    Date A Live banned in China? Did they even get to see any of the trailers? This one is for Ren Dystopia:

    Series 6 will be the last? Funny, the following trailer for series 4 is banned in the US and Japan, not in China?

    Now streaming Sherlock & Daughter, an…[Read more]

    The keyboard lights with OpenRGB is a known issue with XBOX MSC, so we can writhe alive to the tune of that. ๐Ÿ™‚
    The Windows idea of the HID LampArray standard came early 2024 – must have either tried it either without success or missed it altogether. Good news it works with the G213 keyboard as well as with MSC, thus the ball is in the court of…[Read more]

    That last link takes all of 30 seconds to load over here – it’s huge!
    With stdafx it boils down to saving time and grunt with pre-compiled headers using either that or pch.h?
    Yes, ensure the includes are working first, otherwise extend the sojourn in MWEdit no man’s land. ๐Ÿ™‚

    A healthy looking database, as it seemed last night, today got a 504 Gateway Time-out for both links. Makes sense for the search, not for the subject – home page is fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

    The Type passed through doesn’t make much sense either, think he wanted something like make-unique, it came just a few years too late!
    Sounds good. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Skyscraper is an 21C update on Towering Inferno, never a dull moment means there’s enough to keep one awake until the end!
    FTA are offering all 8 seasons of Homeland, quit after the third, not bad, especially when unadulterated (with a dash of adulteration) spy soaps is your thing.

  • Definitely getting a welcoming Linux vibe, the main drawback as a Microsoft Solitaire Collection junkie, how so for this little red rooster to go cold turkey?
    Is there light at the end of the tunnel even after Microsoft Solitaire Turns Off Keyboard Lights, a new feature which could even be related to another thing.

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Veg in the forum Discussion 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    The border protection folks have done a pretty good job of keeping citrus greening out of the country, so don’t think it was the cause as there was no discolouration in the last fine crop of oranges. Can never be absolutely sure though. ๐Ÿ™
    Beauty berries are … beautiful, and our feral deer would certainly go party on them. Unusual as a deciduous…[Read more]

  • No doubt Linux would be better, provide it won’t get barfed by clumsy keyboard-fu this way. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Ah, the fans are now managed entirely by Pop!_OS in the then Linux partition – perfect when there is no automatic bricking. ) Get it now, my own particular folly is a penchant for skimming over poorly documented…[Read more]

  • Time has moved on, and even though the Ryzen still hasn’t got a sound card, it’s on the list. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Windows has been pretty good, overall, the major updates keep most of the user settings from the previous now, however there were some oddities intorduced:

    Some of those issues in the OP are due to the Service Host (svchost.exe) chowing through the…[Read more]

  • Sigh, same issue again as in the OP, so responded to the thread again.
    Also, Thermaltake pulled Outervision’s Supply Calculator licence, thus we’re off to a new Wizard with ScareGPU, Tin RAM, and the Cowardly Drive for an OEM recalc. ๐Ÿ˜›

    How did the choc fudge cake go?

    That’s a rollicking good old fashioned icing set, and oh, a picture is just what’s required to titillate the tastebuds for sure!

    Obtained a packet of donut peaches or Ondines being a popular store brand over here. Not quite as tasty a regular peaches, but a good…[Read more]

    Wow, the ellipsograph is a beautiful geometric move however, and there was a couplet from Ovid that begged inclusion!
    As a matter of interest regarding St. Francis and the following extract from this article:

    On 24 December 1223, he organised a midnight mass that included a re-enactment of the event, with villagers playing the parts of Mary and…

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Oldsite in the forum Projects 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hallelujah, got something working re-counter with a modified .htaccess file in OldSite and a php script that writes a hit to a file each time the page is accessed. For a better breakdown of bot visitors, see Simple visitor counter, not sure if his code handles blockers though.
    No matter, all that’s required now is for some PHP to read a file and…[Read more]

  • Funny how everything is going to Discord. Why don’t they make everything Discord anyhow – a Discord browwer, Discord OS, Discord apparel, watches, jewellery and other paraphernalia, Discord car – or even – a Discord government? And most importantly, a plug & play connector device. (hey – where Dis Cord?)

    Sounds good. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Just installed VS2026 with the Linux and embedded development with C++, will be interesting – give me a bit.

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Morrowind in the forum Discussion 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Yeah, OpenMW is a must. Just run Morrowind from a Network drive to get no mouse at the options menu, and a big buzz out of the speakers. A cold start is the only way out of the system freeze which is missed entirely in the event log. ๐Ÿ™

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Computer Setup in the forum Projects 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    There’s a long wait before svchost.exe frees up other processes on the Ryzen, so boosted it a little with the help of this from W10 forums. The value in the registry setting for SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB was increased from the 380000 default to 600000 (6GB) RAM. Not the full 8gb as other process won’t get a look-in. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Thanks. Funny they are not wont to provide a list of “safe” hit counter sites, or even provide a safe hit counter themselves for sandbox purposes, which can be optionally blocked by their own software. A couple of bucks for each use could even got towards the upkeep of their site. They also block Google Analytics by default apparently.

    A very occasional thread dealing with fixing anything broken on the Old Site page linked in the top ribbon. The form of the page is at it was pretty much 30 years back, uses frames and there are issues with onMouseOver bricked by the activity in the quoteboxes. The easiest thing conceptually is to pause the JS script on a mouse over image,…[Read more]
