  • So I got a new laptop...

    The trick is to setup Windows initially with a local account with no password, then set a password and/or link your Microsoft account to it via settings after.

  • Mini rodent-based nightmare

    :) I read some where this has something to do with a design flaw in the Omrom 50m switches Logitech uses in there mice but IDK if that's true or not. This basic troubleshooting step will fix this issue on a lot of mice as I think the main cause of the problem is dust or something lodged in the switch and this procedure forces whatever is in there to dislodge itself. I have also found a couple of well placed bursts of air help too.

    Have you tried turning the mouse off, rapidly left and right click for 30 seconds or so, then turn it back on? I had a logitech gaming mouse that was double clicking randomly and these steps from the logitech support site fixed it.

  • What is the longest programming misconception you've held (that you are aware of)?
    C Chaoix

    That foreach loops in PHP scope and clean up their memory references. Spoiler, they do not! I fixed quite a few long outstanding bugs with unset() calls when I figured this out. I know its in the documentation but I bet quite a few of us don't RTFM on the looping structures.

  • Today was a productive day until Microsoft and/or Dell decided that is wasn't...
    C Chaoix

    Have you tried "forgetting" your Office's wifi network on the laptop and re-adding the wifi? Maybe the wifi network profile on the laptop has a mismatched channel or something. Has someone looked at the router since it overheated 4 days in a row? Maybe something got corrupted in its configuration from overheating. If the wifi on your laptop still works fine at home, I would still lead you towards looking at the router's configuration or the office network. It possible advanced settings such as the MTU can prevent connectivity, but all of those settings were more than likely set to default from all of the troubleshooting you have done at this point. Your laptop doesn't have a IP conflict with another device on the network does it? Maybe your work uses DHCP reservations and they got messed up?

    Ok WiFi is trickier to figure out for sure. Are other devices able to connect to the access point while your laptop will not connect? If not the router may be overheating, which would be why unplugging and replugging in the router fixes the issue. You can figure out a way to cool it such as a fan or something, or just replace it. Some older Linksys routers made in the early 2010s would overheat when they were brand new. I assume you have downloaded and reinstalled the latest driver for your WiFi card from the Dell website as well? Are you using Bluetooth on the laptop, if so try disabling the Bluetooth on the laptop. Dell has had alot of issues with their WiFi/Bluetooth cards in the past. I have personally had the Bluetooth issue on one of the Dell PCs at work.

    First thing I would suggest is to try running the Windows 10 network troubleshooter. It runs through and resets a bunch of network settings on your computer that could cause issues: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-fix-network-connection-issue[^] Next I would reset Internet Explorer. IE's internet options are still used for things like proxy settings in Windows 10: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17441/windows-internet-explorer-change-reset-settings[^] Finally, if none of that resolves the issue, try switching the DNS on your computer to Cloudflare or Google DNS. 1.1.1.1 — the Internet’s Fastest, Privacy-First DNS Resolver[^] Get Started  |  Public DNS  |  Google Developers[^]

    Sounds like a DNS problem. Firefox is the only browser that uses DNS over HTTPS so if you were having issues with the DNS server in your Wired Connection properties, Firefox would still work since it communicates with Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS instead. This would also explain why switching networks fixed the issue.

  • web development takes too long
    C Chaoix

    Google "object oriented CSS". Its a practice of creating reusable css classes and styles that helps eliminate the tediousness of working with CSS. I would also recommend separating your text css and site layout css into separate files that are loaded before your general css file. Having all of the general elements already styled out before doing specific element overrides will help eliminate the amount of CSS you have to write. You could even do this with form element CSS as well. You should also look at using a css reset vs using a css normalize and decide which approach fits your css approach best. I prefer using a reset because of the consistency it provides to the design in the end, but I know a lot of folks prefer using a normalize because there is less general element styling you end up needing in the end.

  • web development takes too long
    C Chaoix

    1. Don't support Internet Explorer. The only reason it exists anymore is for legacy business web apps and Microsoft has told web devs to stop supporting it in new sites and applications. 2. Invest in a browser screenshot tool like LambdaTest to cut down on your browser testing time. You can run a test and only do detailed testing on the screenshots that don't look right. 3. Use source control like git. This is a general development tip, but many in Web Dev seem to skip stuff like this to save time. It is worth it to be able to have a history of your changes. There are plenty of IDEs like Visual Code Code that integrate with git directly to make this really easy. 4. Use a smart deployment tool like git-ftp. Free for all FTP'ing everything to server will just lead to issues in the long run, especially if you need multiple people pushing changes out to your server. 5. Setup a local web server for development. This cuts all of the time involved pushing your changes out to test them. Their are plenty of AMP packages to pick from (XAMP or MAMP comes to mind) also if you have Windows Pro you can install IIS and install MySQL and PHP natively. You can also use a host file tool to redirect your domain name to your local machine while testing. I prefer HostProfiles for this on Windows (open to other suggestions if anyone knows of a better Windows tool in active development) and Gasmask for this on macOS.

  • Antivirus Recommendation
    C Chaoix

    I have heard really nice things about Vipre if you are looking for an endpoint solution: VIPRE - The Best Antivirus Software for Home & Business | VIPRE Antivirus[^] ClamWin + ClamSentinal is also a decent free choice due to its speed and lack of ad bloat.
