Unable to register as developer: Not receiving confirmation code - confirmation

I'm trying to register as a developer but I'm not receiving confirmation code to my cell phone.
I entered my country code + my phone number in the right form but still, I tried "resend" option couple of times, several phone numbers and still all my tries failed.
Can it be I'm blocked or there is a temporary failure at Facebook?

For anyone finding this via google, try this:
Not receiving your Facebook confirmation code?
Text "F" (without quotes) to 32665 and you should instantly receive the code
Hope this helps cut down on some implementation headaches people may be having.
Enter that into the corresponding area under settings on Facebook and boom it all works! (Dont forget to instantly deactivate SMS alerts otherwise you’ll be pestered every time a ‘friend’ mentions what they had for tea, plus you’ll be charged for it too)

Colab audio alarm or pop up notification to remind the user to click captcha button when popped up, prevent inactivity

From March 2021 google colab has added a captcha that randomly pops up after some time. So it is difficult or not possible to programmatically prevent Google Colab from disconnecting on a timeout. So there's no option other than opening the tab and clicking the captcha button. I often run model which take more training time and sometimes miss going back to it in 90 mins. The captcha can be popped up even while the training is not completed and soon terminates after a few minutes if not clicked.
Are there any solutions so that I can at least get an audio notification when I get a captcha in colab or if not pop-up message in browser or OS so that I can know about the inactivity?
I had found some ways get notified at some target lines in the notebook, say after training is completed. One is the colab browser notification feature, can be checked to true in settings. Other one is an audio solution, you just add these 2 lines of code found here to get an alarm when the code executes at any line in a cell.
What I am looking for is an alarm or pop up message in case of captcha.
This is probably a half-correct answer, but here's my shot at solving this
This article discusses how to bypass Captcha's, and has some code that clicks the check box if a captcha is found. I think it could be modified to have a sound alert instead.
However, Captchas were made to counter these sort of tools, plus I'm not sure about the legality implications etc, so I wouldn't recommend it.
The use of the below js increased the time before google sent a recaptcha for me. Btw, I set this as a bookmark, to call it whenever I need to. Executing the js bit in the console should be equivalent.
javascript:void(setInterval(function(){ console.log("Connect pushed"); document.querySelector("#top-toolbar > colab-connect-button").shadowRoot.querySelector("#connect").click(); },60000))

Why does my "sip:" URI open a new email instead of opening a Skype for Business chat window?

I'm trying to create a link on a web page that will open a new Skype for Business chat window, allowing a user to send me a message. I created a link with the format href="sip:myname#example.com", as per this Stack Overflow post. However, when I click the link, instead of opening a chat window, it opens an email! How can I correct this behavior?
After a bit of confusion, we realized this is actually the expected behavior if you click a sip: link containing your own Skype for Business ID. Since you can't start a chat with yourself, the link instead launches a window to compose an email. However, if you replace the ID with that of someone else (or have someone else click it), you will see the expected behavior!
This may seem obvious, but it wasted a fair bit of our time this morning, so hopefully it helps someone else.

Notes 9 crashes while editing external email

We have a customized mail template where we can set values of a parameter in mail preference.
After getting upgraded to Notes 9, when the parameter is set to Automatic it's working fine, but when another value is selected below thing happens (It was working fine in previous versions of Notes..):
After opening any external email, after double clicking on the mail body to edit.. notes is getting crashed.
I have two questions :
I see for external emails the control is going from querymodechange to queryclose while editing. Does it always happen?
I debugged the whole thing. Surprisingly it works in debug mode..no notes crash!!
Any help would be much appreciated !!!
This is why customizing the mail template is rarely recommended. There are interactions and dependencies between the code in the template and the Notes client, and it's very hard to debug. Since you haven't shown any of your customized code, I don't think anybody is going to be able to help you. I would recommend removing your customization code one piece at a time until it no longer crashes. Then you'll have an idea of what's triggering it, and you can try a different approach.
When Notes crashes, it dumps some diagnostics in the data/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory, notably the file console.log
You could review it and post here the lines pertaining to the crash.
Also, what was the previous version of Notes ?
To target the offending code line, you can use that old, dirty and tedious trick : add the folling line at the top of the QueryClose event, and move it down until you no longer see the result. Then post the context.
print now & "so far so good"

SendKeys VB.net

Hi ive developed a application that works with my site by using
SendKeys.send("{ENTER}") to submit info on one of my forms.
Is there a way to stop it from running outside the application?
For example im trying to run the program in the background and when im browsing my facebook or on google it randomly keeps hitting enter.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks for your time.
The short answer is to look at the windows available for a process and check the titles to see if it's the page you want.
If System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("firefox").MainWindowTitle = 'My Page Title'
...
End If
That said, there are much better ways to do this - If you're using firefox, look into GreaseMonkey, if in Chrome, look at TamperMonkey.
Both allow you to inject custom javascript into any page whose url matches a pattern you choose. In effect, you could write some Javascript to submit a form (say) 30 seconds after page load.
This would have the benefit of working if a different tab is selected as well as not requiring a whole application.
The SendKeys.Send method will indiscriminately send the key stroke to the active application. There is no way to use this API to target a specific application.
You could change your app to try and verify the active application is the one you want to send keys too. This is destined to be a flaky process though. No matter how good your verification is it's always possible that the active app is switched to another app after your verification completes.
If VerifyActiveAppIsTarget() Then
SendKeys.Send("{Enter}") ' Active app could change before this runs
I would persue a different solution for sending data between my apps

Will iRate automatically stop soliciting reviews after the user accepted?

I am about to post my first app with irate, and I was wondering out of curiosity will it stop the pop up message by itself if the user rates it or is there some kind of special code that I need to put. Please answer only if you dealt with iRate for iPhone apps.
https://github.com/nicklockwood/iRate
iRate pop up is only displayed once. If you will press the "Remind me later" button, it will appear again, but otherwise the user won't see it a second time.
I have used iRate and this how it works.
If user rates a version then the Rate the App message will not be shown for that particular version. Suppose a new update comes, then the Rate message will start showing again.
