Now THAT'S a name I haven't heard in a long time. Yes, DivX was the sh*t back in the day. So good!
Re:Alomware Toolbox: Windows tool prevents OLED screen burn-in

I had to use Google Translate to read it. An interesting concept to prevent taskbar burn-in on Windows.

How come Meta's glasses are still a thing when Google's glasses got shut down for privacy reasons? What's the difference?

Re:Dark Mode vs. Light Mode: Which Is Better?
on Sunday January 18, 2026 @01:40AM (#46665358)
Light mode for me. Dark is just weird, IMO. I don't get more eye strain from light like so many other people do. I also don't wear sunglasses when outside, ever. Maybe I've got strong eyes.

This proposal is so wrong. One person (a judge) should not hold the power of a decision due to personal biases.

I want to know how they understand how cats and dogs see. They say certain colors, but how do they know for sure?

Wish the stereo images were cross-eyed mode. They're easier to see that way.

Sorry, just saw this. Yes, there's a setting in the app to use a larger font.

Yahtzee is 100% random luck from dice rolls. You can't "solve" it.

I still prefer AlomWare Toolbox, because it can autotype things from different triggers other than just hotkeys or hotstrings, such as the text in PC notifications when they appear.

> There is something I like about win32 gui programming
Totally agree with you. I use an excellent PC app called AlomWare Toolbox, and it's the epitome of Win32 design (https://www.alomware.com/images/tab-automation.png), and despite it doing so much it's only about 3 MB in size because of it. No frameworks with it either, just a single executable file. I wish all software were still like this.

I prefer Alomware Toolbox over PowerToys. Does similar (and more) things and is portable.
Re:Psion Series 5 USB keyboard

Looks great! I had both a Psion 3c and Series 5mx, but both broke due to their folding design. It was the hinges on the 3c, and ribbon on the 5mx. A damn shame as they were great little computers. I still fire up the 5mx emulator on Windows to this day to revisit my old apps and play with it. :)
