not if you are just editing it, if you execute it and it has malicious code, then your pc will be "infected"

someone use some bonemeal

just purely files like all my programs and yea.... 

i would recommend not backing up programs installations but rather any settings for them, as there are alot of programs that don't take kindly to being manually moved/manipulated and will just break. Its typically easier to just reinstall the program and place the settings back .

For quick and easy backups of files that arent too important you can use a cloud storage service like mega/dropbox and use their sync apps or upload manually, and for the rest of the files you can store locally on usbs/EHDDs.

If you want automated backups of something important, rather than using a program, its typically easier to setup a scheduled task to just copy the files over along with a date using batch or similar, there are plenty of tutorials on that and i can help you if needed

this is helpful and easy to understand; a well organized guide!

people who do that are scum

it looks so professional, the layout is clean af

with a disturbed circadian rhythm.... other than that, it's been relaxing

I recently discovered i made an account here and never used it, but i think now is the best time to do so after lurking a couple days and seeing the community along with the rise of coronavirus locking me inside, taking the first step into improving myself.

I aim to use this community as a way to improve my skills primarily in the programming of more complex tools to help myself and others such as checkers and secondarily to make connections within the community for bigger projects in the future.

I've not accomplished much so far, however i am proud of the small things i have accomplished such as a couple SE successes with fitbit, amazon etc and the creation of small applications revolving around selenium for testing purpsoses alongside learning languages such as C#, python and small amounts of C++, and wish to accomplish more during my stay on these forums.

My plans for the future are to improve my programming skills to a monetizable level and to provide back to the community with the knowledge i gain.

If anyone has tips/tricks to share with me regarding programming tools such as checkers etc, i'll greatly appriciate the help.

Thanks for reading my introduction, i hope i can be a HQ member in the future ^^
