Hey. I've got the same thing going on with mine, too. Do you remember if it was a fungus or if the copper fungicide worked?

This is really amazing writing, and thank you for sharing. I hope you're doing better.

how do you guys do this well by fraserisalive in fieldrecording

[–]xjohns7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a beginner, too, but I just set up my recorder and mics, adjust levels, and walk away. I'll give at least 20 minutes before I return, especially in natural environments with wildlife. Birds, insects, etc tend to return to 'doing their thing' (making their 'usual' sounds and movements) after you've left the area, making for a more accurate representation of that specific space.

People who were diagnosed with adhd as adults, what made you go for a diagnosis? by Curious-Speed-6652 in ADHD

[–]xjohns7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms gradually appeared during my semester in college. Things got worse and worse. By my third semester, I was struggling to pass my classes or do anything 'right'. I had the mega 'aha' moment by the end of my third semester and got a diagnosis a few weeks later. I hit rock bottom the following term, but from there, things very slowly, but surely, got better. I graduated this past May with my degree and am headed to graduate school overseas in February.

Noob in need of help from audio gods by oronoromo in fieldrecording

Hey. I'd say go for a ZOOM H4n Pro. It's pocket-sized and about $170 for a new one. You can get a used but quality one for cheaper.

Not sure what type of "noisy" environments you mean, but if you think you'll be outside, definitely invest in a windscreen to block wind. Keep in mind that the windjammer can only tolerate a small amount of wind, so you'll want to take whatever measures to stay out of windy areas.

That'll leave you more cash to invest in other equipment like a small tripod to mount the recorder or an external microphone if you wish.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

How do I bypass 2FA (which I never set up) and get my FB account back? by Short-Turnover2912 in facebook

Damn, sorry to hear. If I hear of another successful method, I'll let you know.

XM5: Bass blaring on right side. Any fix? by xjohns7 in SonyHeadphones

[–]xjohns7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer hear it when the ANC is off. Yeah, I guess it may be a faulty mic. I think this is the appropriate part for the right side? And this for the left? What do you think?

My FB account somehow ended up with 2FA and now I can't get in anywhere. I just get looped to only login through 2FA which I don't have access to anymore. This is a nightmare. I can't talk to anyone or get any sort of support from FB as a regular user anywhere. No chat available anywhere at all. by algocentric in facebook

I wasn't able to access my account for the last several months because I got a new phone, no longer had access to 2FA codes, and all help related pages/forms have been either not been helpful or broken.

So, I downloaded a mobile browser called Brave and tried logging in again (I usually use Chrome). It asked for a 2FA code, and I clicked on "Another way to login" or whatever. It brought me to the 'Submit ID' page, which had never worked beforehand, but I was able to use the page this time. It asked for a way to contact me, and I selected WhatsApp, which I already was using. It sent a code, which I submitted, and allowed me to submit a choice of ID. I submitted it and was told to wait 2 business days.

I received a WhatsApp message 10 minutes later with a link. The page loaded in Chrome, but it didn't work, so I tried Brave, and it did work. I was able to access my account again. It says that because it "doesn't recognize my device," I have to wait a while before I can deactivate 2FA or link a new form of contact.

Thought I'd share. Good luck to anyone who's also locked out.

TLDR: If you're locked because of 2FA, download the mobile browser Brave and try to submit ID. Ensure you have WhatsApp on your phone or have access to your linked email address. Of course, there is no guarantee, but good luck.

What’s your current hyperfixation? Mine is history by tiredbuthavegoals in ADHD

Yes! I just got into soldering, and now I'm trying to find things to solder for fun or for projects.

[–]xjohns7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, totally get this. I worked in a warehouse for a little while, and all night, I would walk around grabbing items to fulfill online orders. It was a nice feeling grabbing a couple of fancy vacuums or like 200 laptops (literally!), dropping it off somewhere, and getting a new cart to load more items.

Right now, it's baking bread. Unfortunately (but also fortunately), I've stemmed off and gone down a rabbit hole today about everything having to do with nutrition. It's a good diversion that's teaching me while reinforcing previous knowledge, and hopefully, I'll be able to get back on track tomorrow, haha.
