@NanoRaptor Is the top angled as well? i.e. can't put a monitor on top.

@leo That *is not* OCD...that's AWESOME! Every time I need a button battery I have better chances of winning the lottery than finding one in the fridge. (Yeah, we keep in ours in the fridge...never even checked the validity of that. Just did as my parents did. 🤔 )

@tilvids Went to sign up with the server and am told "Video uploads are disabled on this instance". Does this mean new signups are disabled or new signups just can't generate content? TIA.

@tilvids Ok, thank you. Unfortunately, I've not made squat yet. I've been toying with the idea but hesitation always wins out. When I start, how do I provide you a sample to "take a look"?

@codewiz For Covid tests, I'm presuming you already did the USPS option? Also, my library is handing them out for free, maybe yours too? Finally, my health provider has been providing free tests to members (4/mn). Just some ideas if you didn't already exhaust.

@codewiz Not sure all libraries do, but may be worth checking into.

@codewiz Compiling now. I fear the CPU usage is still going to be huge as compared to 3.3. They blamed GTK for it, but I have 3.3 with the newer GTK libs from Deb11 and the CPU usage *isn't* higher. We shall see...

@codewiz Ok, I'm going to need to do some more experimentation. Below is v3.3 x64 at 6.6% CPU, v3.7 x64sc at 56% CPU, and v3.7 x64 at 6% CPU. I didn't check my settings, but there may be hope!

@codewiz Even more peculiar then based on the mailing list response I saw years ago. Thanks for the hint to pprof though...

@codewiz I done messed up. My fingers 'cd'd into my 3.3 directory out of muscle memory. I just ran x64sc and x64 for v3.7 and the CPU is off the charts. It does go to show though how 3.3 is just much less stressful on the CPU.As for pprof, I don't have the means to run it, but if you got 51% on an optimized build, I still don't see it matching v3.3 levels on my machine. Whatever the actual cause, that's too much CPU usage for me to switch at this point.(For ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/1017/)

@codewiz Hmmm. Check the CPU usage under XFCE's Task Manager, and it's giving me 14-18% depending on PAL or NTSC, but my CPU graph taskbar widget shows much more 14% activity when the emulators running.I'll play more later too. Have a good night and sorry for the bombardment of toots on the matter.

@phoenix I, too, hate that. Maybe in your car's settings? My car, via the console media thing, where you tune the radio and stuff, it has car settings and in there is where I can enable/disable that "feature".

@thenewoil This sounds like a move right out of Putin's recent playbook...making it more difficult for people to *not* become military.
