Why Windows failed to display Microsoft and Xbox sign-in dialogs

For about a year, I couldn’t use any Windows 10 apps or Xbox games that required me to sign in with a Microsoft Account. I also couldn’t add any email or other online accounts to my Windows account. For whatever reason, all the Microsoft Accounts Control and Windows Web Account Provider dialog windows refused to open. Whenever I clicked a button that was supposed to open these dialogs, I might see a brief white flash that hinted at the brief appearance of a dialog window. Most of the time, absolutely nothing happened. Deep-rooted problems with Windows are incredibly difficult to troubleshoot. When developing its software, Microsoft always assumes everything will work flawlessly all the time. Apps and system services rarely generate log files, report errors to the Events system, or even record diagnostics data about the problem. The Diagnostics Viewer reported to Microsoft that I’d opened the desired dialog for less than a millisecond ...

The HTML video element needs to go back on the drawing board

We’ve had the HTML <video> element for over a decade. Yet, everyone still defaults to embedding YouTube frames instead of hosting their own videos. The underlying problem is that the <video> element isn’t suitable for embedding short video files on webpages. Sure, the <video> element works great for large streaming platforms and tube sites. However, video is nowhere near as simple to use as other adaptive embedded media, such as responsive images. You need half an hour of learning to get started with responsive images. All you need for responsive images is to include a specially formatted list of an image in different sizes and file formats in your HTML document. The web browser uses the list to pick a format it supports at the right dimensions for the visitor’s device. Here’s a slightly simplified example: < picture > < source type = "image/avif" ...

How to enable file versioning on Windows

Windows comes with many great built-in tools that, unfortunately, are hard to discover and even harder to use. One of these is its built-in file versioning tool called File History. Once set up, it can keep copies of old versions of all your files and documents. It can be incredibly useful to restore a previous version of a file or a folder after you’ve made an accidental change or deletion. “But I don’t use any files and folders on my PC!” Everything on your PC is stored in files in folders. You might not work with documents and spreadsheets, but file versioning is just as useful for your game-save files, source code, and photos. It can also be used with your application data to, for example, restore a deleted browser bookmark or email message. File History is also the closest Windows comes to protecting your files against data degradation (also known as “bit rot”). It’s satisfying to restore an earlier version of a file after it’s u...

How to auto-lock your computer on a schedule (e.g. at bedtime)

I'm terrible at maintaining a consistent bedtime and often stay up on the computer late into the night. Admittedly, this is usually the time when I’m the most productive. I get so into things that I lose track of time. However, this bad habit makes it hard to get enough hours of sleep; something that’s not too good for the human body. Here's how to get your computer to lock the screen at bedtime and help any of you developer-types maintain a more consistent bedtime. iOS and Android have had some sort of “digital well-being” and time-management for about two years. These features are — among other things — designed to help you wind down at night and help you manage time and get enough sleep. It’s not a magic solution but its something that can be helpful. However, computers are lagging behind the trend and don’t offer the right tools. I wanted my computer to kick me out of my...

Shell vs Environment vs Persistent Variables

Variables   One of the first things that we need to cover is how to deal with variables. They were briefly talked about in the other chapters, but they will be cover in slightly more depth here. The variable functionality provides a way for the script to get input, store data temporarily, and display output to the user or sending data to a calling script. There are two categories that variables can be divided into:   Environment Variables: are maintained by the system, they are inherited by the current and any child shells or processes that are spawned.   Shell Variables: are contained exclusively within the shell in which they were set or defined. They are mostly used to keep track of temporal data, like the current working directory in a session.   Shell Variables   There are generally two types of shell variables. Those that are maintained by the system, and the others that are user defined for scripts or passing information into other commands, s...

Setting up your virtual lab | Virtual box and OS Installing

One of the best ways to learn and test is to do so in a virtual environment. The overall benefits to this is low cost, reduced hardware requirements, and rapid recovery should we render one of our test machines into a nonresponsive state. A virtual lab can be created on just about anything, but personally I would recommend at least the following: Intel i5 (better or equivalent), minimum of 8 GB of ram (The higher the better), and a minimum drive size of 80 GB or larger (again the larger the better).   There are a number of applications that can be used for virtualization such a VMWare, VirtualBox, and Xen. For the purpose of this book we will be looking at setting up VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a free program from Oracle. It's capable of running on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris. Virtualbox is easy to use and updated often. The first thing that we will need to do is download the VirtualBox client onto the machine that we want to turn into our virtual machine. http...
