@petmac Nah, I think you're safe if you stay on 10. My PC is also too old for 11 and I'm no hurry to upgrade. It runs NES games just fine.

Having to DFU revive my MBP again so I can install the 12.7.5 point release.

I have a bad feeling about this.

When I read about Microsoft Recall, my first reaction was "How can I delete it?".

I now realise this has been my first reaction to many "innovations" in Windows in recent years.

They should have stopped at 7.

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@stuart Indeed. I count that as the first good one. It was the one where I switched to Windows as a daily driver.

If anyone wonders why I moved to Godot, it's probably because it's the only engine that's a first class citizen on Linux...

@klord The comments on this are … consistent.

@farah I'd want someone else to do the writing stuff.

Apple ScreenTime is such frustrating semi-functional garbage. As a company, are consistently not good at Cloud.

I watched Godzilla Minus One last night. I'm going to give Godzilla X Kong a go tonight which is, I'm sure, exactly the same.

Pinkzilla x Mecha-Kong

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

Well, GxK went as expected.

I really liked the 2014 Godzilla, it felt like one of the old movies. It’s all gone a bit Hollywood CGI-fest since then. Might as well watch a cartoon.

I had intended to Do Stuff on the game, but I've just finished up all the other Stuff at 10pm on Sunday so I think that's beer and a movie time instead. Weekends are too full, and too short.

Huh, my AliExpress mini-pc is "with the local delivery company". That's about a week ahead of the delivery date AE gave originally ... or ... it depends who the delivery company is, I suppose.

Any of my peeps here know something about the First Samurai’s copy protection code seemingly rts-ing into Kickstart memory at 0xFE85CA ?

Known trick? Me reading the code wrong?

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@chexum @didier Yep, this is the documented bootblock process.

Boy at an activity day at a forest park. Kinda wish I’d dressed for a hike, but I’ve got a shady spot to sit for an hour or so and it’s not all bad.

Proper Heisenbug has appeared with the bob clipping. Goes weird if I remove debug log line 🤦🏻‍♂️

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

Has to be a compiler bug? The generated code looks weird (muls #-2 wat?!) and the bug goes away if I disable -O3. Bah.

I guess this is what you get when you don't hand-pick every CPU instruction like an artisan.

~27 mile ride after work. Hard going at the start, it's been hard to shake the tiredness in recent weeks. But ... surprised myself by actually getting up the hills I've avoided so far this year, and found some legs at the end.

Eating for the rest of the evening now.

Apparently I'm supposed to make a video and powerpoint of the nopilot hackathon effort this week. Will the fun never cease?

@didier I used an AI voice generator for the video :)
