Seems like there is a multi-industry push to move into Texas; came across a video the other day of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson (and other big name actors) reprising their True Detective role calling for the Texas legislature to increase incentives that bring Hollywood productions over to Texas.

Thanks for taking the time to do this today!

I'd like to ask how you found yourself practicing in this area of the law and any advice you may have for those who will be entering law school in a few months.

I will be heading into my first year of law school in a few months with some general ideas of what I'd like to do after graduation (compliance, regulatory, M&A, contracts) with no concrete ideas either way.

- Would you have any specific advice on what you would have liked to have done in law school that would have helped you later on in your career that you'd recommend students to tackle early on?

- Are there any "wasted time/effort traps" that you might caution students to look out for as they navigate their program?

What game was it? Why couldn't you play it? Those usually play fine.

DK: Oz, The Magical Adventure

It wasn't so much an issue with the system but the actual game itself. The director (.dxr) files are all corrupted sadly. Tried some 'hacks' to maybe even get a peak/convert the files with very old installs of Macromedia and some extra software but came up short. The game would load - but when you're taken to the startup screen, the assets kick back an error of '..file is not director file...' and crashes :(

It's on a todo, hopefully one day I can get it going haha :')

Oh neat! Hope this is okay to share here re: the context; but I uploaded a cache of files to spin up a Windows 95 VM in virtualbox to Archive a bit ago. Was messing around with it for a few weeks to try and get an old game my boyfriend wanted to play working that ultimately couldn't be achieved.

The .vhd is immediately bootable; just mess with the settings a bit. The .vdi requires you to patch with the FIX95CPU.iso.

Either way, documentation from the sources I used are included in the upload.

I'm guessing this is an automated message that was sent to all the subs that went from public to private in recent days. And there's no easy way for it to tell whether a given subreddit is "personal".

Seems like it; I have a personal subreddit the same as my username that I flip between private and restricted to post music videos I grab with an iOS shortcut (can't post video on private subs) and the same landed in that accounts inbox (2) days ago.

My other private subreddit for Wikipedia/github links has never flipped/flopped and it didn't get the same message.

dannyisaphantom commented on Understanding Passkeys   michal.sapka.me/2023/pass... · Posted by u/d-s

On my Windows laptop, I was able to set up a passkey with Windows Hello [a fingerprint swipe] to get into a secondary Google account that really only exists to store [pages of] coloring books (PDFs)

I'm admittedly ignorant in this domain; but I thought it was interesting that my built-in Chrome passwords were, and still are, locked behind the Windows Hello pop-up and now I could theoretically use that same mechanism to sign in to a google account all together.

The answer is probably in this article but I just don't understand; I'd love to know why Windows Hello can now be used to sign-in to the account. Probably won't use it in favor of an authenticator app.

Suppose I should do a test to see how passkey behaves for the account on a Windows laptop and how that will then work on a Chromebook...

I was just browsing your site a few days ago; did you just push a UI update? It looks a lot better and is a lot more relaxing on the eyes (eye strain) that it was before. Looks great.
