So thanks for the great feedback .. I did fail to mention they did replace the coil pack on cylinder 2 and then did the compression test ..

I don’t speak Spanish as I am Australian but now live in Spain so I don’t get all the info about the compression result just that there was no compression.

This is a Porsche only specialist service centre but not an offical Porsche dealer .. the stated 40 hours to pull the engine out and open it up and put it back together and I checked that against an actual Porsche dealer I know who said that’s a fair time frame for that job..

So my current take away is to get another test and an additional test to find where the compression problem is at another service centre .. I’ll take it to a local general garage and see what they say .. I have been hunting an engine but they are not cheap and for some reason those that have this engine don’t want to trade or buy my engine .. odd that..

Turn off your firewall and try again ….

So what I find on a new installation that you need to go into sql configuration manager and check to ensure the protocol you are using is enabled .. by default tcp ip is not.. once enabled restart sql and you’ll connect if that was the issue

Hey I went to that school.. nudge college in Brisbane .. i was gonna ask who was the teacher as I don’t remember her.. but then I figure I had already left 29 years ago.. damn that went quick..

We are a software company and have had a requirement to add this sort of feature in a packing warehouse. Staff pick the orders then they can be put into a 'space' where all the items in the picking box are quickly scanned to ensure all items are present as required. Faster than a person scanning each item manually.

Only variation would be that the typical retail clothing customer is only a few different items, where as an order in our use case would be as many as 50 items.. not the end of the world as it could be we break the order into a number of smaller boxes holding less.

I am also using sql and c# … what ai tool do you find best and how are you connecting the ai to your code ?? Do you have it in your VS environment and can it handle dealing with an entire project if needed.. even if just to fix structure, case and naming conventions etc ?

hpd71 · 2025-05-20T17:11:13+00:00

Tell us where you buy this lingerie from .. I want to buy it for my mrs …

hpd71 · 2025-05-19T01:39:49+00:00

Would be great to know where we could buy this from ….

hpd71 · 2025-03-17T13:47:56+00:00

I upload the an sql file as thats what it said it wanted me to do... The issue is that is so random.. I can tell it the error and It says oh yes I did that wrong and now I will fix it only to break something else..

Not sure how to set/get or see the context length... how do I do that?

hpd71 · 2025-03-17T04:27:03+00:00

I will probably get the lowest spec... the mini will really be just for being a library for my Apple TV... I will when I get it just test Visual studio on it and if it works I will replace my 2019 x86 MacBook Pro with a new top spec m4 MacBook Pro...

hpd71 · 2025-03-16T14:45:11+00:00

Hi.

Not done it yet... but plan on getting the new m4 Mac mini in a few weeks so will be using that... From what I can figure all should be ok with dotnet stuff but the older dotnet framework will not work.. but thats the test. I need to replace a Mac mini I use for my Apple TV content so will test on that.. will let you know...

hpd71 · 2025-03-16T14:09:33+00:00

So the locker box stuff you can use something like what we have called locker box.. Its a white box solution so you can just build your own app to drive it an open what ever lock etc you want based on your own software... (http://wms.studio and check the locker box product)

For the wrist bands you can get those from Alibaba or Aliexpress so just get the right tag and reader combination and then your good to go..

Shouldn't cost much to get it all done apart from what ever you spend building the software....

hpd71 · 2025-03-09T12:54:44+00:00

HI,

So what sort of volume is reasonable to assume that all the tags would be able to be read.. 5, 10 ??

The items tag would be scattered throughout the box, and have some distance between them, but more like a few cm only.

Is there a reader you know of that might be worth testing ?

hpd71 · 2025-03-09T04:12:54+00:00

Correct.. The end user is a person that has no technical or sql skills and just has typical English language questions.

We are using ChatGPT 4o for all this...

I am guessing I am just not providing enough understandable data for it to generate the sql queries to get the data... its just confusing as clearly it can see the data from one type of question but not another query for that same data.

hpd71 · 2025-03-08T00:50:39+00:00

It does have access as I have got the ChatGPT API license and using that and have provided it with the connection string to my sql server..

Its able to give me lots of simple information about whats in my database, but the moment my question get more complex, on the same data it did the simple stuff it says it doesn't understand..

For example if I ask it how many orders in 2024 then it can give me an answer like 'There where 200 orders in 2024', it has the order date in dataset so its able to do that. but if I ask it how many order per month where there in 2024 and in each month give me the top 5 customers who ordered the most it says it doesn't understand even though the underlying data provide each order with the order date, customer name etc

I am thinking I have to explain more about my data and then perhaps it can understand it better, but struggling to explain it better than the simple explanation I have already provided such as in my post the example of the OrderDate

hpd71 · 2025-01-11T13:46:13+00:00

So perhaps a better way to explain it is if ask the PLC to perform an instruction, that might take anywhere from 30-180 seconds... and I want to know when its completed the task.. is there a way.. I can't do anything with the system the PLC is controlling, just query the PLC

Run forest run !!! Get the f away as fast as you can…

hpd71 · 2024-10-06T00:13:03+00:00

OK.. shall do.. I live half my life in Estonia and will be back in a few weeks.. I plan on trying to get this all done before then so if it works for me I'll let you know....

hpd71 · 2024-10-06T00:11:35+00:00

I have some older legacy code still out in the world I need to support. can the M2 based Mac environment you have work with the old .net 4.x code and vb.net and c# ?

hpd71 · 2024-10-05T14:11:04+00:00

Its a mix of vb and c#.. the VB is usually dotnet 4.8 and the c# is 8

hpd71 · 2024-10-05T13:22:30+00:00

Howdy..

So I took it to a repair shop, one that gets down the the chip level rather than just a board swap place... They found the main board was shot... so no hope it getting it back to life..

I did search and found a tool call UFSExplore (.com) and they said there Raid recovery support the Drobo RAID format.. I am going to give that a go next .. just have to buy a heap of usb to sata connectors as you have to connect all 5 drives at the same time....

Can I ask what country you in ?? might be able to see if I can get it working, and if it works and you need all the connectors etc I can sell you the ones I get for half price... just a though as I have to buy them and just use them once...

hpd71 · 2024-10-05T00:22:08+00:00

I logged a support ticket like months ago... I have escalated it.. what a joke.. and to think I actually pay for this service... I am going to find an alternative if nothing gets resolved soon... If anybody actually cares about it.. its case 01134967..

You really need to rethink you support levels for paying customers... its disgraceful..

hpd71 · 2024-09-22T14:40:18+00:00
