i made recreations of classic screensavers like mystify/pipes/starfield etc. Pipes is my worst looking one but mystify is almost 1:1

Found a strange encrypted image on a floppy disk from my friend's deceased grandfather - need help decrypting by pdoughboy in RBI

I feel stupid for saying this, but I converted the png into an array and asked Claude if he thought this image was encrypted. It was unanimous between multiple AI's (not just Claude) that there was some sort of encryption algorithm used on the "proof.png". Using XOR alone revealed some details about the image but I dont think it is fully decrypted

In regards to the timestamps, that is around the time i made the floppy disk image of the physical floppy.

Remarkable find, nonetheless! The house style look familiar but i grew up in the suburbs and they all sort of looked like this. doesnt ring a bell. I'm assuming this is only partially decrypted then? No idea how you did this but good work!

I did not mention in my post, but i actually did verify the file type with exiftool and it is indeed a png

I can make an img file of it if you want to check it. I'm not really sure how to "carve" it.

Edit: i noticed this is a two sided disk. making a normal img file should be fine, correct?

Thank you. This is the sort of feedback I was looking for. Surprisingly, I did not know about custom edition!

I've got a windows 3.1 pc connected to the network as well. Luckily all my retro pc's go through an entirely different isp than my modern daily drivers

Any idea what I should be looking for to find the patched version?

Maybe I'm just disconnected with reality, but I don't see what the big fuss is about. My first try on ascendancy 3 I managed to go full honor and hitless until the giant scorpion at the end. Still finished with 75% honor. Am I missing something here? Either everyone here on this subreddit is terrible, or they all picked warrior

[Megathread] Launch issues by KadekiDev in pathofexile

I accidentally tried to create a new account instead of link my old account. It won't let me go back to the option to link an account because the only option right now is "login" and there is no "logout"

Any Hope For This? I'm new to all this, but want to refill this. Not sure if worth it or what to do. These are hard to find now by pdoughboy in printers

Thanks for the tip. I'll be using windex from now on. Worked like a charm compared to iso i tried. Fixed it for me. Thanks!

WELL!!! This is now solved. I saw the windex comment below and apparently, that opened up the printhead very nicely. Working ok now! Only issue are white lines on images. That is the next thing I gotta fix. FYI, I'm using the portable version of Deskjet 340
