Trying to enable microphone on Bixby Studio on a Mac - bixbystudio

I'm using Bixby Studio on a Mac and can't get the mic working - I am running Mojave. I can type input in the simulator and it works great, but can't do any testing using voice input. I checked in the Security & Privacy settings to give access to the mic, but there's no entry for Bixby Studio there. I don't recall it ever asking permission to use the mic - has anyone gotten this to work or know of any workarounds?
UPDATE: I ran Bixby studio on a Windows VM on my Mac and got the Microphone input working that way - seems kind of big kludge though.

Can't install BI Publisher for desktop

I'm having problems installing BI Publisher for Desktop 11.1.1.9.0 32bit(11g) on Win7 64 bit system (Office 2013). Previously I successfully installed it but there was no add-on visible in Office, so tried with 64 bit version but with no luck. After that I've uninstalled it but now it keeps giving me these errors, "INSTALL DIR get falied!" and "TBMenusSetup.msi!"
Any idea hoe to solve this?
Br
This is what I did on Windows 7 (64-bit) and Office 2013 (32-bit):
Download: Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.7.0 for 32 bit Office on Windows (244 MB) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/downloads/index.html
Run BIPublisherDesktop32.exe
If Add-In doesn't show up at this point, run step 4
Run setup.exe from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\DotNetInstallFiles\setup.exe
Done
I also check the following conditions if I have trouble with installing BIP (which I often have)
Make sure that the versions on your system are matching
(JRE,Office,BIP). That means: If you have Office in 64bit you need
JRE(64bit) and BIP(64bit).
Check if the addon is deactivated by word and activate it in case.
Use "Run as Administrator" with the BIP Installer.
Hope this helps :)
download bi publisher desktop and do a fresh install.
if you are not getting the add on then go to Microsoft office icon-->word option-->add ins-->then check in manage drop down(disabled items).If its Bi Publisher then click on that.You will get this in MS word.

Personally, until next time, not sure what worked, as above step I did earlier with no resolution.
But, I have been installing, troubleshooting BIP Desktop for few years and each time it is broken, fix do not exist and there are threads which leads to absolutely nothing. This time around, O365 was rolled out to Pilot Users and yes BIP toolbar gone. Uninstalled O365, re-installed Office 2010, repair/remove/reinstall - none worked. Ran MS Debug/ Sysinternals - Procmon/ProcessXP - found leak threads but nothing to suggest which components is missing or corrupted. Finally, I started running all msi and pre-req sw in BIP dir and DotNetInstallFiles, and it did come back the elusive toolbar, which MS Word fails to load or kept in Inactive add-ins.

Can't start Cordova debugging to iOS simulator

I've followed the instructions at the link below to "Build and simulate a Cordova iOS app in the cloud". https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build_ios_cloud/
After completing the instructions I'm able to build and get the iOS simulator working, however, I'm unable to attach a debugger.
The message displayed in remotebuild is:
GET /cordova/build/5655/debug 500 10.865 ms - 28
In Visual Studio I see the following in the Debug window:
Starting launch process C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe "(redacted)\node_modules\vs-tac\emulator.js" --platform ios --action launch --path "(redacted)\buildInfo.json" --serverUrl https://(redacted):3000/cordova --certificateName (redacted) --language en-US --loglevel info --cliVersion 5.4.1 --npmInstallDir "(redacted)" --deployTarget "iPhone 5"
Timed out connecting debugger to remote Apache Cordova app. See Output window for JavaScript console output.

My local development machine is using Visual Studio 2015 and Cordova 5.4.1. I have Node v0.12.2 installed locally and v0.12.9 installed on the MacInCloud. Following the instructions in the link above, I am NOT an admin on the Mac machine.
I've also already tried the instructions suggested in this SO answer: Visual Studio Debugger failing to connect to remote Apache Cordova app in iOS simulator
All the suggestions and the links provided by others were helpful but ultimately my assessment of the problem was not being admin/root on the Mac. The Visual Studio Cordova docs linked in my original question would suggest that you can do all that you need on a Mac without having admin/root access but in my experience that is just not the case.
To the credit of the MacInCloud group, they were very helpful in making changes that I requested to permissions and for reinstalling packages such as brew, ios-webkit-debug-proxy, remotebuild, etc... but after a while that back-and-forth kind of approach to fixing the issue proved painful. When I switched from a Managed MacInCloud server to a Dedicated one, everything worked almost immediately.
Looking back I think the initial execution of remotebuild, which executes brew -- without being admin on the box -- caused the whole process to go south. I was warned when I ran remotebuild for the first time that it would install some brew components that might need root access. That should have been a warning sign to me that not being admin on the box was going to be an issue...
Even though I was able to get a Dedicated MacInCloud server working, the lesson I learned about having control over the Mac prompted me to just buy a Mac Mini. That was a little more difficult to setup because I was now doing everything myself, but ultimately I think it will pay off in the end.
For anyone else struggling with similar issues here is a brain dump of some things I learned along the way:
You don't necessarily need to get Visual Studio talking to the Mac to debug Cordova applications. You can use Safari Web Inspector from the Mac. https://blog.nraboy.com/2015/10/debugging-your-apache-cordova-ios-app-with-safari/. Even though I finally got VS working, I actually prefer this because it is more like Chrome's debugger which I prefer to Visual Studio's.
The ios-webkit-debug-proxy NPM package mentioned in other comments and links is basically a proxy which Visual Studio uses to debug the simulator in exactly the same way Safari does as mentioned above. For this proxy to work you must also be allowed to connect to the Mac over ports 9221-9322. https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy. Prior to learning that I thought I only needed port 3000 open for the remotebuild proxy...
The package necessary for launching the iOS simulator from remotebuild is ios-sim and it will occasionally timeout when launching the simulator and cause the debugger not to attach. This is a known limitation. https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim and https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2014/11/13/tools-for-apache-cordova-update-ios-debugging-windows-8-1-support/ (see comments).
If you should feel the need to install/uninstall brew it is very easy to do. Just run the install script and if already installed it will give you instructions on how to uninstall. http://brew.sh/ and https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Troubleshooting.md#troubleshooting. To uninstall or reinstall a NPM package is equally easy and Google is your friend.
Read and re-read both of these links for setting up a Mac: https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/ios-guide/ and https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build_ios_cloud/. Getting the RemoteBuild.config right is crucial for getting secure connections to work -- especially if you want to access your Mac Mini at home from across the internet.
If you are remoting to a Mac I highly recommend iRAPP or some other VNC alternative. My experience has been that VNC is painfully slow and having a bad connection when you're troubleshooting issues just leads to more aggravation. http://www.coderebel.com/products/irapp/
As mentioned above, the MacInCloud guys were great when I asked for support, but if you do need root access for more than six months the cost of a Mac Mini is less than a Dedicated server plan.
Cheers
Since it is the call to /cordova/[...]/debug that is failing it looks like you might not have ios_webkit_debug_proxy installed. You could try making sure that homebrew is installed (from http://brew.sh) and running brew install ios-webkit-debug-proxy. Afterwards you should be able to run ios_webkit_debug_proxy without an error.
If that runs successfully then you should be able to quit out of ios_webkit_debug_proxy and debugging should work via remotebuild.

I cannot run turbo c++ as it says can't init sdl

The error message is: can't init SDL direct input device:set data format invalid parameters. I have recently tried to extract SDl to my system but could't do so
I had the same problem. I have an HP hybrid with detachable keyboard base running windows 8.1 and I wanted to start brushing up my archaic programming skills. I was able to run Turbo C4 at home, but as soon as I took my machine mobile I got the "could not init SPI" error. When I got home it worked just fine again. My home setup includes a USB keyboard and mouse.
After testing I was able to confirm that the turbo c4 dos based environment can't handle a touchpad. When I plugged in my USB mouse everything started working again. So, just get yourself a cheap USB mouse.

How to install Blackberry 10 Native(QT, C/C++) on Windows Machine

I am trying to install Blackberry 10 Native in my Windows 7 Machine, but somehow i am unable to install it properly, so please any one can guide me how can i install Blackberry 10 in my Windows 7 Machine.
I already downloaded Momentics IDE and also i have followed the instruction from this link
http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/getting_started/setting_up.html
One more thing is that i don't have Blackberry device so i have to run mt application on simulator.
Please I just want brief guidance about how to setup all environment related to run Blackberry 10 on my Windows Machine.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I am assuming Momentics installed without an issue, and simulator is the problem. You need VMware Player or some other virtual machine. You simply
Download and install VMware Player (Free for personal use)
in Momentics: where the "on:" choose "Add new target", click "Simulator", Install a new simulator and choose the version you want.
Once installed Launch simulator, go to Settings (in the simulator), Security and Privacy, Turn on development mode (you need to create password for this). I'm not 100% you need to turn on development mode on simulator but I do it anyway
Go back to Momentics (under Add new target), click Properties, enter password you used in simulator and click Connect.
Another thing that might be useful. You don't need signing keys on a simulator, but you do if you want to try on a real device. I hope you tried Momentics 2.1 beta, it's slightly better

How do I get the Emulator on the same network as my PC?

I've created some Web API methods in .NET 4 / Visual Studio 2010 (and have now ported it to VS 2013 RC).
I want to consume them from a Windows CE / Compact Framework app using RestSharp.
Regardless of how I call these methods, though, I need to know the IP Address to use for the app running the Web API methods. I can access it from a browser using "localhost" and the port number Visual Studio displays when running the View for the Web API project in the browser (works fine, returns XML in Chrome).
But: how can I call it from my Windows CE / Compact Framework app? The emulator in which I run it doesn't believe that it and localhost are really on the same machine, so I can't use that, nor the machine's actual IP address as, again, it is delusional about who/where it is.
So: what is the workaround? How can I test this?
More details about this can be seen here: RFC on HttpWebRequest vs RESTSharp from Windows CE / Compact Framework 3.5
UPDATE
Vasily, my guess was that you meant for me to do this:
...but that led to this:
Note: I get the same when I choose the other option from the dropdown asociated with the "Enable NE2000 PCMCIA network adapter and bind to:" czechbox, namely "Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection".
And trying to install http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=46859 (both the 64-bit and the 32-bit flavors) slapped me with:
So tell me, I implore: Is there balm in Gilead, so that there may be joy in Mudville tonight?
UPDATE 2
In step 6 (bullet 6), I did this:
...which got me first a message that the software didn't install correctly, with the option to retry or assert that, no, everything is really fine (I chose the latter), but then this:
...IOW, I don't make it to step/bullet point 7
Then again, this Peek cat did warn, "Note that this is very much a “works on my machine” experience. If it burns your house down, don’t hold me responsible."
My house didn't burn down (I don't think - I'm not there right now), but the process to extract the file did fail ignominiously.
You can use workstation network card by the emulator. Todo it you have to select "Use installed network card" checkbox and select the card from the list. after that you can use the workstation ip.
This was helpful for me:
Windows Virtual PC and the Microsoft Device Emulator
I've had to use it more than a couple of times.
I saved the file as a PDF to my network folder, so it took me a while to find the link.
