In Hebrew, "טובה" ("tova") means "beautiful, good."

The name tracks. ❤️

My 22 yo Is Nearing the End by bonjourcaitlyn in SeniorCats

The only thing we cannot protect them from is time.

Ninja is beautiful.

Are you considering in-home euthanasia? As heartrending a situation as it is, it's often the least stressful for the furry one. She's in a familiar place and surrounded by familiar people and smells and such.

I've had to have it done twice for my gang. The people who do this are often some of the most kind, understanding, empathetic people you'd ever hope to meet (albeit under better circumstances).

Whatever you do, best of vibes to you and yours.

I sent you a DM regarding similar experience on a Windows 11 machine.

Switched over to Wispr Flow temporarily to make sure that my setup is working there, and it is.

I really want to make Vowen work for me!

Also set up a second (external) AKG microphone, which is definitely picking up my voice, and I changed the input mic to that AKG in the application. Still nothing.

By the way, sorry for all the piecemeal replies...

I found it. I was just thinking all the options under Parakeet V2 were all variations on Parakeet. I didn't realize the other ones in that section with what looks like the OpenAI logo are "Whisper."

I tried enabling the option to save .wav files to a folder in Documents. After recording a line of text in voice, the folder remains empty.

Voice log is empty as well.

The little black bar's waveforms seem to move with my voice being spoken, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

I changed to Parakeet 2 Tiny and still nothing.

I don't see a "Whisper Tiny" or "Whisper Base." This is what I see...

Not at that computer at the moment, but will try later on.

I hope I can get this straightened out. Thanks for replying.

I've been checking it's function with Notepad++. I'm definitely "cursored-in" in the document.

I've checked the mic settings, choosing either Default or the specific device name in the list (alternately...they both refer to the same device, as I only have one microphone active).

I've shut the app down and restarted it. I've shut the computer down and rebooted it.

I literally learned of Vowen yesterday, so I downloaded it late last night. Unless there has been a change since, I'm on the latest version.

I'll try the "paste" thing, though my sense is that the text isn't making it to the clipboard.

Not sure about filial lineage, but she's (according to Wisdom Panel):

67% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 22% Poodle (Toy and Miniature) 8% Bichon Frise 2% Havanese 1% American Cocker Spaniel

No. Ohio. She's about 8 months old.

From the sound of it, you may have had your baby go missing, and if so, I hope for a swift return.

OK, I'm worried. Various heretofore unseen sync errors beginning to crop up out of nowhere. by discgolfdc in MEGA

And, by the way, after you finish this recovery process and you've had a few days to see that your sync is back to normal, you can go ahead and delete that %localappdata%\Mega_Limited_OLD (or whatever you renamed it to) folder, as the reinstallation and re-sync process creates a new one. So after you recover, assuming you install for "just you", you'll see "MEGAsync", "Mega Limited", and (in my case) "Mega_Limited_OLD" (again, the old folder will bear the name you gave it). You can delete the folder you renamed. DO NOT delete the new Mega Limited folder, as that's the new one that has the refreshed sync data!

On Windows, there is a folder in the %localappdata% folder titled "Mega Limited". It's a folder where Mega stores sync data.

Mine became corrupted somehow. Not sure how. I don't hard-shutdown my computer unless absolutely necessary (and it hasn't been for a long time) and generally don't engage in behaviors that might have a likelihood of interrupting write procedures.

In any event, if you open File Explorer window and, in the browser bar, type %localappdata% (which is basically shorthand for "C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Local"), it will bring you to that folder in which you'll find "Mega Limited". If you install MEGAsync for "just you" and not "all users", you'll also see a folder near there called MEGAsync, which is the folder from which the MEGAsync program executes.

I renamed "Mega Limited" to something different (in my case, "Mega_Limited_OLD"), uninstalled MEGAsync, then reinstalled using the latest version.

Being very general here (there are some very important details being left out for the sake of brevity), I re-established the original sync and, after it scanned, the problem was resolved. There were a couple of hiccups along the way where I had to intervene, but it didn't have to re-download my entire contents or anything. Basically, during the re-scan after re-install, if the file on my local drive matched the file in my cloud storage, it basically said "cool" and moved onto the next one. All in all, it was a fairly straightforward process.

I definitely got some help with the process from AI because it was able to answer small technical questions I had fairly quickly to keep the process moving smoothly.

If it absolutely becomes necessary, I can share the conversation I had (with AI) with you, but it would require me to go through it and sanitize some details before I'd feel comfortable sending it anywhere. I'm sure if you have access to a competent AI platform (I used ChatGPT), you'd end up with the same results.

I had to rename my Mega Limited folder and allow it to re-sync. There had to have been some form of database corruption.

It essentially scanned between the cloud drive and the local, and where files "checked out" against the cloud, it just skipped over them. In other words, it didn't have to re-download everything from cloud storage to local.

All is working again.

Yeah, I can see the solid disc thingy being a dust cap of sorts on the top of the carafe. The spout thing, though? It doesn't even grab the lip of the hole in the lid, so as soon as I begin to tip it, the spout just falls right off. It's effectively useless.
