I found something called Immersed (it's a paid-for product with a free tier it looks like so no link - Google will find it) which allows me five monitors (I have three in hardware) and works over WiFi. Would I want to code in it? Probably not - adding an extra 300g for eight hours doesn't appeal and the battery life is going to be pretty short I think. But yes, it works - and you can add a monitor than no-one else can see if you are doing private stuff in work time ... It can let you see your real keyboard, but I don't think the Pico 4 has good enough cameras for that, it seems to need a huge amount of light to see anything!

Thanks for the article. I did happen to read that article when trying to research a problem that I'm having with the out-of-process designer! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Well, that happened to OG as well lately, did someone play with the matrix again? Rules for the FOSW ![^] MessageBox.Show(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_signature) ? $"This is my signature:{Environment.NewLine}{_signature}": "404-Signature not found");

good one! :) "A little time, a little trouble, your better day" Badfinger

Translating between color models is always problematic... sometimes they don't even agree on what white is :rolleyes: . A fair amount of the time you can do conversions with precomputed tables. Of course I don't know how well that would work for you in your constrained IoT environment. Software Zen: delete this;

If you're familiar with how joins work but are having problems figuring out how to use them in a particular query, it might be good to back up and look at the structure of the database you're working with. For instance, do you even have a good key to join on? A poor DB structure with a lack of normalization can make joins difficult or even impossible. If that's the problem, one way around it is to throw the data into temp tables with the correct structure you need for the joins and query against that. Speaking of which, in a addition to learning about SQL it's also a very good idea to learn the fundamentals of database design if you haven't already. Knowing about things like normalization, keys, and indexing really helps when writing SQL.

Born and grew up in Canton, Ohio Town was divided Black and White Sides of town before 1945 and till about 1965 My grade school 8 years was rural farm country All White every year being young and dumb when I got to High School OMG there were Black kids I was too unenlightened to understand and disliking people because of the color of their skin My lesson came when my father talked about a NAACP person who came to the Circular Saw Mfg Plant where he was the VP. They only had 35 employees I think 10 of which were Black This NAACP guy told my dad he had to have 6 Black employees My dad told him he had 10 but that he would fire 4 of them to meet the quota That was the last time the NAACP showed up When I was a teenager we had only one Mexican Restaurant in all of Stark County and it was 30 miles east of Canton about 1970 that changed we had our first Mexican Restaurant I was told to move out of the barracks I was in at Ft. Polk by the Black guys who where the only occupants. I was only in that barracks because my Black Friend Henry from Ohio and I were transferred to the 91st Evac Hospital from Fort San Antonio Henry put a stop to the whole mess he always had my back. FYI Henry's upper arm was 10 in in diameter his father was Military so he understood much more about life than this wet nose kid for rural Ohio
