First of all, be sure to install c++ compilers 2017 from visual studio, they aren’t automatically selected during the install

If Visual Studio Compilers C++ 2017 aren’t detected you need to add an entry to the registry.

As an admin, edit registry entry:

Add a new “string value” called “15.0” and add a path to the following folder containing visual studio

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\

Start matlab and check that the compiler is found

I recently bought a WII from a garage sale for cheap and wanted to hack it and backup the games I bought to speed up the load time. Below are the steps I followed and useful links i used to set everything up!! Wii should be in 4.3U system version

I bought a broken Wii from a garage sale for cheap, included everything and 4 controllers, score! I decided to try and fix it and maybe play it in the future. I really like mario kart 64 and I hear the Wii version is very similar 🙂

I got a call form an unrecognized number, so I let it go to voicemail. I later tried to delete the message but the voicemail kept calling the scammer/robocall/ads phone number as opposed to accessing my voicemail. I kept getting a answering machine with a prompt to “connect with local singles”. As much as I am interested in connecting with local singles, I am more interested in deleting this message and access my voicemail.

Tasker is an awesome app for android devices… if you know how to use it… otherwise it’s a nightmare!! Here is a list of Tasker settings and profiles I find most useful.

Enable Auto-Rotate Display on Certain Apps

• Create new profile, select application then choose your desired app.
• Create a New task and tap the “+” icon. Select “Display” then set “Display Autorotate” to ON.

Every once in a while Spotify glitches out and it won’t play any song and I need to restart it which involved right clicking on the icon and force quitting/quitting. I figured there had to be an easier way. Lo and behold I found macOS services and shortcuts! Kinda tricky to use and a bit glitchy (see below as to why my shortcut wouldn’t work)

I ran into this issue while booting up my server. Luckily it was easy to fix after doing a bit of research 🙂

Problem: kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)

Solution: remove old linux kernels, your /boot drive is out of space

• boot to grub and click on “Advanced options”
• Select a previous kernel (should boot fine)
• login and enter command
  • $ df
• See if your /boot directory is 100% used
• Remove old linux kernels
  • $ sudo apt-get autoremove

Being in Wisconsin, mosquitos a merciless, they will suck all your blood. I bought a Flowtron mosquito repellent lamp off Amazon BK-15D 1/2 acre coverage, unfortunately we used it twice and it stopped working. Bought new bulbs and soon realized that it was the starter. I looked all over the internet and realized that the company was the only one who sold those types of starters anymore. They also weren’t returning my calls to get a new starter bulb or light bulb to see what the problem was.

Doing a bit of research I realized that I could upgrade the starter to use newer fluorescent starters, it would save money and hassle in the future, and hopefully last much longer.
