The Heavy - Put It On The Line[^]
Last weekend, I had a gaming weekend with some friends.
Three TV's and three Playstations and Borderlands 3 for the three of us!
The intro movie featured some cool music, just like Borderlands 2, again by The Heavy.
So that's a great intro of the game weekend and a cool outro of the work week by making it SOTW
I can really recommend the games as well, if you're into hilarious shooters with rather dark humor

Nice! Here's something back at you. I can't believe I didn't catch this greatness before this week! Banana-Na-Na. Never heard of Technohead before, and their 'I Wanna Be A Hippy' is also off the charts!

If you know anything about pinewood derby races...
I've got a laptop that is connected to a video projector. I have an adapter that converts the laptop's HDMI signal to the projector's VGA signal. The laptop is collecting data from the race track and displaying it on the laptop's monitor, which is then mirrored on the video projector. All that works fine.
What I also want to do is put a video camera (e.g., GoPro) in place to show the cars as they come across the finish line. How can I get the output of the video camera to the laptop (so that it can also be shown on the video projector)?
Thanks.

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) would likely fit nicely. It's aimed at streaming, but it supports (multiple)camera overlays over a main screen. I've used it and it worked well.

Didn't know about the pinewood derby races.
kinda cool.
Don't know about the technical stuff you're asking; sorry.
I'd rather be phishing!

In other words, your response is just as helpful as mine.

They don't have scouting where you are?

yes, but they thought I was not cool enough to join. (somewhere in the early 80s)

When I was a boy, scouting for girls was cool.
Scouting for boys was for the forest nerds.

Scouts were too much religious at that time and refuses all anti-christs non baptized kids.

I suppose via cable is not an option ?

The laptop's HDMI port is connected to the video projector, and the two USB ports are being used (one is connected to the race track, and the other is connected to the mouse/keyboard).

Have you tried connecting a USB hub to give you more connections?
Also, many cameras have a network port so you could just create a small network containing the camera and the laptop.
I connected to 68 cameras to a server this way. I then wrote software to enable multiple streams from any of them - they had been restricted to only two per camera but this method enabled more than that.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

USB Hub and USB cable to your GoPro is probably the best solution.

Just curios. For you ASP.net developers out there. If you were to start a new project, which would you use and why?

To answer your questions, "it depends", and "because".
Microsoft are pushing .NET Core as the future, and won't be making any further changes to the .NET Framework. It's not going away any time soon, but the features and performance will never improve, and any bugs which don't impact security will never be fixed.
You can get some C# 8 features to work in a .NET Framework project by manually editing the project file; others require additional NuGet packages; and some won't work at all. I think some of the new features are terrible - particularly the tangled mess that came out of "default interface methods" - but without upgrading to .NET Core, you probably won't be able to take advantage of any further improvements to the language.
But at the same time, we regularly need to display or export SSRS reports from our applications. I have yet to find a reliable way of doing that which would work in .NET Core.
We also occasionally have to interact with a third-party ERP system which uses a WCF interface with a custom closed-source message format. I have yet to see whether it's possible to make that work in Core.
I don't think we've yet reached the point where newer libraries are dropping support for .NET Framework. Microsoft tried it with EF Core 3.0, but changed their minds for 3.1, which caused a complete mess. Having said that, it's probably only a matter of time, especially with ".NET 5" allegedly slated for release later this year.

Sounds like it would be OK to use .Net Core for newbasic web apps. But anything legacy would probably require .Net Framework.

I totaloly agree here. What a terrible idea.
Thanks for your input

Yeah, why is 3.1 a long term support version if they are going to .Net 5 right away?
I haven't seen a new C# feature in a while that was much of an improvement and most of them obscure the readability of the code.
I find it funny that they are pushing WPF with no compelling reason. I tested and a WinForm app calls .Net Core 3.1 assemblies just fine.

Because they need a version for customers who're unable/unwilling to upgrade framework versions every few month (3.1 LTS) while they work on the next version for early adoptersunpaid beta testers (5.0).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
