able to get a certificate. And even if you put in a box to allow "foreign" applications, a la Android, most people wouldn't find it. And since MS is probably still scared shitless of antitrust suits...
[QUOTE=lavacano;48152112]Well, small time freeware wouldn't be able to get a certificate. And even if you put in a box to allow "foreign" applications, a la Android, most people wouldn't find it. And since MS is probably still scared shitless of antitrust suits...[/QUOTE] Yeah but once again, this is for situations like government/military/enterprise solutions where being able to run somebody's homebrew model converter isn't vital to operations, and the only stuff you would even WANT to run is stuff that would be able to get a certificate anyway. So far it seems like distribution and hampering small time devs is the only major flaws I can pick out right away. I would imagine impersonating the CA would be the go-to exploit but assuming the rest of the system remains a "sealed unit" so to speak, it'd be hard to launch an exploit in the system without already having one.
[QUOTE=srobins;48152027]Pushbullet on Chrome with Run in Background enabled basically does this for any platform, I can leave my phone charging by my bed and get notifications from everything on my desktop.[/QUOTE] I have this working but the thing is, what if I want to deal with that notification later? I'd end up forgetting about it if I swipe it away or dismiss it. I don't see anywhere on PushBullet where it has history on Android device notifications. That and sometimes the notifications are annoying for some apps so I disable them entirely for that specific app in PushBullet.

I think that's a new feature (like, this week new) so maybe you just haven't noticed yet. As far as swiping away or dismissing them, just don't dismiss them? I'm a little confused, if you just let the Pushbullet notification on your desktop fade, the notification will still be there on your phone, or am I misunderstanding you?
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48152242]done goofed and forgot that it's -= in fors thanks mane[/QUOTE] I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a joke or if you were posting your homework so I figured I'd mention a solution just in case lol
Microsoft is holding a Windows 10 learning event through Skype for Business for retailers. Their web client is one of the buggiest pos' programs used. Also they are saying one thing during the presentation and not referring to their presentation for question period. sigh.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48152242]done goofed and forgot that it's -= in fors thanks mane[/QUOTE] It's not just in loops, the "a -= b" operator literally means "a = a - b". It works everywhere. Also, in a for loop, the first item in the loop clause is used to set up your iteration variable (var i = 0, usually), and since you don't have an actual loop variable it's not necessary. You could do this: [code]for(/* NOTHING :O */; bankBalance > 0; bankBalance -= phonePrice){ console.log(bankBalance); }[/code] If that looks weird, it's because it is. In this situation you want to use a while loop, like so: [code]while(bankBalance > 0){ bankBalance -= phonePrice; console.log(bankBalance); }[/code]
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48152808]thanks, man! ive been learning it through codecademy, but a friend (that has recently learned / started working with coding) told me she tried it and found it lackluster and gave me like a billion great stuff to check out, so not im reading You Don't Know JS codecademy only used for loops, they didnt even mention whiles[/QUOTE] That's... weird. I've heard a lot of okay feedback about codecademy. Nothing stellar, but not anything overly bad either. Skipping whiles is a bit odd, but perhaps they assume some previous knowledge. Anyway, if you feel the syntax and quirks of the language detracts from the actual learning process (as JS tends to do, I like it but it is [i]far[/i] from perfect) I'd say switch to Python. Bit harder to do graphical stuff, but if you're just doing learning examples it's far cleaner: [code] def howManyCanIBuy(balance, cost): items = 0 while balance > 0: balance -= cost items += 1 return items myMoney = 9001 price = 200 amount = howManyCanIBuy(myMoney, price) print amount [/code]

I have no idea if that actually exists or not. The pushbullet notifications from my phone is nice but I want the same kind of system but on my Windows computer.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48154675] Why did old processors contain gold and what was their purpose?[/QUOTE] Gold is highly conductive and doesn't oxidize. It's used in lots of electrical components. Did you not know this?
I found this at a thrift shop for 50€. I can see them on EBAY for 130$. Is it actually worth this? [img]http://i.imgur.com/8kf3lmD.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Reagy;48155042]I sit crosslegged without knowing shut up you cheeky fuck.[/QUOTE] I don't get people who have problems sitting cross legged, I do it all the time and never get a dead leg / crushed nuts :v:

[QUOTE=kaze4159;48155119]I don't get people who have problems sitting cross legged, I do it all the time and never get a dead leg / crushed nuts :v:[/QUOTE] Same, but I know a lot of people who find it 'gay' when guys do it. Like wtf.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48155199]well i used to cross leg sometimes i also cover my hands in my hoodie and sit in a p girly manner then again i am literally gay so :/[/QUOTE] I do it when sitting on normal chairs. Like, office chairs, or dinner table chairs. Usually get annoyed by tables, because the chairs are too high / tables are too low for me to sit comfortable
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48155233]how tall are you :v:[/QUOTE] 1.85 or 1.86
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48155281]5'10 master race you're literally an inch taller then me and i dont have this issue, you must have long legs or somethin[/QUOTE] Yes I do
