Re: I'm a "Hamma"

Congrats!

I think I can safely say at this point that I will never have grandkids or kids :)

I bet if you ever did go back they wouldn't make the same mistake :lol: How about the dressing used in Big Macs?

They do look good, they'd fit right in in a lot of games.

Since you're not going back to that DLC, here's what the last 5 mins of it looks like, including Chorizo vomiting up an alternate reality slug creature :)

Full Screen Ads For Windows 11

During a meeting this morning I had a large (but not full screen) ad pop up on my work Windows 10 laptop. It was for some Microsoft service, I was only in a meeting at the time and on a different screen, but if I had been working that would have covered up my work area on that screen. It reminded me...

Re: heh... my qemu still runs

I got it to work via Proxmox (also uses qemu) to install a Windows 11 VM. There it's just a matter of adding a virtual TPM module in the hardware section of the web GUI. Similar in Virt-Manager.

I was glad when that DLC was finally over lol! It gets more frantic near the end but you get access to much better weapons.

Re: Twitter

That happened to me when work switched me from using their remote virtual machine to the laptop. Their VM was based in Texas or Florida, and right after I started using the laptop I got a message from the client facilities IT department about the change in location, and I had to change my password.

Re: Twitter

Yeah a lot of people will click on the link in the email rather than going directly to the site. At the top of the notification it says "attempt" so maybe they didn't succeed. Back in those days my passwords weren't nearly as strong as now so I wasn't sure what I'd find. I don't see any ac...

I've never used Twitter, back when it first started I created an account but never used it. Lately I've been getting email notifications that someone has been trying access my account. The same thing happened once with my old apple account which I also don't use (I used it for iTunes about 20 years ...

Intel 13th & 14th Gen Game Instability

We may have dodged a bullet by going with 12th gen. Owners of Intel’s latest 13th and 14th Gen Core i9 desktop processors have been noticing an increase in game crashes in recent months. It’s happening in games like The Finals, Fortnite, and Tekken 8, and has even led Epic Games to issue a support n...

Re: Solve one ESD problem discover another

It's been a while but most likely some of them were MSI. One of them was a Supermicro board which only started doing that after I flashed the BIOS in an attempt to solve another issue. My Gigabyte board was $170 US, so about $235 CA. It solved all the issues I had with the MSI board and gave me more...

I have had an occasional machine that would immediately start back up after shutting it down, it was very annoying. I had to reach back and use the power supply switch to keep it off.

Both of your builds look great! I like the subtle lighting in your main system. These newer cases are sure forcing us to do clean cable management. I never used to bother with that lol!

In the past I often used Gimp, it loads PDF's as regular images that I'd edit, then export out as a PDF again. It was a bit cumbersome but it worked.
