I've worked with Delphi, Paradox, etc. but it's not a "code-less" tool for a "user".
Like cryptocurrency, "code-less" is intended to appeal to those that don't know any better.
I think in the context it's being pushed, it implies "no code" and not "less code". (The fine print)

looks like in some time a large number of organizations will adopt this way. i don't mean completely abolishing programmers, but rather using automation aided coders.
you apply for work in some corporation and they tell you, it is required to use this automated framework that writes the code and you just fill in the blanks if any or make some corrections.

The "coders" can still assemble all the (code-less) widgets in the wrong order. Sort of like they do with language object classes ... but now marketed as user-friendly programming.

I got the vaccine, too, but there's no 5G service yet in my neighbourhood

Agreed, but making fun of idiots has always been allowed, providing it's not carried too far.

Yes, but what's idiotic is often in the eye of the beholder. If I trolled about all the things I think are idiotic, my account would get closed mighty fast.

Same way the human population got aids from other hominids. You culture a vaccine for anything that usually infects sheep in a human infected with Covid-19 then inject it into sheep until one or more is infected with covid-19.

My entertainment laptop which used to be my mainstream machine, an Acer Aspire 19" running Win 10 Pro, had a problem of an inadequately cooled GPU. In the summer it would frequently just lock-up - frozen screen, nothing working, so a power switch long press needed. It always happened when the GPU was working hard, but the CPU temperature never went above 78°C - well within bounds for a Core i7 - and usually ran at around 65°C.
Now, it is happening at modest room temperatures when the GPU should be doing nothing - static screen, no apps running, just either Edge or Chrome streaming music over the headphone socket, with HDMI disabled.
I use Malwarebytes Pro, free courtesy of my bank, and when I installed their Browser Guard it found a couple of dodgy extensions in both browsers, which it deleted, and everything was fine for that evening, but the next day the problem was back.
It rather looks as if I've been hacked. Unfortunately, being an older machine, Task Manager does not show GPU activity like it does on my newer laptop.
Does the CP hivemind know if there's anyway of finding what is accessing the GPU - and, more importantly - how to stop it?
Pretty please - it's driving me crazy!

GPU heating ... doesn't that usually mean cryptojacking?
You could try booting to safe mode and see if it goes away - if it does, then something is using the GPU and crypto is a good bet. Reinstalling the OS is the best way I know to get rid of nasties like that ...
Or it could be that the heat paste on the GPU (do they use that on lappies?) is breaking down and it just doesn't have enough cooling any more!

That's what I'm afraid of. earlier in the year I checked out a trial version of a graphic equalizer app. The trial version said it would use some of the processor/network capacity for VPN support elsewhere, when the machine was idle. I paid for the pro version, which meant they didn't do that. I am now deeply suspicious of what was left behind when I removed that app a couple of months ago.
OriginalGriff wrote: Reinstalling the OS is the best way I know to get rid of nasties like that ...
A bit of a problem, there. The laptop originally had Win 7 Home. I upgraded to Pro on a MSDN licence I had at that time. I then used the free upgrade to Win 10 Pro when it was announced. Incidentaly, that was when the GPU over-heating started, but only when the machine was really stressed. A couple of months ago I went to the Windows Upgrade site, and managed to replicate the process Win 7 Home to Win 10 Pro in a single swoop. Whether I can repeat this process remains to be seen.

Not usually. The usual way is to have a thick copper bar as a heat sink which runs over the CPU and GPU and terminates in a finned jobbie cooled by a small fan. The fan is definitely working right, and the machine is sitting on the best multi-fan cooling pad I could find.

Sounds like a silly question, but do you sleep, hibernate, shutdown, or restart your lappie?
I know that shutdown and restart don't do what you might expect: shutdown hibernates the kernel to make startup faster (which preserves dodgy drivers in situ) where restart rebuilds the whole kernel from a "blank template".

Ah ha! I always just close the lid to hibernate, but it does get a regular cold boot after it has crashed, been forcibly powered off, and left to cool, so I presume that counts as a full restart. Of course, I don't know the kernel state after the lockup, as stuff is still running - the machine doesn't seem to cool down after the lockdown.
