The computer and electronics super geek thread
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, it's looking worse and worse. Bios doesn't see the drive at all, Windows11 has it "briefly appear drive F, freezes for a while, then unfreezes with the drive disappearing again". Samsung Magician can't see it. (and it used to). Did it just up and 100% fail, overnight? Only 2-3 years old. Though I swear it showed up in drive manager once, fairy early in this saga. Last dying breath? -

Just started watching this with my son and the thing that jumped out to me is that the Special Forces group are wearing the TCTF uniform from the game Oni. Or at least armor inspired by that game. Is there any crossover? The similarities in design are just too much to be a coincidence to me.

@pengbuzz Understand the hurt. But, also glad to hear you found the right size spheres for the 22 incher! Huzzah!

they've definitely been introducing a whole host of new and interesting shapes, with some really great use cases. One of the interesting ones I only discovered yesterday is just a tiny wedge plate, and I kind of wish they would make many more of these types of parts, in as many angles as possible, because they are fantastic for shaping. Unfortunately.. for the way I relly need these, I actually really need one with a stud, so they're stackable. Also really useful would be those quarter round tiles, but also with studs so you can stack them into a quarter cylinder.

I find it amusing that anyone thinks Disney is making story decisions.

Just because something was done in Andor or Rogue one doesn’t mean that someone else won’t do something horrible later on. It is still Disney owned and they have shown that they have the power to ruin anything they can

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
Big s replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
X was cancelled due to low viewership, and I thought I heard the same for Reco. Might be wrong on the latter. Wtch might be the only one so far that was actually intended to be shorter, although not sure on the intentions for this one yet and don’t really know if it’s a success or not.- 3832 replies

I haven't really given the Sail Barge a look, but I'll agree that 35480 and its 3-stud counterpart have proven immensely useful. I wish they'd make more parts with hollow studs.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Do you have a laptop or another computer you can use to backup your storage drive? Just to rule out any potential issues with the originating computer, I'd use a secondary computer to back up the old storage drive to the new external drive. -

David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The storage drive is a SATA 2.5in Samsung 870 EVO SSD. Usually "D". It will sometimes show up as just a "disk" as "D", but is unreadable etc. It'll freeze if you try to click on it. Figuring a Win 10 reinstall is pointless, I finally upgraded to 11 right before going to bed. Will see if it handles drives any better. Am going to buy another external backup drive, and see if I can access the problem drive via an enclosure/USB and transfer contents. Generally: if only boot drive is installed, things are fine. If the storage drive is plugged in--problems, most often won't boot. If it does boot, then storage drive is unreadable/inaccessible in any way. Some USB sticks are now causing similar issues, if inserted---it sees they're there, and gives a drive letter-----but lists no volume/size/contents, and freezes if you try to look in them. Drive management will freeze if you try to do anything while the storage drive is plugged in. Have tried different SATA ports, and going to start trying different cables, just in case it's a physical problem. (but the fact it refused to close a browser and refused to shutdown RIGHT before everything screwed up, makes me think it's software/update, and not physical). Though of course, maybe a physical failure caused the refusal? But a storage drive shouldn't... -

The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is the storage drive a NVMe/SATA drive or a USB? Sounds like the former. If the drive was assigned a letter but a different drive is now using the same letter, the drive will mount but not be assigned a letter. You can force a drive to be assigned a specific letter at boot in Drive Management, otherwise it gets assigned the next available letter. Force shutdown during the Windows Update may have messed up the partition table and/or USB driver. Maybe reinstall the chipset driver? Try removing all drives except your boot. Plug each one back in one at a time to be sure they still detect and are accessible. You can try doing a repair with only the boot drive plugged in then start plugging your drives back in one at a time. -

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
Seto Kaiba replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The era of Gundam titles being ~50 episodes as standard has been over for a while now. We've only had two Gundam titles longer than two cours in the last fifteen years: Mobile Suit Gundam AGE (2011) and Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (2015). IIRC, only three mainline Gundam titles have been shorter than four cours, those being After War Gundam X (3), Reconguista in G (2), and The Witch from Mercury (2). The pacing in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is so awful that it's honestly hard to tell if the series is meant to be just one cour like the last proper UC series (Advent of the Red Comet) or if it's meant to be two.- 3832 replies

I found this image, but i can't verify the veracity of it. Anyway... I think Scavenger and Mixmaster are pretty obvious in the Takara picture, but for those that weren't sure the other two should be Transformers One Starscream and Transformers One Elita-1.- 17180 replies

Have they, though? 🤔 As far as I can find, they actually haven't. Normally when a character's ticket is explicitly punched they stay down. Andor (and Rogue One) just isn't that kind of story... and Dedra Meero's not that kind of character. She is done.
