My techie babies
Mar. 10th, 2018 03:35 pmSo... I'm a mac user, and the latest macOS beta broke the razer synapse software and now the lights don't work on my keyboard. Sigh. Changed my razer mouse to the swiftpoint Z and managed to get the front and back buttons working with a work around better touchtool software... But I'm STILL waiting for swiftpoint to release a native mac driver. Sigh. The bad thing about being a mac user who's a geek and gamer at heart. I want to use all the freaking cool buttons on the Z, and that BTT profile thing just doesn't work. Sigh. So yes... Still waiting 9 months on... Sigh.
Anyway.... My creative soundblaster roar 2 speakers haven't been working for a while... Finally got it to turn on by holding the power button and plugging in the DC at the same time, and then getting finally getting the mac to recognise the device... So yay, now it works again. I think that's *almost* all the tech problems I have to solve for now... Almost... For now...
Kinda...
Last week my 2TB HD with pretty much 800 GB of Arashi videos semi-died. Like, mac can only read the HD, not write. Basically the file system got corrupted, and I had to spend the whole week copying the data out to another HD (thank goodness for having 3 HDs!) and then reformatting the drive. So the drive works now, but I'm too lazy to transfer anything back. Phew. Thank goodness my data isn't lost. Though thanks to having paid for backblaze, I'm not that worried about losing data anymore. Still. 800GB... It'll be a pain in the ass to DL all that back, if it's even possible to DL it back before they delete the data at all...
Oh wells. I don't have anything particularly coherent to say, so I'll make myself scarce, cya!
PS: If you're interested to try out backblaze, I would appreciate it if you would use my referral link below, that way we'd both get a month of free service! https://secure.backblaze.com/r/01fa7z
