#window hack

[catgirlbulge]

Hey y'all, there's been a zero-day vulnerability found in WinRAR, so you gotta update it if you're on an older version (anything below 6.24/6.23). It doesn't auto update so you need to do it manually. It's been around for a few months and has been fixed, but if you don't update your shit then your computer will still be vulnerable.

please reblog this so that people learn about it or whatever (10/19/23)

Tony: I've figured out your plan on how to sneak out and be Spiderman!

Peter: Well that just proves you're an idiot because I don't have a plan!

underrated 3ds and ds games you can get on hshop and archive.org right now for free

Style Savvy: Styling Star is an eshop exclusive 3ds game that released after the Switch. Way after the Switch. It released on Christmas. It is the worst selling game in the Style Savvy franchise. A shame, because it's the best one. It is a fashion game where you dress up different customers who all want to become singers. There are styles in it that I hadn't ever heard of before playing it. It has gothic lolita, gyaru, pop kei, girly kei, and lots of other j-fashions that I didn't know about before playing it. And there's lesbianism in it. I am not joking. There are actual fictional lesbians in this Nintendo published game. Go play it

Boxboy, Boxboxboy, and Bye-Bye Boxboy are three eshop exclusives, with the last one being released after the Switch. I'm noticing a pattern here. They were developed by the same studio as Kirby, and they (debatably) share a universe. The gameplay of the first game starts off slow, but there is a plot twist halfway through the game. This trend continues to a point where I would consider Bye-Bye Boxboy to be a horror game. There is a fourth game on Switch called Boxboy + Boxgirl, but I would recommend saving that one for after you beat the 3ds trilogy. Oh yeah and the main character is a guy and you can make him wear bows and dresses and makeup. He's gnc af. The only other thing I have to say in regards to its plot is to look very closely at the box behind the player character in the first level of the first game.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Last Window: The Secret of Cape West are two visual novel puzzle games for the DS. You play as Kyle Hyde, who is a complete and utter asshole. He is a salesman who used to be a police detective. He shot his partner (who he was probably gay for) 3 years ago and quit the force. Now it's 1979 and he's spending a night at Hotel Dusk for his job. The second game takes place in the apartment building he lives in. Uh oh! His landlady sold it and it's going to be demolished next month. He spends his last week there investigating the unsolved murder of his father. This one only released in Europe and Japan before its developer went out of business. Sad! This is maybe the only video game that has a novelisation of itself inside of it. They really leaned heavily into the visual novel aspect. Also the soundtrack and artstyle of these games are absolutely gorgeous. Please play them

Had to share this life hack my mom taught me.

When you're moving (or just wanting to move your furniture), measure your rooms and furniture. Then get yourself some grid paper, draw your rooms to scale, and then cut out pieces for your furniture. It's much easier to move around bits of paper over and over than full size couches and beds to figure out where they'll fit.

Once you're happy with the layout, tape down the pieces. On moving day, you'll know exactly where everything will go, and that it will fit the first time. It's low tech, but it works.

PS: We made little pop-up book foldables for the recliners, so we'd know how much room they'd need to recline, which made us feel pretty smart.

So i found this beauty in the electronics bin :(

An ACER e300 series travel companion from 2006.

GPS and multimedia player in the shape of a mobile device. it seems to be rare enough that i cant find anything about it, other than the manual.

this thing runs on Windows CE. Basicly just mobile windows that is stripped down to the bare essentials.

I don't have any use for a pocket gps as it doesn't even have a map, but the audio playback is very good for it's size. With the inclusion of an SD card slot and a AUX port. (now that something you cant find on a modern device)

So i thought i'd use it as a ipod of sorts.

The first problem i came across was that this doesn't support anything outside of MP3s and WAV files. as i wanted to pull some videogame audio onto it, witch were Ogg files.

So as the tech lover with a tendency of slipping my fingers into most devices i own (and don't own...). I just had to see if i can update it to support a wider variety of formats. And maybe along the way remove the old interface for a more purpose built one... maybe.

The issues

The software for accessing this thing are obsolete as hell and are no longer supported.

Shes built like a tank and i cant get her open :(

related to number 1. any guide on how to access the software has a "pocket pc" witch this is not...

The goal is to hack this and make it mine :3. maybe make my own splash screen and menu, but essentially make it read more formats.

i'll continue this post ones i get something going.

Might come across weird but I really enjoy seeing posts like 'ugh doing chores sucks' on my dash. it's recently so full of posts of the calamities going on that I just felt a pang of relief seeing ur post. also I'm picking up a random book from ur floor and putting it into the shelf

THANK YOU for picking up my Swedish to English dictionary. It's been sitting on the floor for like two weeks. the situation was getting dire.

And yeah. Especially with the *gestures* everything going on, it's nice to get a reminder of the normal mundane things of life. Like yeah I gotta clean my room after procrastinating for two weeks. But you know what? Once I'm done and I'm sitting in my lovely cleaned room, it'll feel GREAT. Like fuck yeah. I cleaned my room! I'm enjoying sitting in this environment! And my life will be, momentarily (as it will inevitably get dirty again, this is the entropy of life) better than it was before :)

I found a ton of my old ps1 and pc cd games c. Like 1996-2000 and now instead of like 'oh nice, guess I'll get rid of these now that ive had a nice memory' I'm like 'i wonder if that weird second hand tech shop has a ps1...'

My mom, who I live with, just tested positive for RSV, and I woke up with just the slightest tickle in my chest this morning. I don't love where this is going

isnt it crazy that someone can make a completely legal app for ios but if apple doesn't want it in its app store because of lol lmao reasons you have to then go through a gazillion loops just to get this one app and also millions of people buy apple's products because they don't see the problem with an operating system that fully controls what you can or can't have on your device and also has several other major problems. insane

if your ancient laptop that takes half an hour to turn on that you've only kept around for the purpose of it having an sd card slot has a message popping up that's the classic "program won't respond. close program?" read it and THINK befire clicking yes. for me the program was just "windows", so i thought my dear old laptop meant the file explorer for some reason bc it was the only thing running. it did not. my screen immediately went to black and now it's unable to turn on correctly <3
