Great article. I particularly enjoyed the approach to creating gibs. Although it was a tech demo, I created something like this around the mid 90s. One thing I did that I don't see mentioned in this article was I used…
UT2k4 had software rending support via the Pixomatic software renderer from RAD Game Tools: https://www.radgametools.com/pixo/PixoWithUnreal2004.txt Further discussion about it here:…
To install Windows 11 with a local user and/or to install it without the TPM 2.0 requirement, what I found easiest was using Rufus to prepare a flash drive with the Windows 11 ISO. Rufus asks if you want to create a…
Install the browser extension Unhook. It hides all recommended YouTube videos, so when you watch a video you aren't looking at a bunch of other videos to watch. It's very customizeable, so you can choose what to hide.…
I gave Firefox a try for a month, but ran into enough issues that I ended up switching back to Chrome about a week ago. Here are some of the problems I encountered that I can recall at the moment and doesn't include the…
If this case reaches the Supreme Court, one key consideration is the potential pressure to support the growth of U.S. AI companies. Rather than imposing strict legal restrictions that could hinder their ability to…
I'm surprised that AIMP hasn't been mentioned yet. It's also a great old school audio player that was released back in 2006. I transitioned to it when Winamp development was fizzling out. Not sure when that was but I've…
I'm no coffee chemistry expert either, but the following article indicates that the main adenosine receptor antagonists are caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, all of which are found in coffee, tea, and chocolate…
I took 1 mg of molybdenum daily for about 3 weeks and then tested out drinking coffee. By this point I had tried many other interventions that did not help. I wasn't expecting the molybdenum to help but figured it was…
There are stimulating compounds in coffee other than caffeine, so I've pondered that people who find decaf stimulating may be reacting to some of these other compounds. Another consideration is that people seem to often…
I'll add some more info to my post. Caffeine is a purine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine). A Google Scholar search for "molybdenum purine" will come up with many studies discussing how molybdenum is involved in…
I had a similar problem. Coffee, decaf, even dark chocolate would be very stimulating and would mess with my sleep, even a single cup in the morning. I tried quite a few things to solve this and ended up discovering…
Thanks for the info!
How long did it take to see significant improvement and how long did it take before you figured you had restored perfect function? Can you elaborate on what you ate?
This one hurts... I visited the Living Computer Museum in 2017 and it was amazing. Here's a selection of some photos I took: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VUVXQ1cG3zWAMWY3A My favorite photo here is the one of the Xerox…
Every time I try Krita I bounce off of it because the controls are too different from Photoshop. For my relatively simple use cases, Krita could be a replacement for Photoshop, which I've been using on and off for…
The article mentions this, but housing is so much more expensive now that it's by far the largest cost for some people depending on where they live. For example, my father's first house was less than 2x his annual…
I just ran into the same thing. Using Chrome dev tools I deleted the overlays prompting me to enter info and that revealed the user menu at the top right. First, I changed my email address to a throwaway address since I…
Here's my personal experience switching from Plex to Jellyfin. Everyone's needs are different, but, for me, Jellyfin has been a much better experience. I used Plex for years and always hated it. It didn't let me…
According to the CDC, 80-90% of lung cancer deaths are linked to cigarette smoking (1). It seems like a simple solution for people to just not smoke... (1) https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/basic_info/risk_factors.htm#....
I've never liked the English language trailers they use. The Japanese ones are pretty cool and worth checking out. Here are a couple examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Lp3rRjtfk…
There were two potential concerns about accounts and one of them has been resolved: 1. Requiring an FB account resulted in users who were banned on FB not being able to use their Quests. This has been resolved since…
The 4060 (non-ti) has only 8GB of ram, which is less than its predecessor, the 3060, which had 12GB and came out in Feb 2021. I wonder if this is unprecedented? For anyone not really following the current issues with…
I agree with the sentiment that the devices aren't being supported for long enough but thought I'd mention that you can install LineageOS on a Nexus 7 and get OS and software updates. According to Google, Pixel tablets…
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has an impressive track record. They are positioned incredibly well right now with the AI boom and demand for their AI technology which they've been developing for many years.
