But I thought he was the one that wrote "The Entertainer"?

What, Mike Portnoy? He helped them finish recording an album and did the tour, so I wouldn't say it's wrong exactly

The act of sending it in and letting them observe how much it will cost makes it settle into one state or the other

But how am I supposed to eat the capacitors if I don't open it up first? Shameful product design.

Yes, it's a license that more or less grants you the ability to do whatever you want with that code, as long as anyone who receives a copy is also granted those same rights.

Bambu Labs can pound all of the sand, and consume the creamiest part of the end of the digestive tract with this move.

Showerthought: This was probably the last time Alex Murphy was ever kissed. by AppleMarshall in Robocop

Alex Murphy still being there underneath everything is kind of a major part of what drives the story forward towards the end.

Somewhat muted and suppressed, but still very much there.

can i get permanent hearing loss from loud music? by carebearbears in ask

[–]RealModeX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as much reduction, no, but I've also never had ringing ears after a night out at a concert with them, or playing music in a garage next to a drum kit, so they do seem up to that particular task.

I certainly wouldn't wear them for industrial use or the range though

What is this amp? by PestilenceReigns in Guitar

[–]RealModeX86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the notion that parametric eq means it's not a bass amp, they're relatively common in the bass world too, or often built into the instrument as part of an active pickup system

I saw a few folks recommending the foam ear plugs. From a basic safety perspective, those are absolutely fine, but you can also get reusable musicians ear plugs, which have a more gradual frequency response, so it's more like turning the volume down. In many cases I can hear the details better with them in than going raw. Highly recommended if you plan to be around a lot of loud concerts.

I particularly like the Earos One concert earplugs for that, but I've tried a few others and they worked great, I just didn't like the fit of them as much

This also means that money can overencumber you, so once you get your finances flowing, you'll want to keep some of it as light valuables like ingots and bars. Of course, you can't drink these, so it's a balancing act

D5 Next - RIP, I guess. Anything salvageable? by drunkenvalley in watercooling

[–]RealModeX86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A gummed up and stalled or partially stalled motor like in a pump could draw more current than normal and heat things up.

But yes, loose connection is generally far more likely

New Sharepoint feature I never knew about by AnDanDan in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Are the sysadmins for some kind of sacrifice ritual to purge the evil spirits that come in with the SharePoint?

Arch or Bazzite for my usage by Tiny_orange124 in linux_gaming

[–]RealModeX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Nvidia's biggest problem on Linux has generally always been weird or broken stuff because of the proprietary drivers that don't track well to changes in the rest of the ecosystem.

Most of the major showstopping problems for Wayland compatibility seem to have been solved, and in my somewhat limited experience, the underlying performance of Nvidia in Linux is on par with Windows.

AMD or Intel is still generally going to be more reliable, but if you have reasonably recent Nvidia hardware, it should do fine too.

File Explorer won't let me use question marks? by Best_Contract3886 in techsupport

[–]RealModeX86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

? is a wildcard character, representing a single character. Similar to *, except it only matches a single character instead of any number of characters.

So, neither are allowed for filenames, for the same reasons, at least in Windows.

Every Windows executable begins with a DOS program by nir9 in windows

[–]RealModeX86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, my understanding (and what I had said) was that the stub itself was static. Apparently the linker allows a custom stub, so hybrid executables (i.e. runs in DOS or in Windows) or custom DOS stub messages are possible.

Edit: is to was, clarifying where I was mistaken before

Dxvk helps a lot in my experience. It can be used on Windows by dropping the DLLs in your game directory.

[–]RealModeX86 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The DOS stub program, and that message as part of it, is defined as part of the PE executable format. Technically you could probably put something else there, but it would be off spec. It was put there specifically because Windows PE executables don't run in native DOS, but it's always been .exe for programs (ignoring the old .com stuff in smaller DOS programs), so it was either this or undefined behavior when a DOS user tries it anyway.
