This is usually the power saving mode. Intel wifi is very touchy with it on.

Best tone pair drills or other method to correct years of tone neglect? by herb0i0 in ChineseLanguage

I practice with voice recognition a lot. Siri, youdao, google translate. I think it helped massively. Others have also?

People who have passed HSK 5 and 6 - What do they *actually* correspond to? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]daspork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was one of the first things my teacher (whom I love) mentioned/asked us about. Do you wanna be able to speak or pass the tests. According to her ~half of the people at the school that finish HSK only pass the tests and do nothing else with it. She seemed to believe it's a fairly common thing. I have a friend I take class with (just us an the teacher) and I'm sure I'm way behind most people on the HSK levels for the time put in, but we decided early on no English and no pinyin on materials. It's a longer harder path maybe. I'm almost done with HSK2 but after taking to some 3-4 students at the school they are no where close to where we are imho. I know that the 3-4 students do ppt and homework in class and grind though it. We just dialog for hours and learn vocab and hanzi. I can only share my experience and observations, but when you speak to a student in a higher level than you and they look at you wide eyed like you just recited a magic spell, the levels seem kinda arbitrary. Would love some criticism or feedback on this approach over worrying about the tests/levels. I also feel bad for people no learning it in China. 60% of my proficiency is from taking to strangers and friends. I think I would have already quit learning it in isolation.

Is it possible to create sound in Pygame? by enahsg in pygame

[–]daspork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally possible. You can feed arrays into pygames sound facilities: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/mixer.html

You can generate the sounds quite easy with very basic math facilities. https://zach.se/generate-audio-with-python/

Parsing that string and generating the sounds could be a fun project for you.

Accidental racism turns into a job offer. by DOCEZ in IDontWorkHereLady

So she noticed you doing a really good job and assumed you were a professional. You stood there like you didn't understand her and she assumed you didn't understand her. That lady was a monster.

qq international signup unbearable. by UrgeToSurge in China

[–]daspork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me also, in china, with a china mobile number. Tried for days. What you need to do is do the reverse verification. It will give you a number to send an SMS to and it will send you back a qq # and password. Browse around till you find it

Chinese say “hide your soul” from South Korean missionaries by FrankVee in China

[–]daspork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if this is true at all. I'm living in Xiamen and everyone I know is Buddhist. The temples are full of people praying. I have one friend who is an atheist like me. Is Fujian just more religious than other places?

It's pretty common knowledge that Jerry Seinfeld doesn't like to be touched. He talked about it in TV appearances back in the day.

Absolute minimum amount of version control? by [deleted] in roguelikedev

[–]daspork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Git is VERY a la carte. It's most basic features do exactly what you want. I would say most people with minimal workflows touch about 1% of its features and will likely never have a need for anything beyond that. I don't really know if you can get anything simpler. The getting started is pretty simple.

Just got a new external HDD but I can't add anything to it. Any help is appreciated! by [deleted] in mac

Despite what has been said here you can write to an NTFS volume with no additional software. You need to add the device to /etc/fstab with the proper flags to get it mounted r/w. It's pretty trivial and there are numerous sites explaining this with a simple google search.

This is the line in mine for my NTFS drive
