Then, either nGlide or dgVoodoo2 to patch the 3dfx/OpenGL driver to use Direct3D 11, along with adding a bunch of features like more AA, filtering

First time I've heard that suggestion. Are those features available in the updated OpenGL and XOpenGL drivers are included in the latest UT99 patch? (v469d) Alternatively, there's an enhanced OpenGL renderer (utglr37.zip) - https://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr... And also this Direct3D 11 renderer - https://www.moddb.com/mods/unr... And lastly a separate Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and Direct3D 11 renderer - https://github.com/dpjudas/UT9...

Comment Where are the DTV smartphones? (Score 1) 250

Since this is somewhat related, when broadcast made the conversion from analog to digital, I recall hearing how DTV would be coming to smartphones (Japan has had it for over 10 years!). Yet in the past few years since the conversion, I've heard nothing of DTV antennas being added to smartphones. Why did this get buried by the phone/media industry? I for one, consume all media online (I have neither cable/sat/OTA DTV, only degrading analog cable TV hooked up to an old SDTV, which I never use). If my phone received DTV signals, I'd use the feature all the time.

Comment Prepaid data + Google Voice (Score 1) 171

I'm looking for a decent prepaid data option to just go wifi + prepaid + google voice and drop regular voice/data plans for good. Eying t-mobile's $1.49 unlimited data 24-hour day pass. I'm so rarely in a non-wifi environment (subway commute) it hardly makes sense to pay for a standard voice/data plan.

Comment Re:It DOES support multi-RAR!! (Score 1) 419

I was just about to suggest using VLCRAAR for RAR playback (which I've been using for years), but I just noticed that VLCRAAR is broken in 1.0 (works fine in 0.9.9). HOWEVER, I then tried loading a RAR archive straight up and it played the video fine! It even allows for fast-forwarding across multi-RAR archives! I'm not sure why they didn't advertise this in the 1.0 launch, but this is great! (note - doesn't appear to work with HD content, only divx/xvid worked. For HD content RAR archives, I recommend BS Player Pro + Haali media splitter + ffdshow)
