I have one Windows 10 system on 1909 that works fine as it is. I tried updating to 20H2 and it killed my analog capture card - half the ports weren't recognized and the others ran at like a third of the right framerate - so I reverted. Then good ol Windows tried to push the update anyways, so...

Sort of an odd story, sort of a warning? But this is the first I've seen of it. I bought a RAM upgrade for my PC last week from ebay (many will groan, but there are plenty of legit sellers), it arrived quickly and looked fine (though I noticed a bit of uncharacteristic tarnish on the contacts...

Made a post as normal by hitting reply and using the normal post editor (not the quick one), made the post as normal, and for some reason, this was on the line under what I wrote. I don't think I blacked out and actually wrote it myself, so there may be something up with the code for the post box.

I thought companies were smart enough not to do this (or at least not to admit to it, damn) :bleh: https://www.techpowerup.com/226069/microsoft-entering-agreements-with-laptop-makers-to-block-linux

Have had an LG G3 for a bit now, decent phone. I think I may have rooted it early on for an app or two, but it was getting OTA updates and while stumproot said it was rooted, SuperSU didn't and neither did one of the recovery screens. Was running normal OTA of Marshmallow with no issues...

What a pain in the ass. I didn't have a controller and they announced that the newest controllers to be released alongside the One S would finally use bluetooth and don't require a $30 or something dongle... so I figured I would give it a shot. Required Windows 10, so I upgraded at the end of...

A Sci-Fi Grand Strategy/4X hybrid from Paradox, launched today at $40. I usually like 4x space games, so after seeing a little bit of play on a stream and a bit more on youtube, I shelled out for it. Haven't really put time into it yet, but it looks rather comprehensive (unsurprisingly), but...

rVlhMGQgDkY Fancy robot doing fancy things (for a robot), but also a human mistreating that robot in the name of science and showing off algorithms. It's a slippery slope down that path to complete subjugation of the human race by our angry robot overlords. PSA: Don't shove robots, they...

Wasn't having this problem last time I searched, maybe it's on my end, but every time I search, the most recent threads are always from 2013 or earlier (and I've checked with generic search terms that should have plenty of recent hits)... so I've basically never found what I was actually looking...

V1eivQNtulE I've been following the youtube channel for a while for electronic related stuff, and this is basically a presentation to an amateur radio meetup, but this guy has some amazing stories to tell about his flight around the world in a helicopter (pre GPS/sat phone). Also talks about...

RimWorld is a SciFi themed management game that borrows heavily from Dwarf Fortress and has an art style quite similar to Prison Architect (but it's done by different people). Currently in alpha (for about a year and a half), done by a small independent studio, and getting updates every month...

After some past mentions and crowdsourcing ideas for the kickstarter tiers (I herd you like crowdsourcing in your crowdsourcing) their kickstarter is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin-2 355k/500k part way through the first day. Looks like they're...

Sounds fascinating, right? So over the last 3 weeks I wrote this program in java, and as a baseline release, I'm pretty happy with this. It can simulate out up to a 100x100x10 cell world including heat and light modeling, and then organisms can follow their set of rules based off their...

So I'm coding up something that involves 3d space, and while I've been pretty good so far, when I started generating vectors to go in every direction, I thought I set things up right, but the result doesn't give me what I expected. I figure there's at least a handful of people here with much...

Something I've noticed for a couple weeks now, certain banner ads mean I have to click back multiple times. I remember this being a problem before and then it seemed to go away.... however some of these require 3 back clicks to get out and it gets annoying. This is one example and when you...
