Most of the comics I bought this year

Collection / Shelfie / Haul

I took a look at this year's purchases! I haven't read most of them yet because I read Japanese very slowly (and some books were bought very recently). Can you guess which two books contain Linnea Sterte art?

I've always had one specific mp3 as my ringtone. One day, my phone went back to the default ringtone, and I'm unable to select my mp3 again – it's just gone from the long list of mp3s I can see in Settings > Ringtone > Custom: On this device.

How can I get it back as my ringtone?

The mp3 is on my phone and I can find and play it using other apps. I've tried renaming it and moving it into other folders, including Ringtones, but nothing seems to help. How can I get Settings to realize that the mp3 exists? For instance, is there anything I can do to make Android re-index music files? I've seen recommendations to clear data from Media Storage, but that option is greyed out for me.

If you want more background, here's my previous post. tl;dr: I was advised to buy a 1200W PSU as I'm planning to upgrade to a future high-end graphics card. I've narrowed it down to three options:

1: Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 1200W ($240 where I live)

I like that it's quiet. It has a lot of positive reviews from non-professionals, and Tweaktown gave it 93%. But it has a short warrantly, and there are Tom's Hardware reviews of the 550W and 650W versions both mention that the protection features are not configured correctly ("The OCP triggering points are way higher than the nominal val

Background:

I'm building a computer for VR gaming, programming, 3D modeling, drawing, video editing, and generally supporting an unhealthy lifestyle of having 1000 web browser tabs open. I'll upgrade the GPU as soon as a new VR headset comes out that I like, but otherwise I plan on using this computer for 5-6 years, so I want something reasonably future-proof, and I have some money to spare. I live in Sweden.

Components:

  • Intel Core i9 13900K (I considered the 13700K, but the price difference isn't huge, and I expect that over time, more programs will be able to use the extra cores well).

  • An Asus RTX3080 from my current computer.

  • Asus ROG Strix Gold 1000W (overk

The contents are listed as:

Material from Warrior (1982) 1-18, 20-21
Miracleman (1985) 1, 3, 6-16
Marvelman Special (1984) 1
Material from A1 (1989) 1
All-New Miracleman Annual (2014) 1

I'm a bit confused by this. I thought the comic was originally published in Warrior, then republished as Miracleman. What does it mean that the omnibus contains both? And what happened to Miracleman #2 and #4-5?

I'm reading a children's book where one chapter is about the painter Sesshuu. I feel like I know all the words in the following two sentences, but I still can't piece together what it means:

Nihonjin no watashide nakereba kakenai, nihonjin ga kokorokara yoito omou suibokuga o kakanakereba. Shikashi, sore wa douiu mono nanoka....

(I'm guessing the second sentence means "However, I wonder what kind of thing that would be?", but I'm less sure about the first.)

Does anyone know of a Spanish-English dictionary/translation app that lets you export word lists as text files and that works on Android 11?

I used to look up Spanish words on my phone using a specific dictionary app, mark useful words as favorites, and then export the favorites list to a text file, which made it possible for me to import the words and translations into the spaced repetition program Anki.

Recently, I got a new phone; apparently, Android 11 is stricter regarding app permissions, and doesn't let my dictionary app export the word list to a file. I've tried downloading over ten other Spanish-English dictionary apps to try to find one that would let me export a word list (i

I have a Kindle Oasis, the 2019 model. Often, when I long press a word to read the dictionary definition, I get a page flip instead. A reboot fixes that problem for a while, but then it reappears. Rebooting takes a minute or two, so I'd rather not have to do that. Is this a known problem? Do any firmware or other updates fix it?

I've played through the game twice now. The first time I don't recall any bugs. The second time, the following happened:

  • In an early chapter you fight some soldiers, disable a force field, then stop a train. While fighting the soldiers I suddenly floated through (or around?) the force field, ending up about 20 meters from where I started, so I never had to disable it.
  • Much later, during the antlion fight in the trainyard, I suddenly started floating backwards until I was outside the environment model, standing in nothingness a couple of hundred meters from where I started, with no way to get back. This happened twice.
  • Then a similar thing happened to me twice, when walking i
