Yeah, I'll suggest that, internally.

Yepp, that's the status quo. Spammers are getting really creative and until we (well, mostly @Daniel) can't find a practical solution, registration will stay closed. Sorry about that.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that is not how this forum works. If every question would be resolved via PM, anyone looking for an answer to the same questions would get to find nothing here... and have no motivation to share his knowledge in this forum.

Considering the simple fact that a VPN access point would be exposed to the entire Internet with its sh*tload of malevolent entities out there just waiting to pounce on just another self made "secure" server I would not touch this project with a ten foot pole and oven mits...and a hazmat suit. Just introduce your pal to WireGuard and be done with it.

The forum search requires single words to be at least 4 letters. Sorry, there is not much to do about it. You can try searching less broad by using more than one keyword i.e. "IDE freeze"

This is a highly specialized subject and neither my job nor my personal interests got me all to involved in this area of computer science. So as a layman, if I understand this correctly, he'll have to go back to the drawing board, as soon as he discovers characters are now UTF8, UTF16 or even UTF32, because his finely tuned algorithm is designed for single byte characters. Or is it as easy as switching data types?

Oh, darn. I'm just lucky nobody depends on my numbers then...

And for this reason floating point numbers should not be checked for equality without an 𝛆. So in (our) Delphi world: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Floating-Point_Comparison_Routines

That is actually not as horrible as you might think. In fact the exact opposite, once you work with more than two folks on a project AND need to save time on discussions about who changed what and why. On a side note: ISO 9001 is a joke, try ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 for a less fun time.

Perhaps @Daniel has a solution?

Quoting is indeed rather tedious. But a workaround for this might be the possibility to write an answer and select blocks from the original post and then click quote selection. Works pretty good, and will give you the result you wanted, without all the Copypasta.

Well, this thread is from 2020, but it still might give you some pointers:

And that is what the WSUS is for.

Is there no "DesignConnection" property? I recall using DOA components from AllroundAutomation 20 years ago that had this nifty feature.

At least you don't have to throw out a 6k$ scanner/printer because it can only scan to folders via SMB1. And it is not just someone that deems SMB1 insecure, it is the majority of users.

To be fair, Microsoft has declared SMBV1 deprecated as early as 2014 And recent installations of Wins 10 and 11 have SMBV1 deactivated by default. Finally killing it now altogether seems logic and overdue. And if you ask Ned Pyle (Microsofts guy in charge of this) you should have gotten rid of it years ago: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/troubleshoot/smbv1-not-installed-by-default-in-windows

So...I'm guessing the person you are looking for needs to speak french?

Or Jira and Zephyr Scale.

@Rollo62Consider the amount of data processed at CERN according to https://home.web.cern.ch/science/computing they process more than 30PB a year. Another example may come from Astrophysics' EHT with enormous data https://eventhorizontelescope.org/technology gathered simultaneously all over the world and then correlated in Bonn and at MIT. Off the top of my head just two examples with really high volume data. I learned not to question the why...the who might be interesting though, if the OP may reveal it. In the end 300 Billion Bits are a mere 37,5 Gigabytes, BTW.

Just out of curiosity: What kind of software are you developing and what kind of customers do you have, that causes them to check if your software runs on a more or less early beta of iOS? Most customers I know of, don't care about the installed iOS version and aren't even aware of impending new ones.

Considering most of the installers known to me don't care about this particular issue, I would weigh cost against benefit and end up letting it go. But then again, I'm not nearly as ambitious as I used to be 10 years ago.

It does support POSIX and macOS, so perhaps iOS as well. I am afraid Android is not officially supported though. So perhaps for mobile devices you could go Indy.

Well, usually a new iOS version strangely precedes a new Delphi release. I would not count on anything other than the beta of said release to maybe fix that issue beforehand.

On the other hand, it is a rather low level component and implementing asynchronous communication involves a lot of ground work. May I suggest moving on to the more powerful components like the Indy or the ICS components. And from the sound of it I think you might want to go with the ICS.

Hi 😉 So over here I found one thread concerning System.Net.Socket. Sadly there is no use of AsyncCallback in there: But it looks pretty straight forward to me: implement either callback event handler or method and use that as a parameter for BeginReceive. What is your code so far, and where do you get errors/are you stuck?
