Having trouble with your TP-Link router's WiFi? You're not alone. Whether you're experiencing intermittent connectivity, slow speeds, or no connection at all, these issues can be incredibly frustrating. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve these common problems. If you need immediate assistance, don't hesitate to call our expert support team at +1–888–464–7211.

Common Issues and Solutions

1. No WiFi Signal

Check the Basics

• Power Cycle the Router: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix connectivity issues. Unplug the router, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.
• Check Connections: Ensure all cables are securely connected. The power cord, Ethernet cables, and any other connections should be firmly in place.

Reset the Router

• Soft Reset: Press the reset button on the router for about 10 seconds. This will reboot the device but retain your settings.
• Hard Reset: If a soft reset doesn’t work, perform a hard reset. Hold the reset button for about 30 seconds until the router restarts. Note that this will erase all your settings, so you'll need to reconfigure your network.

2. Slow WiFi Speeds

Optimize Placement

• Central Location: Place your router in a central location in your home for optimal coverage.
• Reduce Interference: Keep the router away from other electronic devices that might cause interference, such as microwaves and cordless phones.

Update Firmware

• Check for Updates: Go to the TP-Link support website and download the latest firmware for your model. Follow the instructions to update your router’s firmware, which can resolve performance issues and security vulnerabilities.

3. Intermittent Connectivity

Channel Interference

• Change the WiFi Channel: Log in to your router’s admin panel (usually by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser). Navigate to the wireless settings and change the channel. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are generally the best options for 2.4 GHz networks.

Bandwidth Management

• Enable QoS (Quality of Service): This feature prioritizes bandwidth for critical applications, ensuring that essential services like video calls and online gaming are not interrupted by less important traffic.

4. Devices Can't Connect

Check Security Settings

• Correct Password: Ensure you are entering the correct WiFi password. If you've forgotten it, you can reset it through the router’s admin panel.
• MAC Filtering: Make sure MAC filtering is disabled or that your device’s MAC address is added to the allowed list.

Network Mode

• Compatibility: Set your router to a mixed mode (e.g., 802.11 b/g/n) to ensure compatibility with older devices.

5. No Internet Access

ISP Issues

• Check with Your ISP: Sometimes, the problem might be with your internet service provider. Contact them to check if there are any outages or service issues in your area.

Modem Issues

• Modem Reset: If your router is connected to a modem, try resetting the modem as well. Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.

After using my Mac (2017) and leaving it on 'sleep' I returned to it and it kept saying my password was wrong, My wife tried her password and the same thing happened. Eventually after trying multiple times both my wife's and my user information were gone and we were left with only the 'guest' profile which also didn't accept our passwords.
After researching different fix ideas online (and failing miserably) I restored the Macintosh HD system. It now reads 'OS X Base System' and won't let me download the OS (High Sierra) that was previously on the unit.
I came across a thread that says to erase it and rename it Macintosh HD but the problem is that the option is greyed out for me therefore it won't allow me to create it.
If anyone can help me out with some tips it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

My parents both passed away earlier this year, and I'm handling their estate affairs. They had an iMac computer (model A2439). I can't find their password and don't know the recovery key (or even where to look for that). I'm not familiar with Apple products at all. Is there anything I can do to reset the computer, even if it means erasing all the info on it? Or, do I just have a really expensive paper weight? Thanks for any advice.

I've been running a code that generates a login page for a desktop app. By logging in succesfully, the user would be sent to the main UI of the app ("Mainwin.py"). However, everytime I tried to log in, it gives me an error about 'pymysql' not being found, even though I already have it installed. The error is caused by a file named "actividad.py", which is used to show what user has been using the app lately:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QDialog, QVBoxLayout, QTableWidget, QTableWidgetItem import pymysql class ActividadWindow(QDialog): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.setWindowTitle("Actividad de Usuarios") self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 300) # Ajusta el tamaño según tus necesidades self.layout = QVBoxLayout() self.tableWidget = QTableWidget() self.layout.addWidget(self.tableWidget) self.setLayout(self.layout) # Conectar a la base de datos y cargar datos en la tabla self.cargar_datos() def cargar_datos(self): conexion = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', user='root', password='password', database='test') cursor = conexion.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM actividad") datos = cursor.fetchall() self.tableWidget.setRowCount(len(datos)) self.tableWidget.setColumnCount(len(datos[0])) encabezados = [description[0] for description in cursor.description] self.tableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(encabezados) for fila, dato_fila in enumerate(datos): for columna, dato in enumerate(dato_fila): self.tableWidget.setItem(fila, columna, QTableWidgetItem(str(dato))) conexion.close() 

What's strange is that when I run the "Mainwin.py" file, it all runs smoothly. It's only when I run from the login page code that the error is happening. Here's the code of the login page for reference:

Anyone knows what's causing this?

Had someone try to scam me via phone call last night.
They posed as an employee from Uber saying that they were calling because a rider made a complaint that “I was not the same person in the picture and that they needed to verify some information”. He then started to ask me some questions that didn’t seem too off but could, indeed, be used to verify my account (-relatively new driver here; 3 weeks ish). Asked to verify my contact email on the account, what method of payment I have on my account (card linked, routing etc), and was oddly very sympathetic. I had explained how odd it is that someone would complain because I look the same in the photos and only had one rider at that time (thunderstorms previously) and that conversation was very cordial and the pax seemed really friendly. The scam caller seemed very sympathetic and basically was like “yea, sometimes people do these things to get a free ride”.
Right before he had called, I also had accepted a new ride request and was on the way to the pickup. When I answered the scammers phone call, I mentioned that I was en route to a rider and he said “no don’t pay attention to that, that was us sending you a fake pickup to initiate verification and that wi would be paid for my time on the phone verifying. I never gave my bank acct routing info or acct info but there were a series of questions where he said “I’m going to send you a code, can you confirm it” and then I noticed a message that my PayPal password had been changed. First obvious red flag 🚩. He then asked me to confirm the amount of money in my bank account so that he could send reimbursement money as well as a bonus amount of $150. Red flag #2🚩 I said, the numeric amount of my checking account should have nothing to do with applying any monies into my account. At this, he started losing his composure “look, just verify it so that we can deposit the ($75 -previously $150 red flag 🚩 #3 and your account will be verified and you can continue driving”. At that point I knew for sure it was a scam and said, “how many people have you tried scamming already?” And he hung up.
They’re getting smart y’all. Stay alert and don’t be fooled. Stay safe out there.
Call came from: (830)205-1951 “Donald Walker” (-name said to me)

I really can't remember the password that i put in this thing, so I tried to reset my motherboard BIOS to erase my BIO's password, but it didn't work. I tried to clear the CMOS by removing the battery in my motherboard, and also tried to clear the CMOS with a jumper too, but no success.
I've read in some sites - while I were searching for a third party software to crack the password - that modern motherboards don't store the BIO's password in the CMOS. They store it in EEPROM. And I have no ideia what this means, so if somebody have some tip for helping I truly would be thankful.

All of you unconsciously prune information. Forget it. Feed off it at your own convenience. I remember everything. Everything. Constantly. The pain of losing my comrades. The sadness. All of the information that composes those moments…never leaves my brain for a second.

Nico Vorgeil is the head of Union's science division. An atheist turned anti-theist, he was recruited for his one of a kind skill in pioneering the understanding of the universe. The only thing that could push him even further was his own union with a woman that had intellect to match his own. However, when she died in childbirth, his Negation manifested, dooming him to suffer endlessly. He died in regret, having betrayed everything he stood for in exchange for a few fleeting moment with his late wife.
But now, Fuuko Izumo's on a quest to give everyone a happy ending. And Nico's the one she wishes that for the most…

I couldn't forget even if you told me to. Those words. Those memories. I've ingrained them into my soul!!

Around a year ago my email got i think hacked in a way, but basically they got ahold of my email and password to some websites i've used the same passwords to and attempted to log in multiple times on those but failed. I haven't really bothered to change anything since I don't use the email anymore nor the stuff connected to it and I have a different password log in for the email itself plus they kept failing to do anything so I didn't really think of it as a threat. Today I recieved an email stating I just subscribed to some vpn thing the mail itself was very suspicious so I discarded it as yet another bad attempt at trying to access my personal information however later that day I checked my gmail again and got curious and without thinking about it I clicked the PDF file and now I'm really stressed over the fact that theres a chance I might've gotten a virus and these hackers seem very bad at their jobs but I've disconnected my sim card, turned off everything (wifi, bluetooth, data and stuff) is it possible that I've gotten a virus and what do I do then? I havent been able to transfer my stuff onto my pc and I have a lot of things on that phone that I can't just erase.

A month or so ago I busted my phone, and it was a huge pain in the ass. Aside from some lost data which was minor, the biggest PIA was resetting MFA, getting in touch with my US banks, and any other services that were tied to my phone. The experience also made me take a step back and realize I am pretty lax with security, and if someone had gotten hold of my phone and somehow god-forbid gotten the passcode, then I'd be fucked. They could do so much damage with unlimited access to my email + MFA SMS, even in just a few hours.
As a result, I kind of went down the ADHD rabbit hole hyper-fixating on how best to "optimize" my iPhone and iCloud configuration for two things:

1. If it breaks, the transition to a new device will be relatively painless. I won't have to spend several days stressing and trying to find the right international customer support number for a myriad of institutions and services to get into my accounts.
   
2. If it gets stolen and compromised, then there will be enough barriers such that the I'll have enough time to lock down the device and/or my accounts remotely before the thief can get key data or move funds.
   

So I put together this guide and checklist that I thought I'd share with others. I am a programmer but by no means a security guru, and so if any IT, DevOps, or SecOps folks want to chime-in with suggestions or improvements, please do.

Requirements

• an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone 14 or newer for eSIM compatibility.
• a US-based carrier with eSIM support + a pay-as-you-go model for international travel (I use Verizon)
• iOS 17 or above (may not be strictly necessary, but I know my setup works with iOS 17.4.1)
• a password manager. I personally use 1Password because it works, is reliable, has cross-device support, and is easy and intuitive. It's also only $3/month.

Dual Sim Setup

I have been rocking an iPhone 12 for the past few years, and it's served me very well. I know the newer iPhones (14 and up) no longer offer physical SIM card support, but carriers in most developing countries are behind the curve. Even if they offer eSIM support, it's been my experience that it's a major headache to get setup, there is a lack of customer support in English, and they may even require a local ID to register the eSIM. It's way easier to just head to a shop and pay $5 for a SIM card, load some funds onto it, and then you're good to go.
The eSIM has been very helpful for maintaining a US phone number for which I can receive SMS texts from my banks and other financial services as well as continue to use iMessage with all my US contacts since hardly anybody is on Whatsapp.
Most, if not all, carriers in the US support eSIMs now, and so you should try to find a carrier that offers an international pay-as-you-go plan. Verizon offers two international plans - one is a "Travel Pass" where it's a flat fee of $10/day anywhere outside the US or Canada (even for just one text message). The other is "pay for what you use" which has a rate per text, minute, and mb. For my US plan, I only care about receiving SMS texts from my banks and the occasional phone call to a service that doesn't have an international, toll-free number. Data will always be cheaper outside the US, so I disable cellular data switching for my US line.
The last time I was in the US was for the holidays and I bought 2 used iPhone 12's for about $200 each. They have some scuffs, but they're perfectly serviceable. In LATAM, it also doesn't attract nearly as much unwanted attention in the street as an iPhone 14 or 15.
I brought these with me as extra devices. When my phone busted last month, thankfully I had a backup in iCloud and everything was loaded in a few minutes as normal. This was before I was using the eSIM, but if I had the eSIM I could just go to Verizon support online via chat and they could help me switch the line to the new device easily.

Basic Configurations

• Always use the latest version of firmware
• Require a passcode that's unique to that device.
• Use FaceID instead of passcode when possible (a thief can't snipe your passcode from a distance if you unlock your phone with FaceID)
• Set auto-lock to 30 seconds (lowest possible)
• Erase data upon excessive passcode failures note, this is complemented in a later step with daily backups. The odds of you putting in the wrong passcode 10 times is low, but in the event you do and you wipe the device by accident, you should be able to easily load in a back-up from the previous day)
• Turn off "Ask to Join Networks"
• Forget unused networks so that you don't rejoin automatically (airports, hotels, etc.)

Creating Backups

• Set iCloud backups to run automatically every night. This will allow you to load your entire phone as is (contacts, call history, iMessages, apps, even your wallpaper) onto another device during setup. The iCloud backup usually runs at 2am while I'm sleeping.
• You may need to pay for a higher tier in iCloud if you have too much stored on your phone. It's $3/month for 200gb of iCloud storage, and I find it worth it. Though I know some people with tens of thousands of photos for which 200gb might not be enough.

Password Policy

• For any accounts that may contain sensitive data (payments, PII, etc), always generate a unique password with 1Password. Don't reuse passwords. Same goes for PIN codes.
• For core accounts, create a strong but memorable password and then memorize it. The odds of getting locked out of 1Password are low if you're diligent, but for 2 or 3 core accounts (where you access money, your primary recovery email, your iCloud, 1Password), it's worth it to create strong, unique passwords for each core service and memorize them.
• I try not to reuse passwords in general, but I still sometimes am lazy and use one of my handful of typical passwords if there's no sensitive data collected by the service and it's a service I don't use often.

MFA

Set up MFA with everything. Add multiple options if possible. My preferred MFA options are as follows:

1. One-time code that renews every 30 seconds. This is device agnostic and can be stored in 1Password. You could also use Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy or similar, but there's just more overhead to now recover those accounts if your device becomes inaccessible.
2. One-time code to recovery email.
3. One-time code via SMS to my US phone number. On the pay-as-you-go Verizon plan, I only pay 5 cents per text message received. It's worth it to keep one consistent number.
4. List of recovery codes (stored in 1Password as an attached txt file for the given account)
5. Use another app for verification (Google does this a lot).

Lockdown your iCloud security

• Enable MFA.
• Create a strong, unique password.
• Remove any old or unused devices from the iCloud account (old phones, ipods, etc).
• Enable "Find My" for all of your devices.
• In Find My, configure all devices to send the last known location.
• In Find My, enable the configuration to remotely wipe a device.

In the event your phone is stolen, the idea is you could run back to any of your devices or even use a friend's device to log into iCloud on the web, go to Find My, and then in a single button click you can lock and wipe the stolen device. If the thief turned off the device or disabled wifi/cellular, then as soon as it comes back online it will be wiped.

Final Clean-Up

• Move any compromising photos to the "hidden" folder (which requires FaceID or passcode to unlock)
• Review the Files app for any documents containing sensitive info. If you need these documents to be accessible on mobile, then move them to 1Password and delete them from the Files app.
• Create a shortcut to trigger the lock screen (and thus require FaceID or passcode) when specific apps are opened (banking, email, photos, etc).
• Not sure if this is best practice, but I just keep everything in 1P and turn off apple keychain and the apple built-in password manager. I also don't save passwords in Chrome or Safari.

Extra tips

These aren't really iPhone tips but general tips. They are probably obvious to you if you aren't as scatterbrained as me, but I figured that I'd drop them here in case they help someone.

• Add thorough security measures to iCloud, primary email, and any banking or financial services. Review each account and make sure you have a strong, unique password as well as a unique PIN, MFA configured, login alerts, recovery codes, and an international, 24-hour toll-free phone number stored somewhere to contact the service in the event of a crisis. For banking services, add withdrawal limits, regional restrictions (if you bounce between the same few countries), and SMS notifications for charges over a certain threshold. Open up a second checking account with a separate debit card for trips to the ATM.
• Consolidate and close any unused bank accounts. I realized that on my phone I had Revolut, Venmo, Paypal, Nequi, plus 4 US banking institutions. I took this time to close my Discover account (which is pretty much useless outside the US anyway), close my Revolut account since I'm hardly ever in the UK/EU, and consolidate investment accounts from different institutions into just a handful that's easier to monitor.

I really don’t like my cousin. He’s sevenAnd he knows so many cuss words. He’s autistic and very aggressive. Whenever he does someone bad I try not to yell and corrects him but everyone else yells at him. Whenever he does something bad his siblings yell at him to stop even though it’s pretty innocent. His older brother hits him people tell him to stop but he really never does. He forces people to put in passwords for any electronic. He is addicted. He takes people’s vr headsets and forces on you to put in the password and will start screaming and hitting you. He takes that thing to the bathroom and doesn’t take it off for anything. We have to take it off because it’s out of battery and get really violent.
He doesn’t know basic hygiene either. He goes to the bathroom and never washes his hands. He watches the most vile things ever and probably will repeat doing those things. I don’t like when he is here because he will invade your space and start throwing things. I think he got professional help but honestly they just throw a phone at him without any parental controls and that keeps him calm
That doesn’t help my grandma when she gets an important call but he immediately hangs up so she doesn’t take it. My dad is firm and puts him at time out without yelling at him. He has him calm down and speak to him properly. Half the time he understands but once he goes back to his own house all that progress is erased.
I just needed to tell someone because if i tell my dad he just says he needs a little help and that’s family you can’t help family. My poor grandma is old and can’t handle a violent child. It’s worse in school because they try to take his phone but he screams and hits.

I've thought about it alot and come to this conclusion. I have a few friends but not like I'll lose touch if I delete it.
I've been feeling bored/lonely recently due to some stuff that happened to me. The more I use ig/fb, it's like it doesn't make sense for me personally.
I had it there for keeping up to date with everything, esp news. But other than that, I just scroll and it doesn't make my life better in anyway which is what I expected when I first got it. I've had it for years so what's the big deal? I am scared tho, cause how am I gonna get the news? TV? Eww. What about memes, motivational stuff etc?
I deleted fb yesterday and all my games. The only thing to delete is reddit and ig. Reddit I don't want to delete cause I get advice here plus the time line of what happened with my bf so I'm not sure what to do. And ig because my ex is there 😭 how will he find me if I fall off planet earth. I don't wsnt to deactivate either. It's either I delete or not. And that's my biggest thing.
But rly, I don't do anything there. I just scroll and it makes no sense to me. But my ex 😢 I don't wanna give up ig cause I can still see his ugly face. What should I do. Should I take a few days and ensure I wanna do this before deleting? What happens to the ppl I befriended here?
I'm just tired guys. It's too much.
Edit: Deleted my post history. Oh god, that was the hardest thing to do. I miss my ex now. It's like I'm erasing him physically forever. I hate this. But I rly wanna delete my socials. Makes no sense
Edit2 : I think I'll keep ig for a few days again. See how I'm doing having deleted fb/reddit/games and other socials. Ig will be my last cause it's the one I use the most to chat with friends. I can't remember my reddit password lol so I'll just delete it from my phone

What's even the point of this life anymore? I haven’t seen any signs of improvement whatsoever. Crying while writing this, by the way. The page got kinda wet. Currently, I've locked myself in my older brother’s room (He’s elsewhere, so I just claimed the room as mine). My parents are the shittiest part of my life ever. I just watched a video today explaining why the education system in Bangladesh is terrible. And I concur. Lots of useless content, hyper-focus on memorization and tests, constant pressure of GPA 5. Furthermore, the only subjects in school important to my future career (fiction writing) are English 1st and 2nd paper. The rest of the subjects, meaning 10 different subjects, are just useless to me. What does learning “X guy died in Y time” do to help me get my career? It seems many Bangladeshi people are with me, so it's great knowing there’s support out there. But that support means nothing to me. Why should it? It’s not actually helping because my parents still don’t support me. Anytime I tell my mom, she reacts like the entire world just got destroyed. “Why are you becoming so bad?” “I can’t take it, my son is going to ruin in front of my own eyes.” Loving words. But to me, they only prove one thing. That she’s a lost cause; she will never support my decision to drop out of school. Dad is a mindless yes-man to her. In fact, there was once my mother tried to kill me. I threw her off and ran away to the living room. I don’t remember much, but basically, my dad got involved, and guess who he supported? Yep, that’s right, her. I was so upset that I started banging my head on the floor. Well, moving on from that, I once damaged my mom’s arm a lot, and I also once punched her so badly on the shoulder it turned black. These are things I’m truly sorry about. But I do think it’s a bit curious. She forgot the day she tried to kill me but remembers my wrongdoings. Returning back to education, one reason I wanted to drop out was that I didn’t need school for my career. Let’s see, what do I need? Skills? I can get those skills via informal education fast, given how one-star rated this education system is; that’d probably be better. Still, she doesn’t want to let me have that basic autonomy. Oh, and yeah, I live in Bangladesh, just wanted to mention that. One day, I ran away from home and sat in a nearby park. My older brother found me and brought me back home. In the park, we had a little chat in which I revealed my desires for literature and animation. He said he was gonna teach me graphic design. So I got excited. But then I figured out he wanted me to study for IBA on BBA, whatever it was. The number one business university in our country with a lot of competition and an incredibly low chance of enrollment. And that meant engaging in this stupid education system even further. I tried showing him some proof and examples that I didn’t need to engage in formal education anymore, that my dreams were possible without engaging in this stupid system. But every time I tried saying anything, he immediately interrupted me and told me he already knew what I was about to say and just dismissed them. That’s not new. On the same day, I gave him some papers explaining my struggles, but he didn’t need them, just saying he already knew. And he wasn’t being supportive; he was saying it in a rude way. Anyways, back to that whole thing, he started to pressure me to choose. Do I want formal education or not? I said I wanted to think about it and would answer later. But apparently not even that’s enough for him, because he continued pressuring me to answer right then and there while I kept saying later. Eventually, that led to an argument, and he hit me a bit on the head. And my mom? She refused to eat, to talk, to even move, just lay motionless on her bed all day, said she’d send me off to Saudi Arabia, saying she’d spend no money to support my goals.
Note: It's to be noted that while I wanna drop out of school, I haven’t given up on education at all. It's just that instead of formal education, I wanna pursue informal education as I get to choose what I wanna learn, so no pressure of learning a dozen useless (for me) subjects.
Moving past that, she tries to spend time with me daily. That’s a positive thing, I guess. It’s just no matter how much she tries to bond with me, my interest in her just doesn’t increase. Idk why. Maybe it's because everything going on in my life has made it hard for me to find time for myself, let alone her. And the fact that we have no common interests at all, aside from watching movies. She has told me that she feels lonely, which I understand. But why put the burden of removing your loneliness on me? Why not try contacting others? Once we were watching a movie, but then I opened up my phone just for a bit to find A LOT of messages. I found out that a close friend was trying suicide again, so I stopped watching the movie and started trying to convince them to stop. Mom was repeatedly telling me to come back (Granted; I told her that it was simply an important thing to me, like saying all my data was gonna be erased in a game I love, not the suicide part) and that, in addition to the pressure of saving my friend, made me snap at her, rudely yelling at her to just stfu. This caused her to be FURIOUS, and she was just repeatedly calling me crazy. I started crying and told them to give me a chance to explain, but they just wouldn’t give me a chance. They'd just call me crazy for crying, saying I've turned into something else. I thought of running away. But I needed a source of income. I've tried everything. I wanted to submit my books to a publisher to get them published, but new authors need to provide the publisher money to get their work printed, money I don't have. I wanted to use Amazon KDP to publish my books, but for that I need a bank account, which I can't open due to still being a minor. I thought of having an adult open a bank account on my behalf, where they would send the money they got from Amazon to me, but that's not possible either. I thought of perhaps contacting NRS to take shelter after I run away, but figured out they served a different nation. Finally, my mom agreed to my offer if I managed to get $500 from this career by publishing on KDP. My first idea was to write a novel within 10 days. But then I realized I could not write it so quickly. It’d diminish its quality greatly, as I need to take days to write each chapter. Then I thought of publishing my work chapter by chapter. And then realized you can’t do that on KDP. So there goes my dreams. I want to publish on Wattpad, get a lot of reads and tell them, “see, my stories attract readers a lot.”. But, as you know, money is kinda their only language. There's no hope for me anymore now...All that's left is running away and finding some low-quality job out there. Who knows though? Maybe I'll fail in even that. Maybe after I flee, I'll not get a job and just starve to death. That's how it's been my whole life after all. My life... it's just been one failure after another.
My mom told my brother of my goals to gain a decent income from “whatever it is that he's doing on Amazon” and he simply called it “rubbish” without actually trying to understand how.
And in addition to this, I also suffer from lifelong loneliness because:

1. I used to be antisocial in the past.
   
2. My past tarnishes my reputation, making it hard for me to blend in with normal people. Because of this, I became shy, socially anxious, and introverted.
   
3. As a result of being shy, socially anxious, and introverted, I struggle to make close friends. Because of this, I suffer from loneliness. I have casual friends, yes. But no close, intimate friends.
   

For example, there used to be a maid in our house. I physically and verbally abused her a lot. One instance, I was drinking water and while in an argument, I spit it on her. She seemed to have forgotten, but I haven’t. I just can’t forget such nasty actions of mine. I guess you could say in this case, the tree forgot, but the ax remembered. So dear [her name], wherever you are, just know that I’m truly sorry for all those things I did to you those days. If I could, I would try to repay you whatever I can.
On another instance, I remember chasing down a kid within the school because he made me angry. So as you can quite tell, I used to be very violent in the past.
I'm so done with EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. HUMAN. BEING. EVER breaking my trust.

1. Someone told me they'd read the excerpts of my story a week later. No sign of them now.
   
2. My ex-best friend asked me how he could make me happy. I told him the methods but he didn't do anything.
   
3. I complained to my ex-best friend about people never reciprocating my affection. He apologized and said he'd do better, but didn't.
   
4. I asked him to draw a picture for me after my bday as he couldn't give me a gift. He said he would but no sign.
   
5. I used BetterHelp for free therapy service. Sent a message. Well, I didn't exactly get better help even after 6 hours.
   

Everything in my life has been a letdown. Every time I've relied on someone or something, I've been disappointed. I'm afraid everything ahead in my life will also be a disappointment, so I'm afraid to live any longer. After all, what's there for me anymore?
Now what's left? My girlfriend's brother and my fear of abandonment.
As for her brother....he continuously breaks my expectations and descends lower. At first, I thought he was a decent man. But then he started to call her worthless simply because of stress. Of course, he later apologized so I thought he was still decent. But then me and her started to date and he opposed it. Now instead of simply talking to us like a reasonable man would, he decided to lie to me openly about things she said, saying she told him that she doesn’t actually like me or my personality or my looks, lying through his teeth. He also forced her into saying she likes my best friend more than me by saying he'd put her into the adoption center. Ok, so a control freak. I thought he'd be reasonable enough to talk this out if I did him a favor by getting his sister to hug him. Still acted like an asshole and was unwilling to reconcile. I thought that even if he was a control freak and unreasonable, that he at least loved his sister. But....then she told me this: "Bro just said "take care of urself if u dont wanna die" and gave me some meds". He left her to take care of herself.
My greatest fear is the fear of not being able to make an everlasting bond with someone I deeply love (and who deeply loves me). The fear that we will someday change and not be attracted to each other anymore and grow apart. The fear that our bonds will break and we'll have to move on from each other.
What if we lose our attraction to each other? What if one of us cheats or divorces the other? What if one of us secretly didn’t care as much about the other and stopped making any effort into the relationship?
It's hard to tell anything at the beginning. Because at first, it all feels so great. Like you’ve found the one you always wanted in life. But later on, you realize that maybe they're not the one for you. There's nearly no way to tell apart a relationship that will fall apart from an everlasting relationship until the break up actually happens. So it feels like no relationship is guaranteed to last forever. Relationships you thought were perfect at first, turn out to be not so great.
This applies not only to romance, but friendship as well.
Like I've envisioned multiple types of relationships: master-pet bond, romantic bond, platonic bond, etc. And the only time I've felt completely secure about the everlastingness of a bond was when I envisioned myself with a cat and a dog. Why? Because pets are simple. Their minds don't hold malicious intentions, their love never dies down for no reason, they don't get overwhelmed with different feelings that cause breakup or cheating to happen. Simply put, their minds are not complex. You love them, they love you.
Like why can't I just get a person I can fully trust? Who I'm completely sure won't leave me or lose interest in me?
Is it too much to simply ask for a relationship with no uncertainty whatsoever?
This fear likely stems from my lifelong loneliness. I believe it's called the fear of abandonment.
This fear roots all the way back to my ex best friend. I used to have with him what I'd describe as the perfect relationship.
V is my ex best friend, C is me.
A small interaction:
V: and also, how would you want me to express it to you love? expressing my support to you. (He just randomly asked C this, not because C told V to give him support. V actively thought of C's happiness and wanted to support him)
C: By existing. Yes, that's enough.
V: AWW STOP. I wanna do more tho.
In the same day, C feels an urge to also make V happy. He thinks of perhaps learning a famous song made by V's favourite band and then surprising him by singing said song to him. (C is thinking of adding some creative changes to the song make it feel more personal to V. He's not sure about that tho)
C and V are also very comfortable around and trusting to each other. They can easily tell each other their flaws and fears without any fear of judgement. In fact, C even told V about secrets C thought could repel V. His thought process was that it'd be selfish for him to hide this information from V and not let V choose whether or not he desired a person with such a secret. Fortunately, V said the secret wasnt as bad as C thought at all. Basically they trust each other as much as they trust ChatBOTs, so a lot of trust.
This was me and my best friend. Was. Now I feel like we've drifted apart. In fact, it feels like almost every time we talk, an argument starts. We seem to have drifted even before my birthday. He seemed to be busy, so we couldn't talk a lot. Nowadays his reactions to any good news of mine seems very mundane. Like when I told him that I finally got a girlfriend, it felt like he wasn’t really interested. I didn’t really get the “Wow!” reaction from him. Also, he couldn't give me a gift on my birthday because he couldn't prepare a drawing for me on such a short notice. So I told him to give it to me later. Well, it's been months, no gift yet.
Currently my number one priority is my girlfriend. And I'd describe my relationship with her as perfect as well. Just…she seems to be drifting away from me recently.
At one point in our relationship, I started to feel like the third while. The following doc contains images which explain why: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rSex5icu_xBRT8cmVdfS5dHkiRRCRb7lOele8dulMeE/edit?usp=drivesdk
But now I've mostly gone over it.
Tbh I've come up with an answer for a few of the issues I've noticed she does this weird thing where at times she's on discord but only focuses on specific people or servers Sometimes she ignores me but not my best friend Sometimes the opposite Sometimes she ignores both of us and talks in servers Thinking that I think I'm not heartbroken anymore because I dont feel like she's giving my best friend more time than me. (edited) Just I'm still a bit annoyed because at the end of the day, she still didn't respond to me for 3 days.
As for her acting rude and unsupportive when I brought up running away from home, she was just in a tough time. That's all.
As for her refusing to open the secret account, alright so I'll have to tell you a bit about her medical condition. Let's just say it causes her to be very forgetful of things. So she might fear that she might forget her main acc's password or smth and forever lose everything on her main. Why didn't she just tell me that? She doesnt like to worry others, so she might have thought telling me about her brain problems would cause me to worry.
As for her saying love you to my bestie but not me? Well, she said she loved my bestie only 5 days after she said she loved me so if it's not that hard. Still I want her to say words and that we get back to those days.
I sometimes just want her to say the words, “I love you” a lot. It's been half a month since we've both exchanged any loving words. One night, while trying to sleep, I was thinking about the fact that I haven’t really received any loving words in half a month and then a thought appeared in my mind. “Is a simple ‘I love you’ too much to ask for?” and that made me start crying on my bed. Probably overthinking it.
You already know how much effort I put in when she was sick. Well, one morning, I saw my DMs and saw her saying how I'm the only one who loved her. Of course, I thought it to be wrong since my best friend also loved her dearly…in a platonic sense. But well, at least it made me feel special thinking that she had a special appreciation for my effort. And then I woke up. Saw my phone. No messages like that. So I kinda started crying again.
Also, she's starting to recover from her sickness, which is great! Just…it saddens me a bit that she didn’t tell me immediately about her recovery, knowing that I'm so concerned of well-being and potential death and that some discord server was the first to know.
We used to talk a lot before these 15 days. Always talking with each other, always supporting each other, exchanging loving words to each other daily, etc. But now it seems we aren’t talking a lot and she doesn’t seem that interested. For example, when I wished her happy birthday and gave her a little drawing I made and her only response was: “Uh tnx”. And she seems to lack any form of excitement these days. In my other interactions with her as well, she seems to be giving a “I'm bored af, not excited at all” energy. I know it's almost definitely because she's going through tough times, but I can't help fearing at least a bit.
She finally responded to me today, after 4 days of not responding (Despite having a casual chat with my best friend the day before yesterday and on a server yesterday). I was afraid she would ghost me. Overreaction? Maybe. Couldn't help feeling it tho.
But I remain firm that she's the best girlfriend ever.

1. Always supports me during my hard times.
   
2. Remembers important stuff like I requested her to.
   
3. Took a lot of time and effort a painting just for me (She's an art student)
   
4. Loves me unconditionally (Made a whole paragraph saying exactly that)
   
5. Never expect anything from me. She only wants me, nothing else. (I ain't using that as an excuse not to give her more tho)
   
6. Willing to risk her own life for me (I'd do the same for her)
   

It's just that regardless….I can't help fearing that she too will one day leave me.
Update:..... See this interaction. I'll let you be the judge.
My girlfriend's brother: Hey you, its her brother again I need to tell you smth. You and her are done, yall are breaking up, dont text her again ok? U understand me Shes deleting dc now. U should delete it too
Me: No. Also can I talk to her one last time before she deletes dc?
Her brother: Ugh fine. Yeah. Fast.
Me: Where’s she?
Her: I’m here.
Me: Can I ask you one little question?
Me: Away from your brother for a second please.
Her: Okay. Make it fast tho.
Me: You said you told yourself you wanted to meet me irl and be with me forever. Does that still hold true?
Her: idk.
Me: Because if it does… just know this. If you really wanna be together, I can wait for 4 years without any contact. Then come to Croatia. I’ll be deleting this btw.
Her: K.
Me: @Her Please… just this once… tell me the truth. I know your brother is forcing you. So please just say the truth.
Her: I am telling the truth.
Me: What’s that? What’s the truth?
Her: I don’t want u anymore.
Me: Ohhhh… Not even friends?
Her: Why do you think I’m prolly deleting dc.
Me: Idk. What did I do wrong?
Her: …
Me: What did I do wrong?
Her: Nothing.
Me: Why?
Her: I don’t want to interact with anyone anymore here.
Me: Why?
Me: Why?
Her: I don’t have time to explain. Just…
Me: Just a short explanation?
Her: We’re done now.
Me: Just a short explanation?
Her: People are toxic and rude.
Me: @Her Can I come to Punat once I’m older?
Her: People are toxic and rude.
Me: But… why abandon me? Why my best friend?
Her: I don’t know, do what you want, I have my own plans.
Me: I understand people are rude and shit. But that’s why I only talk to you and my best friend. And some others. @Her Hello?
Her: That’s why I’m probably going.
Me: @Her Will I never meet you again?
Her: Idk.
Me: @Her And please do tell me if your brother is forcing you.
Her: Idk.
Me: Please. Yes or no?
Her: Idk.
Me: …Well, here’s my final saying then. I love you. And here’s a link to a document detailing all my sadness.
So in the end, I have nothing and no one left in my life anymore. And my fear of abandonment is once again validated.

Hello,
Hopefully someone can give some advice :) I'm not sure how to fix this, should I modify wp_posts sql file? What should I modify or delete? Or just make a new website from scratch?
I had this issue for a while - blank white screen when trying to create a page or post. I had an old website, made it around 2017, 2018. Just in the past year decided to update it and faced this issue. I then moved hosting as old one was hard to work with and tried again, switched php to 8.1 but nothing helped. Tried disabling all plugins, enabling default theme, still nothing. If I disable all plugins etc I still get errors, just less of them. I enabled in wp-config.php to show errors and the errors are like this (they are actually not logged in wordpress log file, just saw them after enabling to show them on screen):
Warning: Attempt to read property "post_type" on null in /home/exampleweb/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 7580
Warning: Attempt to read property "post_type" on null in /home/exampleweb/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 7581

... etc
I was browsing online and found someone said some posts in wp_posts table might have no value in phpMyAdmin:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77539115/cant-add-new-page-or-post-in-wordpress
And I have a few of those, no value in post_content. Some have no values in post_content and post_title. I downloaded wp_posts table as sql file and opened it in DBeaver. I didn't find any posts with post_type value as null (empty) as the error suggests. They all are either posts, attachments or other things. I also see quite a few posts have ID value 0 (number 0), and a veeeeery long string of characters, seems to be related to "image-sitemap-1.xml" or "sitemap.xml". Like this:

INSERT INTO `wp_example-posts` (`ID`, `post_author`, `post_date`, `post_date_gmt`, `post_content`, `post_title`, `post_excerpt`, `post_status`, `comment_status`, `ping_status`, `post_password`, `post_name`, `to_ping`, `pinged`, `post_modified`, `post_modified_gmt`, `post_content_filtered`, `post_parent`, `guid`, `menu_order`, `post_type`, `post_mime_type`, `comment_count`) VALUES (0, 0, '2023-06-11 22:24:34', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'PD94bWwgd6MjQ6MjhaP...veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery_loooooooooooooooong_liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...U6bG9jPjwvaW1hZ2U6aW1hZ2U+PC91cmw+PC91cmxzZXQ+Cg==', 'image-sitemap-1.xml', '', 'draft', 'closed', 'closed', '', '', '', '', '2023-06-11 22:24:34', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '', 0, '', 0, 'jp_img_sitemap', '', 0); 

Now I can't even open pages menu in wordpress - memory limit error, when I click on Pages in admin backend. I tried increasing to 512M but it didn't help. And the error is:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 268435464 bytes) in /home/exampleweb/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 5898
Here is log from server's log file (deleted lines that were mostly same repeating error):

Long post) I have been in an on and off relationship with a guy for almost four years. In the beginning he was so loving and attentive. He only seemed to get angry occasionally if he drank. But always apologized the next day. I noticed right off that he was incredibly paranoid. (I found out later that he cheated on me early on because he saw a scratch on my thigh and assumed it was from a guy) This pattern has escalated into him constantly thinking I cheated and him cheating on me for it. Any time I voice my hurt for his cheating he always says he wouldn’t have if I hadn’t, which I never have. He later started doing meth without my knowledge and which of course escalated the paranoia. I never left home and gave him complete control of my phone. But he was always thinking someone was sneaking in the house the second he blinked. I wasn’t allowed to have his password but he had my phone anytime he wanted and when he couldn’t find anything, I was accused of erasing things and so on. He had cheap cameras set up in the house to watch when he left and if they ever went out for a second he said I was turning them off cheating. Also note that he has five kids and I have two, that I was taking care of on my own. Me and my children ended up moving out because his explosive behavior and drug use. But being apart I still love him and have wanted a relationship with him and haven’t tried to move on. However he is never happy, every second picking at any little thing I have done to upset him. I will stay up all night talking to him and then go to work the next day on no sleep, just because I care. Yet I bring up him being physically abusive, cheating, actually sending me sex videos of him with someone else, and he completely switches it back to me and is incapable of discussing anything that hurt me. Yet he tells me I don’t care enough to talk about his issues with me!??! Everyone has basically cut him off and I’m there any time he needs anything. I’ve saved him out of some pretty hopeless situations where he would have been in a bad position if I didn’t. But he continues to tell me that he wish he knew what an awful human I was before we got together. He will block me, then come back and act like everything is ok again for awhile. He has recently been sober, which helps. But he still reverts back to being so angry and obsessing over any tiny little thing from the past or accusing me of something new. What is wrong with him??? I get the drugs messing with his head, but even without them, he plays such a victim. It’s 100% his fault that the family I was trying to hold together for him fell apart, but he’s mad at me for it and thinks he’s the victim of everything. I will mention he can be sweet and kind and had a bad childhood and is clearly in need of love, also a loving father when he is able to see his kids (he lost custody to his mother) but the way he sees me as some monster makes no sense.

Sorry for the long post everyboday. I could use some SERIOUS support. I am truly going through it right now.
We were separated for two weeks. I moved out yesterday into my new place.
Before this, during the separation, I THOUGHT my PA and I were getting somewhere. He seemed genuinely remorseful and receptive at times. For reference, he goes to 12-step meetings and sees a therapist. We have Truple and Google Family Link, he deleted social media, and I have all his passwords. However, as of a few days ago, he’s been flip flopping. Saying me having all his passwords makes him uncomfortable (when I found a slip-up). Makes his THERAPIST uncomfortable. I fought him hard as hell on that, and the next day he apologized and agreed he wants me to feel safe and like I have a sense of control. That he agrees he needs to come to me first to talk about things that would potentially make me upset if I saw.
On May 9th, when I had to pack all of my things from the house, I saw he had left out his little notebook. My CSAT, friends, and I think it was on purpose. He ripped out two pages from it, left ‘em on top, and they all said mean things, seemingly from a therapy session. Saying he wants a partner, not a parole officer. That surveillance of his accounts doesn’t help him heal and doesn’t breed trust. Calling me obsessive and vindictive. That he wants to block access because it feels counterproductive to healing. AFTER AGREEING WITH ME THAT IT WILL HELP REBUILD TRUST, AND THAT HE IS WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN MY TRUST AGAIN.
I responded to every single bullet point. Saying he’s manipulative, that LYING destroys trust, losing the access to the only source of truth is what will break trust, and that I want a partner, not a manipulative porn addict. I have pictures of it all if anyone wants to see them.
AND OH YEAH - He LITERALLY had two pages in his notebook on how to reset the parental locks on the living room Smart TV, and how to erase the cache/history on the TV. WOW. And he’s claimed he’s been sober for over a month! Adamant about it, proud of it. There’s just no way, right? Then I wrote a long note. With that “how to delete the cache” page next to it, basically saying this is why I cannot trust him. He has lied from the very beginning and I won’t let him cross my boundaries anymore. That I won’t let him view me as a parole officer and his addiction and recovery are no longer my problem. To get his shit together, he knows what to do, he knows honestly is a must, he has all the tools. I told him to fix this himself and to not contact me. To only contact me when he he legitimately is taking recovery seriously.
So here I am. In my brand new apartment. Waking up the first day. Haven’t heard a word from him. I’m almost upset he’s respecting my boundaries. And feel so pathetic that I instructed him not to contact me when really I am DYING for him to talk to me. It is so difficult not to see and talk to him. I am lonely and depressed, and he’s out doing whatever he wants and pleases. While I’m miserable.

Hello everybody, at first i wanted to formulate my anger about HP Aruba but it seems there are better ways to use this Energy.
Im new to the Aruba Stuff, Not new to Networking, we are using now Aruba for our new Network, but basically nothing works as suggested. I cant even stack switches. Using Several CX 6200 und 8200 Switches.
I cant even erase the switches with erase all zeroize because i only get an error Message „invalid input: erase“ .
Im Not new to networking but the lack of usefull documentation is annoying.
Sorry dont want to complain, is there a valid source for instruction? Because all i find are old Videos for a totally different Web GUI.
So i have to thank everybody for the help. I fixed the problem. And maybe if someone is googling it will help him as well.
The issue to be precise was Aruba Central if detecting the switches takes total control, it prevent even direct Commands on the switch itself even if connected via serial interface. This is something nobody told me, i was assuming the whole time even in case of remote managing the switches the individual switch could override the Aruba configuration because in my opinion it is more difficult to be physically on the switch entering the user and password then taking over an Aruba central account.
The next problem was stacking didn’t work because Aruba central installed already a configuration so they had to be resetted and configured offline before handed over to Aruba central.
Thanks for everybody who was helping and to the rest, this informations would be great in a manual. This what I was talking about bad usability.

Howdy Folks,
I come bearing good news!
We're excited to announce the release of a new experimental branch for Manor Lords, version 0.7.960. This experimental update brings significant gameplay changes and numerous improvements.
Important Notice: Before you switch to the new beta version of the game, it's absolutely crucial that you back up your save files. Failing to do so could result in the potential loss of your progress. The new strings are not localized yet and stability hasn't yet been thoroughly tested. Some balancing changes are still experimental.
To access your saves on Steam for Manor Lords.

1. Press Win + E
2. Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\SaveGames into the search bar.

To discuss this build, please join the official Discord server https://discord.gg/manorlords. You'll find a channel for discussing the ongoing pre_release branch.
You can read Slavic Magic's full Steam announcement here.

How to Access the Experimental Branch:

1. Open Steam
2. Right-click on Manor Lords in your library
3. Select Properties
4. Navigate to the BETAS tab
5. Enter the password: veryNiceBasket
6. Select "pre_release" from the "Beta participation" dropdown
7. Wait for the game to update (restart Steam if needed)
8. Launch the game

Major Changes:

• The King's Tax (or Annual Royal Tax)
  • This tax is collected annually from all players (main player and AI) and goes to your liege. It's counted per population and therefore should become a counterbalance for players who hoard huge wealth despite having non-optimized economies.
  • [WIP] For now, the player can go in debt without consequence, but in the future, the player will lose the king's favor and eventually, the king's army will show up as enemies for players who refuse to pay.
• Global/Local Trade Switch for Trading Posts
  • The player can now switch trade to "local only" in the trading post for each type of good if they want to use the trading post to exchange goods between their own regions but ignore the free merchants.
  • For now, 2 trading posts (both regions) are still required to make it work.
  • Employed traders will prioritize travel to the place with the best prices to commence trade, potentially including regions owned by other Lords. For now, I reduced the transport distance from the calculation to make it more predictable for the player where the traders will go (to the place with the best price).
  • Regional wealth is still required for exchanging goods between regions with a trading post since I want to keep the regions as independent economic units which in my view a more realistic simulation of economy.

Gameplay & Balance:

• [Experimental] When consuming food, people will now pick a random food resource instead of eating food in a specific order.
• [Experimental] Fertility is no longer drained after crop growth reaches 100% so that always micromanaging early harvest is no longer a preferred strategy. Yield may still increase over 100% growth if max yield is not reached.
• [Experimental] When harvesting, the crops are directly added to the field inventory instead of the villager inventory. This was done to ensure that harvesting walk times aren't the main bottleneck for farming, especially for large fields. [Side note: moving harvest season to August is also possible in a future patch if needed]
• [Experimental] Prioritized Oxen plowing over transporting resources back to the granary & warehouse to reduce the ox walking back and forth from the plowed field every time a new batch of resources is available for transport.
• Plowing shed now adds 2 livestock worker slots.
• Lowered the rate of the Baron claiming regions and adjusted it to better reflect the game settings.
• Removed the worker camp upgrade - it was meant for colony regions and will be readded when they are properly implemented.
• Food-producing residential plots no longer stock up on their produce before they share with the marketplace.
• Increased sawpit log storage space to 5.
• [Experimental] When establishing a trade route, the merchants will no longer all spawn in the nearest tradepoint. Instead, the game will distribute the merchants to circle between various tradepoints in order to make building trading posts right on the edge of the region less optimal.
• Increased warbows ranged attack from 4 to 12.
• [Experimental] "Trade logistics" development branch now lowers the cost of new trade routes by 50% instead of clamping it at 25.
• [Experimental] Cost of opening new trade routes now scales exponentially with every opened trade route.
• [Experimental] Base cost of opening a trade route was increased from 12 to 20 (that is before the good value multiplier).
• [Experimental] When market is oversupplied, the player can still export stuff, although for much lower price.
• [Experimental] The price multiplier for oversupplied goods is now 0.75x for oversupplied and 0.5x for critically oversupplied.
• [Experimental] How fast market is oversupplied no longer depends on the value of goods because it punished having high value trade routes. Now the oversupply rates are equal for all good types.
• [Experimental] Better deals development branch reduces the foreign import tariff by 50% instead of removing it completely.
• [Experimental] Reduced ale consumption by 75% (around 1/3 per family per month).
• [Experimental] Made the building placement steepness limits harsher because the trading posts and churches often looked super janky on very sharp slopes.
• Soldiers no longer trigger "unburied bodies" approval factor when corpses are in their proximity.
• [Experimental] Hitching post is free again, to reduce chances of players getting stuck with no ox, no hitching post and no ability to order an ox.

Minor Changes:

• Applied the "mindfulness" system that was initially designed for the oxen to the free merchants. This system is used to reduce clumps and traffic jams.
• Moved the location of trades further off map to make sure there is some space for all the trade wagons even if the players place the trading post right on the edge of the map.
• If a trading post is clogged, traders are allowed to make transactions without entering the shed, as long as they are within the general building bounds.
• [Experimental] Changed default AA under DX11 to TAA.
• Added a spatialization update call when recruits are sneakily teleported home when rallied to ensure collisions are properly calculated after teleportation.
• Added a check for idle villagers to avoid hanging around the graveyard for random conversation since it looked weird.
• Made "is close to camera" value update on setting follow mode to make sure the game doesn't optimize animations or sound effects thinking the character is still far from the camera.
• Disabled fire damage for people who have water buckets and are actively firefighting + reduced the fire damage amount.
• When all resource visualization slots are "filled", villagers will transport to a random one instead of the first one found. This ensures less traffic jams for instance at the churchyard if all graves are "full" already.
• Firefighting villagers will now ignore anti-clogging behavior (waiting their turn at narrow pathfinding points).
• Added a "mourning period left" UI element in the residential panel to display how many days of mourning are left until the burgage plot can bring in more family members again.
• Added mourning icon to the building floater.
• Made sure mourning period is properly added to save data.
• After continuing the game after a victory the camera should go back to the player's main region instead of levitating over the map edge.
• [Experimental] Disabled the ability to quicksave during the game over / victory cinematic.
• Disabled the ability to manual save the game after being defeated & added a tooltip explaining why saves are disabled.
• Disabled quick save and autosave if game was lost.
• When ox gathers a log, it will prioritize immediately bringing it to the sawpit before bringing it to the logging camp unless construction reserve forbids it.
• Improved marketplace logistics efficiency and optimization.
• Tuned the AI retreat distances in an attempt to reduce how often its archers get into the loop of attack-retreat.
• Added the missing trading post building thumbnail.
• Minor unit in-town pathfinding updates.
• Swapped the old UE4 destructible system for a new, UE5 friendly, chaos based debris system. For now it's just used for chopped firewood cutter logs.
• Further tweaks to properly choose the right default AA/upscaler during the first time launch correctly for specific GPUs (e.g., RTX properly defaulting to DLSS).
• Added kings tax rate multiplier to the game setup settings.
• Due to mismatch in global market supply stock values, old saves (from builds 0.7.954-0.7.956) will have their market supply reset on loading.
• [Experimental] Due to changes in how food is consumed, a popup "Food consumed" may no longer appear if a building is selected while a food is being consumed from inventory.
• [Experimental] Made the sheep flock a bit more closely together to look more like a herd.
• Steepness limits no longer apply when placing rally points.
• Players can now rally their militia on fields and pastures.
• Trading posts will now display a price range for imports in case they can buy it both from other regions AND from foreign trade sources.
• Increased the sheep & lamb collision radius.
• Capped the number of workers who supply a single market stall at the same time to 2 to reduce markets getting completely clogged with the new upped market supply frequency.
• Further optimized the market supply functions to make late game towns run smoother.
• Optimized the function that searches for a friend to do idle tasks with (like conversations).
• Optimized the door opening animations.
• Increased the precision when checking whether a character is inside a building on fire and should take damage.
• Unified the currency icon in the mercenary company panel to make it clearer that you're paying with treasury and not regional wealth.
• Added accommodation call after fire is started and turns people homeless so that they can be reaccommodated to other available burgage plots immediately.
• Since almost all families have more than 1 family member, I made the "workplace/reassign" buttons aligned vertically instead of horizontally in the family list.
• Fixed old fonts being used in the family entry widgets.

Crashfixes:

• Fixed a crash when doing a sequence of livestock import, export and import, because "home" wasn't cleared properly during export and the same animal was reimported.
• Fixed a rare crash if a handcart fails to spawn, probably if the trading post was built so that part of it crosses the map edge.
• Fixed crash on startup if OpenXr sdk is installed.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed victory status not resetting after starting a new game, leading to a game over screen not appearing if the player lost/won multiple games without turning the game off.
• Fixed crop transports not accounting for the farm work area.
• Fixed crops dying in the winter instead of actually increasing yield by absorbing nutrients from the snow as it was intended for winter crops.
• Fixed oxen sometimes "ghost plowing" a field when they are waiting on their guide.
• Fixed plow and ox sometimes misaligning on 12x game speed.
• Fixed farm workers not accounting for oxen plowing the farms in some situations, leading to a lot of unnecessary collisions on the field.
• Fixed crop rotation unplowing the fields.
• Fixed disbanded mercenary group becoming immediately available again after save/load cycle.
• Fixed the trading post export transactions not moving regional wealth between the regions correctly if owned by the same lord.
• Fixed paused taverns fulfilling the entertainment requirement.
• Fixed an attempt for never-ending fires if a fire was triggered after the building was already on fire.
• Fixed problem banners not erasing after an entity gets erased (for instance, an animal runs away and leaves a "not enough pasture space" banner).
• Fixed "update task" sometimes triggering before a character gets assigned their region.
• Fixed livestock sometimes being unaccommodated after order even though there is stable or pasture space due to being transferred to the region twice (once when buying and once when livestock merchant brings it to the building).
• Fixed livestock traders trading between on-map regions possibly sometimes paying twice because the ownership changing function was called both on pickup of livestock and on dropoff.
• Fixed the game getting stuck on the game summary screen infinitely after winning or losing the game.
• Fixed "none" people populating the town after a raid sometimes who just stand around waiting forever and possibly crash the game while reloading.
• Fixed the blurry desktop icon.
• Fixed the save/load menu header not translating after changing the language.
• Fixed dead animals triggering the mourning period in burgage plots, halting growth.
• Fixed mourning period halting homeless accommodation.
• Fixed migration/growth of family members ignoring the 30-day mourning period sometimes.
• Fixed the game getting stuck after you click "continue in sandbox" until any main tab is pressed.
• Fixed the front lighting not being visible in the retinue editor if bounced light approximation is turned to low or off.
• Fixed floating feedback text spawning during the cinematic mode.
• Fixed autosave triggering during the cinematic mode.
• Fixed "storage full" triggering for wrong buildings sometimes (for example, sawpit having 1/1 logs).
• Fixed attempt for oxen bringing too many logs to the sawpit and crossing the storage limit.
• Fixed free merchants sometimes getting stuck if a trading post was built so close to the edge that a portion of it was outside of any region bounds.
• Fixed horse wagon rotations getting a bit too wonky on slopes.
• Fixed a bug where a unit could no longer move due to being forever stuck in "waiting for pathfinding to finish" if another unit with a lower squadID got completely destroyed.
• Fixed the wrong yarn basket carrying animation.
• Fixed traders not importing from on-map regions even though the price is better than buying from tradepoints.
• Fixed farm workers & farm oxen stealing planks from fields which are getting "fenced up".
• Fixed "homeless" problem banner not disappearing after upgrading homeless camp to a worker camp.
• Fixed animals not getting removed from stable space / pasture space after death.
• Fixed animal corpses not disappearing over time.
• Added a dirty fix for families moving into homes but not registering correctly and not displaying in the UI, leading to a "secret" family living in one of the burgage plots. The reason is still unknown and being investigated.

Cosmetics:

• Added a new patron saint banner graphics: St Maurice.
• Added a carried dead body visualization.
• Made debris piles align to ground slope.
• Fixed the throw torch animation ending abruptly.
• New upgraded retinue helmet variation: Pointy bascinet.
• Fixed the armor clipping through the leg of the upgraded retinue puffy sleeve jupon body variation.
• New upgraded retinue body variation: Coat of plates.
• New upgraded retinue helmet variation: Hounskull bascinet with a gilded cover.
• Increased location precision for animals standing in the stables.
• Fixed the praying animation.
• Fixed the wrong door orientation for LV2 cottage variation B (with a planked gable).
• Adjusted the two-handed weapon default idle pose to have a more natural stance.
• New militia helmet variation - banded bascinet with a mail aventail.
• Fixed some mail armor variants clipping with helmets on T3 militia units (militia mail will get their own unique variations soon).
• Reworked lv2 granary model with proper animated doors.
