If you see an application with 1% of 450gb worth of code, run as far as you possibly can. That's a Lovecraftian horror. Also, it also almost certainly does not exist. The largest codebases would be lucky if they hit a 200MBs-2GB of str

It needs NTVDM/VM86 (the 16-bit wrapper in WoW) to run DOS code. Since Microsoft didn't want to code up an emulator (you can't run 16-bit code natively in long mode) to support 80s/early 90s code, it was just dropped wit

Dune II didn't have an engine name, it pretty much invented the whole modern RTS genre (Herzog Zwei was a prototype for the genre, however) and much of it was bespoke/non-general code. For C&C and RA they had the "Westwoo

I mean, if you have any 32-bit Windows, you can run it. You just have to launch it directly from the DOS command line, and you need to install an IPX->TCP/IP wrapper (or Kali/something similar) for multiplayer. I was playing Du

It depends on what you define as a "market". To nationalistic free marketeers, they want the market unimpeded within their boundaries; but "unfair" external influence limited/removed. It's a perfectly compati

Musk just parrots hard free market conservative opinions and uses his "success" helming Tesla as a legitimizer. He's rarely been more than half accurate on any of his economic predictions.

No, if you re-read their post, they were pointing out that and trying to say you can't block an external mic. At least, that's how my mind parses it. I don't know their actual intention for certain.

I just looked at all the Moto phones being sold by Lenovo and none of the mid-upper range phones have audio jacks.

OP means that the third sleeve/fourth connection point on the jack (the one responsible for mic data) isn't passed through, ergo the only connection to the recipient device is the output. In other words, it limits a TRRS jack to a

Yup, strategic zoom on monitor 2, micro control on monitor 1. If you never played SupCom, you would imagine that being terrible since most RTSes of the day were so fast paced, but SupCom followed much more of the SiNS/Stellaris/e

What do you mean by "exclusively" and "government"? Outside of the DoD/US Military (where hardened Linux has quite a few uses), I'm pretty sure the US Federal govt is fairly Microsoft-centric as they offer them

Yeah, this is just that. They took JPEG XL denoising and deartifacting algorithms and front loaded them into a 10-bit JPEG encoder. There's more to it, of course, but it's essentially just an improved encoder versus a new format.

The goal isn't to supplant Linux as a commodity kernel, but instead as a microkernel for integrated mobile devices. E.g., as a platform OS, not a general one. So the short answer is "no, unless you use one of Google's hypothe

Sure, but it has two major ones; so target one of those. Don't introduce a new, half-as-functional one. 99% of the users of said platform have both installed on their machine and would prefer either over the janky non-native ones in

MFC, Windows.Forms and Win32 are all the same widget set; you're conflating programming interfaces with realized widget sets. UWP is another. So there are two. And both are native, yes.

Which is a shame, because those widgets work infinitely better than the rough-shod ones thrown together by these all-in-one libraries, for the user. If I have no choice, I'll use one of these apps. But if there's an alternative
