Yes, can get Tubi on Fetch. so will give it a whirl!
Completed The Darkness, not bad, although one can imagine folks making movies in Iceland have a hard time keeping the cold out!
Midnight Special never did deliver the genre of sci-fi these eyes and ears prefer, yet it works quite well as movie, with some genuinely stunning visuals. A bit less of the cannonball runs and volleys, and more … sci-fi please. 🙂

Ooh, the language will be a thing – are there libraries for them?

Tab doesn’t work properly in pages with a tab control

It’s a bit cryptic, typically one transfers the focus of one control to another control on a form with CTRL-TAB. A tab form or page is itself also a control, thus the user may not expect the change in focus. And, depending on the tab order, the focus could switch to another tab, or a control in another tab, so you’ll want code for the tab to be activated with the contained controls shown, along with the one with the focus. Here’s a little V1 AHK script where CTRL-TAB selects the next tab:

WS_CLIPSIBLINGS := 0x4000000
DetectHiddenWindows, On
Gui, +LastFound -MaximizeBox -MinimizeBox +OwnDialogs HWNDguihWnd
thisguiW := floor(A_ScreenWidth/2)
thisguiH := floor(A_ScreenHeight/6)

Gui, Add, Text, vText Center x0 y0, Tab1

Gui, Add, Tab2, x0 y0 w%thisguiW% h%thisguiH% vTestTab gTestTab HWNDtestTabhWnd, Tab1|Tab2|Tab3

Gui, Show, w%thisguiW% h%thisguiH% Hide

; Calling GetNonClientDim with testTabhWnd is useless
tabguiH := thisguiH – GetNonClientDim(guihWnd)
tabguiW := thisguiW – A_LastError

The AHK logo is now stored here, ever since a rather stricter regime of Cloudflare settings has taken hold over there. 🙁
Ehm, anyway, back to C++. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

The tab issue is super old and they were problematic back then, in AHK there are now three types of tab, the second tab came in 2007. In C++ it really amounts to what styles and attributes are applied.
If they meant MWEdit rather than CS, is it able to display AI package windows?
Will definitely want specifics for the search, is it regex based?
Sounds good. 🙂

The PC time was a day out (weekday correct – calendar date wrong) which explained a BIOS settings mismatch, and the Solitaire Events not playing nice, now fixed. 🙂
The setting in SB commander didn’t stick after reboot, even after stopping the service, so now trying out “direct mode” for the soundcard, seems a little more promising.
And ew, a few repairs on some of my tiny Oblivion mods due. 🙂
Sounds like a challenging game, with quite a few mods out as well, would “Tamriel in Minecraft” be of any use?

[DeVaultSetter]

Haven’t seen yours, do recall the localised versions over here, especially “Turps” Turpie and Emdur who made it fun to watch.
LMAD never took off in a big way over here, so ended up LMADICI (In 101).
TTFAW is on the list! Many of these older movies end their journey in IA, TTFAW is offered in OGG format at 367 mb, so not bad for 360p format over ~90 minutes. The MPEG4 version is well over twice that, could there be a noticeable difference?
Many newer movies uploaded to IA are 1080p, which can be a pain to stream through average bandwidth. There would be many IA subscribers willing to downgrade to 720p for improved buffering no doubt, unfortunately 720p is not on the IA table at this time.
The interrelationship of the two young male leads in Murder by Numbers lends a bit of ballast to a generally empty and scatter-brained affair pf a movie. The matter of fact way Sandra Bullock enters the drama might play to her impressionable character, but doesn’t make sense at all in reference to the unravelling of a rather disturbing chain of events in this bleak and undeveloped story.

[DeVaultSetter]

Huh, interesting, glad it was of use. 🙂
Cloudflare wouldn’t let me get on to NexusMods, because the time on this desktop was not updated for the end of daylight saving. After changing it and clearing cookies, still required a bit of doodle-foo for the thing to like me again. 😛
Back on the machine with the soundcard, forgot all about the dread 5.1 setting. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

You’ll want to watch the original Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies first without the dubious overlays of 21C “brush”. 😛
Think I saw that last century – anything with Jesse Ventura is bound to have a few good bangs. 🙂
Reason for including WOF is because many of their prize showcases back in the day were stunning, even the envy of some involved in department store displays!

Here’s a short video of someone shopping for a Ceramic Dalmation!

Something (probably me) tripped the cord onto the sleeping 1200 VA 720W Eaton UPS: 5S1200AU, thus won’t power on means it or the batteries have kicked the bucket.
Yep, two batteries, and not cheap through the official, alternatives include the ones at Amazon, manufactured in Taiwan if it were ever a thing, whereas the provenance is Vietnam for this or this.
Anyway, the securing screws on the UPS don’t conform to anything on hand, and the bum software support from Eaton are enough to tip the scales over to a hopefully, better product.

And shock horror, could have got it for considerably less with free delivery through …. Amazon! So, to relieve the pain, ordered a second for another family member. 🙂

OTOH, we’re bound to get close and personal to a bunch of Walrus issues which don’t involve Vault-Tec at all. The first and most obvious, is that Walrus is not a fictional brainchild of a game-creator, although there is no reason why it should not have a readable, rollicking and ropable counterpart in myth. One for the thread! 🙂
Got a CloudFlare blech on this site, https://www.sure-green.com/suregreen-gardening/suregreen-plant-protection/suregreen-mesh-and-netting.html

Over here, some plants won’t show chill shock symptoms ’til spring, and in many cases it’s too late. A great culinary addition to one’s garden is Mother of Herbs, also requiring chill protection in winter, even though it is a fantastic ground cover. So best in a pot. The much rarer Lemon Sherbet Coleus has similar requirements, been on the waiting list for that, uh, a while.
Good luck, verbenas are tough, granted, make sure it’s well established before being walked on.
Most of the tree plantings are complete, the main worry is to maintain protection for the young plants from wallabies and deer. Happens when things dry up a bit.

[DeVaultSetter]

Shucks, minor disaster with the VAX, the metal cover securing what was left of the brushes on one of the attachments has metal rot! Heh, one would expect after 40 years the plastic would go first? It’s fine. 🙂
Only problem is, the head is stuck fast on the metal connector. As replacement rods are costly, might be some cutting involved, heating sure to work but smelly.
Edit: Got it off with the help of a neighbour by propitious snicks, so went right ahead over to ebay and ordered the head! 🙂

Tucked into an episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!. Fun certainly, very 70’s, also comes with extra short music or recap/explanatory interludes that didn’t elevate appreciation. Lot of folks like it, do you?
Sometimes things come of as pure flat, no matter what they pump into them. If you can’t correct visuals, sequencing or parts, then the dialog is the last resort. In the flunks of yester-year, the cast and crew could laugh it off and hope for the best, these days, reparation with a po-face doesn’t cut it somehow.
Never viewed Wheel of Fortune before, only localised variants thereof. This one sprays a bit of pizzazz around to make it more than a nothing show, guests can surprise, Seacrest can be funny when he wants. The FTA here will show it, not stream it, pity. Youtube has it through the Fetch service, thus if not a paid Youtube subscriber, one has to manually search and select episodes that haven’t been viewed yet, each time YouTube is launched. Despite ending up in many selections at the beck and call of weird editing by fans, one may not be disappointed at all.
Also streaming The Darkness, so have those beanies, snow boots and warm jumpers handy. 🙂

Ah, humans vs. The Mechan in eternal conflict, quite a few not happy about the ending as well – is there possibly a better one?
That is a massive article indeed, surely a candidate for a Walrus-Tech spinoff. 🙂
As time marches on, Google Community erases content from their forums, case in point, they did however tag it as a !Non-Issue, presumably the reason for closing the thread. 😛
The broken linked threads (no doubt tarnished by link rot) are the following:

Well, to suss out the mysteries of who disposed of the missing Scooby Doo franchise will no doubt require the investigative skills off someone like … Scooby Doo!
Absolutely, they have to be convincing without invoking a lighter comedic edge, San Andreas has problems with varying tsunami height, from 100m to less than 10m in a short time, for example. The blooper types correspond to many from other genre, particularly sc-fi, so it seems.
Twelve Monkeys had sufficient tension to keep one onto the end titles, anything which glosses over the enormous complexity of impossible time travel wants a enough structure in the plot to make it credible. Not quite enough in this case, despite the highlight of Pitt enjoying his part in the infirmary.
CSI Cyber never made it to series three, even with our old favourite Ted Danson on board. No surprises there when it came to the lame banter and thin character expositions. The technical wizardry of the crimes did somewhat bedazzle, even after their explanations later, which turned out to be unsurprisingly short on detail.
Found Snakes on a Plane to be an unsettling film of slasher ilk, thus a dampener on enjoyment. Memorable, so that the takeout is to check for any sign of the slithery critters next time one takes a flight. May also inspire one to not take the trouble to look out for Snakes on a Train whenever it next pops up on FTA.
The energy in Black Adam is wambam relentless and never ceasing. Spoiler alert: here are some fight scenes:

[DeVaultSetter]

Oh okay, don’t think that would work with MS VC++, it makes the code hard to read when they are mixed up like that IMOP, different strokes though. Precompile stuff in directives is the exception. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Sorry, my bad on the lingo, the braces look fine, it’s the parenthesis on the very last line – does that seem okay to you?

[DeVaultSetter]

That snippet of code won’t pass the “pub test”, the bracket on its own has to match the expression in the above statement and SYS_WIN32( has to go straight off. The final closing bracket has to be replaced with a semicolon deleted, is best. And yes, what system library has SYS_WIN32?
Yeah, DEFINE_FUNCTION isn’t part of VC++ or gcc, all you want to do is to remove it, and just define the function in the header. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Important update: Done nothing yet viz. NFC yet, and nothing all that interesting since then. Wow this is great yay yay yeah! 🙂
An issue evolved with the Tab A vs. Find Me Now, resolved … amazingly. 🙂

Living a life in a bunker, as it were anywhere near as good as life above ground, no matter what it promises, is bunkum. 😛
Warcraft III Neophyte: Which Rubicon book is that?
What Happened to the Intellectual Dark Web? For the disenchanted and falling out, what’s left? Bags Non-Intellectual Light Web to make a yin and yang of it, no? 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Well after what has occurred in the Middle East since then, it’s even a more pressing issue than ever. A job for a politico notable to dress up as a large, friendly crime solving dog, then go delving in the mysteries of the hallowed region, find the culprits, solve the mystery and bring in eternal peace. The Middle East saved by … Scooby-Doo!
IA hosts the first two, not Battle of the Planets, how odd. Might have seen those yonks ago on FTA, they used to screen things of that genre very late at night.

San Andreas had nice scenes like the Earthquake shots, tall buildings swaying and the early helicopter edit: Taylor Swift??? rescue. There’s also someone’s “Does the Science Hold Up” series, links for those later. plenty of bloopers good and bad. Nice cast, visual angles and camera shots, shame about the drek wreck team of writers and directors. First impression.
My theory is the writers and directors actually made this bad for fear of getting the sponsors too rich from the box office windfall. Why? They would surely be sued by the real owners of the skyscrapers that fell down at an alarming pace, complaining all buildings should have done so. That surely implies their buildings are worse than others. Ridiculous maybe, wouldn’t it make superb entertainment for a real life (and a later fictional rehashing) court drama?
