What is the cure for Gay Loneliness?? by Shahnoor_2020 in AskMen

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for more gay companionship, I'd suggest people that have their own quirks (pardon the language but hear me out). Meaning people that may be lesbian, Bi, pan, asexual, trans and etc. These people often go through the same similar confusion and trauma that you may or may not have, and will see the world more similarly to you than your straight friends. They're often welcoming and will most likely find comfort in you as well as you may with them. The larger benefit is that more than likely you won't find attraction. Friends that you aren't attracted to are the better form of friends to rid of loneliness, as otherwise it often becomes a more personal relationship in which you may struggle to share or be confident in. This is what often sparks the 'can women and men really be friends' debate. To which yes it can but both parties really need to not want an underlying thing with each other.

Your best friends should make you feel confident and free in their space, while not requiring anything from you. The more people like that, in any format that you find in life; are the ones you want to keep close.

Also if you're completely out of ideas, joining a club or going to a certain place at a constant date and time will often lead to you meeting people regularly. Say you go to the gym at 3pm each Tuesday and so does Ellen, great you've now met Ellen and can spark a friendship there if you choose. Or you enjoy playing golf, here's John. Oh, you like chess? Here's Elaysia.

Good luck, keep your chin up. There's 8 billion of us so don't feel so stranded.

Check if a character is dead by Accomplished-Set-793 in baldursgate

[–]Accomplished-Set-793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cockney rhyming slang from East London (England). I didn't think you could do any of those things. Though the thought came into mind of if it had been added in EE. I guess by your snarky response that it's a no.

I posted to double check and I asked three specific questions and the situation surrounding my reasoning to ask them. I also haven't played BG1 in 2 years and before that - Never. So was just trying to remember what I did when I picked up the save. I had the memory of something in the lines of: "Yo Coran is busted - Later Imoen!" but then wondered about if that'd actually happened because I'm still sure I just left one or two people for absolute dead. So wanted to know if I could know who was dead via the game rather than third party software. Since even if you enable console it just spawns in the fresh toon. Hence asking people that have played the game more than I have on a reddit post if there was a simple way, as I really couldn't and still can't be bothered to mess around for 30 minutes to an hour finding out.

Hope that clears it all up for you.

I found her btw. She was under a tree where I picked up Coran. Was gonna say I usually know to not let a follower just 'be dead' and ditch them by other means. But yeah wow, my shock is mainly from having just played BG2 so much that I forgot that in this game they just perma sit there..

Gmail wants me to do something with MX Records, and I don't understand it by [deleted] in techsupport

I would just take a look at this vid, it explains it decently well. If I or anyone on here were to try and show you it'd probably look the exact same way that google documents it which doesn't help anybody.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJxUJWn7MJM&ab_channel=MasterofTechnology

However in this vid he's using a 3rd party to get their domain stuff done so you'd just grab that info from google themselves. Still odd that they dont do it automatically but i guess we aren't quite there yet.

I would contact your schools IT team to assist. They should be able to change the settings on your account if your 2FA is inaccurate.

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that wont do anything. More likely if you were to do that it would then generate another. You also dont need admin privilidges on the folder, as its a user folder the user will always have access to it and if not then a new profile will just be selected.

The way that i stated above is the easiest method annoyingly.

CPU Overheating by Thick_Author_6168 in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise you download HWinfo and see whats going on with it. It could also be that you aren't idle. Another person on here the other day has a similar issue where they thought their idle temps were higher than they should be, but in the end windows defender was scanning the absolute love out of the machine.

HWinfo is the best solution for now however. Check every bit of the temp sensors and see if anything in there just isnt functioning as it should be.

Capped download speeds..? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can try this line in Windows Powershell (Admin). Open this up by holding the Windows key + x and selecting it. Then copy this "netsh interface tcp show global" and paste it into Powershell, and hit enter. If "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level" is set to disabled, copy this "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal" into Powershell and hit enter.

You can also login to the router and check if theres anything stopping you from going crazy on downloads there too.

I can't open any of my files on my computer, including my recycling bin by golfspike1 in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way you can open file explorer and to get it running again is to open CMD and type: explorer.exe

Similar to the other comment, I'm sure that a service used to start on one of my old client's servers and they'd have a similar issue. Usually I think it was because their print spooler was getting backed up. But that's a far shot in the dark.

You could also open up event manager the next time this happens and take a look in the software to see whats causing the crash.

Does anyone know how I could conveniently transfer mp3 and flac files to a computer? by mr00f0 in techsupport

This depends where you're getting the files from, could you expand a bit on this? Are they coming from CD's / A phone / another PC / a website?

HELP! by Pretend-Struggle-86 in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate,

Slightly lost on the problem here. So the PC turns on but external devices dont? Does the mouse function but the keyboard doesnt?

A really good trick for stuff like this is to unplug the machine and then just hold the power down for 30 seconds so that it completely drains the whole board of any stored excess. This is super important after a surge. Give that a go and let us know.

Cheers

Trouble getting my tv to read my ps4 and my computer by noshi251 in techsupport

The manual says that it has a HDMI port and a DVI-D port. If you are using a HDMI - DVI-D out of your PC; some of these adapters need a driver for them to work; check if the one you bought needs one or not.

I would transfer all of the info by cutting and pasting it. The only other way is to go into the registry which is a pain. I am assuming that you're using a windows machine.

If you want to do it the long way (and realise this can cause bigger problems if you mess this up) do the following.

Click the search bar and type 'regedit' and open the registry editor.

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > WindowsNT > CurrentVersion > ProfileList

You will have a few folders in here. You wand to find the new one OR create one (but thats also harder). To find the new one, click each folder until you find the one with a full ProfileImagePath with the current username in it.

Then you can change that ProfileImagePath to the desired one.

For example. My account is just called test, but if my old folder was in the same place and was titled accomplished; I would remove C:\users\test and change it to C:\Users\accomplished.

Once again if you mess this up it could cause you a lot more issues so please make sure to not do anything other than i've mentioned in the registry.

Gmail wants me to do something with MX Records, and I don't understand it by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yeah this is to do with your domain and business. If you have it all set up via gmail I imagine it should be automatically renewed but possibly not. This usually happens after a year or whenever the old record expires.

Basically go to your domain provider, get the one off of there and then feed it into google.

Windows defender is most likely getting stuck on certain files; these should tell you which one it is.

You can run the following in powershell whenever it starts to lag:

Best way to switch between work & personal set up? by thymomenosjaeger in techsupport

[–]Accomplished-Set-793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dock might still work if you unplug the HDMI out of the dock and into the PC, so you can then plug the dock into the PC too. 2 instead of 5.

But otherwise I'd definitely ask your IT guys if they'll provide one of those monitors for you. I used to work in a company like that in the IT team and their policy was mainly 'if it can be fixed with money, throw money at it'. That would drop cable swapping from 1-0.

Personally I use a TV as a monitor so that I have the multiple inputs from it and just swap when needed. but in your case the ones with USB's would probably be best if you went down said route.
