The Logitech F310 supports both XInput and Direct Input methods of operation via a simple switch on the back of it. It also has a button that swaps the Left Analog Stick with the DPad which is nice for those games that only use the analog stick for movement when the DPad would be more appropriate (like Hollowknight for example).

I found one guy at the end of this thread who claimed that at least since Paint became Paint 3D, it's unable to open any file whose uncompressed size is greater than about 250MB, giving the error you describe.

Looking at the TweakPNG screenshot, your image is 10208 * 14032 pixels, times 3 bytes per pixel gives a total size of ~430MB.

Maybe try scanning at 600dpi or even 300dpi? It won't be as crisp, but should still be quite readable. If you're just scanning invoices to keep a convenient record of them and not scanning hard-drawn art or something, resolution probably doesn't need to be that great.
Interesting, thanks for that information. I had another smaller image with the same issue but after doing some changes in irfanview to bring down the file size the issue disappeared and I now think I know why: The image was converted to 256 colours and some glitchy phenomena in a quadrant of the image was removed which would've dramatically reduced the uncompressed size.

Discord is offline (has been for very nearly an hour now) and everyone is super pissed, maybe.

Edit: Back online now.

It's still open for appeal, but a judge has ruled companies are responsible for public comments made on a social media platform that they are using: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/media-companies-liable-for-facebook-comments-made-by-others-court-finds-20190624-p520rf.html

Aren't most PC games 32bit? Like 70% or 80%? Pretty much every game released in 2009 and earler are 32bit or 16bit and that's a shit load of games... after 2009? We're still frequently getting 32bit games from indie devs and even some Triple AAA Publisher games are released as 32bit software.

see the release notes there
Dangit I was excited for a new release... then slowly realized I already had that version installed. Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Luckily, it'll be a long time before X11 dies completely - XWayland is an X11 server built on top of the Wayland protocol (much like there are X11 servers built on the Windows and macOS APIs). At the moment it's a bit awkward for gaming, since it only supports one resolution (the Wayland desktop resolution), and it doesn't support locking the mouse to a window, so using the mouse to aim the camera in first-person games doesn't really work. However, I believe an extension for that is under development.


How is it an issue? If the program only runs at your desktop resolution than how do you mouse outside it? I suppose the title bar could be an issue. Is there no fullscreen mode?

Well, sure, there are some kludges, but in essence that's how it works, isn't it? Each program has some .dll files shipped with it and it has a folder in the Program Files/ hierarchy. I can't ever remember Firefox or whatever hassling me about dependencies on Windows, except for .NET and friends, but those are practically part of the system anyway.
Most programs will install the dependencies during program installation.

Hmm, interesting. So it stops passing through directional input from the mouse to the running software if the mouse courser hits the edge.

A few years ago there was a really, really popular brand of this device and for the life of me I can't recall what it was, everywhere would suggest getting it though.

Youtube now uses URL redirection for URL's that lead outside of Youtube. You can use this Greasemonkey script to undo the mangling of URL hyperlinks: https://old.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/cdrij9/gamers_nexus_pbo_doesnt_do_what_you_think_it_does/etwns53/

Isn't a better long-term solution to rewrite all your links according to the Redirector addon's patterns, or some such, eliminating the entire class of issues?

Personally, I just do the middle click -> click -> end -> select with mouse -> delete -> CTRL-A -> CTRL-X -> CTRL-V dance. Although it certainly isn't efficient.


For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7NzNi1xX_4 has a URL to an article in the description and it looks like h​ttp​s:/​/ww​w.​gamers​nexus.n​et/gui​des/3​4.​.. but if you try to copy the hyperlink you instead get
htt​ps://ww​w.you​tube.co​m/redirect?v=B7NzNi1xX_4&redir_token=S0SDDU1m404WrxTQ68Gp2-TbOg58MTU2MzM0NTE2NkAxNTYzMjU4NzY2&event=video_description&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamersnexus.net%2Fguides%2F3491-explaining-precision-boost-overdrive-benchmarks-auto-oc

There's no easy way (without a script to unmangle it) to get ht​tps://w​ww.gamersn​exus.ne​t/guides/3491-explaining-precision-boost-overdrive-benchmarks-auto-oc from the video description without undergoing the redirection.

Sounds to me like you should enable the Swap File.

For instance, Google does the same thing for their search results. And I think there's an addon which fixes the redirects (e.g. like Redirector, but with a default list like (Ad|u)Block). But I don't think there's any addons which rewrite the URLs in situ.
Yeah I use https://github.com/palant/searchlinkfix

Yeah I was confused at first too. Disabling the Swap File should be resulting in Windows closing programs as you run out of memory/programs crashing, with the entire purpose of the Swap File being to avoid that behaviour.

Purging is typically what video games do, even if you have plenty of RAM to store everything in because devs weirdly code an upper limit to how much RAM a program can use or something? (I can understand purging stuff from VRAM as needed since it's more difficult and more expensive to upgrade the capacity of VRAM)

Oh, and as for N64's graphics APIs: supposedly, they map very well to the archaic Glide API, which in turn has shims for OpenGL and friends. So that could very well be a way to go at it. On the other hand, then you get 2+ layers of stacked shims, so that could have all sorts of problems.
The best graphics plugins for N64 emulators use Glide wrappers for OpenGL.

I... thought that one used a Glide Wrapper like it's predecessor. Neat that it doesn't.
