Blinking wifi icon and black screen on Surface 2
- 21 August 2018
This is the second time I run into this problem after a Windows Update. First time was halfway through last year’s Microsoft MVP Summit and I had to Remote Desktop to my home machine with a spare android tablet and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse to get access to Windows apps.
Good that the summit wifi was amazing but a Surface 2 with touch cover was way easier to carry around than the combination of tablet/keyboard/mouse. I got around the problem by manually uninstalling KB3033055 with dism remove package in recovery console command prompt and hide the update afterwards. But recently I got the black screen with blinking wifi icon, again after installing a bunch of Windows Updates.
如何在64位win10的VS2017环境下搭建汇编环境
- 18 June 2018
用户AcmeContracted安装masm32失败，所以想知道是否能集成masm64到Visual Studio 2017中。
VS里面masm不是单独的，是C++工具集的一部分，而在VS2017里C++工具集不是默认安装的，所以要先安装C++工具集。
Can we run 32 bit and 64 bit code in the same process?

User redstone001 wants to know if it is possible to run 32 bit and 64 bit code in the same process – maybe in a different thread?
As Betteridge’s law of headlines say, any news ending with a question mark can be answered with the word no. But this isn’t news, so … the answer is … yeah? Kind of.
Farewell, dsoframer
- 11 March 2018
I know, it is long overdue. Microsoft discontinued it a decade ago. And Office is not meant to be embedded. I even advised people to not use it in new development almost a decade ago. Then why I keep using it for so long?
Because customers don’t want changes. I work in the medical field, where some of the clients still use telnet to interface with their medical software that are probably older than I am. Once you get people hooked to a UI it is hard to change that. The fact that Microsoft discontinues dsoframer means nothing to them – once I use it, I own it. It is like Microsoft having to release an Office update for the old equation editor made by MathType 16 years ago. So I have been doing patchwork as much as I can to keep dsoframer alive.
