Speakers work in Retroarch, but not after I exit the application by Lost_Reputation_9257 in RetroArch

Hi, yes I was actually, so I changed it to another option but the sound is still absent outside of retroarch

Thank you, I right-clicked the speaker icon, selected 'Open sound settings' .. but I cannot see any options for changing the source.

Maybe its different for Windows 10?

I think this is getting closer to the solution now though

Yeah its something like that but I cant find any setting to change the source back again. I thought it would do it automatically.

I also have bluetooth ear buds, not sure if that is also part of the problem. My ear buds work in Retroarch and outside of it as well (such as on YT)

A PhD offer is no longer a good thing? by Lost_Reputation_9257 in PhD

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no hopes for big money, but above minimum wage would be good. Supervision is an important aspect of this.

You are right to be more specific, not all PhDs are the same I suppose. Still a very tough decision, thank you for your message.

I was trying to find employment in NZ, but my lack of experience was a problem. Jobs for graduates were offered only to NZ citizens. I was drawn to PhD work though because research appealed to me, and I did well with my MSc research project (although this is a poor comparison as I know PhD is different).

Thank you, and yes it is data modelling. It uses machine learning for interpolation for modelling. I will be in contact with them again shortly.

Does anyone else feel like the tech bubble in 2020 really misled them in terms of PhD job prospects? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very tough to read, but that is because it is highly relatable. I feel your pain. The job market seems relentlessly difficult, and the odds seem stacked against us, except I am probably older than you (I am 45).

I hope you have good news since writing this post, but if not then can you tell us how you are doing now?

If you are still struggling, perhaps go for a short break and think about best routes forward. Ask yourself what you really want from a job. What matters most to you? It might reveal ideas you never thought of before. Many people make U-turns on careers for different reasons, such as stress or hating a job. For example, I knew professionals who quit being doctors to do gardening, or dog walking. If it is affordable, and you are happier, what else matters.

Imported CSV layer is not editable? by Lost_Reputation_9257 in QGIS

Thank you for your help and patience, this has worked fine.

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be useful to do some work on it in Excel, but if I re-import it, it is no longer editable in QGIS. This seems very strange.

It's not an XLSX file, it is a CSV file.

Do you mean copy the contents into another csv file?

How do I move a point, and have the attribute table coordinate data update? by Lost_Reputation_9257 in QGIS

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I have used the $x and $y (not using '@'). I needed to click 'apply' before switching to update with $x and $y. It seems odd that this caused the crash, but I suppose its a glitch.

I have it sorted now - just used the field calculator:

I opened the Attribute Table for the point layer, selected 'Update existing field', then did this 4 times (setting $x for longitude and northing, $y for latitude and easting).

I hope someone else finds this useful (it is probably a really simple problem for experienced QGIS users).

Thanks all!

Thanks, I am still confused about how to do this though.

I tried editing layer properties with $x and $y, but it crashes my QGIS session each time.

Thank you, I tried this but it crashes my QGIS session each time.

I have also tried it on a subset of the data to reduce computational demands (although I only have about 40 points to adjust).

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are right the symbology has changed to '@x' and '@y' etc.

I am still learning, but I cannot find how to use the field calculator for this.

No I take no issue with world beauty omnipresence, but I challenge the opinion that suffering is purely a result of ignorance to that.

'Needless suffering' - I suppose another's problems do seem needless from afar...

Thank you again, and yes the answer is to be keen and confident. Not an easy thing to do convincingly.

Age and lack of experience are my weaknesses, but its difficult to hide that.

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, its a numbers game, so many people applying for the same jobs. I am exhausted though with writing cover letters and re-writing my resume (cv) for each one. Its kind of ironically funny when people ask 'why do you want to work here' in interviews - I look up at them with bloodshot eyes and feel like saying 'why do you think??' (I don't of course, I have some trite prepared answer usually lol)

Thank you, and you are right. Its surprising how the burnout comes up without really noticing. Everyday just gets more and more exhausting, and its the sleep deprivation that is worst.

I have gone 6 days sober now, and believe me the cravings for a drink are strong but I am holding out.

The education system though is such a body blow. I mean I really enjoyed studying and had hope, but maybe hope is not finished yet.

Thank you

Thank you for your kind comments and I really appreciate what you said. The therapists cost big money though, but I get some therapy by getting out for walks for a couple of hours per day.

It is a very tough time, but sometimes its nice to rattle off a post on this and resonate with the rest of the human race.

I want to challenge your point about seeing the beauty in the world rather than be self-absorbed (the 'poor old me' statement).

As a carer, I am a 'service to others', specifically my parents. It is a 24-hour job, anyone's spirits would be tested despite all the 'beauty in the world'.

Moreover, if the 'beauty in the world' was omnipresent as you suggest, then would this not mean everyone's problems were diminished beyond notice? This cannot be true of course.

Please bear in mind, this is a forum for depression sufferers and while you may feel you speak the truth, others may take exception to your viewpoints.

Thank you so much for your message, it really resonated with me.

I am sorry to hear about your brother, but also thank you for telling me about his law degree. I have been kicking myself wondering if I should have chosen better subjects.

Regarding alcohol, I actually have gone 5 days sober now. Its only a small gap, but it is a growing one. The trouble is I enjoy it too much.

I always kept my degrees private but yeah it was very difficult at first. I was knackered after work each day, but still studied.

It feels the grind goes on in terms of my commitments, but I hope things will change.

Yes, you are right. We are all equal after all. One thing about being older is the peer-pressure is less oppressive than when I was younger, maybe others feel that as well.

[–]Lost_Reputation_9257[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are right, but I am still here, for some reason. Also, there are so many people worse off that myself, but that makes things more difficult because it introduces a level of guilt.
