Dave, that would be coincidence. But often it is related to an April Fool's joke and *that* failed this year. I had one in mind, but Mani destroyed it (he does not even know he did).

Hey Roch, what are you doing in here man ?!
Anyway, great first post !

Expect an email from me, asking for the exact tree etc.

Kind regards,
Peter

Wow Dave, you are too kind !
Anyway, such posts drive me.

So there's more to come eh. Well, I hope you refer to your pending G3 upgrade because otherwise I must quickly make up something. Haha.
Oh wait, 2.08 is almost ready.

Thanks,
Peter

Gerard, I saw that one coming ...

I has a longer story already, but I just scratched that and say No for now ...

Peter

Nice attempt, Bert.

Really funny how the both of you are able to use normal sharpening means (of various kinds and undoubtedly 10 times more than the one attempt shown of each) to express your perception of what you hear. Something fresh and new. The great thing seems to be that it allows communication over the subject, which is audio.

What's presented tells :
a. That you can not be right both at the same time;
b. (or) That there's subjectiveness in order;
c. That I don't agree with both of you (am I also subjective ? ).

I think the main problem with expressing like this and with the Lush as the subject, is that it is mainly about a shift in balance. This is not really about something gets worse but another thing gets better ... it is merely about a better balance and how to express that (by this visual and in the and manipulative means).
A too young girl for us comes to mind. Make her older and she gets better in balance with our desires.
(yeah yeah, I know ...)
Now find some morphing software.

Anyway, very very interesting.
Peter

Juan - Very coincidental :

In a far past we bought 100s of those Neutrik USB terminals. Three weeks ago they were about all gone, and because each G3 upgrade requires one extra, I again bought a new batch. So, ... 6 years later from this first batch. And what happens ?

I was just lterally told :
"Oh, btw, those new terminals are much tighter ! it really takes a firm push and pull to get the cable in and out !".

And so I am writing you this 3 minutes after that fact.
Because everybody may like this for the better, I need to say that for 14 euros the two connectors can be replaced. So in case you/people don't know, the one in there for the Display which never really got to work, is also used with the G3 upgrade. Plus a new one which is already in the price (so 3 in total).

Btw, funny again : the whole subject came to the table because by now my own input has worn out (my own NOS1a/G3 to test all the Lush cables).

Regards,
Peter

Hahaha. I understand the intentions but it doesn't work out really. This is probably because the Lush miss is mangled with while only the colour of light should have changed. And then the exact other way around.
So miss Lush is looking cold now.

But really funny !

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Juan,

For USB I understand what you mean. But this is just Neutrik and although fakes exist, I wouldn't even know of such a same inlet.
But funny : what Intona uses for the B inlet I can't even find anywhere. This is for PCB soldering, but still. To me it looks like this is old stuff or something, from the time USB power ports emerged, and they were red. But the phenomenon does not exist any more.

For the power inlet replacement is virtually impossible because it has to match the hole (size) for it. On the other hand, for the power inlet I don't recognize the problem as such. This can easily be the cord you use, of course.

On a last note, you wouldn't be the first who "wears" the connector by means of a too large connector. So especially for USB this happens (I recall that such a cable which was send around (VJ) had the problem of a too large USB-B connector - but not sure it was exactly that cable. So you will be able to put it in, but now the connector grew a little and the normal cable is too loose.

Best regards,
Peter

Not necessarily. But it would be more clear to yourself what you are doing, and it will be less dependent on the OS herself which will change it again. So I better admit the Yes.

Peter

I wonder what happens when you copy such a file to another PC and look at the contents from there.
I feel that it can be some kind of authorization issue, related to that password question you received.

Brian,

The phenomenon "virus" slipped through my mind several times, as nobody is really going to blank the contents of such files. But viruses also noy really, I'd say. Anyway when I mentioned "deliberately blanked" I referred to no normal computer process would do such a thing at any time - and then referring to the "blank" nog being a computer thing at all. So maybe nulls or any other random character (like _ or whatever) but a space is too coincidental.
The strange thing is too that all the file types involved are uncommon file type (I made them all up myself). So why exactly these ?? It is also not that the files of concern are subject to some regular XXHighEnd process. They are just never touched unless you (as the user) address them.

The only thing "plausibe" I see is that something did something with a specific code page. I mean, text as such would be obtained in there under a certain "code" which causes it to be readable for you. For example, would it be chinese in there, the code(page) would be a different one because the characters are different.
But what would do such a thing. W10 failure ?

Edit : I did not tell it so explicitly, but I could see that all the "positions" as such where still in there. It is only that the normal characeters turned into spaces. You can just text search (via Notepad) for the spaces. If you Select All you will see the lines in there.

Regards,
Peter

OK Brian, I could look into it via Teamviewer after all.
Ehhh

This could be the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my IT life. All what's in all those files in that folder, turned into spaces. So I think you said they were not empty - and I don't know how you observed that, but for size you are correct. For contents - spaces in everything.
Now if you know that a space as such is nothing special in computerland (it is just an ascii value of 032 IIRC), then it looks like something deliberately blanked it. But it is ONLY about files with text in them. So FYI not only your PLXX files but also the LBRY files (and IIRC another file type). But e.g. not .XXSS because there's not huban readable text in there. Eh ... "because" ??? Well, yes, that is what it looks like.

The source is already on the native drive (D: when you booted into one of the BASE OSes, like at this moment in 10586.0). On a side note if helpful at all - I checked all OSes and only 14393.0 contains a few playlists, but maybe better a few (it's a dozen or so) than losing them all. Because I think that will be the case : you lost all those files.

What I would do and which could very far away help :
Boot into the TRIAL OS (set date to Sept. 2 2015 first) and when in there go to a Command Prompt (cmd) and type :
chkdsk c:/f:
It will ask you to reboot and before the boot completes the c: drive will be checked agains errors. When this finishes (may take a while like 30 minutes) you can boot into 10586.0 again and see whethere the files now contain data. Just rightclick-open or edit from Explorer to see it. Data is there again ? then you're good. Not ? then it is lost unless you made a backup somehow. And, a backup of the .vhd file would do it. So if you meant in the earlier post to restore such a backup (file), then yes. If you meant to restore from the original copy I provided, then it won't help (that wil lnot contain any of your data).

Let me know whether the chkdsk helped.

Lastly, I left the system with 14393.0 attached and you will see on-screen the XXData contents in an OK fashion for all there is. You may copy that XXData folder as a whole to a USB stick, and restore it later after the intended trials and if they don't help.
If you want to leave this screen (or reboot) click e.g. the c: drive first, so this (x:) will close.

Peter

I just did and ... too late. Of course I only now realize that you wanted to do this prior to your daily work.
I'll have a better focus tomorrow.

Peter
