Hardly, mostly because of the lack of ease for doing so and the fact that I usually want to add something in more than just text when I'm allowed do so. |

I did mention this to NinCollin in Discord but Kak's branch of it runs fine on PHP 8.x. I know because I literally ran into the same problem when I jumped from one version of Linux to the other on ABXD (which is dead) and found out just how much PHP 8.x breaks everything AB.
Running it now on PHP 8.3.6 / Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and it's been fine. Might be worth a note for later on. Not sure how simple it would be to port over though, if you considered it, but Kak helped me port over my ABXD to an archive so you might get in touch to see if he'd be willing to help out. |

I might not be involved with people on a daily basis, but I have seen a lot of people in my almost-37 years, so I understand where you're coming from. People have enough things to be worried in their day to day, especially when it comes to work and finances, so being able to figure out things like how a computer operates would be kinda difficult to do.
That last part holds especially true. Even if we know a lot of things, there's still a lot of unknown left to discover. So we can't know truly everything. |

Considering I deal with 'normal' people on a day-to-day basis...I can understand why they might. They have priorities outside of keeping track of how a computer works in their day-to-day, no different than a lot of people drive a car until it drops. We're different because we're largely comfortable with being able to go so far as use one to talk over a message forum with BBCode and HTML usage. I'd say 95% of my clientele would freeze up attempting to remember how to do any of that out of fear of breaking something or struggling to understand how to apply and remember what it is they're being told. It's why I'll always have a job and why the repair industry, in general, will never die.
No one person is going to understand algebra to zen completely so I have sympathy for people who have other things they excel at in life. The people that believe they know more when they clearly don't and...well...those are the people that have issues. |

Posted by Hiryuu That lines up with a lot of things I've been told, honestly, and I'm glad I never went down that route. I'm cynical by nature, so this does not surprise me. It does sadden me that, to this day, many people still fall for the same ol' trap, even if it's literally all the third party AVs really have left, in terms of retaining any kind of relevancy. |

A lot of third-party AV solutions went down that route once Secure Boot started showing that the vast majority of intrusions anymore, these days anyways, are exclusive in Outlook and your browser. And in-browser crap is mostly scamware crap. The amount of scams and otherwise social engineering jobs increased exponentially following the death of master boot record viruses.
If you can't put a virus on a machine, pretend to. People that know no better will believe it and they do. Especially if you attach flashing lights, loud sounds and Microsoft [tm] to the scam and tell them if they don't call x phone number that they lose everything they never backed up. Very simple, very effective. That's the vast majority of my 'malware' jobs these days. |

Posted by Hiryuu I mostly just run that nowadays, plus some more protection just in case. Simple but effective. Also, I've heard some... really shady things about Norton as of late, so I would never trust Norton, even if it's the only thing you'd have. |

I was just told by the person who compiled the SMAS-style level breakdown for SMB that the new $BA RAM flag was a flag created specifically for the underwater scene in world 8-4 in both SMB and SMBLL, which although it has the map type of underwater it keeps the palette and music attributes related to the castle level, hence why we're hearing the castle level music here.

Thanks. I worked on that one way too long. I really should go back to Tetr.io and give it a shot one day to see if I can bring my old 1:12 down to something closer to what I get in Apo. I do have a better response monitor for it now so it might not be a bad thing to try eventually.
Playthrough of Contra. Very casually (23/30 lives left). |

I'm gonna be that person and say 'you really don't need third-party AV in this day and age'.
Windows Security and uBlock Origin in your browser of choice. That's literally it these days. If it was before 2019 or something then I might think otherwise. |

Night. Exceptionally classic theme that I pretty much go-to on any AB incarnation, if it has it.
Green Night is a nice alternative. |

I'll believe it. Those running standard fans wouldn't kick those on until about 90C. I found that out when I played The Last of Us in a heavy area and saw my fans kick on full throttle for the first time before I placed CFW on it. Come to find out, it was near meltdown when it happened. Thankfully, I had some sense to save, turn it off, and let it cool down so it didn't do that.
Years later, when I took it apart, I took a look at the CPU die itself and the label for it and the RSX had pretty much melted off over time. It didn't melt the die cover itself completely but enough to fade the text all the way. |

Probably the revision to the PS3 if only for the fact that the old fat was largely prone to overheat failures. Those old GT 7800 90mm's were notorious for failures and ran hot. I've got a PS3 fat that I saved, dropped firmware on, re-greased and everything and it's one of those I have to run with the fans at about half because of just how hot it gets...except in my case it's the CPU that's got runaway heat. It really is one of those that qualify for de-lidding but I'm afraid of breaking it so I just run it under 75C before the fans really kick in and pray for the best. It mostly accomplishes this so long as I don't do PS2 emulation. Once I do that, then it really starts to kick in.
Plus side is if I need that I have a PS2 slim that I have modded that I could just do with instead through ethernet. Not the fastest ethernet, granted, but it does the job better than USB 1.1 on the front for front-loading a bunch of ISOs. |

Posted by Ravenfreak Agreed 1000%. Not to mention, the original GBA felt very clunky, at least for my hands. It also wasn't good to carry around, either, and that's not even mentioning the lighting issues that came with it, forcing you to have a lighting accessory on you. I also had the same gripes with the original DS, as well, though the original DS model solved the lighting issues the OG GBA model had. |

Posted by Hiryuu Damn, nice! Congrats! Hitting new milestones in Tetris always feels amazing. I kinda wish I still cared about guideline stuff tho, because last I knew I was less than half a second off sub 50s myself on Tetr.io, but alas, TGM has captured my heart and I'm simply not fast enough, in brain or hands, to be GM worthy in the sequels. ____________________ Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a night.

Posted by SCD I'm not really either. I just beat my head against a wall until I finally kinda understood what I was doing. Give it a try, maybe it won't make sense this time, but if you come back to it and try again, you'll get it eventually. ____________________ Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a night.

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately I'm not an expert on debugging, along with using ASM as well.
Sorry about this. |
