As a CIS (Computer Information Systems) Faculty at Mesa Community College, I am of course biased. I do feel that we offer a good education at an affordable price compared to the universities. With CIS, we focus more on actually coding/making things than theory. So, you won't build compilers, but yo

Like most folks, you were testing for the wrong skills. The last job I had was Delphi-specific, and their “coding test” was very simple: Write a program that uses a TStringlist, reads in a CSV file with 7 columns, sorts it on column 3, removes column 5, and saves the result to a file name xyz.d

Well I have seen on the market a new board that uses DDR 5 memory and advanced tech on the board with multiple M.2 slots and then some. I think it have a video connector as well. I moved on from looking at it because it was to expensive for me. It was over $600 and that is without the cpu or mem

thanks for the warning. the ssd is the last possibility. I cleaned it, I replaced ram and I tried other OSes. This is the last thing before I buy a new HDD; I reinstalled w/o a home directory.

Just be aware it might be the HDD but be careful if it still does it after changing the drive that it might be a possible problem of the motherboard. On Tue, Aug 23, 2022, at 09:54, Michael via PLUG-discuss wrote: > Thanks Harold. I’m thinking it’s my hdd as well though I have an sdd. > Whammy

I have been following this thread and I once had the same problem and found out it was a hardware issue. If you are still using the regular HDD then the hardware that read and writes to the HDD is failing and needs to be replaced. I use to have some new HDD and found some to have defects on the r

Have you done a nuke and pave install or are you limping your /home along? you could have some form of corrupted config file in your home that might be causing problems. worth a thought. and a stroll through your home dir. Thanks for the update. Keep up the troubleshooting spirit! TTFN Matthew O
