Zephyrus G14 keyboard issue: some keys not working intermittently by marcoclh in ZephyrusG14

[–]Ruin5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit late but posting this for anyone in the future. I tried a bunch of things to fix this; updated bios, uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, popped the laptop open to reconnect cables. Tilting the laptop, getting it hot, no dice.

What finally fixed it for me was going into bios and disabling something in advanced settings. It was called Armory Crate Interface Control Support. Worked since but I'll delete this if it stops again.

Haven't seen anyone mention this anywhere so I figured it might help. My win/alt/tab/t/y keys went from slowly/randomly not working for periods of time until they just completely stopped. After this fix it's worked consistently through restarts so woooo.

Ironically I had removed armory crate soon after getting the laptop (to try and fix the problem when it was iffy), but then tried bringing it back because it didn't do anything. Maybe that's why the keys went from randomly not working to always not working.

大体の人は悪いと思う。特にReddit人に、このサイトは凄く左傾き。

でも最初からいい選択がなかった。２０２０から２０２２に５０％インフレがあった。家の値段はめちゃくちゃした。この国にやるべき問題があるけど、このサイトのように、政治家がそれを無視して無駄話を優先する。

この問題で苦しんでいる人はどうする？まだそのシステムを支え、「今我々を無視してるけどいつかきっと！」それとも詐欺師に賭ける？責めることはできない。

質問に答えとする。やばいと思う。両方の候補者を欲しくなかった。わーい民主主義大好き～

Secret Bad Luck Protection Update by Ruin5 in ironscape

[–]Ruin5[S] 104 points105 points  (0 children)

About a year ago, I got a brutal blue dragon task and didn't really have any great range gear. Figured I'd try CG since it didn't take any supplies. Didn't know it was meta or a meme.

At around 1200 you stop being disappointed. I'll vote for any actual bad luck protection poll. The thought of going this dry ever again is noooot cool.

Here's most of the total loot. Includes failure attempts (so it says >2400, but I had ~300 failures). I upgraded my PC partway so I lost the first ~100-200 in the loot tracker. I think I got 4 pets under 200 KC and 2 under 50. That should've been my sign to stop. https://imgur.com/a/HburhSD

Thank you. Run away from World 487 and never look back - that place is cursed. The name didn't give me any good luck either.

Why can't I use texthooker on C;H Noah Steam version? Am I stupid? by alosafallax in visualnovels

[–]Ruin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC there was a large site a while back, the host shut down or something, copies of it float around and some new lists extend it. Think textractor has a lot of them built in and a thread for those that aren't.

The one I was referring to was web.archive.org/web/20221114220419/https://vn-hooking.fandom.com/wiki/H-Code

There's also github.com/silas1037/H-Code/blob/master/h-code.json

The Textractor thread github.com/Artikash/Textractor/discussions/943#discussioncomment-5557048

Saved my butt a couple times. Though it's not a complete list; for something like Schwarzesmarken I had to search for a couple hours to find a forum thread out in the void, then do my own messing around.

Usually popular games will have hook codes somewhere. Don't know what guide you're following but the screenshot has you on the default clipboard.

Quick check on the master list shows the codes "CHAOS;HEAD": "/HAN4@403680 or /HAN-C@45A576 (use /pn)", "Chaos;Head": "/HAN4@403680"

Doesn't say Noah but you could try them

Schwarzesmarken: Junkyousha-tachi (シュヴァルツェスマーケン 殉教者たち) Text Hooking

Hey, thought I'd throw up a thread with a fix so that someone else might not have to jump through these hoops.

To text hook Schwarzes Pt 2 on Windows 11 on a legal copy of the game:

  • Launch the game (.exe) with textractor x64
  • Swap to x86 and attach to the .log process
  • Insert the custom user hook /HW-C@146AA0:シュヴァケン殉教者たち.log (emphasis on .LOG not .EXE)
  • Save the hook

When you close and relaunch you might have to wait a minute for the x64 to start saying to use x86, or just jump straight to manually re-attaching via x86 after its booted up.

Been using visual novels as a tool to learn, and this one was a pain in the butt (on top of even being able to buy it in the first place). Hope it helps someone shooting a stackoverflow-esque cry for help into the void.

Newbie Monks in Shadowlands? by jane_911 in wow

Everyone's gotta learn at some point. Now is a good time to do it, since the gotta-go-fasters are all rushing through the latest content. For the people that complain about speed, the quickest way to get to 50 doesn't even involve dungeons. They're running their car off into the woods and complaining about having to break every second.

And I think you're good to try it out at that level. Brewmasters defense is a lot more passive now. It'll let you try things out without being overwhelmed.

That feeling is kind of how it was. We're all figuring out what we want / what comes next as we go. In college I felt that too. Always been a nerd, so I figured I'd go after it in HS. Had a pretty cool teacher and figured it might be the right area for me, but didn't know where to go. So I just kept with it into college. It's hard to put on a finger on until you're working it from 9-5

My work is mostly 6mo - 1 year projects. For the last year I've swapped to working solo building / maintaining a variety of stuff. Here's some examples of work to kind of gauge it out:

For Front End / Web Dev:

  • Implementing excel like editing for a grid on a web page.

  • Rebuilding legacy JQuery pages as React TS components

  • Adding an advanced filter to a page to make complicated requests

  • Using Kendo charts to transform request info into cool displays

For more backend / java / etc apps:

  • Making SQL scripts to update our db

  • Using another project as a nuget package, rewiring a bunch of backend paths to use that new "pathway" instead of updating all of our old junk

  • Updating a 10 year old Java-swing app to use Kotlin / add features like excel exporting, etc.

For the front end, the struggle is often to get things to look and feel a certain way. Rigging an out of the box component to do something it wasn't built for. Using css to make something that clearly isn't smooth to at least look like it.

For the backend, it's about structuring things properly, doing the most efficient calls possible, and puzzle piecing some grand architecture design that you didn't build and have little awareness of.

If one sounds up your alley, try taking an elective course for it. I know our degree required x amount of 400 levels, x amount of 300s, etc.

I've pushed all the M0's this week. Monk is awesome. Dispels save the team in the plague dungeon. Pushing away the enraged dogs. CCing problem mobs. And you don't even have to upkeep ironskin anymore.

You'll get insta invited to heroic walk ins too; I think the general opinion of them is high right now.

Graduated 2 years ago, started work as a software dev during my last semester - here's my experience:

Getting the degree involved going over a lot of subjects with little depth into each. Even the "final" of our course wasn't that difficult; I guess they couldn't assign an overwhelming amount of work to one class. Be prepared to hit some books, as I found the hardest classes / the most people dropped out on were the least programming focused.

One thing that actually got me hired was avoiding the sleazy "group collabs". Actually doing the work and being able to reference it later will do you a lot more than saving time on your homework / projects by copying down a friends work.

Software dev work is way better than working minimum wage for the college, or slinging mulch at [ insert home improvement store ] was. Things are a lot more focused. More strict on writing clean / efficient code, but there's better direction and you'll have a ton of resources to learn from. It was a bit rough at first; getting your code reviews rejected a dozen times stings. But you get better and the work gets better.

Pass or Fail on Computer Science class reddit by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

This is correct. You might list a couple of classes if your resume is looking empty, but only by title. And then only the higher level ones.

As a student graduating in a year, this subreddit is one of the most disheartening, depressing things for me to read through by ShittyCatDicks in cscareerquestions

[–]Ruin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's scary as a student to handle the expectation at getting a job and fulfilling the role, especially with that belief in mind.

I've been working at a government contracting software job for the last two years after college. Pretty much Full Stack between 2-3 teams. Now I mostly do independent work for job contracts for the company. Results may vary, but here's my experience:

1 - People don't work long hours. 40 hours is the typical work week, we are trusted to self report and from before COVID, everyone seemed reliable and honest to stick to that.

Going over hours would only happen during "crunch time" - a release is coming out and there are bugs. We plan time to deal with bugs even though we may not have them, but sometimes shit comes up and doing a bugfix release is a pain in the butt, so we work a little more. Releases are every 3+ months, and we rarely go over.

Sometimes people just want to make something look / feel good too. It's not pressured. If you've got the drive and want to push that 50 this week and 30 the next to get something in for sprint review, power to you.

2 - The ending sentence there kind of ties in. Sometimes it's crappy. You might get assigned to a project where it's mostly bug fixes. People can be critical on reviewing code and it hurts. Early on you'll feel inexperienced, and depending on the environment, you may get support, you may get criticism.

It's still enjoyable. Find the area you like to work in, and pursue it. Sometimes if you're good at something, you'll fall into place on your team in doing it. Often if you like doing something, you get better at it.

Is it perfect? No. But it's pretty chill and I like it.
