Digital Signage & Windows Engineering Converting Xibo Windows Player from 32-bit to 64-bit How I took the official x86 Xibo installer, analysed every binary layer, rebuilt the file set with genuine x64 NuGet packages, authored a fresh WiX MSI, and shipped a production-ready 64-bit installer — so the player can finally use the full RAM of the machine it runs on.

Software Build Log & Development Update Building the Trofeo Vision App Thermalright Should Have Shipped Part 2 of my Trofeo Vision project: probing how the USB display works, replacing TRCC with a custom Windows control app, and turning a clever little screen into a proper live PC dashboard.
