Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.
The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.
Wait what?
So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?
Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.
This is awesome. Didn’t know there were ESP32 with integrated e-ink screens.
I still miss a cheap ESP32 device that can run on an18650 or two for a longer period.
I recommend you shrink the windows partition on the internal drive and install Linux in the then empty space. The extra disk you have can be used as and extra disk or you can create mount points for /home and other directories.
Microsoft does not recognize other operating systems as “equals” (WSL is not Linux being week. It’s making Linux a puppet controlled by Windows) and therefore they design everything Windows as it was the only OS in the world. Therefore keeping Windows will often require some extra acrobatics from you.
This repository and its releases do not contain game assets. The original game is required to build or run this project.
Nintendo might try but there wouldn’t be much substance in such claim.
Unable to understand and/or admit that both sides can be bad. It’s ok to admit the “your team” did some nasty shit and it doesn’t in any way cancel out what the other “team” did.
Also, Winning an argument doesn’t in any way make you a winner. Actually, an argument that someone “won” often doesn’t lead to a change for the better or even make anyone convinced that your arguments were valid.
What’s is the main topic of your blog?
Porn (“Pornography”)
Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement.
While this might be food, there’s literally nothing exciting in that picture.
Said no one ever about porn.
Yup. /r/Datahoarder guided me right. Got two of the recommended model of MyBook and shucked them. This was 2-3 years ago. Disks are still going strong in my NAS.
That’s $80 per kg.
That’s exactly the opposite of how religion works and the reason why I firmly believe that there should be a clear separation between state and church.
People can believe in whatever delusions they want as long as they don’t force them on me.
Yeah and Titanic was unsinkable.
If the controller in your SSD fries, it doesn’t matter how many unused gigabytes your SSD has got for relocating bad sectors. It is still fried. For you, that data is forever gone.
This is why you have redundancy. Full redundancy. You can go for RAID1, one disk die and you still have no data loss, or go bananas with RAID6, two full disks can die and you’re still going strong.
Ps. Spinning harddrives have had hidden sectors used for relocation of bad sectors for ages. It’s nothing new. If you have to much time on your hand, Google harddrive hidden sectors nsa.
Wall of text, I know, but I had trouble sleeping so… Yeah… Here goes;
Knowledge is power.
Here in Sweden there’s a service that has been pouring money on marketing the last two years. The service is called House ID and they let you store all important documents about your house for free… Free… Free?
So what will they make money on?
Well, let’s jump 10 years into the future and just imagine the possibilities.
Criminals can easily check what house owners have upgraded their locks or purchased home alarm systems. They could even purchase data about all the houses in an area that has a specific lock type with a known flaw.
Your phone is, with all its sensors, a fantastic surveillance device and people happily take it with them wherever they go.
In the 90’s, when I worked for IBM, the buzzword was “Data mining”. Ordinary people never understood what it was and I was often asked about it. Extremely simplified: look at the data you have and try to read between the lines to generate data that you originally didn’t have.
The biggest chain of convenient stores in Sweden launched banking services and a pay card around this time. If you used the card for grocery shopping you’d get a monthly bonus and great offers and discounts. So I gave an innocent example of what your purchase data could be used for. They could see that a woman purchased pads on fairly the same time each month or quarter. Now, when cross checking this with purchase history from other women they could see that a lot of those women also purchased chocolate at the same time they purchase pads. Something something with a lot of women getting cravings of chocolate around the same time each month. Yes, it’s a generalization but still a real life example in this case. So they sent out coupons for chocolate, matching the time around when the customer normally purchased pads, and what do you know? The sale of chocolate increased. Significantly.
Now, pads isn’t a very sensitive subject of you’re older than 15… But think what data Tinder registers. They can’t know for sure if you’re liberal, conservative or even a communist… or can they? By looking at your behavior in their app, what you did, where (Tinder uses GPS, remember?) you did it and when you did it, they can draw conclusions about a lot of things that you never intended to share with them.
Today there are sensors placed strategically in shopping malls that registers what store windows you stopped to look at. They actually know, with a pretty high certainty, exactly what product in the window that caught your attention. How they can be so accurate you say? Because you have Bluetooth activated and the mall app installed. They just triangulate your exact position.
All of this is data about you that is correct. You did all of that and it was registered.
But what if corrupted data was registered? What if that data was the basis for you getting a loan for your dream house? How do you correct a conclusion that is obviously wrong when the bank just tells you that what data they purchase, from who and how they process it is a business secret and they refuse to share any details.
Now, all sorts of data has always been collected but in the old time it was stored on paper and cross comparison/compiling data was an expensive and tedious task. Today it is not. Today your phone could store and process data that would take months to process in the old times.
That slowness/inertia acted as a law of nature, protecting us and our life from being mapped.
It’s not just that data is collected or what data is collected… It’s what it might be used for that should bother you. Not only what is used for today but also what it could be used for tomorrow.
It’s concerning that you insinuate that 20 year old hardware just works in Linux.
Just because a 20 year old sound card happens to work in your favorite Linux distro doesn’t in any way mean that it will work forever or that there are drivers for all 20 year old soundcards.
Where does it say that it’s not allowed to create a Windows driver for a 20 year old soundcard?
To be honest, it was ages ago I started up wine so I’m the wrong person to ask.
I’m a dual booter, best of two worlds, full support from vendors and no compatibility problems is my preferred way
Normally it’s not lack of Windows compatibility breaking the use of an application with wine, it’s the frameworks and libraries the application was built with/need to have access to.
So check what additional libraries and stuff your application have as a prerequisite. Visual C 2005? 2010? DotNet framework? Which version? And so on.
When you know what the application needs, then you can Google for “wine DotNet 4.5” (just an example) to get a feeling what problems people had and how they solved it.
Essentially wine needs to know where to find them when you start your application with/in wine.
Also, if your application uses MSSQL Express or similar, you might be out of luck. So if that’s the case you should start googling on how to get that running (if even possible) before installing.
Good luck, be stubborn and make sure to have fun. There’s a lot you’ll learn in this adventure of yours that will come in handy again and again in the future.
Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?
I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.
Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.
Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…
It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.
I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…
Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.
