Mansion of the Doomed wasn’t bad, if a tad repetitive. Eventually, they go into a montage of kidnapping and harvesting but I feel as though they overdid it a tad. Would have been much better if it focused more on the actual transplant research, like The Island of Dr Moreau, than the constant stream of victims.
Lovely. I wish we could get to the bottom of that bug. It’s pretty annoying 🙁
Energy Search does look intriguing. Quite like the embed options 🙂 An option to have card info hover over the card name when you hover the mouse pointer over it may be a nice addition if some plugins have that feature.
You had mentioned you were having trouble finding current plugins?
If you want to look at plugin creation, it looks like you’ll want to use a different system as VS isn’t set up for PHP. Personally, I just use a text-editor (been using Geany for several years as it’s lightweight and has good code searching capabilities) for coding (C++, C, markup languages, etc) as it works best for me but here’s an extensive, but incomplete, list of IDEs. Notably, it’s missing GNOME Builder. You could also check out Visual Studio Code, which is sort of a more modular and lightweight version of VS
Edit:
Links got mangled. Sorry, can’t fix them 🙁
In the future, I may skip the firmware upgrades if they’re going to be that much hassle 😛
You can most likely skip the monitor’s HDR settings. It’s different from the old style HDR, which I’ll call software HDR. The new HDR is monitor based and the programs that take advantage of it are few and far between. Older programs, say five years or older, use software HDR which modifies the lighting in the software instead of using the hardware lighting. Hopefully that makes sense 🙂
HW Monitor will be able to provide a lot of extra details. It’ll also let you monitor certain stats like voltage and temperatures in real-time. It may be useful for the other system that’s experiencing some power issues. May help tell you if it’s getting enough juice 🙂
Ooh, neat little board. Definitely worth perusing!
Interesting, sounds like TCGPlayer is discontinuing their API for whatever reason. That would explain why some of the pages were broken and their scripts not working. Think the affiliate program is still up, though.
I’m pretty sure the official YGO database doesn’t provide an API and it’s a bit cumbersome to work with it in general. It does some weirdness where it accesses the information without changing the URL but I’ll see what I can dig up.
MtG has an API (can’t tell if it’s official or a community one) and the Pokemon TCG has an unofficial one so finding a plugin for it should be much easier. Will need to dig deeper for YGO. There are other smaller card games, too, but starting with the big three is probably a good idea
Edit:
Looks like YGO has an unofficial API here: https://ygoprodeck.com/api-guide/
Sorry, for some reason I thought you were trying to work with VGA – digital. Not sure how I got that out of there….
Yeah, used to happen with our cassette player and, less frequently, with the VCR. Had to take a knife and pry them open. Was never a good thing when that happened :/
Just found out that this is a thing. Not exactly a silver bullet for using a wireless mouse but could still be handy in general for the range of devices. What would really be helpful, though, is a desk with built-in wireless charging. Until they resolve the battery and latency issues, hopefully wired mice will still exist 🙂
Speaking of mousepads, I’m probably overdue for a replacement. My twenty year old mousepads are looking kind of rough these days 😛
Yep. We were unable to determine what was wrong with Linux so I had to reinstall it. Spent much of yesterday setting things back up (always been a bit slow with configuring software) so we should be able to rock and roll again in a few days 🙂
Is HDMI 2.1 not backwards compatible with 2.0? You should be able to use an older screen with it and work fine. That should be the maximum supported version. Likewise, you should be able to use it with screens that exceed the version but you wouldn’t get all of the features available.
Finished up with support a few weeks ago. The only thing left was to restore the Windows bootloader, which went without a hitch. Just didn’t have time to do it before yesterday morning. Now I can go back and finish configuring everything again. 🙂
No surprise that the motherboard is proprietary. Do wish they’d use more standard parts, though, for better software support.
SK Hynix is a good brand and known for stability. Their parts are mostly sold to integrators and the embedded market but they’ve recently started selling their SSDs to the general consumer so you may not have a problem finding identical RAM if you want to upgrade to another stick. 🙂
Sounds good on the monitor issues. I think DP is video only but I’ve only ever used it with external speakers so don’t quote me on that.
Year, everyone’s hearing is different. For instance, I had some EMF interference on the unused RCA jacks on the amp that only I could hear on account of the frequency. Had to cap them to get rid of it 🙂
Yeah, we get the driver loading errors on Linux, too. On Linux, it tries each module so the errors aren’t true errors but information messages saying the associated hardware for the module wasn’t found so the module failed to take effect. Can get a tad confusing when there is an actual error
Yep, that external looks pretty slick. 🙂
May need an external at some point myself
*looks at RCT disc*
That was…surprisingly painless. I booted the installation USB, which sent me to the Install Windows area. At first, I was a bit confused as I thought it would give me a menu to select Install, Repair, etc. Next, I hit Shift + F10 as instructed and that brought up a system command prompt. One there, I tracked down the system drive letter with
diskpart list volume exitThe system volume is generally the largest partition formatted as NTFS. After that, I typed:
Bcdboot <volume>:\Windows
I exited the command prompt and then exited the Install window with the big X (why it still uses the W7 theme to install W11 is beyond me (I’m a bit of a stickler for visual consistency 😛 )) to reboot.
Boom. Windows was back. Took me all of two minutes.Next step is to reconfigure systemd-boot. Hopefully that’s just a simple matter of adjusting the timeout but we’ll find out. The PopOS drive still shows as bootable in the UEFI menu, at least. 🙂
Honestly, I was expecting more trouble than that.
Edit:
Boom. systemd-boot is updated. Just had to add timeout 5 to loader.conf in the ESP. 🙂
Final analysis: Windows didn’t mess with the ESP at all when updating it. Why it can’t do that during the Windows installation process is beyond me. It would make a lot more sense to just run the command than to reset the entire ESP when detected. Same with Linux installers.
Now the question becomes, what next?
