If you need to set an environment to be a specific one such as staging you can override the environment by changing the config value app_env config(['app.env' => 'staging']); Then doing a dd on config(‘app.env’) will retu that environment you’ve just set. I haven’t found a way to set environments with app()->environment() so instead, I recommend using this in_array function and passing in the config(‘app.env’) and then specifically defining the environments. in_array(config('app.env'), ['local', 'staging']) For example, say you have this in a command: if (! in_array(config('app.env'), ['local', 'staging'])) { $this->error(‘Will only run on local and staging environments’); retu true; } Test ...

Is there any way to change such colors in Windows 8.1? Notice that I am not talking about merely doing this and I also am not talking about patching the Windows to use customized 3rd party themes. I talking about a way for users to customize the colors of the windows in Windows 8.1 (trough registry, trough hidden opt...

I am able to download videos one by one on a certain website that hosts some hundred or so videos. I am a paid subscriber to the website so I'm not doing anything illegal. (and no, it's not po).

Is there anything out there that will do this all automatically for the entire website for me? Each iteration takes about 5 minutes, and ...

I'm trying to create a Powershell script that watches a folder for new MP3 files and converts them to M4A format using FFMPEG and FDK AAC encoder. Since fdkaac.exe won't take MP3 files as input, I use this command, which pipes from ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i $path -f caf - | fdkaac -p5 -b64 - -o $outfolder$outname.m4a This works just fine if I enter it into a command prompt and the resulting M4A file that's generated has no problems. However if I run this from Powershell, the M4A file is created but contains nothing but unpleasant white noise (and very faint traces of music). An ideas why that is so? Here's the Powershell script if it helps: ### SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YES/N...
