Welcome to the Vault, @AlfrescoD, 🙋♂️ do hope your stay here will be pleasant and fruitful 🍒. Best way to get started is to engage in a friendly chat by responding or creating a topic in the discussion forum, there’s also Projects and Blogging for more focused avocations, if anything in the sanctum feels out of place just holler over here in forums. 🙂
1.1 fixes a few bugs and logging, there’s also an explanation on Github of why cmd isn’t real good with anything but lower case. Using such languages is a bit like operating vintage cars:
A welcome invitation to any players of a lightly modded Fallout NV install …
RSVPs for such auspicious occasions are still under construction. 🙂
Ah, Pocket keep a cached copy of sites that have moved on, a costly exercise which explains it. Side-alley stuff like The Bored Hoard provides a refreshing alternative, here’s one:
Never used these sites personally, notwithstanding their marked improvement on the webrings of old. Always use search engines, and if something juicy crops up, yay. For bookmark management Raindrop.io looks tempting though, as the current state of the bookmarks here is shoddy at best, and somewhat outdated from lack of use.On moving down to the South Coast around 2K joined up with this ISP and dropped them in 2007 for some reason, probably cost. The next provider was gotalk, and left them in 2010 as the service delivery dropped when they were taken over with focus more to mobile plans. Thus the provided email addresses also got nixed, these days it gets interesting when using one of those to sign in entities such as Scribd where upon there returns something like:
Check Your Email: To protect your account, we’ve sent a verification email to ol******@**ne.com. Please click the link in that email to verify your identity. To learn more, please visit our FAQs.
Didn’t receive an email? Check your spam folder, or send again.
Not the correct email? Use a different email addressNot the correct email means signing up for a new account, so any info stored with the old one is lost, thus contacting them is the last resort, which by the looks of that page doesn’t help too much. What ever happened to webmaster or admin @suchandsuch.com?
History on the web is changing too, when Google stopped caching pages, there is now more encumbrance on IA than ever before. Did sign up with Furl way back, will anything like that come back again?
Also had an account with Shelfari, IIRC there never was a merging of accounts into Goodreads, understandable of course if there were millions of them.From The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings:
Playing an improvised finale, Fry produces crude, cartoonish images of himself and Leela. To a simplistic yet sweet bansuri tune, the created Fry and Leela kiss and then walk into the distance hand-in-hand.
An alternative ending is for Fry to walk into the distance hand-in-devil robot hand? Like the idea, and the wealth of possibilities abounding for an appropriate operatic motif. 🙂
Now streaming another more recent spy drama in the Bond tradition is The Night Manager. Although Le Carré may not approve of the Bond association (as he referred to him as an international gangster), the protagonist often succeeds by engaging in rather thuggish activities, if you don’t mind. Like a Bond film it flicks around various worldly locations, as well as stitching important events in the story through flashbacks. The finery, competent acting and stunning locations sometimes reveal a rather bony lattice of plain in the screenplay, which takes the edge off a fabulous show, still recommended, and can’t wait for the second series. 🙂Logged on to the Final Fantasy forums after 8 years, there’s something funky about that install as performing any actions from saving stuff on your profile to navigating to another page gets one logged off! Very quiet now, there well may have been a first post for 2024, a final post in subsequent years may not be out of the question, and the fantasy of the assimilation of FF Forums into Wayback could turn out to be no more than an irksome reality. 🙁
A little further back signed up with the Wrox forums regarding info on good programming books. Never made that post though, and a few years later it was death by a thousand spambots, bad luck packages like Cleantalk for vBulletin weren’t around then.
And the blech NewEgg account protection again, well meaning of course despite reviving for subscribers the ancient conundrum of Humpty Dumpty, and was he over protected? 😛Updated the thread there, happens with just the Evnia 27″. The only hope is a DP 1.4 cable which can be procured from the local outlet. Funny, couldn’t locate the DP info in Adrenalin, is it visible on yours?
The cheapo monitors over here will never sport anything like a luxurious HDR toggle, the manufacturers could have at least included one which would have the effect of next to nothing, in an attempt to make us feel as if we have kept up with the Joneses. 😛Yeah, style, warnings, virtual functions in base class, override’ specifier required, function in derived class etc.
esm/EsmBase.cpp:28:3: error: There is an unknown macro here somewhere. Configuration is required. If DEFINE_FILE is a macro then please configure it. [unknownMacro]

^🙂 Contacted Nimrod at NexusMods with a link on here, sorry for the delay. 🙂
Oh, was thinking a browser would have a policy of showing a search engine’s search results, but not the AI blurb as default. In any case, it can be turned of by plugins or this:

What about him popping up in an ad for sarsaparilla, or even better, betel nut beer? 😛
Ah, breathing again, know the feeling well. 🙂 Hot with fires over this part of the world, rainy up the top end, some had more than half a metre of rain in 15 hours, and well over a metre for the week.They should really provide an option to hide the AI, or at least put it at the bottom of the page, if it gets any worse, then another browser is definitely on the table. As an afterthought, wonder why ungoogled-chromium isn’t mentioned on the Chromium page?
All the way from California? Checked the air quality for your area just now, the maps say pretty good, there are some fires around, not too close though, and the southerlies should clear the air some. Has it improved recently?Wonder if there’s the ability to run oldReddit on a premium account, for no other purpose than requiring the devs to maintain, tease and cajole it into a new shape of old! 😛
NMS is awesome, it’s an amazing revelation that in all these planetary views the nearby moons and planets loom so large. In reality, the tidal forces would be such that the peaceful pastoral landscape are instantly replaced with uber seismic activity, rampant volcanism, huge tidal waves and massive storms. In other words, the No Mans Sky is falling down!
Aw snap, out of the blue OneDrive had started to download everything as if everything got reset, or something. Luckily, “Free up space” in settings or right click stopped it, just took a few minutes to work it out. When performed in Settings, a potential downside is “Free up space” zapping local copies of everything on OneDrive, might be inconvenient if internet is down later.
Going through some of the old Github issues, noticed the GitHub issues for some of the MicrosoftDocs categories have been removed altogether. For instance, the following come up in the linked search:MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs Function Type: Typo?
MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs Easy Jump Link for Windows Home Subscribers
MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs Totally unclear descriptionInteresting, ever since 2019 when removing Github issues got the green light, a few MicrosoftDocs categories yet remain for this user. Seems to be an increasing trend for the larger operators to move issues away from Github, for example, Reddit and even AutoHotkey. The wayback Machine has most of that stuff archived, best to search there by org or repo name, (don’t bother attempting to navigate from the front page. 😛 ). Due to the 10,000 limit on results, a complete list of archived Github issues only pulls a paltry ~700 hits with the filter
issuesapplied.Isn’t that what they want want – keep on filling Bezos’s moneypot ’til season 2?
Old is unbalanced, with an intriguing predicament for its leads. Even though not recommended for the list, it should be watched for the ideas, and the ways they could have better formed the movie. Running past full time, yet the myriad of unanswered questions at the end makes it incomplete, while a lot of stuff can be edited out. Fun fact, it’s actually based on a French comic:
After 15 years, memories of broken keyboards are as clear as a discarded CRT tube lying under the burnished sun.
Slight issue with the Evnia,

Seems like the only one reporting it though, if it isn’t a monitor setting off kilter, still better a fault than a product recall, either way, pain ahead. 🙁Ouch! Roger Moore had the nicest voice of all the Bonds IMOP. 🙂
Recently came across two “placeholder” films on offer by fta 9Now, Death She Wrote (TV Movie 2021), and Deadly Influencer (TV Movie 2019). There are literally thousands more like these made every year. The movie production teams do all the right things required to make the movies watchable, problem is, the directors think it’s enough to build a up a believable female character lead from a stock psychotic bipolar serial murderer template possessing the tenderness, panache and geniality of the Red Hulk, in order to plug any gaping holes in the movie’s plotline. The prerequisite for viewing is a single digit IQ, which should be noted in any Wikipedia Articles that will never be made for them. 😛
Completed Paris Has Fallen, the French spoken scenes necessitated switching on the subtext which is a little cumbersome and unreliable on this unit. Enjoyed it, very suspenseful and well paced, though lags a bit with a predictability factor towards the end.
Starting on The_Consultant_(TV_series), looks to be more than just the life and times of a fruitcake with a screw loose – all will be revealed – along with a colourful mix of nuts and bolts, no doubt. 😛A console application would be fun, and as we are dealing with file/folder names – (after Bill Gates) one line should be more than enough. 🙂
Another milestone in either case is knowing what the filesystem is, thus not providing support for FAT volumes under Windows which contain only upper case file/folder names.
And detect UNC paths, as renaming files or running batch files from such media will require leaping through more hoops:call :isUncPath C:
if %errorlevel% == 0 echo C: is on UNC
exit /b:IsUncPath
::: param1 – drive letter with colon, ex Y:
::: @return exitcode 0 – drive is network mapped
net use %~1 >nul 2>&1
EXIT /B %errorlevel%A welcome invitation to any players of a lightly modded Fallout NV install that wish to try out how the game performs on Linux, exists to sample delights of the lower case filename and xEdit rename utilities at the first opportunity. 🙂
Well, morality kicks in a bit when you know how hungry the coyotes are. If they are moderately hungry, they would all be happy to share one deer, so in a chase, the slowest deer will lose, as it happens in un-biased settings. If they are ravenous, probably the same thing, as they may not be in good enough health to digest the meat properly, and if they are not so hungry, do nothing,. as the coyotes will probably do as well.
And so it happened, AI infrastructure begins with a bang and a crunch. The owners of Nvidia may not be too happy with the 17% drop, or not too surprised either, as they knew it had to happen. Even AMD shares went down 6.4%.
Leech season over here, as opposed to further north, down here the “anæsthetic” isn’t so strong, so can be felt earlier. The shortfall might be related to the recent extended drought, in which the poor critters exist mostly as a relatively dry withered bit of tube. 😛It’s amazing, the first thing that comes up on Google search for AI Suite is the cleaner. 😛
Hmmm, thought the driver updates were turned off, everything is switched off, still got the Logitech 11.55.3120 successfully installed, as all the other updates in the other categories are. Seems the GP settings for driver updates were nixed in the W11 24H2 updates, oh well, it’s all explained at Intune, so why worry?
Oh, and just in case we were wondering:
You won’t be able to uninstall some updates. Uninstalling updates may put your PC at risk.
Of the hundreds of updates successfully installed on this rig, there’s an option to uninstall only three, same with Linux?
Yep, not so much of a risk on the managed desktops, as they are vetted, tested and ratified as per schema. Not so with the Ryzen, did however make the move of un-installing the Armoury Crate as some of the associated background processes seem to chew up a few cycles of mhz. Uninstallation using the Armoury_Crate_Uninstall_Tool mentioned here went without hitch. Hardly used it, however there is an alternative setup utility which is worth a try at some stage. 🙂
Oh nice, wonder if for those, anyone is good enough for a screenplay near enough as good as it was for (at least the first season of) WayWard Pines.
Funny thing about cold shock in some plants, for many it can be a delayed effect, they remain seemingly okay until early spring, and then fade. 25° is certainly about the limit for subtropicals.
Heard this guy on the radio today, what he says boils down to everything we say, write, or do is geared ultimately toward harm minimisation. As one reviewer put it:Our sense of morality is rooted in avoiding harm.
A bit depressing actually, mostly on account of the fact it all boils down to reveal a hard kernel of truth. 🙁
