#genuinelyasking — Public Fediverse posts

Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

We had a bit of a mare yesterday, as wife's brand new laptop (an Acer Aspire A16-61M (NX.JP0EK.005)), which she got as a gift from family during recent sales, decided to suddenly crash in an awful manner after only a month of usage.

The laptop crashed in Windows (Win 11 Home, 25H2 with all AI tools removed) with an error message of some kind, rebooted, and then reported "no bootable device".

We spent a huge chunk of the day researching the issue, trying various supposed fixes, and failing miserably :Sighing_Face:

Our failure led to us having a neurospicy meltdown in the evening 😔 As such, we're asking for your advice on attempting to fix it ASAP for wife :PleadingFace:

Wife has raised a ticket with Acer in case they're able to help, but we're hoping folks here will suggest something other than wiping the drive and reinstalling an OS.

Things we tried included:

• Verifying that the SSD itself still showed in the UEFI/BIOS.
• Resetting the UEFI to default.
  • We cannot change to the boot mode to Legacy then back to UEFI, as some generic-advice-giving folks have suggested in Acer forums and elsewhere.
• Using Windows PE to access the command line tools, as well as variants based on it, like:
  • Aomei Partition Assistant's bootable media.
  • Hiren's BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.8).
• Using Windows 11 installation media (from their latest media creation tool) to access the troubleshooting repair tools.

The efforts thus far have only changed the error from not "no bootable device" to immediate blue screen messages showing a failure a load and presenting options (function key options like startup repair etc.) which all fail to work.

The main C: partition appears to be borked, and shows as unallocated.

We've tried to recover the partitions and the data, as well as clone the drive sector by sector, without success. As far as we know, Bitlocker hadn't been enabled, but one attempt to recover files under a tool within Hiren's BootCD PE asked for a pin when trying to recover files from the lost partition showing as unallocated space, so it may well be hindering any recovery efforts.

Due to life struggles, neither wife nor us had had the time to set up any backup services yet, and whilst most things are cloud saved and can be recovered, some files and all the custom settings and tools would be lost if we cannot recover the drive fully 😔

Apologies in advance if we advise we've tried something already, and please be kind and detailed with any comments or queries.

For context, we've 20+ years of troubleshooting Windows and hardware issues, but we're neither a programmer nor IT specialist of any kind, and have never had an IT-type job.

Any thoughtful ideas, suggestions, and recommendations will be most welcome 🩷

Update: After further troubleshooting, the issue appears to be that some crash broke the drive's partition table, and software couldn't recover all the partitions because BitLocker was enabled by default 🤦‍♀️ Fortunately wife was using her Microsoft account and the recovery key auto-synced to her account. Now just trying to find a bit of software other than DiskGenius (which is bleeping expensive) which can accept the BitLocker recovery key and rebuild the drive without having to back it up and restore it.

Further update: After a few days of working on this whenever we could around other things, and learning more about WindowsPE, WindowsRE, device encryption being enabled by default, bcdedit, manage-bcd, repair-bcd, bcdboot, various shite recovery tools that everybody claims are great but aren't at all, we finally ended up getting the device back into a semi-working state and told it to hold off on updates for the next 20 years. In the meantime, wife can use laptop again at least and we can fix the many other bugs again manually, via an in-place install, or properly backing up, nuking everything, and starting from scratch. On the plus side, we discovered that Rufus (the formatting tool) has options to download and customise Windows installations, including automatic disabling device encryption. Also had to play around a little with Linux Mint. We could get used to that, but we'd to find equivalents for WIndows mods and functions we're used to. Oh, and having to decrypt an encrypted unallocated (raw) partition, even where you have the recovery key, is one of the most cursed problems we've ever come across! Windows will allow you to assign a drive letter without formatting, but you can only decrypt it to elsewhere then: not in-place. Most recovery tools simply lack the simple ability to let you enter a recovery key or password and restore it in place.

Hey all :FediverseSymbol:

We had another linguistic thought.

(You can see our previous linguistic queries on looking for words for the pain of being misunderstood and finding an alternative word for hope.)

We realised that English has a specific word for the inability to experience pleasure from activities you'd usually enjoy: anhedonia.

However, it doesn't seem like there's an equivalent official word for the inability to experience hope.

Instead, there are only words like hopeless or hopelessness, but those words do not really suggest that the person can no longer derive hope from situations they'd normally expect to.

Following the same logic as the above, we think it would be something like an- plus either elpĭ́s or elpída.

So, we think it'd be either anelpis or anelpida.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Corrections?

Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

Anybody know a decent, modern replacement for Tag&Rename?

It used to be our favourite tag editor, but development seemingly stopped back in 2018.

We're ideally looking for something that's:

• Cross-platform (at least Windows and Linux).
• Has a user-friendly UI.

It must:

• Have a dark mode option.
• Be compatible with modern tags, particularly lyrics ones, which we're apparently way out of date on 😅
  • We think the newer Vorbis tag is UNSYNCEDLYRICS, based on some downloaded FLAC files, versus the older LYRICS tag we're used to.

For context, we primarily use WACUP on desktop or Poweramp on Android.

Not sure if it's a thing, but if there's some kind of new option for synced lyrics that's compatible with both of the above, that would be amazing!

Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

Anybody know a trusted script¹ or extention² to automatically replace "smart" (aka "curly") quotation marks and apostrophes with straight ones?

• Double quotation marks -- replacing “ and ” with ".
• Single quotation marks -- replacing ‘ and ’ with '.
• Apostrophe - replacing ’ with '.

Genuinely asking, but no reply guys please 🫶

Thanks 🩷

#AskFedi #punctuation #PunctuationMarks #QuotationMarks #apostrophe #GenuinelyAsking #NoReplyGuys

Edit: Apologies for any confusion caused. We're looking only for something basic and trusted that can replace certain characters or text strings with another. So long as we can easily configure it to replace the above, it doesn't matter if it's a more-general script or extension for replacing text.

Edit 2: We found an extention that could automagically do it for us. It's called FoxReplace. Took us a few moments to work out how it worked, but we ended up creating a rule for text only (ignoring URLs) to apply the desired substitutions automatically to the text output on any rendered web page on a page load/reload.

¹ Compatible with violentmonkey.
² Compatible with Firefox or Firefox-based browsers.

We've been thinking more about voice training.

• We don't find it fun: it's a painful chore.
• We can't do it if being perceived in person.
• We find the exercises too much like singing lessons (which are triggering) and very cringe.
• We cannot stick to a regular training regimen, particularly where we cannot guarantee sufficient uninterrupted time and space alone.

We do, however, like poorly attempting other accents (mostly English regional accents) and find it actively fun. (Not by ourselves though.)

Anyone managed to voice train not via daily, boring, abstract exercises, but rather fun voice activities that don't feel embarrassing to do around others and which actually spark joy?

Edit:

• Fixed some typos and missing thoughts / sentences.
• Thank you for all answers so far. Sadly none are helpful for us, but they may be helpful to others.
• We struggle with many things that make voice training much more difficult for us, including the inability to make verbal noise(s) solo within earshot of anyone else where we're not directly communicating with them.
  • Even when we used to stream, it was very difficult for us to do if wife was downstairs in living room, on the same floor as our office, even with the door shut.

Anyone found a good ELI5 and/or tl;dr article that explains what bollocks (e.g., AI bullshit; unwanted features) comes with Windows 11 25H2 and how to disable it? :Windows_11_Logo:

Already checked that StartAllBack added support for it last month, and has since had a further update this month for small bug fixes, but wanted to double-check ahead of time before doing an update before finding out it's breaking stuff 😅

Ideally trying to avoid spending a lot of time and energy fixing stuff (e.g., networking, particularly network drives) like with a previous update.

(Just to pre-empt some comments, honestly presently don't have the energy, time, patience, or executive function to migrate to a Linux distro, and likely won't for the foreseeable future, so please kindly don't suggest it. Thanks 🩷🫶)

I want to post a risky post actually, but I'm still considering the good platform for that post. Would it be good to post it here?

Question for any tech folks who are stuck with Microsoft Office 365 ("Microsoft 365 MSO") for work and use Excel, specifically Version 2408 build 16.0.17928.20512.

Where has the Paste > Transpose option gone? It seems to be MIA.

What's more confusing is that we've got it in Microsoft Excel LTSC Version 2408 Build 16.0.17932.20360.

Option should look something like this, but appears to be disabled or missing in the 365 version listed.

Hey lovelies :FediverseSymbol:

Which microblogging instances would you recommend to trans people in the UK looking to join the fediverse and why?

We're out of the loop on the best ones to recommend to Redditers looking for an alternative place to post, chat, and befriend people.

Must have strong rules against bigotry and ideally a large UK trans base :TransHeart:

DIY / homebrew HRT query on behalf of a trans gal we know, who lives in Sweden :TransHeart: 🇸🇪

How would someone in Sweden, hypothetically, get progesterone (P4) capsules or cream without a prescription, in light of Sweden's restrictive customs?

It goes without saying that this is necessary as Sweden, like the UK and other countries, has incredibly-poor gender-affirming healthcare for trans people :FaceExhaling:

Our current thoughts are:

• Find an EU-based pharmacy that's willing to sell progesterone cream without prescription, so customs don't check it 🇪🇺
• Get an EU-based friend to forward them on.
• Import progesterone API (CAS 57-83-0) and make them yourself 💊

Thoughts?

Hey folks :FediverseSymbol:

Feel a bit dumb for asking them, but our Google-Fu is failing us here on this.

Can anyone confirm whether there is some way to configure a task in Windows 10 (via Task Scheduler) to run a task every N hours daily between 2 times only?

We've got a drive synchronisation task which currently runs every 3 hours. However, we want to change it so that it only runs from 09:00 to 21:00 inclusive.

As far as we can tell, there doesn't seem to be an option possible in Windows 10 for this, but we wanted to double-check before we go creating multiple daily events (i.e., tasks to run once daily at 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, and 21:00).

Genuinely asking here :PinkHeart:

Hey fedi :FediverseSymbol:

We want to follow more

• agender folk
• bigender folk
• genderfluid folk
• genderqueer folk
• non-binary folk
• trans guys
• trans mascs
• trans POC
• two-spirit

... and anyone else who falls under the broad trans umbrella :TransHeart:

As it stands, our follow list has a bias towards trans woman, trans fems, and fembies. We want to balance out our feed and see your posts, thoughts, problems, questions, and joy that we're not currently seeing.

The problem we're having is that we genuinely have not been able to find many by searching 😭

For example, if we do a search from our instance for #TransMasc, we only see about 13 profiles and a handful of posts, probably due to our server not fully searching across fedi 😞

(FYI, any tech recommendations on additionally relays or ways to solve this search / federation issue on a Glitch-SOC server would be very much welcomed.)

So, please can y'all either reply back for us to follow you, have some recommendations of folk we can follow, or have thoughts on getting around our search / federation issue, we'd be super grateful :PinkHeart:

And boosts are very welcome :BoostsOKPrideSymbol:
