Need a program that restricts pc usage for a certain length at specific times.

Hello folks,

I'm looking for a program that limits the usage of my pc for about 5-10 minutes at certain times of the day. Preferably with some kind of notice or popup with a specific task.

Does something like this exist?

Thrift shop "CD MASTER 2"

Folders as seen on my XBOX360.

Good evening, morning, whatever,

Thanks for clicking and hopefully you will be able to help me with my case. For context, I have bought a CD-R titled "CD MASTER 2" at a thrift shop. I cannot put it into a computer for now, since my wonderful machine does not have any CD player. I was able to read it on my dying xbox360. No images, no videos and no music could be read. Instead, I just have 12 folders (maybe they are empty, maybe they aren't, no way to know with the xbox).

I will be able to access it on an old computer tomorrow.

My question is the following: how were these files created? My theory is that it is an archive of an old computer, but I'm very interested in the process involved. And, if there are any piece of advice to know before opening these file extensions.

I read online that .02 extensions are related to the Apple II and .xx extensions are unclear to me.

The CD itself (TDK CD-R80 700MB) was apparently still commercialized around 2003.

File Explorer Alternative - Small Business

I own a small business that is using a program called File Cabinet. It is horrible. Traditional File Explorer is much easier to use and less of a resource hog. However, File Cabinet does have some features I like. Do you know of an alternative to File Explorer that can do the following.

  1. limit the ability of users to move or delete files. Either may be appropriate, but I want a dialog box to show up if they try to move or delete something. If not a dialog box, just limiting moving and deleting.

  2. will show a preview of PDF and Microsoft products.

  3. This is less important, but could auto create folders. Every new client I get will essentially get it's own folder tree. I don't want to have to recreate that over and over.

  4. Provide tech support

I currently pay a good amount of money for our current system, so cost isn't really an issue.

Anyone know what resource monitor software this is?

Could be a rainmeter skin but I'm not sure, if anyone knows where I can find it that'd be great.

Seeking for a soft able to automatically record the window of an .exe when it starts

Hi ! I'm working in QA in a video game company and it bothers me to have to launch a record every time i start a new build of the game.
I'm seeking for a soft able to detect when a specific .exe is launched and record its window.
Ideally i would like to be able to make clip of the last X seconds and to edit the clip directly with the same soft if needed buts it's not mandatory.
Any reco ?

How do we implement dynamic QR Code Generation for apps?

We're working on a mobile app where we use QR codes for things like event tickets or promotions that can change over time. I've been using a simple QR code generator, but now I need to make QR codes that can update in real time. I'm not sure how to do this, and I'm looking for some advice.

But I think this feature is generally important for those who develop apps that have changing information. For example, if someone buys a ticket for an event, the QR code could be updated with the seat number or other details. Or, for promotions, the QR code could change to show the latest offer. For things like deliveries, it can work well, too...Haven't thought exactly how, but I'm sure some of you have used features like this and know more about it.

So, does anyone have experience with this? How do you set up a QR code to update automatically in a mobile app? Are there specific tools or libraries that are good for this? Also, if you know any recommendations for using a simple QR code generator in this way, that would be helpful too, although the one we've been using is very cheap, and we'd like to find something similarly-priced.

Anyway, I want to make sure the QR codes are easy to scan and work well for the users of my app, so any advice on how to do this would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Advice: Software for wealth and fund management

Hi Friends,

We have a client that deals with Wealth and Fund Management. They have a few private funds and collect capital from clients and invest them into those funds and at the end of each month, declare a profit percentage which is then allocated accordingly.

Apart from Office 365, they also run a small accounting system for internal use

They currently run everything manually of MS Excel with no automations. They have list of clients on excel and each client has their own excel statement per fund that they're enrolled into. At the end of each month, they add the transactions manually to each excel sheet (around few 100) and then convert to PDF and send the statements out.

  • I wanted to check if there were any recommendations for software that could support?

  • Will an off the shelf accounting system work for their use case

They're main pain point is solving their manual processes for now. I.e getting the profits allocated, getting statements sent every month

BTW, customers do not also have a portal etc to view statements. They receive manually via email or have to request them.

Free or very cheap ID badge/card printing software?

Hi looking for some cheap or ideally free software that can automatically import photos, possibly sync with A.D and manage ID badges/cards.

The printer is a Zebra but I don't suppose this matters as it will accept anything sent to it that is a certain size.

I'm trying to automate an IT process where for some reason the IT team are tasked with production of badges for staff.

Thanks

How to unlink my headset from a voice changer

Whenever I take naps or am away my little brother is on my computer the entire time, he'll play fortnite or whatever. He recently installed something called "HitPaw voice changer". I uninstalled it, but my headset no longer works, the mic or audio. When I go to my sound devices assuming I have to re-activate my headset, I just see these, and since I uninstalled HitPaw they dont do anything when I enable them. How can I fix it? I have tried unplugging and plugging back in the headset numerous times. Windows 10

Looking for Translation Overlay App for Windows PC/Android

Hello hello, pretty simple just looking for suggestions/information about apps for either PC or Android (or both) that basically work similarly to the android translate app camera feature. Where I can have a translation app just overlay any text on my screen with an English translation.

Just for note, the way it works on google translate android app is basically what I'm looking for, just as an overlay. In the app, hovering over some text will just cover that text with it's translation, no picture or copy and paste needed.

I plan on using this to play a game only available in Chinese, so it's not high priority or anything, just mostly curious if this idea would work.

Question about AutoHotKey

I used to have a script for GTA Online that allowed me to play key sequences to make certain action in the game a lot faster. It worked fine until a few weeks ago but suddenly stopped working without me changing anything about the script nor updating the software. Can anyone help me understand why it isn't working anymore?

Btw, I don't know much about scripts, I simply copied one I saw on Youtube and changed it to do what I want it to. So if I made some obvious mistake, it's most likely not so obvious for me.

How to make FastStone play webp files?

Some webp files that I have are videos and they don't play on FastStone, it opens as if it's a image. I didn't had this issue on IrfanView so I'm guessing I need to change some setting on FastStone to make them work properly.

Alternative to IObit?

I’m not super knowledgeable about computers and pc software so for a while I’ve been using various IObit programs on my computer. However, a friend of mine recently let me know that they are a bit of a scam.

What would you suggest as an alternative for programs like advanced system care, driver booster and smart defrag?

Thanks!

IT inventory software

Hey community, I need your swarm intelligence. I am looking for an open source solution for IT inventory. What is your recommendation for an invetarization software that can detect all devices in the network and scan their services/ports. It should be possible to store data and information. And last but not least, it would be great if everything could be displayed graphically as a network map.

I know that there are a lot of wishes but unfortunately I haven't found anything yet.

Thanks in advance!

Audio and visual software?

Hi, first timer here. I'm gathering of people soon and the idea is a night of music and music videos. My question is, I have all the songs saved as WAV files that'll be played but I want to show a music video or two in between via a HDMI connector. How can I seamlessly show the videos without showing any UI of a video player or desktop and then switch back to just a black screen with the songs playing? Is there a specific program I should look at? Thanks.
