Marcan's latest tirade against hardware video decoding tl;dr: "You're Doing It Wrong™, Apple Silicon CPUs are too powerful, they can decode every codec ever on software and you won't miss hardware decoding, trust me on this bro, I don't care that you're coming from some slowass x86 that needed to be pushed off a cliff to decode video" Does Marcan have a background on the anime scene!? Because that's the same shit you would get from those stupid encoders still using Hi10P in 2024 (yes, the same profile that no hardware ever will decode, except for some Rockchip tablet SoCs... and the Apple Silicon HW decoders!) All this because users are asking about the state of hardware decoding support on Asahi Linux (which is actually WIP, but nothing you can use yet). An acceptable, reasonable, comprehensible answer would have been "We're working on it, it's a rather complex part of Apple Silicon, and we have other bigger priorities right now but we WILL tackle that one when the time comes on. In the meanwhile, software decoding should work fine for most formats out there". But nope, this is Marcan, and he loves to stir the shit :/ Gotta love when developers say "your use case doesn't exist, go away"... |

Posted by tomman Continuing with the tradition: GET #8M: a cropped shot of some vtuber in a swimsuit - August 14th, 2024 >6 years -> <4 years -> <3 years -> >2 years -> 17 months -> 13 months -> 11 months -> 8 months If I were a statistics jockey, I would be already plotting a nice LINE GOES UP graph, but I can now safely predict that the 9 millonth Danbooru post is due within the next 6 months at this speed. |

Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy One bug. Many games. All the platforms. Most notably, this also includes the first legit X360 softmod in, like, ever. (Sadly no hypervisors are being breached this time, but unsigned code is still welcome) Remember kids: get some massive air, and smash some stacks! |

Posted by tommanThat does look quite nice. Good luck getting a working Socket 7 board to put in it. |
| tomman |
The Socket 7 revival project is going well... Yes, that's my first time painting a PC case. Primer is expensive and that top cover had like 30 coats of ugly beige, so if I close my eyes hard, I'll pretend it's primer... Also, turns out "400ml" of "Matt Black" (sic) spray paint isn't really enough for this job. Still, I like the finish, although I would like to redo some icky spots where dust settled while paint was drying, or when the can decided to run out of everything. I do actually like how the beige drive faceplates stand on the now all-black case, so I may or may not replace the drives or paint the faceplates too. All the project now needs is a *proper* PCShits mobo. My M571s are still deader than dead, so is my M538, and the only thing I could find amazingly was a M537DMA33... with bad cache, broken disk DMA, and an apparent allergy to soundcards. |

Posted by tomman GET #7M: some girl from a random Chinese cellphone game... with a "do not use this for training your AI!" warning - December 19th, 2023 >6 years -> <4 years -> <3 years -> >2 years -> 17 months -> 13 months -> 11 months Wow, two million milestones in a single year. I guess reaching the 10 millionth post by 2024 doesn't sound that farfetched anymore. Now, if there just were more translators too... so much fun posts and comic strips/books stuck at the "translation_request" hell... |
| tomman |
Spotted today at a local supermarket: - Translation: "We've got an update for you". Literal translation: "We're about to screw you badly!" - Normally those price scanners are WinCE appliances (in this country, usually made by Symbol/Motorola), but this supermarket picked full fat Win10 PCs for it. WHY. - Yes, that's a legit Dell 5:4 refurbished display, which is extra fun considering that this specific supermarket only opened for business barely a year ago. Someone made a good deal buying all the cheap old junk they could find~ - The ad on the background is for bleach, a drink that should be served in extra large servings at Microsoft's HQ to those responsible of this abomination! |

Who is your favorite superhero, and why is it Captain Zilog? http://offthebeatenpanel.blogspot.com/2013/08/unusual-heroes-captain-zilog-1-zilog.html?m=1 And the 2010 relaunch is still on Zilog's website. http://www.zilog.com/captain_zilog/ |

Complete sets are complete (please no more surprises, Central Bank of Venezuela!) - That's ~$26 at current exchange rates... albeit I paid almost that solely on the replacements alone! - Those 3 coins (worth ~$0.05) were a total waste of metal - nobody uses them and they were barely issued! - Your approximate odds to find a replacement per denomination: ~0.0003%, ~0.003%, ~0.002%, ~0.002%, ~0.0002. - Russian security printers love to skip letters for no good reason at all, but they're consistent on that (note the missing D-series on both the 20 and 50-bolivar notes). - That very dirty C-series 10-bolivar note was the second toughest overall to find, as they issued less than 100 thousand pieces! WHY. - Want all of them mint uncirculated? Abandon all hope then. |

Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a Gateway OEM small form factor PC with a riser card and a proprietary PSU for most stuff from the era that gameports were still in use. At least it uses a 440BX chipset, and I was able to make a Voodoo3 I got free a decade ago fit into it by modifying the bracket. I do like the mixture you've got going on in there. I'd kill for a horizontal full ATX case that I could stack stuff on top of, though. |

I call this abomination "The Anti-Sleeper™" It began life 12 years ago or so as a i5-660 (according to the sticker on the base of the case from the refubrisher), but it now houses... a PCChips M756LMRT with swollen caps, a dead network port, a flaky VGA port, and of course, Windows Me. When some rando MercadoLibre seller was dumping those cases "complete with cables and PSU" for just $20 + free shipping, I couldn't resist (and of course, MercadoLibre found a way to rain in my parade because of course they suck ass). At least Lenovo keeps the IBM ThinkCentre tradition of not building their cases out of pure Chinesium (mine was Hecho En MEXICO™), and actually using standard parts (like ATX mobos and PSUs) on their non-SFF systems~ |

New year, new Touhou game, and as it has become tradition, ZUN needs your baka gaijin monies for BEER: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2400340/__Unfinished_Dream_of_All_Living_Ghost/ ...but apparently he has been drinking harder things, judging by the Class of '23: let's meet the new girls! - A grape-flavored stalker eggplant that badly wants to bang her boss - - Dog with... bear traps as hands - Another oni - "Aunn and Shion had a child in Hell and she turned into a crackhead" Oh, and Orin is now playable, for the first time EVER... And Seiran. And the Gouyoku Alliance trio. And the two resident vixens: Ran and... Tsukasa!?!?!?!? Sure, this is a PoFV-style game, but WTF ZUN. |

| Nicholas Steel | Geforce 7000 was also the last series to natively support Table Fog and 8-bit Palletized Textures. Which is at least partially why some old games look worse than they should on newer graphics cards. |
