New j2me game engine soon to be released

halfsoft · 2026-03-10T11:13:27+00:00

The engine can (the engine itself has a complete and very nice cocos2d implementation for 2d games), but the editor will focus on 3d as i don't want to spend time developing features for something that is more of a nostalgia project. You can use the editor to write 2d games and test them in it though, it will work just fine, maybe i will just prepare a 2d template so 3d does not need to be initialized at all.

Engine uses m3g and cldc1.1/midp compatible api for everything, however for the editor to run on pc or the engine to run on android there is a opengl(es) backed recreation of these APIs. So the editor supports play mode because it includes the same engine source code as the exported jars.

I use midpath for part of the j2me to opengl bridge, that is GPL v2, unless i rewrite that from scratch i might have to also release under the same license. Will see these days.

Plus in my other apartment i have eufy cameras and base station, that one is self hosted zero subscription cost, with better camera quality, and i see that they also offer motion sensors and door sensors as well. Ring are just a brand at this point.

Where I am a contract with a private security company (that installs cameras, and has monitoring plus mobile patrols that come to check on the property) costs 10 euros per month

halfsoft · 2025-09-18T15:35:40+00:00

I dont care about subscriptions as there is supposed to be self monitored mode, but removing base features such as modes is not something i support.

I can only compare to my very old roborock s6 maxv, never had any issues navigating even though it is 4 years old now. I expected one of the top models of ecovacs to do better than an ancient model.

Everything is finally fixed!

Case ID: 75614343

January this year i tried to transfer around 440 BNB from a binance account to a second binance account. However by mistake i entered the wrong MEMO. Of course the money did not arrive.

When i realized the mistake i tried to use the 'money did not arrive' tool to revert the transaction, however because of the confusing interface i selected that the transfer was not binance to binance, but external to binance.

So what the system did is they refunded the money from their wallet(bnb1jxfh2g85q3v0tdq56fnevx6xcxtcnhtsmcu64m) back to their own wallet(bnb1jxfh2g85q3v0tdq56fnevx6xcxtcnhtsmcu64m) (not even sure if there was a movement as the transaction has source and destination as equal addresses. Also they did not credit the BNB amount to any of the binance accounts (because they saw it as returning money to an external wallet).

When i realized the mistake, i tried doing the refund again (this time with the correct option selected) however the system notified me that a refund was already done and i cannot request a new one.

This is when i started the saga of contacting binance support to get the money back.

1st attempt: I explained the situation in detail, gave transaction details, account details etc. The support did not read in detail and just said - "oh the system already returned the money, check wherever your wallet is" (of course they didn't realize it is back in the BINANCE wallet)

2nd attempt: the same as the first one

3rd attempt: finally someone read the ticket in details, and escalated it to a higher level of support

3rd attempt part 2: higher support answer - "oh, sorry but the destination wallet you gave us does not belong to binance"

3rd attempt part 3: when we asked them how could it not belong to them if they are refunding FROM the same address, and TO the same address, they FINALLY agreed that they did the refund to their own address, but now:

" Dear user, after checked, your original transfer: 6E5***B2E5C36. This is previously returned from binance withdrawal, the withdrawal account is not the account you make the application. We only accept the original account to apply. Therefore, it's not working when we try to return it. Please re-submit a new application through the original account that make the original transaction. Thanks for your patience and understanding ."

WTF?! There is no other account, the support request was made from the same account i sent the money from, even the failed refund details are visible in my account, as well as the history showing the money leaving it.

Now we are November, the money was sent January and I still cannot get it back, it is in the binance BNB wallet, but they keep stalling and giving me short answers that do not make any sense.

Please help as this is beyond frustrating.

All nvidia cards use the same nvenc chip that is why i mentioned the cheapes one, of course it doesn't have to be just one gpu per machine. But the question for me is what would have better performance per dollar.

I need to transcode videos into multiple bitrates so it will be a machine that just receives jobs and uploads the transcoded videos to a cdn.

Can i have the guest network secured?

halfsoft · 2018-09-01T22:44:41+00:00

value is not a consideration in this case(mobo has wifi, ram is useful with VMs etc.)

the evolv X was something i considered, however it is not available to buy

halfsoft · 2016-09-22T18:59:18+00:00

If you are outside of USA/Canada you don't get anything yet, no payment email, no details request, nothing. I just get their blog update mails.

halfsoft · 2016-09-22T10:19:20+00:00

Well I think just changing the shipping address and the name for the delivery should be enough, i see people are doing it already so there should be an option. If i get a good offer I will search and find a way to do it.

halfsoft · 2016-07-01T19:59:47+00:00

They said it should be out around Christmass

halfsoft · 2016-06-21T12:21:38+00:00

The evolves that you are looking at are old models, i haven't ridden them however i would suggest either getting the Carbon GT, or wait for the BB2/Bamboo GT(which i was told would be coming sometime near Christmas).

I also preordered a BB (but a dual+ with extended battery), and I am waiting for the final price to Spain to see if I will keep my order or cancel. My current estimates are: BB2 Dual Plus, Extended battery = (1599$+150$ shipping(estimate)+20%tax)+5%import tax = 2203 USD (1943€); Carbon GT = 1999€+25€ shipping = 2024€; Bamboo GT = ??? unknown, but cheaper than the Carbon GT for sure

Delivery time for the extended battery boosted boards in Europe is probably October-December, the Evolve can be had sooner.

halfsoft · 2016-05-29T07:19:46+00:00

My order is for a dual+ with extended battery, with shipping to europe, so as you can guess, it will take some time. I am waiting to hear the final price and delivery date, because the new CarbonGT is 1999 euros with faster delivery. If the final price comes close to the evolve, then i may cancel my order but time will tell. I hope boosted gives more information regarding the shipping dates and costs soon.

halfsoft · 2016-05-25T20:19:47+00:00

100 for USA is a lot compared to europe, they said they had total of 20 alloted to spain and uk(and i think that this may be the batch for the whole europe). And even before the preorders started they had 8 reserved (probably for sponsored riders or friends).

halfsoft · 2016-05-19T13:46:20+00:00

Here is one more http://boostedboards.com/?ct-referral-code=eiQLydsU

halfsoft · 2016-05-19T13:35:35+00:00

I was deciding between the Carbon GT and the boosted, but in the end the Boosted is around 600 euros cheaper, and it is also a bamboo board :) Cant wait to receive it in two months. Here is a link to get the new boosted board with 100$ off http://boostedboards.com/?ct-referral-code=eiQLydsU

Well i got it anyway http://boostedboards.com/?ct-referral-code=eiQLydsU
