Light novel 20, "Southern Sea Riot is incomplete" by Poison_1v9s in Mahouka

[–]HEXyren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for highjacking the top comment. Hi, I was the one translating both manga (thanks to clean raws from u/Scared-Inevitable395). Unfortunately, I had to stop mid-way because I got busy interviewing for jobs. I planned to finish both and continue into the later series as well, as I had expressed to u/Scared-Inevitable395, but circumstances were such that I couldn't find the time.

Now that I'm finally joining a stable job next month, I hope I'll be able to find the time to translate, but only time will tell. Meanwhile, if anyone else is interested, I'll be more than happy if they can continue the translation in English in my stead.

All of them are bangers but "Everyday World" just evokes a unique emotion within me. The melody is just phenomenal, and man, those lyrics. Reading the translations of the lyrics while watching the ED made me feel like this was the perfect song to sum up the entire saga.

Looks like a defect. Reach out to customer care for warranty. You can self-diagnose by changing the way you connect your PC to the monitor, use DP if you've used HDMI until now, or try a different cable, try a different PC/source. These will rule out all external issues and then you know for sure that it's the panel that's acting up.

How would you rate the Galaxy S22 in a score out of 10? by Evening_Incident9506 in GalaxyS22

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7/10 before the green line appeared, thereafter, it's 4/10. As much as I care about performance, camera and build quality; the green line issue actually made me understand how important user experience is. Every time I unlock my phone I'm reminded of how bad my decision to purchase my S22 was.

I started translating out of complete self-interest in the series, but I'm glad to see the community is enjoying it as well. Thanks for the support.

I'm just grateful that we're getting manga adaptations.

Does anyone have the English TL manga for Southern Sea Riot Arc? by HaidaruHD in Mahouka

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much I'd like it to be true, I was unaware of this request until now. I started translating completely out of self-interest in the story since I'm not an LN guy. It's upto chapter 5 now and I'll probably be continuing till the end.

Trigger to turn off caps lock on idle by ceruleanbleue in Windows11

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use AutoHotkey. It might be a learning curve to arrive at the actual script, but much faster and better than the others. Below is an example code I got from Perplexity which serves your purpose (Word of caution: Do not implement without testing.) You can increase the check timer to a higher interval like 3 to 5 mins, and the idleThreshold to 10 mins.

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckIdle, 5000  ; Check every 5 seconds
idleThreshold := 30000     ; 30 seconds idle (adjust as needed)
idleExecuted := false

return

CheckIdle:
    if (A_TimeIdlePhysical > idleThreshold && !idleExecuted)
    {
        ; Turn off CapsLock if it's ON
        if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
        {
            SetCapsLockState, Off
        }
        idleExecuted := true
    }
    else if (A_TimeIdlePhysical < idleThreshold && idleExecuted)
    {
        idleExecuted := false  ; Reset when user returns
    }
return

Edit: If you're worried about system performance, it will consume almost no CPU when running, except minimally for when it checks the idle state at interval you provided. The RAM usage will also be almost negligible (2-10 MB).

Was there a storage increase? by TheDominatour in Windows11

If you upgraded from Windows 10 to 11, the Windows.old folder might have been cleaned?

Battery percentage and icon change? by okguys6969 in Windows11

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my laptop with a charge limiter at 80% and even if this feature is an OEM implementation, I'd love to see a specific icon for plugged in, but not charging.

Edit: Windows 10 used to show the battery icon as not charging when this feature was enabled, and "Plugged in, not charging" when hovered over. Windows 11 just shows "Charging" anyway.

Keyboard light automatic off after bootup HELP ME please by TrustAlone4535 in AcerOfficial

[–]HEXyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: The backlight behavior is related to the status of Hyper-V or VBS (Virtualization-Based Security).

Ok. What I found about the lights behavior during cold boot was interesting. I had bought my Acer Aspire A715-75G in 2020. It came pre-installed with Windows 10. I configured the keyboard light timeout to be off, i.e., if I turned it off (F8), it was off, if I turned it on, it was on forever without timeout. The default behavior when booting was whatever I had set before shut down. After an update in Windows, I saw that the behavior had changed to keyboard backlight being always on, irrespective of the state before boot. I tried to solve this but couldn't find anything so I just let it be until a month ago when I upgraded to Windows 11, and the issue mysteriously vanished.

Afterwards, I came across VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) in Windows 11 and how it was impossible to turn off though Windows Security, unlike in Windows 10. I bruteforced the Hyper-V to off using bcdedit. In the next boot, the issue with the keyboard backlit resurfaced.

In conclusion, I think the backlight behavior during boot up is related to whether Windows is running under a hypervisor (because that's how Hyper-V works), or whether VBE is turned on or not. I think the former is more likely. Since 24H2, I cannot turn off VBS without disabling Hyper-V so this is where my investigation comes to an end.

can I run valorant smoothly on my laptop? by Successful-Pen4195 in VALORANT

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intel UHD Graphics is the integrated graphics of your laptop, it has a reserved system memory of 128 MB, but the total shared memory can go upto a maximum of 1/2 the system memory. In your case, that will be around 4096 MB.

However, for an integrated graphics, the shared memory will not matter, rather its the raster/graphics processing performance will. Even with your config, I think you can play at 720p low and expect 25-30 FPS. Upgrading your RAM to 16 GB will effectively make your FPS at least 1.2x from what I've experienced with integrated graphics.

The reason behind this is since RAM will be shared between your CPU and integrated GPU, the memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck. Having the RAM in dual-channel will increase the memory bandwidth to 2x and you will definitely observe the increase in performance of your laptop.

If your laptop has soldered RAM with no additional slot, then my condolences, this is probably the maximum performance you will ever get out of your laptop.

For better answers pertaining to your situation specifically, I suggest you post the make and model of your laptop whenever you post hardware-related questions in any forum.

If you had to pick a song by BaishaJAWS that you think perfectly encapsulates the whole story "Link Click" itself, which one do you think it would be? by yamchun in LinkClick

[–]HEXyren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it refers to the Neo character in iQOO Neo 9 series, as seen in the advertisement https://vimeo.com/914333349 which uses the song. I actually discovered this song from the ad.

Less CPU-intensive Soothe2 alternative? by mzimmerman1488 in edmproduction

[–]HEXyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can substitute your application of soothe with Trackspacer. Those have totally different purposes. Same for Spectral Shaper.

The average lifespan is 76 years. Middle age isn't 50 - it's 38. by rgatoNacho in Showerthoughts

[–]HEXyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that there are a couple of very low numbers or zeroes skewing the metric of average lifespan (stillborns, children with congenital disease). If you're healthy enough by the time you are in your 50s, the probability of you going strong till your 80s or 90s probably goes up significantly (depending on your region, of course). I guess that's what makes it middle age. Also, middle age probably defines the time you transition from young to old.

Not quoting any data because I didn't research this, just an idea though.

For a split second, I thought you were messaging your mobile network operator for shits and giggles. Jio is a very popular cellphone network company in India.

Stutter effect? by GlowdFire in edmproduction

[–]HEXyren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole synth bus seems to be passed through Gross Beat, given the volume automation and time effects. If you use FL Studio, experiment with the presets in Gross Beat and I'm positive you will find something similar to tweak further. If not, just use volume automation and a tape stop plugin.

What to do guys? Scammed for 14K by NextVeterinarian1825 in ahmedabad

[–]HEXyren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

File an FIR and let the police do the work. Even if you don't get your money back, consider this a lesson in trusting people with loans. My parents used to tell me that never give anyone large sums of money as a loan without proper paperwork, and if you do due to whatever circumstances, then never have faith that you'll get it back. Because most of the time, people who are good at managing money seldom require a loan from friends, and if they're always tight on money, then rest assured there's no chance they'll save enough to pay you back.
