I built a new computer around Windows Vista and it worked fine. Almost all the issues where related to users installing it on older systems that didn't have drivers (new driver model) or couldn't handle the graphics. Even consider

So you enable it by editing the manifest file and embedding the manifest file, but with legacy applications the HiDPI scaling might not be calculated correctly, or something assumes Pixels or DIP incorrectly. It might be something in a cust

This cycle doesn't work anymore. Windows 10 wasn't a normal release, it has been around for 6 years, and has at least 3 major updates(with many small ones). Windows 7 was around for ~3 years, and had one update before it was repla

The only people that say Win32 apps are scalable are the ones that haven't dealt with legacy code. There is jut too much legacy code that either doesn't work, or doesn't work correctly with HiDPI screens.

And the software is most likely owned by the competitor that sells said "new" software that most likely doesn't fit the niche anymore. They normally refuse to re-license even without having to give updates/support.

From my experience rendering on GPU is not worth it when you have a lot of images to generate. Generally you want budget your CPUs cores to render a bunch of images at the same time instead of one (or a few) images really fast. The more thr

I second that, if anything the roads only need to be patched. The roads also have their cracks sealed every few years causing them to last even longer than drive ways normally do. This is only true if it is built to high spec, I know some n

I would be happy with a clone of the Windows WSL1.0 or WSL2.0 system on MacOS. It would seem like it would be even easier to do than windows because much of the Posix stuff is there. Yes I know brew supports much of the MacOS ecosystem, but

Nothing is preventing spouses from applying for H1B or other Visas, they key debate with the H-4 Visa is the spouses needed to work to afford to live in the areas. This just highlights the absurdity of the income levels in the H1B program.

They are not denied the right to work, but they are not given the right by default. The spouse can still apply to work via other means, but should not be given a work Visa by default. These restrictions on spouses are the same of every othe

The original idea of the H1-B Visa was these were high paying jobs where the spouse wouldn't need to work. It appears the pay rate has not kept with with inflation and/or cost of living.

Re branding a MIT license software and selling a commercial version is a good thing if done correctly. Clearly Zen is not providing any added value. The key takeaway from this is you don't sign contracts with overly aggressive business
