    RileyTheFox got a reaction from The bearded one in Concerns with FloatPlane Pricing   
    Currently, 2.99 for each creator is really cheap. When they get a load of other creators on board, I'd expect them to make an 'Access all channels'. For a higher price than an individual creator, but less than if you purchased them separately. The PayPal thing is just you being out of luck. They had to make it so they baked a purchased sub-forum and payment system on here in the first place. I believe who they use for payments only accepts PayPal at the moment. Luke recently hired someone to manage all the payment side of things for when thefloatplane.com is up and running.
     
    I don't think I'll ever get Floatplane tbh. If YouTube fails and then they have to do Floatplane permanently, I'd buy it then. Although YouTube has a few more years of joking around with its creators before anything happens.

    The first thing you need is the programming manual for the ISA the CPU uses. I'm going to assume you're using x86, so here's the programming manual for that: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/manuals/64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-instruction-set-reference-manual-325383.pdf. There may be some implementation differences between Intel and AMD processors, but you'll largely never encounter this for casual programming.
     
    As for programming in assembly itself, this may help https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assembly_programming/. And they're using x86 so it should be useful for your specific case.
     
    Also writing "Hello world" in assembly isn't going to be as easy as most other languages, mostly due to the fact that the input/output is not as abstracted and is dependent on the OS. For example, this is how to do it in Linux (and BSD and BeOS): http://asm.sourceforge.net/intro/hello.html
     
    I highly recommend learning assembly outside of an OS environment, i.e., on bare metal. When you're talking in the hardware's language, it helps if you can directly manipulate it without constraint. Modern OSes will do everything they can to prevent you from doing this (at least, if you're running your app with userland privileges).

    If your talking phsyicaly ,,u could just sit it on ur desk, perhaps on a bit of foam padding. If the SSD is using up a full 3.5" sled then take it out, use the sled for the HDD and just use some double sidded tape or zip ties to hold the SSD somewhere else. ..or just tuck it in the case loose somewhere.

    RileyTheFox got a reaction from Taf the Ghost in Old Star Wars games appear on Origin   
    In recent days, many old games of the Star Wars franchise appeared for sale on EA's games platform, Origin. This is quite surprising considering the most iconic Star Wars game on there, Star Wars Battlefront II (not the 2017 version) was released in 2005. The developers of the game, Pandemic Studios, ceased operations in 2009 shortly after being bought out by EA. There are no stories on this as I've yet seen but I thought this might be interesting.
     
    Battlefront II is currently on sale for £2.87. Much cheaper than Steam's offering of around £7.
     
    There's two things that could possibly happen with the old games being on Origin. In Battlefront II's specific case, online mode may be brought back fully after the servers were shut down in 2014. The servers did open back up in a small effort at the start of this year, however it had many bugs and the main menus are not designed for 16:9 displays. Considering EA bought Pandemic Studios, they would have all rights and possibly original game files to the original Battlefront II and may update the game to support newer technologies and also enable online mode once more. 
     
    The other thing (and most likely thing) that might be happening is that EA is just trying to make an attempt at getting people to buy the old games for as cheap as possible to get more money. If this is the case, I don't see it being too successful as most people who played the games before either had it on disc or bought it on Steam years later.
     
    If EA actually started to bring functionality back to the game, I would definitely buy the game for the insanely cheap price just to play it again, as I can only imagine they will push the updates to Origin to encourage people to buy it on their platforms again. Online play is only playable if you download a modded exe file that points the address to the online servers to a custom hosted one. This is obviously something many people don't know exists/how to do so the player numbers are ludicrously small. If official online play was brought back, it may make people want to buy it for the nostalgic feels of the old game.

    (I'm sorry there are no quotes, no media outlet has posted on this because it is probably irrelevant, but I believe there might be a plan to this other than squeezing more money out of it)

    I don’t know if it’s the same version. I bought the Steam version when I heard about multiplayer being enabled this year and I played around 8 hours of it before I got fed up of the bugs every damn time I tried to join lobbies. 
     
    Im hoping they update the game to make it more stable. The main menu needs changing to support 16:9 and online play could be more stable than it is on Steam.
    I don’t think so. Battlefront II can be bought without a membership for £3.

    Do an AND operation on Note.Flags with the enum you want. It'll either equal the enum or 0.
     
    EDIT: If you want to check if multiple enums exist, OR the ones you want to check for, then AND it with Notes.Flags.

They use it to feed sugar to children, so they all get fat and need the new fitness watch Microsoft is about to release a year after! But they get worse, they even try to extract information to fuel the ice addiction further. When will the madness stop?!

    RileyTheFox reacted to AngryBeaver in Get a new/used 10 series card or an RTX 2070?   
    Seeing that the 2070 is listed as 600 MSRP atm... I am hesitant to recommend it without seeing some benchmarks
     
    Plus the current pricing is probably going to see a massive dip in the next few months after the initial prelaunch hype is over. I mean 1200 for a 2080ti is going to hit a lot of pocket books pretty hard and unless the performance is huge I don't see many people justifying that expense.
     
    Then you have Ray tracing hype. which is nice and I am skeptical of it being a good real time solution, but it does make these cards more appealing to designers and the like. I just have a feeling Ray tracing (unless also adopted by AMD) is going to be a lot like Physx and Hairworks. It will be nice in the few games that have it, but will be a gimmicky Nvidia thing without a high adoption rate.
