ALL, I have a Windows 8.1 laptop that I recently put some updates on. Unfortunately it looks like I got some stupid &quot;Wish Application&quot; pinned to my task bar (the icon looks like an Alladin lamp). I tied to uninstall it from the Control Panel, but it doesn't list it. Does anybody know how to get rid of it? TIA!
What should I do if my Windows computer seems to be infected with a virus or malware?  What are the symptoms of an infection? What should I do after noticing an infection? What can I do to get rid of it? how to prevent from infection by malware?   This question comes up frequently, and the suggested solutions are usually the same. This community wiki is an attempt to serve as the definitive, most comprehensive answer possible. Feel free to add your contributions via edits.

Would you like to   automatically move this discussion to   chat?   prompt, so that if one of the users in the "extended discussion" has under 20 rep it doesn't appear?  I think a lot of the users this apply to will have low rep and it may take some back and forth to get good info out of them.  New suggestion: how about if a sufficiently high-rep user is clicking on the link, the low-rep user gets a field promotion sufficient to chat? Low-rep users are particularly prone to post questions to lead in this direction of needing to move to chat. Can I replace a 15 ampere circuit breaker with a 20 ampere breaker? When I plug-in a conventional heating pad or a hair dryer into any bedroom duplex, the lights dim; and/or trips the circuit breaker. The home is of new construction-- placed in service 31 Dec 2013.

How to change Function (Fn) Key behavior on wireless Logitech keyboard On my MacBook Pro I have found that several applications seem to share the value for a find.  For example, I searched 'applestackexchange' in Safari's unified address bar, then I switch to Xcode and click into a Find field.  The first word of my search in Safari then appears there.  iTerm2 and Sublime Text 2 also seem to participate in this sharing.  Running latest Mountain Lion on  a 2012 MBP. I'm used to creating Java Edition Minecraft maps, where NBT can be used to set many different block, item, and entity properties, like an item's CanPlaceOn/CanDestroy list, a chest's items, and more! To open my maps up to more players, I've started creating maps on Minecraft Bedrock Edition as well. But NBT is inaccessible from commands in BE, which I knew before, but didn't know how much of a problem I would have creating these complicated command chains. One of the things that I've always been doing is giving players items with custom item names, lores, enchantments, and other properties. But there is a problem. All this would have been done in NBT in Java Edition. In Bedrock, NBT is inaccessible from commands, meaning the commands I used in JE don't work. Are my dreams crushed? Active versus passive transformations Get list of ALL offers from Amazon Product Advertising API I am on a MacBook Pro 13 running latest Sierra. I have an external Seagate solid state hard drive that was working and out of the blue stopped working. The only thing on it was my Adobe Lightroom images/videos. Not the LR DB files. I'm sure you have all heard this woe before, so I won't dwell on that. And yes, I back up to the cloud. AWS S3 specifically. Though I am traveling South East Asia for the last year, and staying in cheap hostels. So good internet is hard to come by sometimes. I can't back it up after every export. While most of it is backed up, there is some that is not.  Moving on. The symptoms seems to change every time I plug it in. The first sign was it ejected on it's own. I plugged it in again, and it wouldn't mount. Disk Utility recognized it, so did the command line diskutil list but it wouldn't mount. I rebooted and it worked for a second. Then I could only get to it from the command line. Then trying to frantically back up to my local what was not backed up to the cloud, it all failed. Basically just a cp -R [directory] [local-directory] command.  After some more frantic unplugging and re-plugging plus some command line manual mounts, I finally got it to where the Disk Utility would be able to run first aid on it. It failed. I don't recall the error. So I put it in a freezer. After a few hours I tried again. It is not any better. It still will not mount. Now Disk Utility sees it, but with no partition. I can't even give me information about how much space is used on it.  I have also tried it from a Windows machine. It did not mount. I have tried other cables. No success. As well as tried my other USB port. I also have another working external hard drive exactly like the one giving me issues. It works on all cables and USB ports.  I do have Docker running with a Ubuntu container, I'm trying to think of a way to see if I can try to get to the USB from there. I also have a USB that I have thought about running a live Ubuntu on there to see if I can mount and retrieve the data or fix the HDD that way. But if it will not mount, I doubt these will work.  Can anyone else think of any other tricks I can try myself to see if I can repair this or at least retrieve the data without paying for a service or software? If not, those suggestions are also welcome.  Update   I made the mistake in original post that it was a Solid State Drive. This is my mistake, it is actually a spinning disk hard drive. I bought them long ago and have been traveling with them for so long I just forgot. Question is updated to reflect this. Now diskutil list does not show it at all. The Disk Utility app also does not see it. Based on suggestion from @Allen I seeked out the USB to SATA cable. I did not quite find it, as my options are extremely limited where I am at. Though a local expat on a facebook group was able to help me with a empty 2.5 casing that I was able to extract the drive from original casing and put it in his blank case. It now mounts. Though it has the "click of death" sound to it. And data is not really reachable. While I can ls the directories and Adobe Lightroom does not have the exclamation mark when it can not reach the actual external files. Right clicking on the images and clicking on "Show in Finder" or any other variation of trying to get to the files through Finder or terminal, I have no success. It usually hangs and I get the spinning wheel. Since Adobe Lightroom imports these images into directories named by date, I am going to send the drive off to a data recovery service and ask to recover just unbacked up directories i.e. dates. Next time I will make harder efforts to backup and probably get an actual SSD.   I think this can be closed, due to my low reputation points I can not close this myself. Maximizing expected value of coin reveal game I was asked this question today in an interview and am still not sure of the answer. The question is as follows.   Part one:  Say I have flipped 100 coins already and they are hidden to you. Now I reveal these coins one by one and you are to guess if it is heads or tails before I reveal the coin. If you get it correct, you get $\$1$. If you get it incorrect, you get $\$0$. I will allow you to ask me one yes or no question about the sequence for free. What will it be to maximize your profit?  My approach for this part of the problem was to ask if there were more heads than tails. If they say yes, I will just guess all heads otherwise I just guess all tails. I know the expected value for this should be greater than 50 but is it possible to calculate the exact value for this? If so, how would you do it?   Part two: Same scenario as before but now I will charge for a question. I will allow you to ask me any amount of yes or no questions as I go through this process for $\$1$. What is your strategy to maximize your profit?  I was not sure about the answer to this part of the question. Would the best option be to guess randomly? I think the expected value of this should be 50. I am not sure about the expected value of part one but if it is greater than 51, I think I could also use that approach. Anyone have a good idea for this part? How widely accepted are Euros in Hungary and how bad is the exchange rate practiced by shops/hotels? The official currency of Hungary is the Forint but so far everything I have looked for prices online, such as trains, buses and taxis, are quoted in Euros and Forints. Hotel reservation asked that I pay in Euros at the hotel. Considering that I will only spend a few days in Budapest, are Forints necessary? Or can I pay for transport, admissions and food in Euros? In such a case, how is the conversion rate set? Near-universally applicable alternative to "sanity check" The phrase "sanity check" is  as it implies that there is something wrong with people who have mental illnesses and the word "sanity" has been used to discriminate against such people.  Therefore, it should should be avoided.  What is a better alternative in the context of software?  Example usage:     _: if this is not what it should be, we have memory corruption (a fatal   error) and should terminate the program. Rules and guidelines for drawing good schematics There are a lot of poorly drawn schematics here. A few times people have actually asked for critiques of their schematics.

I need to build a 10 kWh lithium-ion pack, anywhere from 70 V to 200 V.  This is to drive a motor.  Power output will not exceed 15 kW.  The cells will be Panasonic NCR 'B' at 3.4 Ah 18650.  I would like to minimize space and weight and cost. :D  Level of safety would be standard for a hobby application.  Charging will be done in a safe area using two levels of overcharge and overcurrent protection.  Charging is from house current, 110V, and multiple chargers may be employed to double or triple the charge rate.   What is the best configuration for cells?  I would prefer if the pack is broken down into units of 1 to 2 kWh each.  Each unit may be charged separately. In addition to a balancing-protection board and a CCCV charger, what other protection or safety mechanisms are recommended, short of a smart BMS system? I have looked at a cheap Chinese balancing board that offers protection (thermal, overcharge, undercharge, overcurrent, short).  A 20S board will offer up to 84 V and adequate current for the application, for a 1.5 kWh unit.  At 1/3C, I would need a 83 V 6 A CCCV charger.  How do I get one of these? Off-topic question:  Can a balancing-protection board be used for a configuration with a lesser number of cells? Such as using a 10S board to control an 8S configuration.  Or does this depend on the board? Agreement With Compound Subjects Joined by And Can a willing lycanthrope be True Polymorphed?

How do I use a C# keyword as a property name? Using asp.net MVC I'd like to do this inside a view:  &lt;%= Html.TextBox("textbox1", null, new { class="class1" }) %&gt;   This statement does not compile because class is keyword in C#. I'd like to know how I can escape the property names such that this compiles.  It is possible to get this to compile if I change the "class" property to "Class" (uppercase C). But this is not suitable because strict xhtml says that all attributes (and element) names must be lowercase. Can't use Shortcut key on linux mint 19 XFCE Consider this question on .  I put out a 200 bounty on the question, but did not get an answer from anyone other than myself that worked.    In fact, my answer is also the highest up-voted on it at this point.  I know that allowing OP's to retract a bounty can be a slippery slope; in fact I think that once the bounty is put up it should stay up.  But why not allow the OP to answer their own questions with a bounty and reward it to them if they receive the same up-votes as others?  Yes, I am fully aware that bounties are a risk.  People will use them for numerous reasons such as trying to draw extra attention to their issues.  However, in my specific question, the only valid answer is the one that I gave.  Had it been anyone else's question, I would have received the bounty, but since it was my own I did not. How to create and design hoops net and attach ot to a hoop?
