Opening AmigaVision.fs-uae with fs-uae.exe not fs-uae-launcher.exe was the ticket! Thanks.

Bug: The demoscene demo '3D Demo II' bricks after the white text section where the 3d ball should appear. The demo goes blank. Pressing Del stops the music and hard locks the emulator.

I rarely give up, but this. Holy shit. Every step is a master class on user hostility...

I just deleted all this shit in frustration. If anyone manages to get this running with an emulator in windows and could show a basic howto/walkthrough I'd give it another go...

See below for the pain:

Nostalgia + Amiga.Vision. Lets do this > Download > We don't have downloads, but here's a download link > Archive search link, not direct link > eventually find big file > download...

Search which emulator is the best > WinUAE/FS-UAE > Pick FS-UAE > No installer > Download 4 rando zips > two need to be extracted in a nested location that doesn't exist until you run FS-UAE-Launcher.exe first

Extract Amiga.vision > readme says "Double-click the `AmigaVision.fs-uae`" > Filetype not associated > open with FS-UAE-Launcher.exe > rom not found > manually run launcher > config appears randomly > find rom > update rom location > save > launch > Amiga screen that shows no disk..

Search FS-UAE/WinUAE AmigaVision > videos > none

TL:DR: Under Montana law, it’s possible for car buyers to register as an LLC, purchase a vehicle anywhere in the U.S. and avoid paying sales tax

Moved from Firefox Dev Edition to Librewolf. No deal breakers yet.

Procedure to transfer over painlessly: Install and run Librewolf. On both browsers go Help > More troubleshooting information > profile folder > Open. Close both browsers. Delete everything inside the librewolf profile. Copy everything from Firefox Dev profile directory into Librewolf profile directory. Run Librewolf with "--allow-downgrade" once. First run was a tad slow with extensions doing some 'recombobulation'. You can now run Librewolf normally without the above allow downgrade option. Enjoy.

So the next generation of Ad-blockers will simply source the video from a proxy, compare, and serve the clean feed. The cat and mouse game perpetuates.

I used to see these exact videos on twitch.tv for months during non US peak times. They were number one in viewers for about 15 minutes until they were reported and nuked. Refresh another five minutes later and they'd be back at number one.

Cool side note: If you report on twitch.tv you get an email; If they do something about it, you get another email saying they actioned it.

I switched to mailcow recently to test, but I have fond memories of building it myself thanks to workaround.org

He goes into great detail, and if anything edge-case arises, you can almost always find a comment relating to a fix before the main article gets updated.

My first thought; $1800 USD for the servos/controllers alone seems like a damn good deal.

I wonder how hackable this thing is.

I find the entertainment value for me in his most popular videos are the sheer unhinged overreaction of people about a fridge magnet. It's fascinating and perplexes me.

Faced with the same situation I'd simply drive away and gladly keep the sticker as a souvenir.

I get much better sleep in a completely dark room. I've solved this issue innumerable times with Blu-Tack, electrical tape and straight-up de-soldering or unplugging lights.

3090, Unplugged leads with tweezers. Mobo, Blu-Tack. NIC, Blu-Tack - Notable mention of Intel NICs where you can disable LEDs in ethtool. Bedside lamp, Tape. Standing fan, Tape. yada yada etc. etc.

Only Gadgets I've remembered with light pollution considerations easily accessed is my Mitsubishi AC, Onkyo Reciever and LG OLED TV. All have a night mode where I can disable all illumination.
