interesting, I built a library and am trying to put together some kind of minimal header but it's slow going

works as advertised 😁👍

it's my experience that for certain code, the Intel compiler produces exes that are significantly faster than that of MSVC, so I wouldn't discount Intel just yet.

I want a secure(no backdoor) KVM switch, any advice?
with recent reports of a backdoor on popular patient monitors made in China I don't trust anything made in China and I don't want to spend more than $100

hello MrBcx and Mr. airr 
have downloaded and tried VMware yet?
in case that you haven't, there's a download link bottom of page at https://www.neowin.net/software/vmware-workstation-pro-1763/

thank you airr, been looking forward to this, was afraid you had forgotten about it 😁

thanks airr 👍

@Quin
your GitHub link has a typo in it, it should be https://github.com/trypsynth/uphide

thanks Vortex 
works great!

I tried to rename 1000+ lib files from *.dll.a to *.a without success, I tried the obvious: ren *.dll.a *.a and in bash mv *.dll.a *.a without luck, windows CLI simply does nothing while bash complains that the last file in the list isn't a file or directory and errors out
I wound up using basic to create a batch file  to do the job, renaming each file individually e.g. ren foo.dll.a foo.a
is there a way to do it like ren *.dll.a *.a ?

I tried a local installation of DeepSeek, from the PowerShell
ollama run deepseek-r1
after some time the >>> prompt appeared waiting for user input, after asking a couple of questions I wanted to quit the session so I said: bye
it then printed it's response in what looked like Chinese, I have not been able to replicate this behaviour

on my system the helpfile was blocked, but I very rarely invoke the helpfile via F1
