This wont help. The device creation code is wrong, as it forcefully tries to create a mixed vertex processing device(without checking if Hardware T&L is available). Mixed vertex processing requires hardware vertex processing, and the GMA3000 and older intel iGPUS can't do hardware vertex processing, thus device creation fails.2 points

the latest version is 9.0.33.35 and it works no kernel version spoofing. (i did have to manually reinstall webroot as it was on 9.0.31.84). im gonna use sfc /scannow to basically reset windows to a fresh state system file wise to verify if it works without the extended kernel. (i'll edit this message with how that went when im done.) EDIT1: appearently webroot decided it wanted me to use 9.0.31.84 just as i was running sfc /scannow. final edit: 9.0.33.35 requires the extended kernel. so you will probably have to copy webroot from Newer OS installation to update it.2 points

I guess I don't have a formulated opinion about a lot of things either. Back when I was 18, practically all classmates were getting their driver's license. Me? Didn't happen 'till 5 years later. I probably wouldn't own a car if I didn't have to drive to work. If me and brother's time when we're done with work wasn't as variable, we'd likely share one car. My head feels empty a lot of time. People I see out there somehow seem to have this idea what to do with their life in general. So then put me in the formula, add the car, don't add driving to work. Where am I supposed to go? Just randomly drive around like in GTA? That'd be expensive hobby! I have to say today was special. Traffic on the road to where I live was normal, just like in the good 'ol days! Seems like people have nothing better to do than move from one place to another all the time. It wasn't like this just few years back, at least where I live. Was quite a change, everything feels different. I almost felt like back in the beginning of driving school when I drove off. My thoughts were: "Why am I going so slow? Oh, I have to push the pedal further. The pedals are so soft. Wow, it's so quiet, I can hear myself think! What are all these kilometer numbers?" Few minutes later taking a turn at the gas station: "Is it just me or is the clicking sound the same as in brother's Astra?". Waiting for one of the pumps to get clear: "Huh, the engine just shut down on its own". The driver in front drives off and I push the clutch: "Oh, now it goes.". Later outside of town: "OK, where's the RPM meter? Has to be somewhere, right? Guess I'll find it when I get home". There were more thoughts, but I have to end it here to get some sleep now. I'm still recovering from mild cold I caught last Friday. Weather / climate's been really bipolar recently.1 point

Full moon in October: The wine moon is in the sign of the supply The October full moon is also known as the wine moon. © Svorska/Imago Full moon in October: The wine moon is in the sign of the supply: https://newsrnd.com/news/2022-10-04-full-moon-in-october--the-wine-moon-is-in-the-sign-of-the-supply.ByUR86Ffi.html Full moon in October 2022: The wine moon is in the sign of supplies Created: 10/04/2022, 2:30 p.m By: Joana Lück During October 9, 2022 is the next full moon. According to the lunar calendar, on October 9th at 10:54 p.m. the moon will be exactly opposite the sun and we will see a full moon. The full moon in October is also known as the wine moon because grapes – whether in the garden or on industrial slopes – are usually harvested in the tenth month of the year. ... Hunting in October also played a major role in supply. That is why the October full moon is also known as the hunter's moon. Like the September full moon, it also has the third nickname harvest moon....1 point

Yes to both questions. Anyway, just give me some time, i will try to explain better later. EDIT: here it is. After creating the mD3D9 object, the code(in the DeviceManagerD3D9::Initialize() method) should check if hardware T&L is available, like this: uint32 behaviorFlags = 0; D3DCAPS9 pD3D9DeviceCaps; mD3D9->GetDeviceCaps(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, &pD3D9DeviceCaps); if (pD3D9DeviceCaps.DevCaps & D3DDEVCAPS_HWTRANSFORMANDLIGHT) { if (pD3D9DeviceCaps.DevCaps & D3DDEVCAPS_PUREDEVICE) { behaviorFlags |= D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING | D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED | D3DCREATE_PUREDEVICE | D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE; } else { behaviorFlags |= D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING | D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED | D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE; } } else { behaviorFlags |= D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING | D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED | D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE; } Then, after checking the underlying hardware caps, simply create a device with the correct parameters, like this: if (!mDevice) { hr = mD3D9->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, mFocusWnd, behaviorFlags, &pp, getter_AddRefs(mDevice)); if (FAILED(hr) || !mDevice) { gfxCriticalError() << "[D3D9] Failed to create the device, code: " << hexa(hr); return false; } } the same thing applies to D3D9ex. Anyway, like i said earlier, the code original code tries to create a mixed vertex processing device, but it seems like it never switch to software vertex processing mode(via the IDirect3DDevice9::SetSoftwareVertexProcessing method), which is very odd.1 point

Great work, but Webroot might warrant more attention. Changes for Consumer PC Agent Version 9.0.31.84 (Released September 28, 2021) state that it was “the final build provided for Vista systems.” I found no official download link, but saw a report at Reddit that this build broke Intel NIC drivers, so one version earlier might be more recommendable. In the replies below PC Agent Version 9.0.30.75, TripleHelix posted a download link. (Unfortunately my old Vista hardware is kaput. ) I must mention and thank @CameronSM36 who posted March 25, 2021 that he was successfully using Webroot 9.0.29.62 on Vista (both with and without extended kernel). If he is still using Webroot on Vista or can confirm the last version he was able to use, then I hope he will post!1 point

I'm not convinced the DST discrepancy "issue" is unrelated to your "history" predicament inside 360EE ... Please, as a courtesy, don't wait until BST ends, as it'll be too late then to check any "theory" around this ... Do now what I instructed you to do: , wait for 4-5 days and report back! You stand to lose absolutely nothing from this "test" ! Cheers1 point

As I have proposed in a previous post, change your computer's time (in just the Windows XP partition, of course) to one of the available "GMT+01:00" variants, making sure you deselect "Automatically adjust clock for DST"; you may have to reboot XP for that to take full effect; ALL of your browsers on XP will then display the correct BST time! When BST ends (last Sunday of October 2022, i.e. on the 30th), you'll have to re-adjust XP's timezone back to GMT+00:00; it has been established, beyond doubt, that 360EE versions, on WinXP specifically, can't pick up the DST offset from the OS (even when that is correctly set) - not the case for Mozilla Firefox based browsers and some older Chromium-based ones ...1 point

Of course it is, via either "chrome://extensions/" or "chrome://myextensions/", when "Developer mode" has been "ticked": Clicking the "Load unpacked" button will open a "Directory Selection Popup", where you have to select (point it to) the dir containing the unzipped Chromium extension to be installed...

Scientists blasted plastic with lasers and turned it into tiny diamonds and a new type of water Plastics shocked with a high-energy laser generate nanodiamonds with a range of technological applications.(Image credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) By Robert Lea published 6 days ago New research inspired by ice giants like Neptune and Uranus shows lasers can transform a common plastic into tiny diamonds. Using ultrapowerful lasers, scientists have blasted cheap plastic and transformed it into tiny "nanodiamonds" — and, in doing so, confirmed the existence of an exotic new type of water. . The findings could potentially reveal the existence of diamond rain on ice giants in our solar system and explain why these frigid worlds have such strange magnetic fields. The laser-blasting technique could also lead to more Earthly applications. Nanodiamonds are diamonds that measure just a few nanometers, or billionths of a meter. They have both existing and potential applications, such as turning carbon dioxide into other gases and delivering drugs into the body, study co-author Dominik Kraus, a physicist at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany, told Live Science. "Nanodiamonds could also be used as ultrasmall and very precise quantum sensors for temperature and magnetic fields, which may result in a plethora of applications," Kraus said. The technique could also reduce plastic pollution by creating a financial incentive to clear and transform plastics from the ocean, he said. An experiment with cool implications for ice giant planets For many years, planetary scientists have suspected that diamonds form within the frigid interiors of ice giants such as Neptune and Uranus. If these diamonds do form, they would then "rain" through the interiors of these frozen worlds. To see whether this process was feasible, the researchers took a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic — the type found in plastic bottles — and used a high-powered optical laser found at the Matter in Extreme Conditions instrument in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's Linac Coherent Light Source to heat the plastic to around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius). This created pressures millions of times greater than that of Earth's atmosphere for just billionths of a second. This bone-crushing pressure shocked the plastic, causing the carbon atoms in the plastic to reconfigure into a crystalline structure, with hydrogen and oxygen drifting through this lattice. "Using a powerful X-ray laser, we could look inside the sample and create movies of the chemical reactions happening there," Kraus said. "We saw very efficient formation of nanodiamonds inside the compressed plastics within the timescale of our experiments — just a few nanoseconds." Everyday plastic that makes up common plastic bottles could be shocked with lasers to create valuable nanodiamonds. (Image credit: Robert Lea/Mario Sarto) The new research shows that this type of diamond formation may be more common than scientists previously believed, raising the chances that ice giants may sport thick layers of diamonds around their solid cores. The experiment also strongly suggests that at the high temperatures and pressures found in the interiors of such icy worlds, an exotic state of water, called superionic water ice, emerges....

"More psyche than virus"? German long-Covid study with new findings and surprising conclusion "More psyche than virus"? German long-Covid study with new findings and surprising conclusion Created: 09/13/2022, 12:19 p.m By: Anna Lorenz A current study by the Essen University Hospital on Long-Covid leads to a new perspective on the disease. According to the study, the psyche could play a crucial role. Essen - so many facets, so few facts: Long-Covid as a disease resulting from a corona infection is quieter in the media, but no less serious. On closer inspection, it becomes clear: having to live for weeks and months with diffuse symptoms that can severely impair everyday life and not knowing whether the symptoms will go away is extremely stressful. A study by the University Hospital Essen started to research the causes of Long-Covid - with surprising results. Long-Covid: Fatigue, brain fog, memory problems - is it all psychological? It's a terrible idea: Day after day you're plagued by all sorts of ailments, indisposition, tiredness. The symptoms are sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker or alternate. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight, and scientifically unambiguous findings are still lacking. When physical examinations then all end without findings, those affected often feel helpless. Nevertheless, there are some questionable "miracle treatments" for long-Covid, which medical professionals clearly advise against. But what if Long-Covid were psychological? It is understandable that many patients who have to struggle with the disease in everyday life feel alienated by this thesis. As author Thomas Müller explains in the specialist portal SpringerMedizin , those affected finally described brain fog, memory problems and language difficulties as the most common symptoms of Long-Covid - and thus processes that can basically be located in neurology. However, a study by the University Hospital Essen surprised with test results that make the psyche appear as an important factor in long-Covid illness. Study: Long-Covid patients are examined neurologically - surprising results Current study: Fleischer, M., Szepanowski, F., Tovar, M. et al. Post-COVID-19 Syndrome is Rarely Associated with Damage of the Nervous System: Findings from a Prospective Observational Cohort Study in 171 Patients. Neurol Ther (2022). The study can be found here. In the cohort study with 171 patients, the scientists examined the extent to which damage to the nervous system was found in long-Covid patients. For this, those affected were “subjected to comprehensive neurological diagnostics”. Nerves, blood vessels and signal transmission in cells and tissues were examined and blood analyzes were carried out. “Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture were performed in subgroups of patients. In addition, patients underwent neuropsychological, psychosomatic, and fatigue assessments,” the study said. The result: 85.8 percent of the people examined, who were mostly female and middle-aged, showed no neurological abnormalities. Most of the subjects had suffered mild to moderate acute COVID-19 and reported clear signs of illness. Nevertheless, the doctors were only able to make a diagnosis in 2.3 percent of the cases that was not long-Covid or seemed to be related to the previous corona infection. Explosive Essen study: "Long-Covid has much more to do with the psyche than with the virus" However, the scientists made some discoveries. For example, “sensory or motor complaints” frequently occurred in combination with another neurological diagnosis instead of Long-Covid. Previous mental illnesses could also be identified as a “risk factor for the development of a post-COVID-19 syndrome”. Is Long-Covid a matter of the mind? As a result, however, "increased levels of somatization indicate a pathogenesis that may include psychosomatic factors" - or, as the co-author of the study, Prof. Christoph Kleinschnitz from the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital Essen, put it in an interview with Bild: “In other diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, one can clearly identify a focus of inflammation in the brain. In the case of long-Covid, the findings are normal in most cases. We conclude from this: Long-Covid has much more to do with the psyche than with the virus.” ...

I was able to integrate gcc (using mingw64) into vs code using the official instructions on the vs code site, but it seems that gdb doesn't work at all with the extended kernel. I need to fix that. As it stands I can compile and build applications within VS code, but I must run them outside of VS code. So only printf/cout-ish debugging for now!1 point
