Question: Why hasn't anyone created a universal platform with not a lot of dependencies (like Java) for video games? Something that would allow you to run video games on any of the major operating systems. I'm not a programmer and there must be a reason, but I don't know what that would be.
Unity. And many others. It's a common thing, actually.
Unity can be coded for all OSes?
That's why the name is Unity, it's a universal high end gaming platform.
what is it exactly? is it like Java, just installs on top of any OS?

You can't stick any engine in any car - so how does this help?

Problem is, there is a shit load of components for which I need to write some code for. I'm concentrating on the communication part right now. Next will be a load of drivers for sensors and actors. Not too hard, but needs to be done. Last but not least, we want to have some central PC (an old notebook in this case) to act as a central monitoring and control interface.
But yes, as promised before, I'll post pictures when there is something worth showing.

So on my ROG the Function F9 combo wasn't working, and the trackpad was on. Which drove me insane.
Just fixed that by reinstalling the hardware drivers.
So much better now.

Cortana was probably providing the directions!

From looking at the route, I would have guessed they were using Apple maps...

Talked to someone going to Capella. Turns out it's a for profit trade school, just like ITT. I had an inkling but had not looked into them before. Totally garbage, scam program. You even get to "Minor in Microsoft."
How do people not notice these things before spending tens of thousands of dollars?

@scottalanmiller How do people pay for Trump University?
Same concept, they aren't thinking things through, expect that if they go to a specific program that they'll end up millionaires.

Kind of get what they deserve.

I know PEBCAK and iD10T, but not PICNIC...
