GBA-Style JRPG 'Tako no Himitsu' Has Golden Sun And Terranigma Staff Involved
  • Wasn't Sword of Mana on GBA? I think I had fun with that game.

  • I believe fleet is still in preview. I'm not a power user so I can't tell you how it compares to VS Code.

    Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available, emerging from beta to challenge Microsoft's similar Visual Studio Code editor, with which it shares much tech.

    Why the West fears massive job losses because of China’s clean tech prowess
  • The west should step their game up instead of trying to contain the inevitable.

  • A surprising winner in the Supreme Court gun ruling: Hunter Biden
  • Would this ruling also apply to non-violent felons? A blanket gun ban due to having a felony looks unconstitutional. Why should someone convicted of fraud have their right to defend themselves taken? It also looks like an easy tool to use to disarm people the government don't like.

  • US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk'
  • I think it's region locked so good luck finding it. I don't recommend pirating it because they usually contain viruses.

  • That actually works. Also I didn't know you can save these mappings of the controller to the system. Thanks

  • How do you test visual programing languages?
  • There are quite a few of them

  • Perfect Dark Controls
  • Could Nintendo at least offer a mapper that I could change it to how I want? They did enough re-coding to allow online multiplayer so adding in some customizability to the controls should be doable.

  • Perfect Dark Controls

    Ok so how the hell am I supposed to play this game with a regular Switch controller? After decades of using dual analog sticks and getting accustomed to a certain layout I am lost on how to navigate my favorite shooter. Why can't I map look and turn to the right joystick and move and strafe to the left? Why Nintendo?! Am I forced to pay $50 for the N64 controller?

    I should just continue to emulate on the Steam Deck. At least I can control it.

    How do you test visual programing languages?
  • I'm just trying to get a raise bro

  • How do you test visual programing languages?

    So how do you guys test visual programming languages? These languages include Labview, Simulink, Snaplogic, Slang, etc. I ask because I'm working on improving the testing suite we use at my job for Snaplogic. The way we currently lest is we have a suite of pipelines that have certain snaps and we just run those pipelines and look for errors in a testing environment every release.

    What I'm really trying to figure out is how to run Functional Tests (unit, integration, system) and Non-Functional Tests (security, performance). In a language such as Python this can be straight forward but in a visual language or a service offered by another company then it is a bit more difficult.

    I am thinking of creating a custom test suite using the modules used in our pipelines and using Python to generate JSON and SQL data. Does anyone do something similar?

    Epic won’t update Fortnite to run on the Steam Deck. Tim Sweeney says Linux is ‘a terrifically hard audience to serve’ (2022)
  • Maybe there should be a feature that warns us if the article is more then 6 months old. Our maybe a bot could do it.

  • Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit
  • While the work could be outsourced to foreign countries there is still some hurdles to overcome. Language barriers, cultural barriers, time zones, labor laws, the paperwork involved with taxes, worker reliability, the threat of scams (see N. Korea), etc. But hey, let them find out for themselves.

  • Perfect Dark - Gameplay Reveal - Xbox Games Showcase 2024
  • The alien was Elvis. I hope he comes back. What I miss the most was multiplayer. Playing with four people and bots that you could issue orders to, all the multiplayer modes, the weapons and their second functions (laptop gun torrent), and I think it had multiplayer campaigns. Also all the extra objectives during campaign mode to unlock more missions. Fun times!

  • Beware of excessive holds at Love's Travel Stops

    So I had to travel across Ohio yesterday to pick someone up unexpectedly. The person I had to pick up was waiting at one of those Love's gas stations and I need to put some gas in the car to have enough to return home. I have a sedan and put in about $30 worth. I check my credit card online to plan how much I need to set aside to pay off my credit cards and they placed a $175 hold for that $30 purchase of fuel. This post is to warn everyone else about these holds. There is a class action lawsuit on this as well.

    Help Building a Stream Box

    So I don't know if this is the proper community to post this in but after the recent shenanigans that Roku has pulled I want to redo my entertainment setup and stream my media through a box I control. I have a couple of Odroid N2+ laying around and I'm trying to build a stream box out of them. First I tried CoreElec but Jellyfin didn't work out to well for me. Now I'm trying Android but some apps (cough* Curiosity Stream) are terrible.

    My question is what does the community use to stream their media? What I'm looking for is the ability to connect to Jellyfin servers, Nebula/Curiosity Stream/HiDive subscription service access, adblocked Youtube. Does anyone have a similar setup?

    [Question] Is this a secure way to generate passwords

    So I've been trying to create more secured passwords now that I have employment where I have responsibility. They require us to change our passwords every 3 months. I used to use the same passwords for multiple sites. Then I used a password manager and got rid of those memory passwords. With this job I don't want to mix my personal password manager with my work computer and I also don't want to remember a complicated 15 character long password to log in every day.

    That brings me to my question. I've been using Yubikeys for years. I store a challenge response, use it for 2FA on all sites that allow, and I use it for TOTP on most sites (there's a limit to how many entries in the Yubikey 5). You can also store a password in one of it's two slots. My thinking is this: Is it secure to store a base password that is long and complicated, say 40 characters long with all the characters, and use a different "prefix" for each application? Example: On my banking site I type in "bank" then press the Yubikey to type the rest. Same thing with social media and other accounts. Each one has a prefix and I don't know the actual password. Of course I store all passwords, including the Yubikey, in a password manager that's backed up in the cloud (I use KeePassXC).

    Your thoughts? Is this secure or stupid?
