Here’s an example of a pipeline sequence in PowerShell — a simple but powerful concept.
Imagine you forgot to clean up your old log files. Or, as I had to do today, you open the dreaded folder 'inetpub/mailroot/Badmail' on a dev server and see thousands of files.

Accidentally I found out, that Notepad++ allows to move multiple lines up and down without Copy-Cut / Insert? Use Ctrl + Shift + (arrow up | arrow down).

Transform text UPPERCASE or lowercase is a very common task for a developer. And when the text is not in the required case, you obviously don't want to type it one more time. Luckily, there are the developers of Visual Studio who already thought about it.

I knew that Linux is installed at my Windows Installation. And if I choose Ubuntu among the installed apps, I could use it. But not with WSL, then the error. It was the same as from command line, PowerShell. It also didn't allow me to execute any Linux utils within 'wsl -e ... '

I started to use my old laptop (2019year) for specific tasks. Usually, I plug the laptop into my 32inch display and work this way. But after 2-3 minutes of work my laptop hanged. The display was with a huge quantity of noise. But without external display it worked perfectly. There are 2 video adapters - an internal video from Intel and NVidia GeForce 1050.

Error with 'pragma_table_list' is actual not only for DBeaver, but also for any driver for SQLite. This post is about DBeaver just because I was working with it, when I met the error. The case is like this: I created an SQLIte database with Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore and then I wanted to open it in DBeaver. But I got the error that "no such table: pragma_table_list". Started to research.

For local development I often need Windows server and I use trial version. As six months came through, I need to buy or extend it. Of course, I prefer to extend 🙂

Open PowerShell as administrator and execute the command:

slmgr -rearm

To continue the trial for your Microsoft Office, you can use OSPPREARM.EXE
cd %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
OSPPREARM.EXE

In my PowerShell script, which updated the content at my Personal site, became errors. I really don’t know why it stopped working at one moment, but started to debug.

Today I will write about a very important option in VS 2022, which is called 'Enable Just My Code'. I don't really know, why is set so. In my opinion, almost all the developers update this value after installation of Visual Studio.

Recently I met a new kind of screen locker while browsing. I could see it with Chrome and Edge in Windows 11. It opens a window which looks like a Windows defender and tells you to call to a number of the support. Of course, you will just pay too much for this call and that’s all. But it’s not easy to close this window. I will write how to do it.
