How is my preowned desktop doing

-
Well its about a month and half since I got the desktop. Since I have put a bunch of AI models on the desktop in both windows and Linux. On windows I am mostly gaming. On Linux I'm doing mostly college-projects and I'm also doing AI things. But one thing I have found out is local AI models are just not up to the mark. And with 4-5 free providers we have enough free AI that we are not limited to local AI. Another problem is I could not get the VS code Continue extension to really do great. It was kind of average and it was not really smart.
So we are not really doing vibe coding. Looks like vibe coding is an expensive hobby. Anyway I do plan to put in some efforts to run some visual models and learn more in coming months. Right now though I'm in survival mode. So I have put everything on hold for next six months.
So was it a good value? Very much so. Blowing 50-60k on PS5 would not have given me this much value. Also I could spend another 50K and upgrade this to a serious system with much less efforts. And that works for me. Cheers!

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

[Qt] Compiling ICU with MSVC (Microsoft Visual Studio)

-
Link to original article: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Compiling-ICU-with-MSVC Text highlighted and notes added Compiling ICU with MSVC (Microsoft Visual Studio)     Qt 5 / QtWebkit requires ICU.         Pre-built packages     The ICU Project site [ site.icu-project.org ] provides pre-built packages for MSVC 2010, which should work with compilers too. Anyhow, you have to compile your own version if you want to avoid the MSVC 2010 runtime dependency (because you’re using another MSVC version), or want to tailor the ICU configuration.     download.qt-project.org [ download.qt-project.org ] also hosts packages for MSVC 2012 .
