And another one came in: City Car Driving. It has VR support, which the other two do not, but its wheel support isn’t as extensive according to the reviews but it definitely warrants some additional research to see which one of the three programs is best suited to me 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

More than likely. A higher power input means more heat if the battery can’t absorb it all so you want a charger with a lower power for those devices. Don’t remember seeing power tolerances on spec-sheets like we have for humidity and temperature, which seems like an oversight since we have chargers of several power ratings. There are some that output 300W!

What’s wrong with copying and pasting? Don’t seem to have any issues on my A7 Lite

Put out a holler on Reddit and the peeps over there also suggested taking a look at Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I’ll add it to the list. May have me on the wrong side of the road, though 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sorry! I mean CPU controlled cars other than mine. The patterns don’t need to be realistic, just need some moving obstacles to practice on. 🙂

Thanks! Will give that a go 🙂

BeamNG Drive looks like it may be a better sim than Rigs of Rods and shares many of the same devs. I think it has ambient cars but need to make sure. Tried Rigs and, while okay, it is missing some features I need for a good practice sim

Sorry, WordPress croaked on my post last weekend and I never got around to retyping it.

Yep, we could set blog up as a general category. As we get more content, we can set it up with more to make finding things easier.

Hattical arts! 😀

Yep, the music pairing there is great! Still need to see Valerian. Will one of these days. May go ahead and add it to the list for the next few weeks, looks like I can get it over here 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

The stuck entry doesn’t appear in the registry at that location. Wish we had a proper search function for the registry. The find option just isn’t cutting it!

That’s a lot of whitespace! Better view would have the search bar next to the menu options like that. Assuming it’s using some sort of XML based layout (among others), they could do that with the float property in CSS. GTK, for instance, uses CSS for its theming and you can even set up the layout using Glade or directly using XML 🙂

Yeah, BIOS updates can go either way. For some reason, they seem to be pretty finicky. But when they work, they do a good job!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Still need to log in to GitHub but a C++ version doesn’t appear to be too difficult with few dependencies, especially with the filesystem library being added circa 2018. May take a stab at it and see if things start coming back to me as it’s been a good while since I did coding and I have been in the mood for more than just thinking up algorithms. 🙂

Essentially, we can do with addition and subtraction with the ASCII values, going character by character in the string. For proper case, we’d also check each substring, delimited by a space, and compare that to the word list for proper case. Another option is to use the transform function on the string and combine it with the toupper() or tolower() functions to do the whole string in one go and add it to to the new path list. Finally, we’d take our collection of paths and apply the rename function on them. Sorry if the algorithm is pretty rough, I’m pretty out of practice 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, it’d be very nice to have a setting just for the video drivers as those are the most likely to be handled manually. I get why Microsoft has them through Update so people can get up to speed as quickly as possible on a new computer as well as so people who aren’t as savvy don’t need to handle things themselves but, for the rest of us, it’s very annoying! Whelp, just downloaded the latest installer and will reinstall them when I’m up to the constant reboots 😛

Ah, okay. Yeah, it seems very dry over there. Most support forums at least have a board to just chat!

Suggestions for which? Not sure which segment you’re referring to 🙂

🙁 Chocolate always goes over well! When I visit family that’s fading, I often will bring a smorgasbord of goodies that I either made myself or was prepared at my favorite grocer. 🙂

Sounds good. Will watch out for it! The A7 Lite has trouble with pages that use scripts or have a lot of images. Fine for news headlines and Wikipedia but reading the news articles doesn’t go well, nor does using it to browse more general stuff around the web. It gets a bit sluggish in that case 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Got a few ideas to add to the list in addition to the robot one: arguing for space travel and such to be publicly controlled as opposed to privately and the benefits of a national electric grid 🙂

I have some stuff in the archive I cleaned up last year that I plan to toss in the knowledge base. I just need to revisit it and see if I can figure out why WordPress was puking when I tried to post some of the stuff before. Sorry, I only just remembered!

Yep, know all about that! I tend to fret a lot over it, myself, even though my ancient devices still work fine 😛

It would be nice if Windows would stop overwriting the GPU drivers, though. Don’t want to turn off the driver feature of Update since I don’t want to hunt for all of the rest but having to reinstall the GPU software periodically is getting annoying!

Well, I have been known to act a little odd at times. Unless you meant other forums? 😛

Sounds good. Make sure you add points to Luck and Perception! Always handy, those two! And have a good trip!

Which model are you getting? I’m still rocking the A7 Lite but may upgrade it sometime next year as I’m using it more and more for research, which it sometimes has a hard time with. 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, these days I mostly try to just ignore them. I actually blocked them from sending me phone messages a year ago as it was getting pretty bad. This they complained to my mom about and never did come to me with it. Not even a note on the door or in the mailbox.

Sounds good. Will take a look at it soon (got the GitHub notification). Been helping my mom go car shopping which has been a chore in itself. It’s not the dealerships that are a problem, she just has her heart set on a couple brands, doesn’t like their offerings, but won’t try other brands. We’re kind of at a standstill so I’m looking up the brands she won’t try to try to convince her otherwise. 🙂

It mostly depends on the programming. That is, how much free will are they allowed? Otherwise, they could be said to follow the wishes of the 1s and 0s. Granted, there will be people saying they do that anyways 😛 Part of the trouble is that the industry has gotten a sudden obsession with making robots more human in appearance even though they’re not necessarily as functional. It’s very hard to get a bipedal robot to climb stairs, for instance. Crawler bots have a much easier time of it. By focusing on our own appearance, we’re also granting them all of the weaknesses of the human form when other shapes have a lot of advantages depending on situation. Thanks in part to the media, we’re losing sight of their true purpose: to perform tasks well and efficiently.

Ah, so I should switch to cosinusoidal progression, then? 😛 Or maybe a tangential graph. Granted, all the spikes would be nerve wracking!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sounds good. Definitely don’t want things to go belly up again 🙂

I think it purges the cache after doing updates and checking for them. It did that the other day when I applied the BuddyPress update, too

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sorry, been exceedingly busy the last few days.

There’s a thought! I could also get some fun signs such as something that says, “Dinosaur Nest EXTREME CAUTION”. 😀

I do have a few videos but have no idea how to upload them as I rarely work with videos. Will play with it some!

Still haven’t figured out what’s missing from my life. The thought came up as I started feeling a bit empty again the other day. Not sure why. I know I just finished the hurricane post but I’m already working on the next idea (arguing against humanoid robots (they’re bloody androids, media!)) so that’s not it. Maybe I’m simply overthinking things?

[Spastic Hamburger]

So I know you’ve been pestering me to watch Wayward Pines. Since I can’t get it on the services I subscribe to, I decided to read it instead!

Also, happy Halloween!

[Spastic Hamburger]

So I settled on Donald Duck – Pie Slinger for my late game heavy hitter as its secondary effect has good synergy with the rest of my deck. We’ll find out in a few weeks if it works well 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Got another CLeanTalk update. Should we make a backup first?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Begging to run out of science fiction to read so I think I may shift back to horror for a bit. Been at least a year since I’ve read horror. 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

So my first deck from scratch in six years is almost done. I just need to pick out a few more cards. Essentially, it works as a lore farm at its core. Right now, I’m just trying to pick out the heavy hitters 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

And update applied 🙂
