You can probably get it to work in Wine with some effort, and definitely should be able to get it to work in a virtual machine.

I’ve gotten some old games working in a Windows XP vm in VirtualBox, using disk images I made from the old disks.

The GOG release might be easier to get working (GOG themselves are updating it to work on modern OSes, and it’s DRM free so you don’t have to worry about the keys or anything).

Hmm I don’t see visible dust on it but maybe there’s just very light dust or it blends in with the grey filament I’m using. I’ll give that a try!

My last print it did eventually finish but I had to pause the print to do a cold pull multiple times.

Any advice on how to dry out old filament?

I’ve got some filament that’s been sitting out for about 2 years and it’s been clogging my hot end. I use my printer relatively infrequently and so I now have a lot of filament that’s potentially ruined.

You do need the calories and resources, but that’s why you should eat easy to digest things like soup.

I bet you could get BG3 running on it at low-mid settings.

Also the Witcher series should work fine.

Palworld content coming to Terraria? That makes more sense than the other way around…

You can’t

It would be pretty hard. There’s a reason quantum mechanics is the current explanation, and it doesn’t start with the Bell entanglement experiments.

Black body radiation would have some bizarre behavior without quantum mechanics.

The radiation spectrums of stars are also very dependent on quantum mechanics.

Some related phenomena such as transistors and phosphorescence are hard to explain without quantum mechanics.

A big one is chemistry is highly dependent on quantum mechanics. You could have a limited understanding of ionic compounds with just the Columbic force, but covalent bonds require quantum mechanics to explain.

Most of physics history is studying the edge cases and gaps in the current understanding, and filling those in. Quantum mechanics didn’t just appear suddenly; it was derived as an explanation for many previously unexplained phenomena in pieces my many different people over time.

Inference only. I’m looking into doing some fine tuning. Training from scratch is another story.

I’ve run an LLM on my desktop GPU and gotten decent results, albeit not nearly as good as what ChatGPT will get you.

This feels relevant: The Device has been Modified by Victims of Science a song made of quotes from Portal.

You’ll feel right at home in the command line. Install Homebrew or MacPorts. These are command line package managers. Many if not most of the software tools you are used to on Linux likely have Mac versions as well and you can find them either online or via one of those package managers.

If you are going to download software from Apple’s Apple Store, you will need to make an account. You can install software directly from the internet without needing an account. You might need to tweak some “security settings” in System Preferences to run software not from the App Store.

Unfortunately Xcode is something you need an Apple account to install. However, the Xcode “command line tools”, which includes a lot of common tools like gcc, I believe you can install by running “xcode-select --install” from the command line even without an account. There might also be other ways to get those tools installed manually / not through Apple

If you just want an IDE and really want to avoid making an account, just use VSCode or something. But if you will need to develop Mac apps using Apple’s APIs, it will likely be easier at the very least to work in Xcode. And if you are going to develop for any of Apple’s other operating systems (like iOS) you will need to make an account.

Minecraft FTL Destiny 2

I’m really not sure where I originally read it. I did some digging and I found some discussion about FLAC and patent trolls on a few forums, including the Talk page of the Wikipedia article, but I haven’t found anything concrete.

It might be that the patent troll thing was just a rumor!

I think both work since opus is the codec but ogg is the container, but personally I’d probably go with .opus because it’s more descriptive.

Btw Apple’s ALAC and AAC files are typically stored in an mp4 container but with the m4a extension to mark it as intended to be audio only (although it may have a video track, which usually is used for album art).

Yes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.

Also ALAC is a free and open source codec which also has wide support.

And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion.

So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.

Apple made ALAC as an alternative to FLAC due to the dubious licensing around FLAC at the time.

For what it’s worth, the two people I know who are playing this game were fans of the previous games and absolutely love the new one.

I played through the entirety of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on my phone. That was a feature length PS2 game.

Other feature length games with decent ports I know of:

• Transistor
• Bastion
• Ace Attorney
• Myst
• Riven
• Minecraft
• Terraria

Game looks neat but do the devs know what “mirth” means? Weird title.
