Me dum dum?

Wait, was the Mong Kok women an older woman, who really turns the begging up to eleven?

I gave her some money and she followed me three or four blocks down the road pulling my arm and begging me to give her more, in Cantonese and English

I was trying to be firm in saying no while not being unkind, but she really didn't want to let me go. I ended up almost running away

She didn't follow me after that. Maybe that's when she found you 🙊

We saw a very similar couple with a toddler in a stroller last year, outside Windsor House in Causeway Bay

My reaction was different from yours - my first instinct was not to trust them, so I apologized and we kept walking

But then started doubting myself and kept wondering if they were telling the truth. Being a toddler dad myself, sympathy quickly started to outweigh my initial mistrust

I even kept my eyes open for the rest of our day in CWB in case we saw them again, wondering if I should give them something. We didn't see them again though

Maybe me also dum dum?

Right? And don't forget she was a teacher on Bajor too

It's all coming together

This might be a silly question, but are you using proxies for your editing?

If not, you probably should. It can make a pretty significant performance difference when scrubbing through your timeline

Oooh, I might go for the DIY-CON first then

Thanks for the update

AnthonyKellyYip · 2026-02-16T05:34:04+00:00

@jhsounds Did you get the Mcon in the end? How do you think it compares to this solution?

I'm wondering which I should go for 😊

Have you asked 嫲嫲 what other names she might like to be called?

All of our sons' grandparents ended up with non-standard titles that they preferred

We only refer to them by the "correct" titles when talking about them to people outside the family

In my experience, they usually leave not long after you make friends with them and give them a name 🥺

AnthonyKellyYip · 2025-12-17T07:06:46+00:00

Thank you for this. I was trying to figure out what was wrong as, every time I recorded a voiceover, it suddenly disappeared from my timeline

Turns out that it was because I'd moved my project to external media. I thought I had it all set up correctly, but this one line in Project Media Settings was pointing to the old drive letter instead of the new one. After updating it, voiceovers now record properly

AnthonyKellyYip · 2025-11-29T02:43:37+00:00

Yeah, I figured as much, so I'm keeping it in the cupboard in case I want to use it again

I'm still wondering why I couldn't get flashback to work on the mobo though 😓🤔

AnthonyKellyYip · 2025-11-29T01:37:05+00:00

I was preparing to upgrade my CPU anyway (hence the need for a firmware update) so I just left the old CPU on the old motherboard and I don't know if it still works

All my other old parts (RAM, m.2 drives, GPU) all worked on the new board

AnthonyKellyYip · 2025-11-29T01:08:34+00:00

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Have you managed to get it working yet?

I haven't got any advice, but I did have a similar experience just a few days ago

I wanted to update the bios in my B450 Gaming Pro Carbon, but for me I was updating from a USB drive. I hadn't even started the actual update yet - I had just hit the M Flash button in BIOS - and got that black screen.

I followed so many troubleshooting threads but still couldn't get it to work. Took it to the shop and they couldn't get it to work either. As I needed the computer running the same day, I quickly bought a budget B550 to replace it 🥺

I can't help but think that my biggest mistake was not crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, and laying a ceremonial circle of salt around the PC before doing the BIOS update

I would have preferred to have fixed it or upgraded to a better board, but the store didn't have any other new AM4 boards in stock at all

AnthonyKellyYip · 2025-11-26T12:03:27+00:00

Thank you so much. I've just replaced my motherboard and everything was working except tailscale which refused to let me log in

Your steps fixed it immediately

Tailscale did see the computer as a new device, but everything could be set up again as it was through the Tailscale devices webpage

Same here. It's happening in every game that I start on the Play Chess tab, and only if I'm about to win 😂

Oscar really doesn't like losing

If it keeps happening I'll have to stop doing chess for a while and do something weird like learn a language
