That problem of yours was already asked/answered in this group in the
last 2 days.

<a href="javascrip t:history.back( )">Back</a>

You need to find a new course.

But, when you opened that page, was there anything in the history to go
back to? Meaning, if you open that page first, there is nowhere to go
"back" to so no, it won't work. And you can *not* make it work reliably
in a default security environment on the web.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
