  • Rust Preinstalled

  • Is this the full rust rewrite everyone is talking about?

  • How/why does Microsoft teams exist?

    Jump

  • An important sidenote is "Skype for Business" has nothing to do with Skype MSFT acquired. It's just brand reuse to cover up their shitty product. What that product is? Good old MSN Messenger's on-prem sister i.e. ms lync. In fact Skype for business main .exe is still lync.exe . This was acceptable in early 2000s. Now those outdated ui elements, confused windows and scrambled chat history, ignoring the offline messages after the first one. It's wonky as hell to use in this day and age. At least there are some decent clients for open source platforms like matrix, mattermost, zulip etc. MS teams, MS Skype, MS anything is crap as always.

  • Replace Windows, Excel needed

  • Good to hear. winboat seems to both target and achieve a more polished setup and use.

    Even running office on wine is a good option if your target version has somewhat good wine compatibility.

  • There's also winapps you can use to run it in a native windows environment in some way (another machine tucked away somewhere, in a VM etc.) and have it acting like a native app over RDP and even have integrations with file manager like file associations.

    Instead of having a full desktop view in a remote desktop session, you'll get each window in a separate window that'll act like any other singular app. I used it when I had to use ms office and some other windows only app when I had a secondary PC that had to have windows anyway in a separate office in the same building.

    It's the first time I've ever heard of winboat and i feel like they are pretty much equivalent in what they do.

  • GUI library for C?

    Jump

  • I don't know how feasible for you to use an immediate mode GUI library but imgui came to my mind as soon as i read the post. However it's written in C++ instead of C.

    I never tried the C bindings but it seems to have a couple of options including cimgui to use imgui in a C project.

    Maybe it's worth a shot if you want something that's proven to be lightweight and battle tested (I mean the main imgui project for this).

  • Help changing text and images in POS software

  • I don't know if you missed my other reply but it's indeed in the exe but they are compressed. Uncompressed exe had the resources you need to change in the exe file.

  • Help changing text and images in POS software

  • I think I found the half of the answer.

    Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the trial version from their website. When I inspected it, turns out it's written in Delphi. What I'm guessing due to monolithic nature of the software (i.e. huge .exe file holding almost everything for the system) the already big (32.9 megabytes) .exe file is actually compressed. When uncompressed it's approximately 100 megabytes. When I checked the extracted binary(extraction due to execution, hence looking at the memory dump of a once ran executable) the resources now show the logo and the name your censored in a png resource file.

    There are several versions of it but I'm guessing one of them is used in that header, others may be used in about window etc.

    Unfortunately my quickly hacked up dump file doesn't run. So even if a modification is done, the resulting exe is not useful as it is.

    Detect-it-easy can't find the exact compressor for the exe sections. So I don't know if there's any available de-compressor for this .exe.

    At least my findings show why you can't see those resources in resource hacker. Because it's compressed and unreadable as it is from the .exe.

    It'll probably be possible to modify those resources once someone can create a runnable extracted version of the original .exe. I hope this helps. I'll post again if I have any other findings and/or solution.

  • Image file being explicitly converted into a specific resolution and bitmap makes me wonder if it's the logo for printed materials like receipts i.e. necessary format for black and white thermal printer.

  • Could I just create my own drive format?

    Jump

  • Yes you can but be careful to not turn into a murderer on the way.

  • Well that was the quickest random result I had while searching on mobile. Just to pave the way at least :)

  • That image seems to be on stock image sites like this one. So it's just an image. Didn't see any version that is converted to an actual theme.

  • Well, those windows reminded me of this old VLC skin.

    And no, not a bot. Just a random internet user.

  • Looks like the design of LCARS (Star trek).

    So you may like this theme or similar to this one.

  • For those who are curious about its history, this is where it all began for the visited links to be that color by default.

    Subject: NCSA Mosaic 0.13 released.

    • Changed default anchor representations: blue and single solid underline for unvisited, dark purple and single dashed underline for visited.

  • Good self-hosted webmail client?

    Jump

  • Other people already mentioned Roundcube and Snappymail, which are good options already.

    There's also Cypht if you want a different approach. It combines multiple accounts into same interface so you can have a unified inbox.

  • Open Source Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text on Android?

    Jump

  • I'm using one of the models here . It's working for voice instructions for navigation in Organic Maps. It's also showing in the text to speech menu in the android settings.

    The app it's based on (SherpaTTS) already exists on fdroid repos, but the APKs on that link has the model embedded already.

  • Well if you happen to find a good app that does what you want on desktop, then you can complement it on Android with Markor , it's "markdown native" and it has nice extra options like adding list elements, quick formatting etc. All based on markdown, can be easily switched between editor mode and preview(markdown rendered) mode.
