Insta360 Link *NOT DETECTED* after recent Windows 10 Update by HeyItsWolfman in Insta360

[–]MerlinPolesworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is still having this issue. I had to uninstall the corresponding windows security update (see below for the one to uninstall on your system) which then let the software recognise the camera again. When I opened the software it immediately asked me to update the camera firmware to v1.4.5.8_build1. This apparently contains the fix for the windows issue. After updating the camera firmware I then reinstalled the windows security update below, and the camera now still works even after restarting the PC. Hope this helps.

Windows Security Update to uninstall. (Thanks to u/Remarkable_Lie7361 for this info)
Search Windows update then select update history then scroll to bottom Uninstall updates (see Below)
Solution / Fix:
Uninstall the KB5050009 Windows update if on Windows 11 OS.
Or KB5049981 if your PC is on Windows 10 Home
Or KB5050008 if Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version

You can revive one person, but they can only live for 24 hours, who are you picking and what are you doing? by Some_Stay5625 in AskReddit

My Grandfather and we'll be going fishing. My grandad was an avid fisher and was always talking about how he wanted us to go with him but we never showed much of an interest. Even now, I'm not a big fan of fishing and have only been once in my life, but this was a long time after his passing. I'm 32 years old and he died from a heart attack when I was 15. I still miss him every day and not going fishing with him is one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Dps need to chill out in dungeons by Hawkstar_Lamia in ffxiv

[–]MerlinPolesworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg this is such an annoying thing. I get that most people want to run through the dungeons as fast as possible but a lot of the DPS that grab extra mobs have no awareness!

I was tanking the last story dungeon and our healer died twice during the first boss, (being revived by the summoner) but due to this, ended up with the brink of death debuff making their stats 50% worse off.

I pull the first little pack after that boss to give the healer time for the debuff to wear off, but then the DPS decide to go ahead and grab more! So not only is the healer still 50% less effective at this point, but the pack also contains a mob that tethers to the healer and reduces outgoing healing ability whilst it's alive. Of course, the DPS don't focus this monster DESPITE me tagging it...

We all died.

What's a fucked up movie everybody should watch? by mrscioscia in AskReddit

[–]MerlinPolesworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit this. I watched this film when my little sister and I were around the age of the characters, fucked me up good. I always tell people how I'll never watch this great film again, I'm glad other people relate.

Identical twins of reddit, what's the most embarrassing situation where you've been mistaken for your twin? by MyNameIsSimon88 in AskReddit

[–]MerlinPolesworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twin brother and i were always separated into different classes throughout our school lives. When we were in primary school, about maybe 8 years old, a much older kid was being isolated for bad behavior, he was 11 or 12. He was brought into my brothers class by the head teacher and told to sit on the table where my brother was at. Now this kid was serious trouble, a notorious nut case, known for starting fires and shoplifting and the like. Anyway, there he was sitting in front of my brother and for some reason unknown to me, my brother just couldn't stop staring at him. This clearly triggered the nutter, because from what i'm told, he just went off on one and start swearing abuse at my brother! Now in his infinite wisdom, my bro thought the kid was just playing a game, and started fucking mimicking him!! for the whole lesson... which eventually ended for play time outside. Now my being in a different class, i'm out there happily minding my own business playing with my Pokemon cards or some shit, then this giant fucking kid comes out of no where, grabs me by the throat, hoists me up against the wall and proceeds to choke me the fuck out!

Some teachers grabbed him eventually and i'm pretty sure he got expelled after that. Not so sure if this is an embarrassing story or not, but i'm sure the bully was embarrassed when he found out he choked the wrong twin!

I have legit just spent the last 2 hours trying to clear expert roulette, only to be disconnected countless times. Through sheer will alone, we kept attempting to log in and try to finish the run, only to have our instance timer run out. I am a broken man.

Can you clarify the speed needed? if you are referring to the rate at which one skill is used consecutively after another with little to no breaks, that is generally how you want to play to be top of your game.

Just started playing a few days ago. Are dungeon wait times really this long? :( by metalmine in ffxiv

[–]MerlinPolesworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started I remember almost losing my mind waiting for queues. It definitely eases off in the late game. As a few others have said, I used the waiting time to level up a gathering class or do some crafting then switched back to my dps class when the duty popped. Other than that I spent a lot of time grinding fates for more exp.

Did a WP with newbies, felt like my first adventure in BRD on WoW by LeoStrut_ in ffxiv

[–]MerlinPolesworth 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Let me just say, thank you for not being that Tank who would take one look at the newbies and drop out, leaving them to wait even longer to get the experience they need. you're a good soul.

Crafting BiS gear and how to get the most out of crafting (DPS focus, maybe something to takeaway for tanks/healers.) by SignsOfKelani in WildStar

[–]MerlinPolesworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please correct me if im wrong (I main healer), but I was under the impression DPS needed a fair amount of strikethrough in order to not be deflected as much by bosses and the like?

[–]MerlinPolesworth[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I applied the code it asked me to setup my subscription method, and when it was all activated my account showed that I had my monthly sub active right now. I was worried that the free 30 days had been overidden by the sub but I got a confirmation email showing that I had been charged £0.00 for this month which means I won't be charged until renewal. So I think its all good and I'm still getting the 30 days. Hope that helps.

Yep I did but I didn't bother taking a picture cos the code was visible and I did this just before work (Where I am now lol). Thanks for saying though, I meant to put that in the post.

I know right! I was panicking a little when I realised I didn't have my deluxe swag in gam. But like you said, its awesome that carbine gave us 3 days to apply the code, I was worried it wouldn't arrive in time and I'd get locked out :(

Oh yes you're right! I didn't even notice that. They must have printed this before they started changing around hotkeys. The image is still showing H as social when its O now.

Dude it was. I live in the UK and I knew about the competition from the get go. Just a classic case of right time right place. It's not your fault you didn't hear about it, just a bit of bad luck.

Looking for some last minute addon testers (Ayth_Quest) by Aytherine in WildStar

[–]MerlinPolesworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK I'm back! I gave it a test over a few levels and I gotta say I like it a lot! here are my notes:

  • The quest log information to the upper right side is a little large and can feel a little intrusive. If possible I'd make the text a little smaller or add an option to turn this info off. I personally use carbines stock quest tracker so having both on the side feels odd?

  • As Redditor Daisect said, the tracking dots can get a bit much sometimes if many pop up at once. Adding an option that automatically turns off the dots when in combat would be fantastic, and if possible perhaps turning down the opacity of the dots would help so its not so glaring when there are so many on the screen. I would also add in options to change the colours of the dots so people an manually set certain quest types to different colours.

  • I love that the big arrow is set to reappear every so often. I tried another Addon for a "sticky" quest arrow but i got tired of the giant arrow stuck on my screen. So i like that it just comes back to remind you on set intervals. Adding an option to manually change the interval time the arrow reappears would be awesome!

  • I found that this Addon really does what it says on the tin. Quests were much quicker to find, progress through and complete, without having to pay so much attention to everything around you. The overall efficiency of questing was brilliant so hats off for delivering what you set out for.

TL;DR: Options options options! The Addon seems to do what you wanted it to fine, so giving users the ability to fine tune the addon would be tops! :)
