This post is for the documentation purpose. Looking back, most people would immediately find the solution before questioning all the other myriads of avenues of possibilities like I did. Long story short, fixing the problem wasn’t the issue. It was why it happened that boggled my mind. During the installation of Python 3.14.2 through pyenv,…
Python, with its dominant status, does not have an easy way to install and kickstart the experience for beginners or anyone who simply wishes to run Python scripts. Fortunately, for most modern systems, it comes packaged with some version of Python — which is also inevitably an open invitation for disaster. Python has been changing…
I have lost much hope for RTS genre. I am growing too old for it. Starcraft II was one of the recent real-time strategy I enjoyed, but that game came out in 2010. I recall the game and the genre in general progressively becoming more physically demanding to add more contents, until we saw Overlord…
I won’t name names, but there are services that do not let a user change the email address. It’s a hilarious oversight in systems, as two entirely different people may have similar email addresses. I was once given an email address of that is ridiculous short initials with illegible numbers attached. Soon as the organization…
When was it ever a good time to build a PC? And I’m not talking about simple web browsing and office work level of hardwares — the ones the hobbyists are building are never the most common spec. For hobbyists, there is a news we often see almost every year, like a halloween scare, ‘check…
I am always bit confused about Chilla’s Art games. The developer has published many retro styled Japanese horrors, and as far as I could gather, games are never set post 2010s, the age of smartphones. There is always a digital camera, a flashlight, or a camcorder. The supernatural horror as we know it, or at…
AI was the talk of the town during Christmas dinner, so I thought to give Faceminer a chance. Even before AI was such a hit, we — everyone who has seen the crypto ads on social media — have seen the whole mining rig as a business opportunity to ‘work from home’. It has been…
As a fan of Orwell series, a similar game released in 2016, The Operator immediately had my fullest attention with its retro take on agent-handler system. The retro futurism from the 90s was wild, and the game does not shy away from it. The media thought ancient computer systems hooked up to a CRT monitor…
It’s nearing the end of the year, and before we start preparing Christmas gifts some of my friends and I started discussing how are we making rooms of new stuffs. Or to put it more bluntly, we were asking each other how we are getting rid of old electronics. Nintendo Switch 2 was released in…
In the beginning of current generation consoles, there were questions as to why Nintendo seems to be fighting a different kind of competition. Gamers generally buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo-branded games, and currently Nintendo Switch line of products (at the time of writing, Switch 2 has been on the market for half a year). It…
iRobot filed for Chapter 11. The news shouldn’t surprise anyone. Since the Amazon deal faltered, it seemed only a matter of time until some form of reorganization is needed. This bankruptcy may be that catalyst, a second chance. That’s likely the business side of iRobot’s saga. I believe the current downfall of iRobot has less…
It is quite unusual for a manufacturer to include readable description such as (10k, Slim) in its product name, but part of me thinks it is at least comprehensible than some random numbers we see on some generic electronics. For clarification purposes, I would like to add the one I’m discussing in this post is…
I can’t speak for all Bose speakers — this might be an issue only with older models. One I have is SoundLink Revolve II, a cylinder-shaped speaker with an optional charging cradle. I use my speaker to play music or radio (via smartphone app) while showering or doing morning routines. It’s great for what it…
Routine is, or was, a game in development hell for 13 years. Announced in 2012 with the release window set in 2013, it is no wonder the talks I could find on the game are largely the pure surprise on the mere fact it had not been fully abandoned. No doubt with 13 years of…
Stellaris has come the long way since its 1.0 release. I, for one, only heard about the franchise after 2.0, but I can certainly attest to the fact that the game has seen major changes that would affect not only min-maxing, but general rule of the games entirely. One such occasion is actually the added…
