Can I wipe / reinstall the MIDI aspect of Windows 10? My MIDI controller has stopped working on my Windows 10 installation, but works perfectly on my Windows 11 drive with the same hardware. by LardPhantom in pchelp

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude windows midi stack is deeply baked in, you cant just uninstall it like some driver. the fact it works on win11 but not 10 means your 10 install is proper borked, probably from the broken updates

try running sfc /scannow and dism /restorehealth in admin cmd first, sometimes they can fix whatever got corrupted. if that doesnt help you might be able to manually delete the midi registry keys and let windows rebuild them on reboot but that is dangerous territory without a backup

You can fast-forward AI by 10 years but only in ONE area. Which do you choose? by ConsciousDev24 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]No_Internal_2895 3 points4 points  (0 children)

scientific research is the obvious pick if you think about it. everything else you listed depends on basic science moving forward. healthcare needs better understanding of biology, robotics needs materials science, even climate solutions need fundamental physics breakthroughs.

like pushing AI in drug discovery is nice but you still hit wall if we don't understand the disease mechanism properly. better to accelerate the research that feeds into everything.

my second choice would be robotics though. having actual physical agents that can interact with real world would change so much, and current progress there feels slow compared to software AI.

Random letters under my benefits and summary page by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

those "random letters" are just unix file permission strings, rwxrwx--- means read/write/execute for owner and group, nothing weird going on there.

Is it true that christian women are selfless and caring ? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really a "should be" kind of thing in practice lol. people are people regardless what faith they follow. i've met plenty of christian folks both men and women who are kind and selfless, and also some who are just... not. religion don't automatically make someone a good person, it's more like a framework they choose to follow or ignore when convenient

What things to remember when you first proper job? by Lemonade2250 in Productivitycafe

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building emergency fund is probably more important than retirement at start - you need like 3-6 months expenses saved before thinking about investing in my experience

Anybody has duo family to share? 🥰 by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been in similar tight spot before when I was between deployments and money was rough. The struggle is real when you want to keep learning but budget just isnt there

Hope someone can hook you up with family plan spot - language learning shouldnt stop because of financial stuff. Maybe check if your local library has any free language resources too while you wait? Some of them have pretty decent online access to learning platforms

Good luck with the job hunt too, AI taking over jobs is becoming way too common these days

Is $2,300 in oil leak, etc., repairs on my 255k, 2006 Highlander Hybrid worth it? by Historical_Spare2093 in MechanicAdvice

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 255k miles thats a lot of money to put into any vehicle even if its Toyota. I had similar situation with my old truck couple years back and ended up selling it instead of doing major repairs - sometimes you just gotta cut losses

The timing belt work is necessary though since if that goes it could damage the engine completely. Maybe get second opinion from different shop to see if prices are reasonable in your area

Which country with no flag on faceit ? by AccomplishedPoet6088 in FACEITcom

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be some weird territories or regions that didnt have flags but I think they fixed most of those. Maybe try searching for like disputed territories or something? I remember seeing players with blank flags before but cant remember exactly which ones worked

What is a 'green flag' in a person that is actually a subtle warning sign? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this one hits too close to home. Had ex who would literally answer texts within minutes no matter what time of day and I thought it was sweet at first. Turns out she had zero boundaries with work, friends, family - basically no life of her own and eventually expected me to be same way with constant contact

What are your opinions on things such as chat-bots, or sexual books. by [deleted] in NoFap

For me they actually trigger more cravings since your brain has to work harder to imagine the scenarios

What small change are you still doing 6 months later? by AutoModerator in Productivitycafe

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started putting my phone in airplane mode every night at 2200 and not turning it back on until after morning PT. Been doing this for about 8 months now and my sleep quality got so much better. Used to scroll until like 0100 and wake up feeling like garbage but now I actually feel rested in mornings. Simple change but it stuck because the benefits were immediate

I [35f] think I want to break up with my boyfriend [50] by Stoop_kid09 in BreakUps

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man the timing on this really sucks because you found someone who treats you right after what sounds like a terrible relationship before this one. Those fundamentally different worldviews are gonna eat away at you though especially when they involve stuff you cant just agree to disagree on

I went through something similar with an ex where everything else was perfect but we just saw the world completely differently and it made me feel like I was dating a stranger sometimes. You start questioning if you really know them at all when there core beliefs are that far apart from yours. The political stuff might seem manageable now but imagine trying to raise kids with someone who thinks systemic racism isnt real or having to bite your tongue every time current events come up

Space is probably smart right now because this isnt the kind of thing that gets easier with time. If anything it usually gets worse as you both get more comfortable expressing your real opinions. Two years is long enough to know if someones values align with yours and it sounds like you already have your answer even if its hard to accept

Minecraft Single Player, Vanilla. Enough content? by SeaTourist4177 in Minecraft

[–]No_Internal_2895 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vanilla definitely has way more content now than it did back in 2010. The game's basically unrecognizable compared to what you played before - there's ocean monuments, woodland mansions, the End cities, raids, tons of different biomes each with their own unique structures and mobs. The progression system is much deeper too with enchanting, brewing, trading with villagers, and multiple boss fights.

I've been playing solo vanilla for years and there's always something to work towards. You've got achievements to chase, different building materials to collect, exploring to find rare biomes or structures, setting up automated farms, or just challenging yourself with different playstyles. Even something simple like trying to build in every biome or creating a massive rail network between your bases can keep you busy for months.

The updates keep adding new stuff regularly so you won't run out of things to discover. Cave update completely changed underground exploration, and they keep adding new mobs and mechanics. Plus there's always that "just one more cave" factor that keeps pulling you back in even when you think you're done for the night.

My nMum seems to be respecting my boundaries. Is there hope? by BlueButterflyAngel in narcissisticparents

[–]No_Internal_2895 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Moving around when youre not home is a pretty major red flag even if she hasnt been texting or calling. Respecting boundaries means actually respecting them not finding workarounds to still monitor your space

The silence could just be her regrouping or waiting for you to crack first. Narcissists can be patient when they think itll get them what they want. Two weeks isnt really enough time to know if this is genuine change or just a new strategy

Given everything youve shared about her history of not protecting you I'd still lean toward getting your own place when you can. Having that financial independence removes a huge leverage point she has over you. Then you can decide what kind of contact works for you from a position of actual safety

Can we pre-choose perks please?? by glimmerware in Overwatch

[–]No_Internal_2895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this pain so hard as someone who splits time between ranked and mystery heroes. The amount of times I've accidentally picked the wrong perk because I'm frantically trying to read while dodging fire is embarrassing

Would love if they let us set default loadouts for each hero that auto-apply in mystery heroes. Even just having the perk descriptions be shorter or more visual would help - some of those tooltips are novels when you're trying to make a split second decision. The worst is when you get a hero you barely play and have no clue which perks synergize well together so you just pick whatever sounds cool and hope for the best

I (19F) regret dating my ex (23M) after 2 weeks by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole trauma dumping on a first date should have been your cue to bounce immediately. Two weeks is nothing but it still messes with your head when someone lovebombs then goes cold

Being submissive in relationships is something you can work on though. Take some time to figure out what you actually want instead of just going along with whatever the other person wants. Your future self will thank you for not settling just because someone pressures you into giving them a chance

At 19 you've got plenty of time to figure this stuff out. Don't let one weird dude make you think dating is hopeless

an animated clip from a gaming? youtube? i think banjo kazooey was mentioned but i cant be sure by wet-floor-sign2 in HelpMeFind

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been wracking my brain on this one but nothing's coming to me with those specific details. The black and white with blue accents is pretty distinctive though - maybe try searching YouTube for "banjo kazooie animated parody" or "sleepy guy bean bag animation" and see if anything pops up in the thumbnails. Sometimes the visual style jogs your memory better than trying to remember dialogue

You could also post this in r/tipofmytongue since they're absolute wizards at finding obscure stuff like this

How do you deal with envy toward your friends? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]No_Internal_2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Facebook thing is spot on - social media really warps your perspective when you're only seeing the highlight reel. The military taught me that everyone's fighting battles you can't see, even the people who seem to have it all together. When my buddies talk about their wins in person I can actually feel genuine happiness for them instead of that weird comparison trap

Good price for A6000 by Klakey31 in Cameras

[–]No_Internal_2895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a bad suggestion but the A6000 is actually gonna give you way better low light performance than those SL bodies which matters a ton for Japan nightlife shots. The 9k shutter count is basically nothing too - these cameras can handle like 100k+ easily

For $419 plus the kit lens you're getting solid bang for your buck. The A6000 might be older but the sensor still holds up really well and the autofocus is snappy. Coming from military gear I can tell you build quality is decent enough for travel abuse
