In honor of this product, here’s some AC/DC:
And in related products, here’s a unique design: https://www.techradar.com/audio/turntables/this-wild-turntable-plays-vinyl-without-a-tonearm-automatically-detects-the-rpm-and-is-a-solid-lump-of-aluminum
Will be interesting to see how it works in practice. The comments are absolutely brutal. I can see how resonance will be an issue with the location, along with potential contaminants since dust likes to settle on the bottom and in creases.
Forgot to mention that they also confirmed that their changes were to mostly satisfy changes to the Windows API over the last twenty years.
It’s wonderful! I’ve been playing it off and on on Linux and Windows for years 🙂
It also has a hidden sandbox mode that lets you remove most of the limitations. I forget the key combination, though.
It’s definitely taking time to relearn it and not go too fast at the beginning but I’m getting better. I don’t really care about the scoring, I just like building things up. Will need to look at the more advanced settings in case I can remove some of it. Once I get the hang of it again, I’ll be flipping it over to more realism by adjusting the map settings and other things. 🙂
It also has a lot of add-ons to give it a regional feel. By default, it is mostly inspired by the UK but you can do Australia, Japan, and more by using the right content packs 🙂
Cool! What are you using it for?
So I reinstalled OpenTTD the other day and it’s still just as relaxing as it was last time I gave it a whirl. Now, though, there are a lot more add-ons for better graphics in the online content menu. Haven’t tried those out yet.
Okay, my finger is healed enough to work now so I’ve reached out to rfuzzo about the warnings 🙂
For reference, this is how I ran cpplint:
./cpplint --filter=-whitespace,-readabiltiy/braces --recursive ~/Code/mwedit/rfuzzo says they had trouble with the script-editor so we may want to look at possibly adding in Scintilla support. Absolutely no experience with it but we can certainly add it to the list.
They also say that there’s some wonkiness with the GUI with how the modern Windows controls handle it.
Another note:
We’ll want to make sure we compile the Windows executable as a static executable. This is important as, unlike *nix systems, Windows doesn’t have a central repository on system for libraries so each program needs to bundle its DLLs with them if built dynamically. The distribution can get a bit messy. Makes it harder to update libraries but the end users aren’t likely to simply download an updated library file anyways
With CMake, this is easily done by checking to see if it’s being run on Windows. Will need to check about Meson.
Edit:
This what Meson uses: https://mesonbuild.com/Compiler-properties.html#system-information
Part of the issue is also the hoarding of resources. Instead of investing it back into new markets and advances, corporations are simply letting the resources accumulate. This kills growth as there is little to no incentive to continue purchasing more services and products so things tend to stagnate over time. It also does harm to general society. We’re also reaching an oversaturation of similar companies and products. This is actually a relatively recent trend. A hundred years ago, there were only a handful of large corporations, so they were better able to advance their market as resources were more concentrated. As it was early days, they were focusing a lot on production advancements such as conveyor belts and factory automation. We need to focus more on the people than on the hunt for profits. Society will be much happier. If the world as a whole combines its resources, it will help make up many regional shortcomings but I don’t see that happening anytime soon sadly.
I recently found Beth’s gear store (surprised I didn’t know about it earlier) and wound up getting a Fallout themed backpack. It’s really nice!
Wiki’s got a pretty extensive list, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Microsoft Lots of stuff in there!
Haven’t used Watcom before but I’ve definitely run across it. Can’t forget about Borland, either! It still lives as C++ Builder 🙂
Yeah, I’ll keep an eye out. Did an ISO conversion once using the built-in tools on Windows when I was having some issues with the CD drive twenty-years ago as requested by tech support to test out the drive. Turned out to be a failing drive at the time and the process wasn’t pretty. Had to use a weird xcopy command 😛
Sounds good. I’ve had my copy for a while and there’s always OpenMW as well. Haven’t tried it myself yet 🙂
Looks like he may have disabled new comments some years ago. Maybe he had a spam problem? He’s got some good information!
Have you looked into Hyper-V? Never used it before but it looks like it may be a good native option, even if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. Sadly, it only supports back to W7 from the official list.
I can’t remember if I used VMWare or Virtual Box when I was playing with VMs. Didn’t use it for much, just playing about 😛
While I do have Fallout 3, it’s on disc and I don’t have an external optical drive and would need to buy it again 🙁 I suspect there will be similar problems with 3, though, since New Vegas is mostly a modded 3. I do plan on picking up Fallout 4 at some point but that depends on a sale 😛
Right now, I’m not going to be able to be all that helpful with the Fallout games. 🙁
Sorry for the late response!
We do have a fishing skiff but it’s currently half-baked. Hopefully they do some more work on it in the future 🙂
These are more like rocky planets with a gaseous atmosphere. They’re pretty weird. I guess you could say they’re more akin to Venus that Jupiter? Or a combination.
Cool! Remember browsing AliWeb’s list of links way back when. And looks like Dog Pile is still online! Sadly, it looks like a shadow of its former self. The top search terms include Black Friday which was way back in November 😛
Fun fact: Microsoft acquired the Sierra IP catalog when they purchased Activision a few years back so things have gone full circle 😛
Just ran the code base through cpplint. There’s some overlap but it does do a good job of picking up stuff that needs modernization whereas cppcheck mostly looks for potential problems.
Here’s the log: https://stearnvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/cpplint.zip
I tried to suppress the style warnings but wasn’t able to suppress the readability/braces warning. At some point, I may run the code base through astyle to help ensure that the style is consistent throughout. 🙂
For the updated directory structure, we can draw inspiration from GNOME: https://gitlab.gnome.org/explore
Their projects aren’t entirely consistent but they’re pretty good about following the best practices used in the open source community
GIMP’s in particular is worth a look: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp
Down the road, it may be a good idea to look at translation support using something like gettext
Yeah. I get that they’re a source of revenue but there comes a point where they’re so bad that the site becomes unusable on certain devices. In those cases, I usually go back and read them on the computer where I have uBlock. They also need to turn off auto play. That takes up a lot of battery power. Funny thing is that the outfits complain about people trying to block the ads. Perhaps they shouldn’t use them in ways that make browsing totally obnoxious. I remember back when we ads were just three text links in a Google search. Text ads I can handle as they don’t take up much processing power. Sigh!
Yeah, sorry, that was the best I could come up with. Found a couple of other sites but they were also outdated 🙁
The regional differences can get weird. For the longest time, due to licensing, Samsung wouldn’t release their own devices with their own chips over here in the US. It later was due to them having issues getting them up to par with Qualcomm’s chips
I would be careful ordering that sort of thing from Ali. There are quite a few shady sellers over there and the devices may steal your information. But, yeah, an external device is always an option
Doesn’t appear that the bbPress documentation has something similar. The closest it has is an old guide to styling: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/
The touchscreen on my A7 Lite isn’t as responsive as I like and doesn’t pick up all my finger motions. Probably on account of the low cost screen but it does the job. Still struggles a tad on reading web articles due to it not being able to handle the processing of all the ads, videos, etc that I don’t care about so I may upgrade it at some point now that I’m using it more. Will look into it more when it gets more obnoxious 😛
Looks like Samsung has a list here of their supported devices. Looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2020, though.
More than likely! No platform is perfect, after all. It would help if more of the bbPress bugs were tackled, though! That and more integration 😛
We have something similar called the BBB. The ratings don’t mean much as they just reflect how the business responds to customers but it does help give you a general idea of how doing business with the company will go 🙂
So gas giants in NMS aren’t exactly scientifically accurate. They have a surface! And lakes that you can fish in 😛
Fred Flintstone is so abusive, it’s a wonder that Barney and Wilma put up with him!
Sorry, not a whole lot I can do about the smiley in the spoiler. It’s due to there not being a semantic spoiler tag on the web so browsers don’t understand it’s supposed to be hidden. Maybe one day!
Yeah, a lot of Tarantino films are a bit rough but they’re generally pretty fun. Pulp Fiction will always be his best, though.
Yep, it’s hard to get support on the topic when the thread was closed. Especially if it was a partial solution that you had questions on. This xkcd comic comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/979/
Ugh. We once found up the limit to the number of replies to status updates on IP.Board. I think it was 100 replies per status update? Something like that at any rate 😛
