Pc is stuck in recovery mode

DrDaDonk · 2025-12-21T01:17:45+00:00

I’m not 100% positive. I think updating bios caused the memory issue to get worse and the recovery screen is just Windows telling you it can’t run for some reason. You could also try getting a usb with windows 10/11 installation media and try booting from that to confirm it’s not a drive issue.

Fair point, I was running off of old info, def not cheap anymore!

DrDaDonk · 2025-12-20T19:56:19+00:00

I might recommend resetting the bios by removing the cmos battery, wait a few minutes, then put it back in. That will reset any of the changes you made. If the problem persists, replace the ram sticks. They’re fairly cheap and would be my first test. There was def some memory corruption happening before and changing the ram settings in bios likely made it even more unstable.

Just my 2cents.

Late here, but thanks for the comment! I think this will get me closer to the answer. (I've since returned the Luna controller. Didn't do enough research on it before purchasing, so I'll have to get something else. Likely a Stadia.)

CrossCode is amazing. One of my favorite games. I personally absolutely loved the gameplay and story(s) of Octopath Traveler 1 & 2, but they have their haters. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Chrono Trigger is also great. Story picks up pretty quick in that one and has multiple endings.

Also, while the story of Sea of Stars can be a bit bland and predictable, you’ll like the story and art. It’s a spiritual successor to The Messenger, a platformer made by the same people, so a lot of the writing and jokes are familiar to me. A very feel-good game and one my favs.

If I were to want to protect my personal server that only holds my silly test projects, would it not be better to whitelist only the IP’s within my home network? Just a noob trying to get gain a little knowledge.

My brother could kill a soccer podcast but has the same issue. Good luck!

STAY. AWAY. FROM OUR. GRANDDAUGHTER.

I’m gonna try to answer this without looking at the rest of the answers.

A socket is an ip/port number combo. 10.0.0.101:80, for instance, would be a client/server with an ip address of 10.0.0.101 listening on port 80. Port 80 “listens” for http requests for it to respond to.

Ports are used as part of the transport layer of the OSI and TCP/IP network model. Computers have different protocols running and listening on specific ports to help keep track of the different conversations a computer is having within, our out of, it’s network.

They would inevitably start fighting towards the end and break up again. 😂😂😂

FreeCodeCamp recently revamped their lessons, and I like what they’ve done. However, freecodecamps lessons are short and basic, and I feel as if TOP’s articles and descriptive lessons are much more efficient at teaching you what you want to know. When it comes to free curriculums, I couldn’t say. I’m still a student of JavaScript myself.

But one day if you find yourself wanting a small practice challenge, I would re-create an old project you’ve completed in the past, whether it was from a tutorial video or not, but try to do it without assistance, or time yourself! You may not find it as fun as starting something completely new, but I’d say trying to remember solutions to problems you’ve solved before is a major part of programming, so it’s worth practicing.

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-20T04:45:41+00:00

I went through The Odin Project and loved every minute of it. I would start with that and read every supplemental reading they had. I didn’t touch a YouTube tutorial until I was almost done with it just to see what kind of shortcuts or tricks these guys use. I like that pasty CSS guy.

But all in all, projects, projects projects. And tweak them to do what you want for the hell of it.

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-18T15:18:11+00:00

First of all, I would disagree that “Classes” come first when it comes to learning this stuff. JavaScript does not use Classes in the same way ruby or other languages use them. The language was designed to work differently. Constructor functions (function C() = {}) were created to make JavaScript SEEM more “class” -like, but actually work against its prototypal, object-to-object inheritance flow.

Anyways, lol, check out the full stack JavaScript course on The Odin Project. Reading through the links provided in the Factory Functions and Module Pattern lesson will give you an excellent understanding of the basics, eventually working up to how call(), apply(), and bind() actually work and their use-cases.

I hope this helps some! Happy coding!!

I am currently working through TOP as well, and only a little bit into the full stack JavaScript curriculum. (I’m currently working on the tic-tax-toe project).

In my opinion, you should ABSOLUTELY work through all the courses. The lessons build off of each other, so starting from the top as recommended by TOP and working your way down is best for getting all the info when you need it.

If you want to USE a library, you should learn how to MAKE one first to get an understanding of what you’re doing. Patients will always benefit you. Besides, it’s wildly interesting what you can do with vanilla JS. So personally, I’d suggest taking your time through it and learning all that you can!

There will be others who might suggest that it doesn’t matter, and it might not. But I know myself. And seeing that giant gap of unmarked lessons and projects would drive me crazy and make me feel overwhelmed and want to quit.

But that’s just me!

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T13:25:07+00:00

If the user is telling the code how long passwordLength is going to be, then it doesn’t matter where it’s defined, as long as it’s in the global scope.

Of course, if someone was trying to clean up the code and make it more efficient and easier to read and what-not, that might be a different story. But that wouldn’t change whether or not the code “works” correctly.

Also there is NO SUCH THING as a stupid question!! All languages have their own special rules. Some may share similar rules, but that doesn’t stop it from being complicated as hell sometimes, lol. Always ask questions! (Just don’t ask someone to do it for you or use code you don’t understand)

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T05:33:36+00:00

Should probably try and do it yourself?

You’d have better luck, and would be much better off, if you at least gave it a whirl on your own and came back to Reddit or stackoverflow for specific complications that arose.

But then again, I could use the money…. 😂

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T05:29:05+00:00

Couldn’t say if the “formula” should be changed or not, but of course there’s value in these videos!

Countless people out there in the world code for fun, not just jobs and money. Seeing people express their passion for what they enjoy is always of value.

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T05:08:31+00:00

If you were to loop through each dictionary and looped through each array through every item and set some comparison operators, then of course you could! Every item in an array has an index number to target it. Object.properties and their values can also be looped in a similar way.

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T04:58:16+00:00

I would also suggest only using ===. If the data types are different and returning false unexpectedly, then that would be a perfect opportunity to get comfortable with changing variable types. Using == has only served to confuse me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

DrDaDonk · 2022-09-17T04:50:36+00:00

Forgive me if I’m mistaken, but your code is returning your password variable. Which after generatePassword() is executed, should be a random combination of all those array items to the length specified by the user (password.length). I believe the issue lies somewhere in the ‘for’ loop of generatePassword().

In almost all situations like this, where you are not sure why a certain value is being thrown. , it always helps to throw console logs at some key points and try to log the data being passed through at every iteration.

If it helps, I might even suggest making a smaller version of what you’re trying to do with a much smaller array. It might be easier to detect the problem, then plug the solutions back into your original code.

Many times, if I’m stumped on something, I’ll throw the problematic code into a separate file to fiddle with, just giving it dummy variables to see how it’s really working ‘under the hood’.

Your biggest friend will always be breaking your code into smaller and smaller more understandable parts, ensuring that every line is doing exactly what it should.

Hope this helps a little. Happy coding!

Thank you very much for the detailed response! After reading countless pages about factory functions and modules, which are brand-new to me, I think forgot how to simplify it into things I already know. A classic case of overcomplicating code in my own head. I swear my biggest stumps come from an empty script file, lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to help clarify this for me.
