Is it logging in, or is it logging on? Either way, I'm having problems.
Her is the situation, I'm able to log in to CodeProject just fine from my home laptop. I've recently received a replacement laptop for work. And from this new computer, I can not log in to CP. Anybody experienced this? I used to log in from my old work laptop just fine.
Side note, my home laptop is a 2006 Gateway. Yes, I've thrown more memory in to it, and installed an SSD, but it keeps chugging along nicely. On the work side, I am now on my 3rd DELL Craptop since 2018.
Remember, no matter where you go... there you are.

I log in fine from desktop, Surface, and phone - have you tried clearing your CP cookies? Are you using the same browser on both? Do you remember your password, or do you let the browser handle it for you?
Have you tried Sugs'n'Bugs[^]?

If you can't login from your work computer, there may be a number of issues:
1. Try turning the computer on before attempting to log in
2. Make sure your computer has an internet connection - weird one, I know, but it seems to be related somehow
3. You should login using a browser; it's possible to do it in Word but rather convoluted
4. Make sure you're at codeproject.com before attempting to login; logging in at other sites will not log you in to CodeProject
 Sorry, not trying to be rude (honest!) but illustrating the fact we need a little more info...  What happens when you attempt to log in? And is your "work laptop" at work, or is it at home on the same connection as your own one? Does the new one connect over a VPN? Follow the usual debugging steps - what's different between the two? What clues do you get from any error message?
Finally, remember that CodeProject is just a bit of fun; shouldn't be used for anything serious like work!

Specifically their Revu, Digital Workflow Solution with Studio | Bluebeam, Inc.[^] product?
This is not an endorsement, this is an "if so, could I contact you privately", as something isn't working.
And yeah, I could have posted this in Q&A, and while it's a technical question ultimately, I wanted to reach out to a broader community, so forgive me, I'm probably burning some CP credits here, lol.

Not me... good luck with that

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

nah, I think you have more than earned your street cred. we look the other way for some people.
and unfortunately, no, I have no experience with that API system.

The ISS also has much less than a millionth of the useful volume (going by the 2001: A Space Odyssey Docking Sequence)

An elevator.
With a really strong wire

But Tsiolkovsky's original suggestion was a tower.

There is a very good book by Arthur C. Clarke, The Fountains of Paradise, about the building of the first space elevator.

I know, the best part of that page is the calculations.

My surprise is the number of reasonably qualified people who have pursued this idea for 125 years, when the calculations show that with current materials (over those 125 years), we many magnitudes away from being able to build such an elevator. There is only one reasonable explanation for that: These people never did the calculations. (And they didn't have Wikipedia to give it to them  )
Even today, we are theorizing about nanomaterials that might be strong enough. I didn't see any estimate of the total amount of nanotubes required, but it occurs to me that those USD 6 billion for building the whole thing is slightly on the optimistic side.
If those estimates hold true, we might even use a similar solution for an electricity generator: Put a little extra weight on the counterweight to pull the rope slowly outwards. In the earth end, the rope is pulled from a huge spool; the rotation of the spool drives the generator (through an almost unimaginable gearbox that probably will require another nano-development of strong enough materials).
Maybe we end up with such a demand for carbon that we can't allow coal to be burned for heating...

People searching to solve the impossible are the one that makes science leap forward.
The amount of things we can do or build today that was impossible 100 years ago is quite staggering.
Then of course, the amount of things people thought would be easy to solve but still aren't is also really large.
