Same link, select Ohook option
You can also use Office.com if your needs are very minimal
or try OnlyOffice/LibreOffice and set it to save in MSOffice file formats

I'm having a hell of a time installing drivers for some antique controller cards for some industrial machines on some antique computers. One one machine the drivers don't automatically install (and if manually installed the application acts as if they didn't) , on the other, drivers install but the application acts as if they didn't.
I know you won't have a complete solution, but I'm just trying to narrow down what could be going wrong. We can't wait months for them to build us a new controller.
Could the Windows XP service pack and specific collection of updates be affecting something like that?
Could installing the wrong motherboard (or chipset) drivers cause either error? I'm really confident that I haven't done this because I can still get them off the manufacturer's website (they're freaking dells), but management has jumped to this conclusion and won't be talked out of it, insisting on trying to buy two new (old) XP computers as if we're just going to magically get the "insert cd, run installer, and it'll jest werks" experience we deserve instead of continuing to struggle.

I kept getting ones that didn't have unique dot counts. I'd get 3 pairs, or 2 pairs and a triplet with the occasional pair and triplet mixed in. I thought it had to do with the positioning because the only time I was getting stuff "correct" was when I was finding ones that didn't have a dot in the same spot, but then that stopped working after I got 7 in a row, so I guess I just got lucky.

>>107589802
I'm still getting ones that don't have unique dot counts occasionally. I'd probably still be lost if I didn't check in on this thread. Still have to reroll because of the dots, but at least I know it's just fucked and there isn't some secret pattern with the average color of the background the dots are touching or something equally asinine.

the annoying thing is that it says "find the image not like the others" and instead of having 4 identical ones with 1 odd one out they have 2 identical pairs with 1 unique one. so you have to scroll through all of them instead of immediately identifying the weird one after looking through 3

I had an idea for an electronic lock which uses metal key cards that have a card sized label/mask, specifically with hole patterns punched out, and the cards come in complementary pairs: a Key card and a Program card.

The idea here is the cards close circuits to gate pins on transistors in a signal line. Each card has a (say) 5x5 block where holes exist in the label/mask to permit electric contact. Each pair of cards are the XOR of each other (except center which is the common +V to the card). If even one wrong contact is active, the corresponding Program card side gate pin will be brought low and break the signal transistor chain. Any missing contact and no complete chain.

Should almost be home brewable!

Using NFC would be more safer than having a pattern printed in the key card.
>>
>>107598021
>The card slots will have a square grid array of touch contacts like bank card terminals.
I was to understand, unlike the chip on the bank card, your card is just a single conductor... The array in your setup is just about keeping power from pins?
In which case that mask - and damage to, over time - will become a factor. Especially with home-printed materials.

> Diagram is for 2x2, real thing would be 5x5.
Explains why there's not enough for a 5x5 grid.
>>
>>107598141
You will see the rub damage accumulate. You can print a new mask on label paper from Kinkos, punch out the holes, cut the label, then apply new label to card. Point is to delete Mr. Shekelsberg-Manufacturergee and his proprietary wares from the keying equation.

>delete Mr. Shekelsberg-Manufacturergee and his proprietary wares from the keying equation.
You'd be 'better' avoiding electronics altogether here.
But my point in mentioning the damages was for the times when you're already out of the house when this occurs. Assuming this is door entry to building.
If this can lock you outta house, really wise to consider failure modes.

>>107598164
"universal machine"?
depending on what you mean by 'firmware' that might be a solvable problem. As for the radio, that's easily buildable... It's just cheaper, smaller and easier to buy.
But I wouldn't advise NFC. Can have people picking that lock from ½ way down the street...

in fact the bug bounty programs are incredibly cheap you get the best of best hacking your stuff and submitting fixes for few thousands which for big companies might as well be pennies
like remember they're paying h1b jeets hundreds of thousands per year to pretend to be working or vibecode some retarded broken shit because the big companies have been turned into h1b scam pipelines where jeet HRs recruit their own from india and get kickbacks from the salary, they're looting the companies for millions and millions in salaries

meanwhile some actually mega skilled coder from eastern europ doesnt get paid any salary but only for results and he gets paid few thousand per some critical bug and does more for the company than 10 salaried jeets do for fraction the price
>>
>>107595503
well no shit dumbass. GPL is based on the correct principle that NOT distributing the source along with the binary requires either social or technical hacks or both that do not need to be tolerated. GPL assumes no distinction between source and binary except possible user convenience and distribution pattern. there is no technical difference, they are both "the software" so they by all reason should both be distributed to anyone the software is available to.

NOTHING in GPL prevents you from closed betas, only collabing with a small group, only releasing to a small group of users. and says nothing about keeping secrets. you can keep all the secrets you want. but to whomever you give the software out, DO NOT use slimy tricks against them to restrict their access to only a side-effect of your code (compiled binary). you are doing them a disservice.

clown option: Network with nearby phones to share cameras and composite the image together from them similar to how telescope arrays work.

Shitposts aside, I'm honestly somewhat surprised that they don't put sensors on two bands further apart. I suppose it's only a matter of time until a phone shaped like a dog bone becomes a thing. It's the only "real" way to cheat the physics.

Start by splitting the input into "trivial yes", "trivial no", and "difficult". You can do that with not much code. Try using that dumb code with the actual input data. Know that the "difficult" case is very difficult; finding ways to avoid doing the hard part may be advantageous.
