I somehow managed to break Visual Studio so that it can't render text in source code.

Everything else seems to work fine, but if you click on a .cpp file, it just shows you a blank window.

hey microsoft, if you need to hire someone who knows a few things about font rendering, you've got my email

@keithmann I can confirm with external editors that there is text in those files

I updated VS2022 to see if that'd fix it, but now it won't run unless I reboot first.

What is this, windows 95?!

I guess this project isn't getting done today. or possibly ever, given my history with projects like this thanks to the ADHD

I'm disappointed in how hacking works in real life. I'd played enough video games to have an idea how it would go, but I've been hacking games and hardware for like a decade now and not even once have I had to solve a pipe maze puzzle

@grillaum too late, already mad about that one

I don't love that the "1.44" in "1.44 MB" floppy isn't actually either "Megabyte" or "Mebibyte", but rather it's 1.44 "thousand Kibibytes".

@cr1901 floppy disks should have been labeled as 2880 sectors.

(they'd also need to specify 512 byte sectors of course, since disks have been sold preformatted with other sector sizes)

In case you missed it, I've got a spiffy new logo for my slides and PCBs. This is Chaos the dragon!

@philpem I need this as a safety warning sign so I can put it up by my TV broadcast rack

@philpem well I do have that windows ce printer specifically designed for safety labels, maybe I can make it work long enough to make us some good stickers

Bad idea that could still make a lot of money:
A small desk-size washing machine, with proprietary soap packets, designed to clean keyboard keycaps.

You might say "who would waste money on a dedicated appliance that only does that one thing?"

But I must remind you that mechanical keyboardists are the audiophiles of typing.

@foone@digipres.club avatar

They have a bunch of money and not a lot of rationality.

More cents than sense, as my grandpappy used to say.

when is GCC gonna have support for shock collars?
it might help to shock the programmer whenever the compile fails

@griibor lewd! I'll sexualize a lot, but I try to keep it away from my CI job

Got on one of the toll highways this afternoon to make my way back to the thrift store I’d discovered last weekend… and found myself immediately stuck in traffic. After noticing that there only seemed to be traffic in a single direction - southbound - it hit me: this is Urban Weekend (a.k.a. Urban Beach Week).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Beach_Week

The wikipedia seemingly hasn’t been updated since 2013, so it omits that weekend’s overwhelmingly violent, criminal history.

Thankfully, I wasn’t going that far.

@artandtechnic have you ever made it to Urban Ore in Berkeley , CA? They've got an amazing VHS section, it's something like 5 full height shelving units packed 2 deep with VHS tapes.

@foone@digipres.club avatar

@artandtechnic If you're in the area, you might also want to check Captain Video in San Mateo. Lots of VHS there, including some beta.

Why doesn't microsoft make Recall take pictures with your computer's webcam too?

@sky implying legal cleared Recall in the first place?
