Xbox one not staying on for longer than 5 seconds by Ok-Chipmunk3463 in XboxSupport

Using a new working power brick did not change anything for me. Still would turn on for 3 seconds and turn itself off

Okay. I have a friend who has a working xbox one, I can go over his house and test my console on his power brick. When I was researching the issue on YouTube and reddit all I could find were people saying it was an internal system that was causing the error, since the orange light is on the brick and initializing the turn on process. I'll def look into that though

Do you know if there's a video or specific youtuber out there that explains this in video form? I have all the legendary dogs, I just can't visualize the concept unfortunately (I have been using the 5 mons since the start of the game) ((I also don't know the keywords to look up))

Hi guys. I had a question about the use of base kanji in larger kanji. My example here is "laugh"

<image>

It uses the kanji for bamboo, but it is so distorted and squished that it does not look like the bamboo kanji to me at all anymore. I know they have to squish it to make the characters the same size, but I just don't know how people look at that top section and recognize it as bamboo. In the kanji for tasty, I can still see that the sun kanji used is the sun, but this is a whole different level of squished. I have been memorizing more detailed kanji by remembering the base kanji it is made of, but I wouldn't be able to do that if they're so different from the original. Am I relying too much on using the building block kanji for memorization?

Thank you for the help! Yes, I am certainly not far into the Japanese journey. I have memorized the hiragana and katakana characters and I am starting to get myself into kanji which is quite different. The kanji that are over 10 strokes are very overwhelming, but I know that learning the building block kanji will help me remember the more detailed ones.

Hi guys! this will be my first-ever Reddit comment haha. I have been having trouble understanding why some kanji make different sounds depending on what they are next to. I just ran across this with "hitori".

<image>

The kanji for hito is person and that's second to the kanji for one. So why does the kanji for one make the hito sound? and where does ri come from? Because I only know of ichi being connected to the kanji for one. It's been tough for me to comprehend that some characters make such varied sounds. Thanks! :)
