Caching is always great to deal with when it comes to debugging. Always so helpful it is, serving out valid, stale requests that don't reflect what is actually happening on the ground. [image: d8d05d53-236f-44d3-b8c2-6e9bc504f66a.png]

We also have a strange problem with our Sectigo (formerly known as Comodo) certificate, Windows 11 says the publisher is not trusted when running our software, while there is no problem under Windows 10. :~

Your false sense of security has just been shattered...You are not as clever as you thought you were, and your backups are shite! :omg: 1: Doubt...Hmmm what about the other 20 daily backups? Are they all shite? :confused: 2: Relief...Whew! The other backups are fine. Just these two from this server are crap. 3: Annoyance. I just want to get on with work. Now I have to log on Azure, allow myself to RDP into that box, get raw unzipped backups, and start troubleshooting the problem. 4: Sleuth Mode...the problem seems to be with the zip lib...maybe a bug...maybe fixed? Go get the latest version to find that it's being deprecated, and the last version is 6 y/o. Whatever, I'll try it. 5: Disappointment. :sigh: Nope that didn't work, time to open the project and debug with one of the dbs having the issues. 6: Excitement. :-D Yay! I was able to replicate the issue...now on to understanding. 7: Discovery: A well-phrased search put me on the right track...a known issue with an easy fix. 8: Humility: I'm sure I would have discovered this eventually, but I put a lot of faith in an automated process without actually verifying the outputs, which was the only way to detect the problem.

I bumped into a few of them the other week and laughed my backside off. Then I couldn't remember what the channel was called and since I'd been watching in incognito mode, had no history. Soon as I saw the University of North Texas mug, I knew they'd be a hoot. :laugh:

Well, there you go again.

Liked it immediately ! :-\

I forget the exact code, but the byte order mark is easy to check for and skip programmatically. Something like the high bit is set. (I forget the actual details) so you can just check for that, and if you see it, skip that byte and the next. If I got something wrong here, forgive me, it's half remembered from years ago, but the concept is simple enough. Check with a mask, and then skip the mark if the mask is set.

I have the Logitech M215 and experienced similar behavior. Occasional lag when USB receiver gets blocked by hardware like a USB external drive, just move keyboard and mouse closer or move drive. I use desktop. "A little time, a little trouble, your better day" Badfinger

Maybe it's the wrong door. I would try FTP'ing the whole thing. "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen.

Well yes! That's exactly what happened! :sigh: I was rushed to add a few features to a new web app yesterday morning which unfortunately spawned a copy/pasta logic error making the app unusable. I hadn't even left the driveway before finding out about it! :mad: Luckily for me, I had a few hours of nothing else to do this morning, so I got it fixed and posted and all is well again...until the next call. :laugh: Working on vacation is the price I pay for refusing to hire another developer. :) It's worth it!

Do you have the desktop version of OneNote? The "copy text from image" option sometimes works. :-D "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer
