Old Wacom + Old and New Graphical Software + New (Old) PC

Datatalk + Windows

(Mostly notes for myself.)

I'm using an old Wacom with some old and new software. These are notes on how to set up and run things.

Wacom Cable Protector for Cintiq 21UX (DTZ-2100D)

3D Print + DIY

One of those things where there is no good solution, except ordering a new cable... because Wacom decided to permanently attach a multi-cable to the monitor, and (poorly) shrink-sleeved / molded a cable splitter.

Installing OBS, Virtual Webcam, RSTP, Chromecast and Whatnot, in 2026...

OBS + Windows

I'm writing this new OBS install post, as newer releases use different options, and things were getting a little confusing. Unfortunately, not everything works as it did in the past. That might be me, or other stuff may have changed...

Plate Lab - Cool & Cold Plates

3D Printing + Plate Lab

Not all cold plates are created equal. And many are simply not cold plates at all.

Here's a comparison between several (cheap) cold plates. Note: if you want me to test another plate, drop me a line, and send me that plate 😊

WD Colors for Regular Spinners, and Bloody SMR drives

Datatalk

I'm not a data hoarder (well, a bit, perhaps) but I like to keep stuff locally, so I have a few larger drives, and you know what? They're hard to find, and sometimes bloody slow.

There's no absolute fix, but at least I can remind myself not to buy those f* SMR drives!

Remember HWInfo64's WIndow Positions

Windows

HWInfo64 is a nice program, but it has two disadvantages:

1. It needs to run with Admin rights

2. It sometimes forgets the location of its (child) windows

That second one is a bummer, so here's a desktop link that make it a little easier to restore them.

What am I going to print this year?

What am I going to print this year?

I have no clue yet. But I reserved a post / page for all my crap 😁
