Looks like there are some candidates from the usual unpronounceable suspects on Jeff’s Evil Emporium. Judging by the accompanying videos, the black print looks decent, the colours come out pretty pale. Oh well, for €10 I reckon it’s worth a try. (I’m thinking of using it for Lego models.)

That looks awesome. Can you print on clear labels too? Or does that end up looking naff?

I take it you have continuous ventilation in your office, which is good, or it’s quite a large room - if we don’t open our bedroom door wide or open the window, it’ll climb to >2000ppm overnight.

What do you reckon is the Venn diagram of the people against doing anything to protect against H5N1 versus those who blame the Chinese for not doing enough to contain Covid early on?

FAT16 is the limiting factor IIRC, and the limit there arises from the product of max block size and max block index I believe. (And those in turn are near UINT16_MAX and INT16_MAX)

(That is, aside from the occasional unforced error, which also seem to be getting rarer… However, my serve is still all over the place, so I guess I need to work on that for the "getting into the rally" part.)

Our Miele dishwasher has that in the form of “AutoDos” cartridges. It’s convenient, but I’m less keen on the amount of plastic used to make each cartridge. At least when I buy tabs, those come in a big cardboard box of 75 or so.

I played Primal, it definitely did it! I’m pretty sure it’s the only one that did it of the Far Cry games that I’ve played though. But then I think it’s also the only one with a base-building and explicit allied population count mechanic, so it’s an outlier in a bunch of ways.

IIRC, Far Cry: Primal did recaps of the story so far on the load screen. It didn’t remind you of any important gameplay elements you may have forgotten since you last picked it up though.

Of course, this kind of escalation is what some camps within the trumpists have explicitly been wishing for. Steve Bannon, disaster capitalists, the 6th Jan crowd, etc. Some of the disaster capitalists might be getting cold feet in light of current events.

Also, seriously, “the theater named after him reminds me of Steve, but other things too.” Really?! That's the best you could come up with? Who will pass the Turing Test first, Apple Intelligence or Tim Cook?

I’m no longer personally involved with that world; I do occasionally hear things such as mobile games being about 10 years behind AAA budget wise, but steadily closing the gap. I don’t have any actual sources for that though.

It would be interesting to compare the revenue graph with stats for budget-per-title. If budgets are outstripping sales, it doesn’t really matter if sales are booming.

Why, you may ask? Well, QEMU is much more flexible hardware wise. Like passing USB devices through to the VM.

Here’s the technical deep dive on this accursed problem
gitlab.com/qemu-project...
And here the suggested patch
patchew.org/QEMU/2024120...
Anyway in combination with the VMApple patch set you can run arm64 macOS 12 in QEMU without major issues.

Even when you do just figure it out or hear about it for the first time, the correct response is to treat you as one of the lucky ten thousand. xkcd.com/1053/

On the plus side, if you interpret the specification in a particular way and adjust QEMU's code to follow that interpretation, everything springs into life and (virtual) USB devices work as expected. Which is, you know, nice. Being able to use a keyboard and mouse to control it.

Go is what happens when people think the problem with Java is that it’s not C-like enough.
