Spastic Hamburger

In the past, sites used to be happy to merge accounts for you but very few do that now. It was nice being able to call customer service and explain the situation and get everything migrated.

Yep, really miss Google Cache. It was very handy, especially to grab a snapshot of a site when they were down for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with…[Read more]

Yep, have had a couple of forums I visited do that. Always sad when they fade away 🙁 Even sadder when it happens during a lively discussion 🙁

Looks like vBulletin has its own spam protection now. No idea how long its had it, though.

Never had that issue. I have had issues where they keep spamming me even though I keep telling them I want to be…[Read more]

So there’s a huge plot hole in the Futurama episode “The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings”. At the end, Robot Devil reveals that his contract says he gets to marry Leela. However, in Season 6 Episode 4 “Proposition Infinity”, it becomes apparent that robosexual marriage isn’t legal until the end of that episode. With that in mind, it makes his…[Read more]

Don’t see the DisplayPort specs in Adrenaline but we do have a display specs section under Settings -> Display -> Display Specs at the bottom. Doesn’t say anything at all about the interface, though. Nothing wrong with DisplayPort. In fact, it has some good benefits over HDMI. They mostly reached feature parity several years ago so the 10-bit…[Read more]

Great! Another fork….? Not sure of some of the changes from the diffs, such as changing some of the types from ints to shorts and long to long long. Would need to look at the surrounding code or even ask them about it. Other than those things, the changes look minimal so we may be able to just use on Nimrod’s fork and go from there. Definitely…[Read more]

Only 38 comments on that post? Blogs are definitely becoming less popular, I see 🙁

Thanks! Now if we can figure out how to disable it for Bing. May be a toggle, haven’t looked yet 🙂

Someone needs to license the character as their betel nut mascot 😛

Yeah, I still need to get an air purifier for the living room. That will surely help. We’re…[Read more]

Started on the Dalton films yesterday with The Living Daylights. Really enjoyed the more serious tone. Some of the critics complain about the lack of humor but there was plenty! Bit of a shame that Dalton only did two films.

Never had a C++ course (learned on my own) or used virtual functions before so I’ll need to brush up on them before they go on the list

I suspect most of the macro issues will vanish once the code is changed so that it’s no longer being generated. I don’t even know what the generated commands tell it to make

This could be a useful utility to…[Read more]

Any luck with reaching Nimrod?

In the meantime, I went ahead and ran the repository through cppcheck using the following options:
cppcheck --enable=all --platform=win64 common Windows esm IL File project
As expected, there are lots of messages about the use of the virtual bits. The log is surprisingly sparse otherwise. Here’s the full log.

According to this post, you can! You need to activate it in the settings on the old Reddit site, though. Weird 😛

The new update is gorgeous! Sure, we have giant planets all next door and smaller ones that haven’t been captured as moons. Not exactly accurate in terms of astrophysics but that’s okay!

In related news, X4: Foundations is currently…[Read more]

Sadly, it’s all opt-out if they even let you. Really getting tired of forced AI content on the web 🙁

It’s not really the browser, it’s on Google’s search results. Bing has similar issues. When I typed in Beetlejuice just now on Bing, one of the suggested search results called it an “American Actor” instead of a film. Ugh.

I smelled and saw a…[Read more]

I think part of it is that people are beginning to realize how far AI has to go. I have a lot of issues with it myself. Since Google added AI summaries to the search results page, I’ve been having more issues finding what I need. I find that the summaries are worded in strange ways that I find difficult to understand, or even inaccurate, and find…[Read more]

Ugh. Have you tested just the Kogan? I see you tested the Philips on its own

Somewhat related but I still haven’t flipped the setting for HDR in my monitor’s setting menu (not the Windows one but the one built in to the monitor). Honestly not sure if I’ll ever get around to it

NMS update just landed! It looks incredible!

Yep, we get those too! Most of them are shown on the Hallmark Channel. The ones on streaming are a bit…worse 😛

Finished up Fallout yesterday. It was pretty fun at the end but still left me wanting for more. They did a good job of showing more of the varying vault personalities and the strife between factions. Fortunately, we’re getting another…[Read more]

Yeah, Windows is hit or miss with regards to obeying the driver update settings. Though, the policy setting is almost always obeyed. It’d be less annoying if WU would actually update intelligently instead of “updating” a user installed driver to an older version in the WU Update Catalogue 😛

On Linux, you can downgrade any package (kernel,…[Read more]

Good to know that nothing is seriously broken 🙂

I still haven’t played Eternal Darkness. It really needs to be released again 🙁

Hogwarts Legacy is getting a huge update on January 30th that also includes modding tools. Why they mostly do annual updates is beyond me but at least we’re getting continual support!

The only one I’ve really avoided is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Not sure why I keep skipping it but I should really watch it at some point. For Your Eyes Only was pretty fun. It has the best anti-theft system you’ll find:

And let’s not forget the legendary Andre!

Ooh, good cast. Not available in…[Read more]

The last time I used AI Suite, it was pretty slow. Granted, this was about a decade ago or so. Fortunately, Microsoft is working on a package manager for Windows so that should help streamline everything. The unified interface for managing everything else, though, is definitely a good idea. In that regard, Windows really lags behind Linux.

On the…[Read more]
