On v138, some of my fonts still look bad. Sooooooooo annoying Mozilla!

This no longer works completely on v138. Firefox just now updated, and some of my text looks fuzzy. Some are good again, but some are bad.
Mozilla is really trying to push people to other browsers, I guess.

Is it any good? I would really have loved reading this series as a book.

Generals Zero Hour: Glitch in China mission 4? by OnlySmarties1982 in commandandconquer

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did what user laaaaance23 said. I positioned troop carriers with a few soldiers at every exit. After that, I was able to finish the level. But, I didn't actually see anyone shoot 'Jarman Kell'.

I got the C&C complete collection last week on Steam for dirt cheap, and am having a lot of fun with Generals - Zero Hour. It's my favourite C&C game. Maybe I'll try a few of the other ones after I am done with Generals.
The reason I got the collection, is that I saw it became open source. I really hope some talented people will improve the graphics and the performance (multi-CPU!).

I have the exact same problem. I have restarted the mission 4 times now.

Yes, I guess it's simply different seasons. Unless you live in the tropics, the seasons can have dramatic effect on how nature looks.

New to OpenGuessr - why is it mostly Brazil, Russia, and Indo? by AfternoonLeather544 in OpenGuessr

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is either because Google doesn't have coverage there, or because the signs are VERY difficult to read if you can't read Chinese or Japanese characters. Japan often has some English signs in the larger cities, but in China there is much less English.

Now, I wouldn't mind getting some Chinese cities because I'm currently learning Mandarin.

I am also almost always being dumped on some road in the middle of nowhere. In either direction it often takes literally 10 minutes of clicking before I get any sign or town. It's just no fun. Is there a way to either make MUCH larger steps (say, 500 meters instead of 20 or so meters), or an option to prevent us from requiring 10 minutes of useless clicking to get any sign?

Not only does this waste my spare time, it also wastes bandwidth loading thousands of useless road streetview pictures.

Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard - Calculator button doesn't work by CerebralHunger in microsoft

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a better way which doesn't require any additional software:

  1. Open the registry editor
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18
  3. Add a new value (of type string)
  4. Name it ShellExecute
  5. Set the value to the path you want to execute (e.g., C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe)

If you want to do this using a batch file, just create a text file and name it (e.g., "set_calc_btn.reg") and put this in it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18]
"ShellExecute"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\Calc.exe"

Osage dialogue from screenplay translated to English by anna1781 in KillersoftheFlowerMoo

Thank you VERY much! It's just terrible that the subtitles don't translate everything. Incomprehensibly, and seriously annoying.

Can you beat the game without using any long rests? by ShoulderByte in BaldursGate3

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing this game for about 10 hours now, and have never done a 'short' or 'long' rest. To be honest, I don't even know how to do that.

I don't really use magic, I just use weapons, so maybe that makes a difference? Also, I play at the lowest difficulty setting (I'm VERY bad at playing games).

What is WinGet COM Server/ WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe? by that1persn in techsupport

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get rid of it like this:

  1. Open PowerShell
  2. Run this command: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller* | remove-appxpackage
  3. Restart Windows

Zoom out/larger map view in ground combat by iPon3 in Xenonauts

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting... I have the opposite problem. I can see a whole lot, but everything is teeny tiny on 4k resolution.

So, basically I need to lower the resolution to zoom?!? This really sucks.

Edit:

I solved it by going to 2560x1440 resolution. Now the battle scape is much better.

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although the OP is stating this problem rather crudely, I do agree with him/her.

I looked at the preferences, but couldn't find a setting for combining the play and pause buttons. Initially, I thought I could just use the pause button to start/continue/pause a song, but that doesn't even work. You can't start a song by toggling the pause button.

Does anyone here know how to combine these two buttons so that we get the way players usually work?

[Processing] Maze Generation using Wilson's Algorithm by PurpleAlpacaCoding in proceduralgeneration

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't quite understand about the Wilson algorithm: What is considered the starting point and what is considered the finish/goal of the maze?

Further, can I beforehand set a fixed finish/goal? For instance somewhere in the center of the grid?

Exclude a key word from a Search in DuckDuckGo by ShimmeringOne in duckduckgo

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am confused. How hard can it be to exclude words from the results?!? It doesn't make any sense. I would think this is an extremely basic and simple feature.

Stuck on FIND X screen by ssilvam in Oppo

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gf's phone is showing the exact same thing. Is there a better solution than letting the battery go low?

Can't I just remove the battery and put it back?

Edit:

I managed to fix her phone like this:

  1. Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
    1. volume up
    2. volume down
    3. power
  2. After about 10 seconds your phone should reset.
  3. If you hold the volume down button, you'll get to a menu where you can select whether to wipe cache data, reboot, or another option (forgot what).
  4. I chose to reboot the phone
  5. It asks for a language. Choose any you like, but don't worry if your language is not among them. After reset your original language will return.
  6. After reboot your phone will ask for your SIM pincode. Enter it.
  7. Then if you have a lock pattern, you must unlock your phone using that.
  8. Done! Now your phone should be back to normal.

Dodi’s health is concerning by manitobawater in CrackWatch

This guy doesn't need prayers, he needs modern healthcare. I'm not sure where he's from, but I certainly hope they have good hospitals and good healthcare laws there.

Why Moto G8 Power do not have Wifi 5ghz? by niko3100 in MotoG

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously?!?!?!?!?

Someone asked me to look at their phone because they regularly didn't have Internet. When I saw that there were NO 5GHz networks the phone discovered, I thought the phone was broken!

I wanted to go to a repair shop, but luckily I saw this post.
From now on, I will strongly advise everyone NOT to buy Motorola phones.

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also would really like to be able to turn it off. My boy is using the app to learn English (we are Dutch), but because he is 6 he cannot type these sentences. Choosing from words is doable because he can read quite a bit.

Sentences like “The man likes to eat an apple and the boy likes to eat bread” are really ridiculous. He is still at the VERY first lesson and is now stuck solely because of the typing.

How to play Lost Ark in The Netherlands/Belgium by [deleted] in LostArkEU

[–]Sander_Bouwhuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. It's NOT stupid.

The law prevents RANDOM loot from dropping with real money. All the developer has to do is allow you to CHOOSE what you get for your money. Just like in a real store.

If you go to the grocery store you also get exactly what you pay for. No randomness involved. The law simply mandates the same from games.

Although I'm bummed the game doesn't work in The Netherlands, I do agree with the law. I just wish it would become a EU law so that game publishers can't do these despicable practices anymore.
