Receipt Racer makes printing fun, wastes more paper than you ever thought possible (video)

Sure, you could use your printer to spit out spreadsheets, but how about hooking up a DualShock 3 to play it like a video game? That’s exactly what Joshua Noble and the undef duo did during a workshop related to OFFF last week, and the result is stunning (if not hilarious). The trio coded a game in openFrameworks, titled Receipt Racer, which uses a thermal receipt printer modded with a «light beamer» to display game info and represent a car, a DS3 to control it, and a laptop to connect the devices and run the software. A random track with obstacles gets rapidly printed while a player attempts to navigate it without crashing — sort of like Lane Splitter — or until the paper roll runs out after 164 feet. There’s a tree-loving web browser version and the full details of how it works in the source link below. We scored just over 1,400 1,752 points; let us know how you do in the comments.

 

Repair Windows XP/7 with virus without having to reformat: is it possible?

Over the years I have seen many colleagues have abandoned the idea of ??arranging a virus infected computer without having to reformat. They see it as quite a challenge, which I think is a little funky though in some particular cases there is nothing you can do, but the majority is possible to recover Windows has been infected.

Often the user (or client) does not want to format your computer for reasons we can not change, for example, have a management system that the installation is for a single license with a finite time.The truth is that in these cases, Windows can be recovered safely, using the steps below commented:

Remove all processes that start with Windows Uninstall unnecessary programs like antivirus, toolbars, etc.. Run programs like HijackThis, ComboFix and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Clean Windows Registry Argente Registry Cleaner To maintain the equipment using CCleaner Install a good antivirus and update daily to prevent
These steps I have applied hundreds of times and only in specific cases has failed me so I doubt that users do not favor Computer Blog this.

Before going into detail, I commented that I urge that all steps, as I am recommending anyone to ignore anything that could take effect. I have many years of experience, this is almost my conclusion that the equipment is in good condition.

Let us then, dear friends, with the explanation of each step.

Remove all processes that start with Windows

Although many do not seem right, you have to disable all processes that start with Windows, so that they do not interfere with the implementation of this procedure it really is what we expect and need to eliminate all processes that start with the system, because often there are viruses or malware slip inhabited in the PC.

And to do this, I recommend CCleaner, that in his area of ??tools, find an option called ‘Home’, where we can eliminate all processes that start with Windows.

Once you apply this simple step, restart the computer.

Uninstall unnecessary programs like antivirus, toolbars, etc..

Same CCleaner, once we have applied the previous step, open itand right then proceed to eliminate the programs that we do not need, such as:

Antivirus: Yes, even illogical, I do not really need to do what this guide will explain, we need to completely uninstall it does notinterfere with anything, and let the tools work we are going tohappen next Toolbars: Many software installed bars tools that make all computers slow, that’s why I recommend you uninstall them all without exception
Obviously, once we have removed this series of unnecessarythings, let the computer restart again to proceed to implement the third step is that in particular consider most important, because with it, remove virus, and things that affect them.

Run programs like HijackThis, ComboFix and Malwarebytes Anti-malware

Those three I named are my best friends. Although many users will not be at all reliable, no problem, because in my experience I have found that the three, we will make our team work ‘all-out’. Then explain what each program is free, as well as, I will indicate where you can download:

HijackThis: It is a tool that looks for changes in the system caused by viruses and malware, once you perform the analysis, I recommend that accents everything and fix it. With full responsibility I commented that in no way affect the performance of the team as the system really clean. Compatible with most Windows (7, Vista, XP, etc.)., Free, in English, low ComboFix from here: This is a super complete program that cleans your system of all types of malware, virus, spyware , rootkits, etc.., automatically running its series of automated commands, is the best there is, and always work, because I’ve tried many times and has never failed me, the user will get the following link to Windows XP, Vista, XP, etc.. It is free of viruses and any other matter affecting Windows, 100% reliable, it’s totally free Malwarebytes Anti-malware: The perfect we must spend to give it a virus cleaning our team; detects malware, viruses and all that relates, in Spanish (and English, etc.). is compatible with Vista, 7, XP, etc.. and you can download for free from their own official website
It is worth noting that I recommend that run in that order. Only if asked to restart the computer, reinícienla, but rest do not. Once you have passed, can reboot the PC, only when you have completed the analysis / cleaning of the three programs. Later, when the system boots, it will be virtually free of virus and you must apply the step is presented below, which is almost the last.

Clean Windows Registry Argente Registry Cleaner

Unquestionably, which has been applied so far we have achieved a high way and we have almost solved the problems. But you can not pass him a thorough cleaning the Windows registry. First I said, the system registry is a database where information is saved the changes made in our PC in the form of keys (or «words»), with astructure that I consider quite susceptible.

It is for this reason, it is very important to clean the registry ofinvalid entries, so that the operation of the equipment is the best.And for this, I strongly recommend, using an application calledArgente Registry Cleaner that I saved a couple of occasions.

Is a free program in Spanish that this will go a long way. And on their official website can be downloaded for free.Do not forget thisstep is very important!

Do maintenance to your computer using CCleaner

Well, once you have cleaned the Windows registry, fixing the entries are invalid, we will now proceed to do a maintenance to Windows with CCleaner.

CCleaner has long been the favorite and most recommendedprogram in this case because to clean up unnecessary files on the operating system. And so I advise you to spend, so that way the program deletes temporary files, so that its performance leavesone feeling almost immediately.

As always, tell them that you can download from their official website.

Install a good antivirus and update it daily to prevent

And to top this article, I recommend installing a good antivirusupdate to date. In my case, I use Avira AntiVir, which I consider as the best. In this post I discussed the benefits of this program and itssalient features.
