Question: If you had an ARM microcontroller with MIDI and audio capabilities, SD card and screen (and free time), what's the coolest thing you could make? Asked by Colin (1.136.110.x) on January 30 2020, 10:15pm Reply on February 3 2020, 4:07am: hmm something that could administer electric shocks to me when I played out of time or out of key 1 Comment... Question: I noticed, that you don't escape " and ' in strings in projectfiles/statechunks and I wonder, how do you copy with parsing layoutnames like "I know, I "should" do this, but will not!" How do you know, which " is part of the string and which not? Asked by Mespotine (195.37.187.x) on January 30 2020, 4:36pm Reply on January 30 2020, 7:09pm: In that case we'd use `... but if you needed that in a string, you'd be screwed! Then we go lossy (or use a textblock or base64 encoding if needed).

Question: Are there any circumstances under the hood, that GetSetMediaTrackInfo with I_WNDH parameter may return NULL or it always valid no matter what?

Question: Any workflow or project organization tips for utilizing a 16-core Ryzen to it's full potential and avoiding high RT-CPU bottleknecks? (sends, folder track FX etc.) Reaper becomes really sluggish and gltichy at only ~30% CPU utilization :( Asked by Ryan (154.5.28.x) on January 25 2020, 10:15am Reply on January 29 2020, 2:36pm: Not really but I guess avoid PDC on the master track would be a good start... 1 Comment...

Question: Reaper's fast growing feature set is attracting more and more professional users, and I expect the user base will keep growing quickly as you continue to improve it. Is there a concern that the growing user base will far outgrow the service that a tiny company like Cockos can provide? You've mentioned you don't want to expand because you're not good at managing people, but surely you only need to hire one trustworthy person who IS good at managing people, and let them deal with the rest? Asked by Joe90 (82.27.227.x) on January 24 2020, 12:57am Reply on January 24 2020, 3:38am: When we need to expand in order to adequately support the user base, we will! Comment...

Question: Is Windows 10 secretly free? I recently downloaded free & original ISO file from Microsoft website. And there is no 'activation' watermark in my newly installed Windows 10. Also it is shown as 'Windows is activated' in settings, even though I didn't activate it or purchased any key for it.

(I have Win 10 Home edition, btw) (Don't know if Pro is free like Home) Asked by Bill Windows (59.99.116.x) on January 18 2020, 5:12pm Reply on January 19 2020, 2:57am (edited at January 19 2020, 2:58am): The license key might be in your EFI or BIOS or ACPI table or whatever, these days.
