Age Verification on Android and iOS, Sideloading for Verified Apps Only
Google is making some changes to Android that make it more restrictive than I've previously thought of it. Age verification for apps is coming to Android, and side loading is being restricted to apps that have been "verified"…

Age Verification on Android and iOS, Sideloading for Verified Apps Only
Google is making some changes to Android that make it more restrictive than I've previously thought of it. Age verification for apps is coming to Android, and side loading is being restricted to apps that have been "verified" by Google. This is something that is coming to conform to new laws. Apple is also making some changes to conform and…

Looks that Android is going Age Verification now. And app developers are going to have a duty in it, too.

I was helping a developer perform some setup. I had her type a command to perform an action. She asked what the commands name stood for.
"I don't know. It was from before my time."
She thought I was making a joke. I looked up the origin. AT&T added the command to Unix in 1971.

Yay! I found a mini Minecraft server written in C. I'm going to convert this over to C++ and refactor it to get rid of the raw pointers. Then I may try to do something with it.

On windows, the command line tool mklink.exe is used to create symbolic links, junctions, and hard links. But what are those? I'll first mention a couple of scenarios where they may be helpful. Let's say that you have a content-driven system. You have multiple versions of your content sets on the file system. Each complete set is in its own folder.

😢 - I brought my Chevrolet EV to an EV certified Chevrolet location and they refused to address an issue I raised because they said they don't work on EVs. They said it is too tedious!

Like, what the heck! I got a Java Card and the encryption keys for it were present in the listing. In one of the keys, the digit character 3 is replaced with the Cyrillic letter З (That's not a digit!). That is next to impossible to find!

Like others, I clap at the beginning of a recording session to more easily line up the audio recording with the one from the camera. I have a specific clapping pattern, and it unintentionally let me see I had imported the wrong audio for my video. In practice, this could be useful!

Recursively Deleting Directory in Win32 (C++)
If you need to delete a directory in Windows, the function RemoveDirectory is useful if the directory is empty. If the folder is not empty, you don't need to implement recursive logic. The shell API function SHFileOperation is likely the function that you want to use. To use this function include the header <shellapi.h>. The SHFileOperation can perform various file operations, but the one we are most interested in is deletion.

It is the most popular JavaScript engine. Having modified Chromium before, (V8 is part of the Chromium source code) I thought this would be more of the same procedures that I had followed before.
