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.

Ugh, I'm looking for an uninterruptable power supply rated for my 1000W/15A PC and my ???W/???A 55" monitor because I've had a few power scares lately.
I bought one without checking the ratings, and it's useless. I'm probably going to give it away just because I don't want to deal with the return. It wasn't that expensive - about as expensive as it was useful.
I'm finding the difference between 1000W protection and 1500W protection is about $250 vs $550, and a huge size difference as well, and I have limited space.
I'm going to use one of those $30 power consumption monitors to see what my real world draw is when I'm not banging on my video card or CPU.
For the first time, I'm kind of longing for a relatively low power AMD system again, instead of my 180W TPD CPU and 320W TPD GPU. My power supply is rated @ 1000W / 15A, but I'm sure that's peak, but then again so is the rating on the UPS, unless I spend another $130 USD to get 1000W sustained output.
Anyone have a power hungry system on a UPS? What did you get?

APC Backup-UPS Pro 1500VA. Looking on the APC site seems it's no longer available (model BR1500MS). They have however other models that might fit your needs.
Years of pain have taught me stay away from any UPS that is not APC. Might be a bit more expensive but quality is great and their service superb. In the end, if you pay a bit extra it gets amortized over the years of trouble free service.

I hate to say this, but Amazon's reviews on APC's top end products are pretty negative. A lot of people having to have units RMA'd and replaced due to defect or otherwise complaining about performance or glitches.
Many of them are saying they used to rely on APC but it has went downhill.
You may have lucked out by having one of their older units, but those reviews make me uncomfortable. Other brands like cyberpower aren't coming up with reviews like that as much

Your mileage may vary but I’ve been using APC units for the last 15 years (I think). Previous bad experience was with triplite and cyberpower. Had only one APC unit die on me (actually on my son) and they sent a replacement unit in 2 days. Cool thing is that you send the bad unit only after you get the new one. Saves you the hassle of finding package for the old one.

I have the same here.
The transformer in the thing may be a bit suspect though. I'm hearing they are using aluminum wiring in them and soldering to aluminum is not the most reliable connection. If it fails, chances are that's what is going to do it.
Other than that, everything else in them is rock solid.

I use it more and more and for me it is much more efficient then to google for a specific (programming) question.
The strange thing is:
I feel something pressed to say 'thank you' after I got a usefull answer.
So I'm asking myself: Do you will really say thanks to a machine,?
In my mind I solved it, that I say 'thanks' to the builders of ChatGTP.

I don't thank it but I let it know when it's correct so it learns the right things. Approach it like a child in that regard and give positive reinforcement. Also, it is probably best to give it negative reinforcement when it is wrong so that is not propagated either.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

i concluded ChatGPT is not very intelligent as it was unable to answer a simple question i.e. "if you are walking down an alley with a canoe over your head how many pancakes does it take to cover a dog house?" i held its hand and lead it to the correct answer and it still did not see it . whilst asking it to consider its own responses i.e. reflection it blew a fuse i.e. message in red "something went wrong" .
it may be informative to know in what manner you utilized ChatGPT in your software development . Dave's Garage has a video re/ same 10X Your Code with ChatGPT: How to Use it Effectively - YouTube[^] . i hope to do so but am yet unsure how .

The problem - IMHO - is that ChatGPT has a static knowledge base. It does not learn from conversations, but only from the data-feed from the back... A Google search will find info from yesterday - try and ask ChatGPT about TypeScript 5 for instance...
But for the 'Thank you' part - I always talk to machines

This is my code, i am using XAMARIN FORM.
I can conect to the API using GET, the API is running, but when i try to do a POST to call the postTransacciones, i got the following error: NetWork Subsystem is down.
<pre>
var data = new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("fechaGasto", Fecha),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("tipogasto", TipoGastoData),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("RNC", txtRNCSuplidor.ToString()),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("NCF",txNCF.ToString()),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("URL", sUrl),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Monto",txtMonto.ToString()),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("TipoTransaccion",TipoTransaccion),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("email", EmailUser),
};
#if DEBUG
HttpClientHandler insecureHandler = DependencyService.Get<IHttpClientHandlerService>().GetInsecureHandler();
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(insecureHandler);
#else
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
#endif
string url = "https://localhost:7254/api/GetData/postTransacciones";
var json =JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(url);
var stringContent = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8,"application/json");
try
{
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(url, stringContent);
Thanks in advanced.

Sort of like: "the power is off".
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Wrong forum. Read the message at the top and click the link that says "Got a programming question?".
|
|
|
|
|
Check the port number of the "Access Point" and see if it's different from "7254".

|
|

For anyone is doing any Universal Cross-Platform Apps...
I'm considering either .Net MAUI or Flutter and I'd like to get some insight into these two before I make a decision.
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

This is from the CodeProject insider. Probably most interesting for those that are old enough to be even close to remembering some of this
Building a DOS ChatGPT client in 2023 - YKM's Corner on the Web[^]
Now I didn't actually consider the software in the article much of a challenge. I can see the lack of threads as a bit of problem but back then Windows 3.1 ran on an event loop so one just needs to be careful about blocking for too long.
But what really amazed me was that there was a network card that would work.
Also kind of amusing at the end though where the author asks ChatGPT to write the code for this project and it says it can't. Guess it won't be replacing programmers yet.

Doom was a DOS game, and worked over LANs. It should come as no surprise that some NICs worked under DOS.

I used to run a 10baseT 3com NIC in a dos machine back in the day. 486DX2/66 IIRC.
