No, it's the other way around. Quoting another comment:

>"Yes" means stop control, because it's a "proposition de rejet" we're looking at. rejet = reject

To me the most annoying thing about the UG is that your company name needs to include "UG (haftungsbeschränkt)", no abbreviations allowed. So unaesthetic...
Had a machine that was stuck on this update, the manual workaround resolved it.

It applies if you choose to "overwrite" any file that is larger than the generated PNG data.

I tried Meshroom and RealityCapture (both on Windows) and the latter yielded better results in a fraction of the time. YMMV.
Re:LosslessCut: lossless video/audio editing on Tuesday December 13, 2022 @11:24AM (#33970999)
When cutting with ffmpeg you can use "frame-accurate seeking", but you may run into issues down the road (e.g. audio/video being out of sync).

Blackbird gets blocked by Defender immediately. Not sure why I'm surprised.

edit: Then again, that tool does seem to make it quite easy to damage your Windows installation.

movzx eax, al

is one byte shorter, but I'm not sure if any of this would make a difference. x86 is tricky.

In case somebody wonders, the Greek drink in question is Kykeon [1] which was consumed during the Eleusinian Mysteries [2].

Re:The promise of pills that do nothing on Sunday October 17, 2021 @04:38AM (#28894915)
From one of the studies [1]: >Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers.

I wonder what the results would have been with a less suggestive presentation.

I always get the UI, no matter how fast I press the keys (W10 1903). This may have been different on previous versions.

Certum offers cheap code signing certificates for open source developers. I don't know how "good" they are, though, just stumbled across them a while ago because MPC-BE is using one.

Re:Was ditching the headphone jack a good idea? on Sunday September 16, 2018 @06:31AM (#17998255)
Exactly. My old iPod touch is a mere 6.1 mm thick and has a headphone jack....
You're probably referring to SetWindowLong. A 64-bit compatible version (SetWindowLongPtr) of that function is available since Windows 2000.

I'm pretty sure there's a guide on how to properly port applications to 64-bit on MSDN somewhere.
