I’ve tried getting Windows XP games to run both in windows 7/10/11 and wine with little success. However, I have gotten them to work in Windows XP virtual machines.

Looks like first layer adhesion issues, but given the print finished with no other issues, I’d call this a success. You might try adding a raft or brim next time to isolate the first layer issues from the print itself.

Sunshine/Moonlight are FOSS, highly performant RDP software that is well supported on Linux as well as Windows and includes game controller support. They are designed for game streaming but I regularly use it as a remote desktop software for remote working.

Of course, depending on your specific situation, it might not work. It isn’t compatible with Microsoft RDP (it uses Nvidia’s game streaming protocol, with Sunshine as the host and Moonlight as the remote). Also game controller support is done by creating a generic virtual game controller on the host, so the details of what specific controller you are using are lost.

One thing I’ve never understood about providing a hash for the download, is that the download and the webpage displaying the hash are typically served from the same domain, so if the download is compromised, couldn’t the hash be too?

screen recording and/or streaming (preferably lighter weight)

VLC can do this. The streaming part might be tricky because it won’t do the networking for you, but it’s easy enough to screen record to a file.

You can get near that level of performance with a small thunderbolt drive.

That’s called a thumb drive and you can do it as long as the computer you are using has the option to boot from USB enabled in BIOS (typically personal machines come with that enabled but machines out in the public often disable it specifically because they don’t want you booting a different OS)

Where does “Alemania” (what they call Germany in Spain) come from?

Garbage

I suppose my setup already has “Xcode command line tools” installed, so gcc works as expected. It’s been a while but IIRC the process for installing the command line tools is pretty self explanatory.

I remember WSL being a whole process to setup, but it’s been a while, and as you might guess, I’m a lot more familiar with Mac than Windows.

What I do know is I had to support a Python project on all 3 OSes and Windows was by far the hardest to get working. We were deliberately not using WSL for that scenario.

Mac is very similar to Linux in that it comes with bash (these days zsh) and a lot of the command line tools you’d expect on Linux, including gcc and python3 installed by default. You’ll want them to have a decent text editor with code coloring. Sublime is what I was taught to use in university.

Windows is more difficult. The command line is very different (it inherits from DOS instead of Unix like both Mac and Linux). It doesn’t come with Python pre-installed. I’ve generally installed git-bash when working on Windows. There are some Python libraries that work fine on both Mac and Linux but have issues on Windows.

You could look into VSCode which is a decent IDE that works on all platforms. Of course, an IDE can be a bit of an information overload for a beginner, especially something like VSCode that’s constantly pushing AI features and plug-ins.

I’d just try to understand why they feel that way to make sure you aren’t missing anything.

Is it the pay cut? 20% sounds pretty significant to me but 2% isn’t, but in the end if you are making enough to live the way you want that’s all you need.

Is it the career path options? That can be more complicated, but if there’s nothing you would want from “climbing the ladder” that’s up to you.

I have set up WireGuard manually running on a home server. It’s not that hard to set up IMO but that definitely depends on your experience level.

Other than that I’d second Tailscale which is similar but easier to set up

This is why I use CloudFlare. They block the worst and cache for me to reduce the load of the rest. It’s not 100% but it does help.

The choice to use CloudFlare is made by whoever made the website you are visiting

There’s a huge difference between adjusting the color mapping of the RAW data and using Photoshop or AI. It’s really hard to get an “objective truth” color mapping, and that certainly doesn’t come by default.

When I take a photo, I want to see the photo I took. If I decide to photoshop something with it, that’s my decision, and it’s no longer a real photo, and I would be a liar if I were to present it as such.

We should not start accepting manipulated images as a replacement for real images, and it’s unacceptable that Samsung didn’t give its users a choice in whether to use the real image or a manipulated one.

99% of the time the “other program” is a minimized file browser window open to the drive.

I would actually love to take 3300! That sounds fun.

As for 4020, writing performant code in Python typically means calling into libraries that are written in C.

Watch the whole video, bullets made it all the way through.

The driver was approaching them kinda aggressively and weirdly in a place where no cars should be at that time.

If you want to make an analogy it’s like a guy approaching the cops while threateningly waving a weapon.
