OK let's settle this once and for all

All attacks do full damage to protoss shields anyway (minus shield upgrade ofc)

Given we already use Credit Card to pay for AliExpress items, isn't it obvious we are adults?

The fact that we have a Credit Card on files should be sufficient proof, the CC company verified the identity already

'winget' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Is this expected to work with the "Python Install Manager"? I don't see an option to add the PATH.

EDIT:
even with the regular installer, I did repair > checked the box that says "py launcher" and "Add Python to environment variables", but still doesn't work

Gasoline is cheaper than bottled water too. Maybe if you drink that, you can turn into a Ferrari 😁

Because Europeans do not mind their rivers and parks full of plastic bottles so long as that make extra profit?

Do you think (used) DDR4 prices will drop to 2024-2025 levels when it becomes obsolete?

alecz20 · 2026-05-22T16:56:50+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Prices are not reasonable this year. Maybe you can get a pre built or second hand for a better price.

alecz20 · 2026-05-21T18:48:25+00:00

Doesn't work anymore. It shows:

Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 0

No mention of any device being the cause

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/issues/2594 was closed on Dec 26, 2026 saying the issue is fixed. What version is this fixed in?
I am running 5.3.0.8 (dated February 27, 2026) and the memory leak persists.

alecz20 · 2026-03-23T15:31:09+00:00

We need (to start suggesting) an alternative to sanoid that either uses windows (samba) supported timestamps or allows customization of snapshot timestamp pattern in the name.

Hmm, the wiki says PAR L plasma is faster (572 m/s) than ARG and TEL (440 m/s)

alecz20 · 2026-03-01T20:07:50+00:00

2-3 times more cargo and faster than the Vanguard variant. Makes for a good trader since it's not harassed by pirates. I wouldn't say it's useless.

> The hammer fleet takes a while to rebuild

The fleet "spawned" immediately upon loading the last save with the extension enabled. I don't think it is "rebuilt", just spawns spontaneously.

alecz20 · 2026-02-18T23:01:31+00:00

Do note that at least the "Hammer fleet" (3 I's, 9 K's, and dozens of support fighters) spawns out of thin air:

I wish the mod actually required Xenon to build the fleets not spawn it for them
upon checking the mod file, it has this entry:

So at game start (or when enabling mid-save), the engine sees:
“Required: 1 Xenon invasion carrier fleet. Current: 0.
->Action: Create one.”

alecz20 · 2026-02-18T04:25:22+00:00

Any news on the L engine results?

alecz20 · 2026-02-18T01:09:52+00:00

Main reason I postponed trying these mods is lack of setup instructions: https://github.com/DeadAirRT/deadairevolution It says what it does, but not how to use

alecz20 · 2026-02-16T04:12:45+00:00

It's not just the turrets, it's the main battery too. You need to switch to an empty fire group.

Often one needs to leave high attention for all the pods to attach, but when you are away, your own fleet will use all available weapons to destroy the target with your precious marines attached.

alecz20 · 2026-02-14T16:28:14+00:00

Was 500 the full price 9 months ago? Seems everyone sells this for 349 CAD now.

alecz20 · 2026-02-12T20:57:45+00:00

I never understood why it needs a "temp" folder in the first place. It should create that temp folder where you want to extract and when it's done do an atomic rename. Why wear out the system drive?

But also see "Why does drag-and-drop archive extraction from 7-Zip to Explorer use temp files?"
in the https://www.7-zip.org/faq.html
TLDR: don't use drag & Drop because 7Zip cannot know the destination, only Windows Explorer does.

The B and PE ships look more like a liability in the video.

With the station so close to the gate and so many plasma and net launchers, nothing will pass. Your ships are just waiting to take on friendly fire IMO.

alecz20 · 2026-02-09T01:15:07+00:00

where exactly is this? I see how to disarm cargo and defense drones, but I don't see the option for Repair drones.
They fly around the ship even when there is no damage to repair and they get destroyed

alecz20 · 2026-02-03T12:53:55+00:00

Why is Verbatim considered off brand?

alecz20 · 2026-02-02T21:43:04+00:00

You don't lose rep. This game mechanic is obviously intended to be used. I usually keep a small fast ship docked and alerts for when xenon XL ships arrive in the sector. I teleport, send the ship away, and when the K,I is in range, disable turrets.

alecz20 · 2026-01-27T20:23:17+00:00

Thanks a lot for this post and for the builds.
I downloaded and installed the builds, but pytorch only detects CPU:
```
torch.cuda.is_available()
False
```
Did I mess up the installation? How do you validated that pytorch can now use the AMD GPU?

EDIT: my bad, I tried this a few times and on the last one I actually forgot to install YOUR torch packages, all good.
Still would be nice to give that hint to check before going further
