SIV - System Information Viewer VS Qalculate!

I started conversing with the author of SIV on the Corsair forum many years ago. We still chat on occasion, usually when he adds a new feature he wants to test on various systems. When I got into Aquacomputer devices, I helped him add support for them. The code is way over my head but I can try the beta versions and report what works and what doesn't until he nails it. If you are interested, you can find SIV at... Source: 11 months ago

I got fed up with Corsair back in the Link days and have been using a program called SIV to control my Corsair PWM and RGB controllers for years. SIV (not Gigabyte's SIV) is a system monitoring program similar to HWINFO but more expansive. The author of SIV got fed up with Corsair's buggy software so he reverse-engineered their protocols and added support for many Corsair products to SIV. SIV is extremely... Source: 12 months ago

Icue doesn't "block" other applications. It just shoots out polling requests like a drunk soldier with a machine gun, with no regard for other polling requests. The annoying part of this is that the author of SIV was helping Corsair improve their code and showed them how to properly implement the polling mutex, which they did in the later versions of Corsair Link. When they rolled out Icue, they decided that the... Source: about 1 year ago

I am not sure why it says `0x0000`, which implies that the ROM is not being read at all. This is the case regardless whether I pass in a ROM file or not. It might be worth noting that I had a lot of trouble extracting the ROM and managed to do this on a native Windows 11 install using System Information Viewer. Source: about 1 year ago

1) a scientific calculator with history and variables with a UI similar to https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt1-calculator/ that also can do units like https://qalculate.github.io/ 2) a tiny text chat direct message program that is similarly as easily accessible at Atl1 3) a minimalist dock of as many instances you would like similar to https://punklabs.com/rocketdock, and like where WIN opens the start menu, WIN...

Qalculate is my go-to for cross platform calculator that is useful and is not limited to the most basic +-*/ operations. https://qalculate.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

If you want a self-hosted replacement for Keisan I strongly suggest looking at Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I personally use Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/), specifically their CLI version for this purpose. I'm not sure how well it compares to GNU Units, but it works well enough for my needs; and it's fairly simple using English-like syntax. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things. Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
