  1. Yup, over time updates, drivers, etc can all get 'muddied', so it was quite common, for those of us in the know, to periodically do a full OS clean install even before any of these tools existed. I can see why you might do what you said in the first part, but I wouldn't have bothered unless you were getting other, more peculiar things going on.
  2. Try deleting the drivers entirely and downloading a fresh set from Nvidia directly (maybe get the file first?). It's not uncommon for the reinstall process of a driver to see that it exists and not bother actually overwriting the one that's there. Might need to manually delete wherever they're at after using the Device Manager. Been a while since I've had to do it, but at least that's giving you a directory for reference.
  3. Fair enough. I've not watched it either, so don't have a clue as to the voice acting either.
  4. Hmm, Feels like a White-Wash to me as I always felt like (maybe due to the voice?) that she was themed off of the African Cheeta. 😕 IDK, haven't watched any of the reboots beyond part of the Voltron first episode. Could do with a SilverHawks reboot though.
  5. Um, the low levels are there to help you learn how to play the AT / game...If you don't like being low level (and have a grip on the game), then people will happily PL you more often than not. It's not until like 20ish that things start to slow down when solo, IIRC.
  6. True, it may be worth simply having something separate that discusses the coded way (IE: How the OG devs designed it) and the User Created Mod way.
  7. That's a bit nicer of a look as before as everything looked like it was just floating around. Now it has a more formal structure. As for the Data folder specifically, I'd suggest a similar article linked from there that goes into a full breakdown of what goes in each subfolder (file type, purpose, etc). A similar bit of description to what is generalized in my linked thread would be good as well so that if someone's looking for a particular part / file of the game, then they'll have a reference.
  8. If you want a simple UI / setup, then stick with Canon (if you don't go Brother). After that, then it depends on how much you print and what you want it to do (IE: Make a requirements list!). For example, here's what I wanted and what I ended up with: Canon MAXIFY GX7021 Wireless MegaTank Small Office All-in-One Printer Don't make me sign into a web portal to use the bloody thing! If I don't use it for say a month, then I should be able to just hit Print and it prints. I was already THIS close to literally throwing my HP either against the wall or out the window over this. Capacity, do you got it? I previously had a basic AIO HP printer because I didn't need the photo quality of the Canon PIXMA anymore, but when I suddenly went from printing a few times a year to dozens of pages a Day, then I knew I needed something more business class (without being business price!). My last cartridge on that thing ($20) lasted exactly 1 day before it complained about being out. I had previously considered the differences between Cartridge and Tanks, but decided to see just how close to accurate their quote on print quantity truly was. I Also wanted to Not have to refill the tray as often as well since most printers barely hold like 50-100 sheets of paper now a days on consumer printers. Flip that thing and print / scan it I learned long ago that if I wanted to save $$ on paper, then double-sided was the way to go. But I Also learned that the ability to Scan double-sided (when needed for archiving) was just as important. Irony being that I don't do the latter often it seems, now that the bulk of my archiving is done. Can you hear me now? Wireless, if you can't do all of the above AND be wireless, then what are you even? Now a days, that Also includes full remote printing, but you gotta be comfortable with that going through Their servers (to your house). I also wanted a backup option for sending stuff in (financials), so the ability to remote fax needed to be a back-burner option as well (but I think that's over with as a need) Don't make me come in there! Please just bloody work! I understand that periodically I'll have to refill paper / ink, but otherwise just work. Don't be Reggae either or you'll get ME Jammin' something where you don't want it. PLEASE don't break the bank >.< Ok, so this one's pushing it, but I Did get it really 'cheap' for the quoted retail price. That and via reimbursement, I'd eventually get it back. Granted, had a certain Cheeto-Head not filed something back in 2018 (getting rid of non-1099 tax credits), then I could have just written it off, but I'm not salty. /s So I ended up going Back to Canon and trying their Tank series. It quoted that it would get THOUSANDS of pages before needing refilling and it wasn't kidding. IDK exactly how many I printed, but I'm pretty sure that I went through a case of paper (5k~7k sheets) before needing more ink. I forget how much paper I had started with as I always buy in bulk for Any paper product, so assume I may have had a single, 500 sheet ream to start with (or possibly had purchased one before the new printer), but the printer came with FULL capacity bottles (unlike the trial size you get with regular printers!). For reference, I purchased: New Printer on 8-14-2023 New case of paper (2.5k ream) on 9-20-23 Just in case bottle of Black ink on 10-9-23 Next case of paper on 10-3-24 Current supply status: (Note: I print full color and on the Economy + double sided settings) Just over 1.5k sheets left (just opened ream 3 / 5) Black still has some in the bottle and the tank is full Blue is almost down to a quarter full Red & Yellow are steady around 3/4 full
  9. The file structure feels weird to look at, but I would suggest providing stuff like this: Google Image Search / File Path Descriptors
  10. True story, back in the days of Hz based machines (the average being ~60), I once coded a simple program for class (when C was the latest thing) called "Crash This Puppy" which basically simulated a Mac crashing by locking just about everything up using some pause like command. I Also added a simple Beep command for what was Supposed to be every second, but in fact was every Clock cycle. Nearly got kicked out of the lab while troubleshooting that one. Now granted, I Also had a habit of actually Crashing the Macs back then (during programming) because I would manage to require a Force Quit. Doesn't sound so bad now a days, but if you did it 3 time, then it corrupted the OS (requiring a rebuild). Needless to say, this was a regular occurrence in that class. 😛 *too many minutes later*Drat, couldn't find the Original copy, just my "converted to CPP" stuff that's loses the sound function. Oh well, here's some CPP converted "Towers of Hanoi" instead:
  11. A bit late to the party, but give or take any updates to the file structure since written, I imagine that this would have helped some.
  12. 40 years ago, quite a few people likely Wanted to be under...*glances up*..."PI". >.> <.< >.>
  13. Heh, I thought it was about a sizing chart, but if it's Alts, then I don't have enough forum image quota for that. 😛
