Yes, seems OK, now have to test the rig on it. 🙂
Oh, and beneath the molded pulp packaging was, yes, the instructions for installation. Their download url for it is a tiny image which takes a while to load in the browser, no doubt small enough to obscure the doc id (990-1603V) and date of publication (10/2005) on the top left. Directly under that…[Read more]

In searching through Dostips (mentioned previous page) came across this post:

DOS is an old operating system. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM. What you mean is batch is old but in reality as far as scripting languages and shells go it is not even as old as CSH or TCSH or Korn for that matter.

He forgot to mention Thompson on primordial Unix back in ’71.…[Read more]

Fortunately, we still have Ars Technica.

Been a while so I had to reacquaint myself with how Windows works…

Looks like that’s a limitation in Windows. The Windows tools only have the ability to create a 32 GB volume but the OS has no problem recognizing and working with it up to its maximum size of 16 TB. In order to go above 32 GB, you’ll need to use a different tool or file system.…[Read more]

In Windows the only option provided is FAT32, could try an NFTS formatted flash for Recovery, could it be their program would actually query the file system?
No recovery required yet, as everything is fine now, as the deck chairs on the Titanic are all aligned and looking very comfortable. 🙂

Just succumbed the urge to oscillate from the thread…[Read more]

Awesome! On farms, they’re using flying bots equipped with lasers to blast weeds. Or at least they’re in development.

Here are the old ones if you want to catch up! Lots of interesting stuff on Textfiles!

The Register is fun. They put a slightly humorous spin on their stories. It definitely keeps things interesting 😛

Did some poking around and…[Read more]

While Lorcana doesn’t have an official database, there’s a pretty good fan site that helps to fill in the blanks: https://dreamborn.ink/

Finally got around to watching the Lawnmower Man (director’s cut) yesterday. Highly recommended even if the reviews have it at 37%. 🙂

Saw this one yesterday. It was fun but the plot made zero sense. They kept forgetting various things that made it nonsensical, such as when the heroines top got cut by a scythe at a warehouse leaving her topless. They just left it at that without a change of clothes and a few dead bodies. We’re supposed to assume she made it back in that state…[Read more]

Giant robots fighting fires even? First thing that comes up is the Dragon Firefighter which has seen some improvements:

Simon is funny, wonderful if he could pop up in a feed – never checked out theRegister before, cool stuff, doesn’t look as if they have a newsletter at this time.
A feeble attempt in…[Read more]

Tried out Lorcana yesterday and it’s pretty fun. The game is pretty chill and is pretty straightforward, unlike modern YGO. As far as gameplay goes, it’s similar to a boardgame but without the board aspect. I’ll probably try it for a bit and see how it goes 🙂

What filesystem did you format it as? It may have been a filesystem limitation.

Weird that original run didn’t properly set up the system files. Of course, I’ve never tried to set up a Windows recovery drive (I’ve always just used the installation media). Are things well on the way to recovery now, then?

As USB sticks are quite cheap these days, purchased 64gb one from the local office suppliers. All well and good until it came to make it a recovery drive. The recovery program spat the dummy not recognizing the format. Windows did report 64gb as per volume info on the drive, so went ahead and formatted it through explorer – funny that it would…[Read more]

Here’s an interesting blurb on wormholes: https://futurism.com/the-byte/small-wormholes-fabric-space-time

Got more articles buried in my list somewhere. Wormhole research has really been getting popular over the last several months!

Yay! New story! Always did love the series! 😀 Been reading it for twenty years:P

My base in NMS is coming along rather nicely. Got a roamer bay assembled so that will help with exploring the planet I’m on and I may toss a few more bases on it later. Not sure as it’s nothing special, just the first base the game had me make to get used to base building. 🙂

Still want to build a base on that desert planet but I’ll get there! I…[Read more]

Saw After Hours yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Not a whole lot of plot but that’s okay!

Thanks. Took a closer look at the reviews and they’re pretty consistent with regards to the upper lip area. Sounds like the spacing of the rotaries is too much to properly cover the area. Back to the drawing board!

Yeah, I’ve always had battery anxiety. Really wish we’d go back to batteries that were easily replaceable by the consumer. 🙁

Ugh.…[Read more]

Looks very nice. Never had any luck over here with e-shavers and batteries, mainly because everything then was Ni-Cad. Which explains the preference for power straight to the sockets – (and hence the rickety connections 😛 ). So good idea to check on the efficacy and user experience of any battery powered units.
We’re in for some dry and warmer…[Read more]
