It's only fair.

The real question is: did it work?

I use ipv6 when possible but it's rarely possible. I've never had home internet that was ipv6 ready enough for my wan address when googling "what's my ip" to be something besides an ipv4 number.

Could I get ipv6 over otherwise non ipv6 compatible hardware using a vpn?

More states are banning porn. Anyone that doesn't already have a locally hosted ai porn generator is just asking for blue balls at this point.

I wonder what would happen if you tried to run a soundblaster 16 on Linux. Would it work and how shitty would the sound quality be?

Another part of it is the gpu bios. The gpu bios contains x86 opcodes that it expects the host system to run for gpu-specific functions like video mode switching and probably lots of other stuff. I know that Vesa bios extensions mode switching requires a pointer to the functions in the gpu bios which the cpu runs. I tried to make a platform independent Vesa driver one time and couldn't figure out how to circumvent using the gpu bios for it since the functions you're supposed to call are compiled for x86. Even the well-refined projects like Seabios still rely on the VBE pointers for non-legacy video modes.

Legacy vga does also has a bios but it's relatively not that difficult to circumvent using the bios on legacy vga cards, only issue is that legacy vga modes are mostly useless.

I think there's a newish way of doing this stuff that doesn't involve Vesa or legacy vga but I don't know what it is. This I'm sure is only one of the many problems that have to be overcome if someone wanted to hack a 1080ti onto a raspberry pi or something.

Looks like not having kids in protest of how shitty things are is working. Everyone keep it up.

I don't want arm or risc v to replace x86 unless we still get to have motherboards with upgradable cpu sockets. And ram slots. And gpu compatible pcie slots. None of the current players are going to give us anything like that.

I'd be happy if they even sold hobbiests loose chips so we could figure it out ourself though. The arm and risc microprocessors on mouser are like the bottom of the barrel leftovers after the corpos have had their pick.

What would be the possibility of there someday existing arm or risc v boards with pci-e slots that can take graphics cards? I don't know that steam even lets developers make a arm linux version of their game or not, but in theory you'd be able to play open source compilable stuff from github.

I installed void linux which I guess defaults to wayland and everything ran like crap until I switched to x11. Have fun with that.

During the first 2 movies people are always telling him what a good wizard he is and all he does is cast like 3 spells the entire time.

 

I have a bone that's rotated 180 degrees on the y axis from where it's supposed to be. I wish I could simply press a button to unlock the axis, rotate the axis 180 degrees without physically rotating the bone and be done with it.

Unfortunately, I'm trying to figure this out and the only results are people talking about going into edit mode, selecting all the vertices and then rotating them. That's great and all BUT I'M TRYING TO ROTATE A BONE not a mesh. Bones don't have vertices so this won't work. I really really really don't want to delete the bone, make a new one and re-weight it, so how tf do I do this? I used autodesk 3ds max in like 2007 and the button to do this was front and center and one of the few things I actually knew how to do.

I've had this game sitting in my library for years. I know it's regarded as one of the really good space games but I've never figured out what you're actually supposed to do or how to advance the gameplay.

I know how to get in my ship, fly my ship and shoot in the general direction of things but that's it. I've played the combat tutorial and have a customized keyboard control layout that I'm happy with.

Last time I gave it a try, it went like this. First, I landed on a space station and then walked all around looking for anything to do. I talked to an npc and found a store selling basic items like medkits and whatnot costing hundreds to thousands of credits. I didn't want to grind for pocket change trading medkits so I continued my search for anything else to do. After more searching, I found a second npc in an office that let me look at security camera footage but that's all I found.

So maybe all the stuff happens in space. So I got in my ship and flew around for a while. The travel mechanics make no sense. Switch to travel mode to go faster, I get it but theres additional mechanics involved. Why can I only go 287m/s in travel mode sometimes? Why does it randomly accelerate to several km/s sometimes and other times the ship accelerates slower than slow? So I look for salvage to steal. Nothing. Eventually I see a bunch of ships fighting so I go over there hoping for anything to happen at all. Boost stops working for some reason so it takes forever and then I get obliterated before getting a chance to shoot at anything.

What am I missing?
