It is

I've been looking into SSDs and their behavior lately, and I'm considering writing a simple tool for some testing. For this I'd like to read some S.M.A.R.T parameters from the drive. To be more specific:

1. SMART Temperature - This is a clear indicator if the controller is busy or not ...

But... OOTC, paid software I enjoy:

Xara - graphics / DTP / web building stuff, I like it but it's a very personal thing, and it's too expensive
Argus Monitor - nice little fan controller software if your MB BIOS doesn't cooperate or you want to combine GPU / CPU temps to drive fans
Excel - it's ...

Regardless of what Microsoft wants, my employer now only provides laptops to programmers and applications support people (like myself) that have a single 256Gb SSD. No desktops allowed. (They do allow docs.) Special application is needed for anything else, and from personal experience, they often ...

Yeah, stuff like that. But I'd prefer some free tool.

I'm typically not very active in here anymore - as I'm just too busy with other stuff - but I do write my own tools whenever I need them.

Now, I wasn't planning to write anything for testing SSDs, but I just can't find something simple that helps me testing SSDs during long, extended periods of ...

Ah, completely forgot about that. Thank you!

Is there a way to tell the splitter gadget to keep a minimal size for the resized gadgets? I now end up in a situation where the related gadgets become invisible (size 0).

Thanks all! I remembered playing around with this in the past, and suddenly recalled I wrote a procedure for this ages ago :-) (Probably stole it from someone... credits to the unknown creator then :-) )

Memory, and too busy with other things than programming :-)


Procedure x_shellexecute ...

Wait... I thought I tested that... Trying again. Moment...

Hi peeps. I've been gone for quite a while (doing lots of other stuff) but I need to build a little tool right now, and I'll (obviously) do so in PureBasic. I'm looking for something (and I know I've seen it somewhere on the forum, but I can't find it back).

What's the best way to launch / open ...

Well, I found this, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sampl ... synthesis/, but my brain is still parsing the stuff there

Now I wonder, did anyone figure out a way to use the 'new' Windows 10 / 11 voices? They are pretty good compared with Amazon Polly and the old Sapi 5 voices.

I Googled a bit, but couldn't find any reference. Looks like it's MS only?

(For the difference, listen to this: https://ninelizardsblog ...

You make me doub, I do my program some time ago, but I don't remember to install any dll

Memory like a sieve Don't worry, I got it working with the other example.

Ah... Oh well, using the example in the other post then. I always try to program without any DLLs or Libs, reducing my dependencies on any such.
