    Compat Linux / Microsoft Teams

    Try with this flag, to fix the black screen issue after disabling composite: --override-use-software-gl-for-tests I was getting a similar black screen for Discord and it seems to work now that I've added this flag, using the above script as a skeleton.

    Home network setup

    www.zrouter.org - It's like openwrt, but uses FreeBSD as it's base instead. Note: I've never used it, so I don't know how "feature complete" it is. I have been aware of its existence for quite some time, however. break19

    Setting WiFi with Encore N300

    I hate to ask the obvious, but you did restart your machine after making said change, correct? Also, some output from dmesg might help as well. break19

    What is your coding style?

    I start off strong, but never actually finish anything worthwhile.

    FreeBSD and simplicity

    Yes. I was unable to get my Radeon 6670 to work with acceleration under FreeBSD 10-BETA3 and decided to simply use Linux on this machine until FreeBSD progresses to a point where I can switch back to it. My GeForce 9600GTX had died, and in a moment of weakness I bought the on-sale Radeon...

    Encore Wifi adapter

    Do this: go to http://www.google.com and type in "Encore N300 chipset" Upon doing that, you will learn that your device has an rtl8192cu chipset in it. Remember that. Next, go back to http://www.google.com, and type in "rtl8192cu FreeBSD" and lo! You'll discover that there is already a...

    Oh Windows...:facepalm:

    The original NTFS was actually a pretty damn close copy of OS/2 Warp's old HPFS. Hell, they even use the exact same partition type ID. HPFS was a collaboration between IBM and MicroSoft, released in 1988, and was, in fact, written by mostly MicroSoft coders. When MicroSoft decided to implement...

    pkg repository for FreeBSD 10

    In other words, the architecture that could MOST BENEFIT from, don't have packages, because it takes FOREVER to build on it, was dropped. Nice.

    pkg repository for FreeBSD 10

    I have an AthlonXP 2000+ still running FreeBSD. It is 32bit, and is my home NAS, as well as a backup desktop for when my Phenom2 crashes.

    Which desktop environment do you use at home?

    "The most" is a difficult answer. I guess it depends on what I'm doing. I have a small custom-built NAS/backup desktop that runs FreeBSD, and has XFCE4 on it, my little girl has a repurposed Macbook Pro that runs ArchLinux with KDE, my wife's laptop is Windows 8, and my desktop system dual...

    Which is your desktop environment?

    I have a work-provided iPad, and work-provided iPhone, and do the majority of my work-related activities using them, so I use iOS at work.

    (work) iOS (iPad and iPhone. Yes, I use them for work.) (home) Windows 7, FreeBSD 10-CURRENT with Xfce4 (mobile) Android 4.1

    Have you heard of Quantum Computing?

    Oh, and from what I've read on the subject, the computer that is currently in operation, is very powerful, but there is a huge debate on whether or not it is an actual quantum computer. It's most definitely more powerful than anything out there, but does it -actually- use quantum tunneling...

    Have you heard of Quantum Computing?

    Don't be so pessimistic. After all, it only took a few decades to go from 1950 style massive building housing a single computer, to the 1980s computer explosion. Now, it might take another 20-30 years for the new qubit based systems to miniaturize the same way. I don't know about you, but I...

    FreeBSD 9.2 USB peripherals

    Odd.. I have both a USB mouse and a USB keyboard. Mine both work fine in FreeBSD 9.2. I do have issues at boot, but that is because I have Legacy USB disabled in the BIOS. If I need BIOS / Boot Loader access, I do have a PS/2 keyboard I could use. Both of my USB peripherals work in both the...

    I know I'm a smartass because....

    My grandmother was discussing my new job and says "So where are you now" in reference to my training. I answered her with "on this barstool at moms sitting in front of you." "I meant in your job, you smartass shit" LOL, love my granny :)

    Forget your love

    This exact scenario is why I will never attempt to begin a personal relationship with someone I will have to continue working closely with. Makes things too awkward if/when the relationship goes sour.

    The great Gordon Ramsay wannabe thread

    I actually made something quite similar to this, with other items (boiled cabbage, mac n cheese) the day I proposed to my now wife, about 11 years ago.. :) Then, I taught her how to do it, and she's been improving upon my old throw-together ever since. LOL
