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... |

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. |

While doing some research on old GPUs with interfaces for dinosaur configs, these were my findings: - Last greatest AGP GPUs: ATi Radeon HD4670 (R700/TeraScale 1), nVidia GeForce 7950GT (Curie) - Last greatest conventional PCI GPUs: Radeon X1550 (R500), GeForce GT520/GT610 (Fermi) Support for Win9x/Me ended at: - Radeon 9xxx (R300): none of the X-series PCIe R300s have drivers available from AMD, so you're limited to AGP 9xxx-series only, and in the case of conventional PCI, the road ends at the lowly R200-based 9250 (but only on Win98/Me) since ATi never made R300 chips for PCI cards. - GeForce 6 Series (Curie): while 7 Series is also Curie, nVidia choose to leave Win9X users on the Siberian cold by not supporting those cards on this platform. The entire 6 Series is fully supported on Win9x, in all available interfaces. ATi dumped ol' PCI real fast (after the 9250, only one more PCI chip came from them, the X1550), while they kept AGP alive until late '00s, when the final 46x0s came out from the factory. On the flip side, nVidia played the opposite game: they dumped AGP as early as 7-series, but kept releasing low-end PCI cards until Fermi, where the final release was the GT610, which actually was a rebadged GT520 for marketing reasons. All of those cards are now collectors' items - good luck finding one, working, and at a reasonable price! |

So reddit users are currently planning to temporarily shut down / not moderate subreddits (similar to what StackExchange is currently doing) because of planned API usage changes. There's talk about alternative sites, even ones that are new but are already looking technologically quite mature, for example lemmy. |

Mischievous NPM Publications OK, now that's something absolutely evil shit, and yet another reason I'll not be adding NPM (or Javascript anything) to my resume anytime soon. Who in the hell let the Three Mischievous Fairies of Light have publishing rights to NPM!? |

Posted by creaothceann WebGPU is the new WebGL. That means it is the new way to draw 3D in web browsers. It is, in my opinion, very good actually. It is so good I think it will also replace Canvas and become the new way to draw 2D in web browsers. In fact it is so good I think it will replace Vulkan as well as normal OpenGL, and become just the standard way to draw, in any kind of software, from any programming language. (emphasis mine) ...I stopped reading right there. Good luck forcing AAA++++ gamedevs to build their flagships in webshit. Thanks but no thanks. Posted by creaothceann Now this is more down my alley: I thought only IBM bothered using Phoenix' BEER and PARTIES HPA bullfuckery! (everyone here that had to deal with old ThinkPads or ThinkCentres know what I'm talking about). Apparently not, because Samsung -in true Korean software fashion- had some really bizarre ideas there. On the brighter side, if it runs Linux it has to be jailbroken because YES~~~ |
