Audacity recording revived on Windows10.
(Installed on 2020/01/08, No.218)
Redording of FM-tuner output became impossible after I upgraded Windows7 in ICONIATAB-W500 to Windows10. However, it revived by a fluke after my two and a half days toil. The audio device is an old SE-U55SX by ONKYO, which I had used since my pc's were working on WindowsXP.
The photo shows Audacty is working pushing green level meters. The window tells the audio API is 'Windows WASAPI', the recording device 'line(SE-U55SX)', the playback device 'speaker(SE-U55SX)'. I had tried the combination many times in vain before it revived.
The recording revived unexpectedly when I was about to give up. I connected for trial an old usb dac(SOUND BLASTER Digital Music Premium HD) which I had forgotten being broken. When it was connected the usb ports on ICONIATAB-W500 stopped working and so did SE-U55SX. I took off dacs and rebooted the pc. When it came up the recording function was beeing revived. It's typical Windows behavior. Lucky I was!
While trying various solutions I could learn some new things about Windows such as functions of audio engine, a weak point about Media Player 12, an exclusive mode of WASAPI, etc. So, I installed Foobar2000 with which to replace Media Player. The two and a half days toil wasn't a fruitless.
Upgrading WindowsXP to Windows10 with Aspire one D250.
(Installed on 2020/01/03, No.218)
I upgraded my ten-year old laptop(Aspire one D250/Acer) OS from WindowsXP to Windows10. I failed three times but made it at the 4th trial by following the next steps.
1 Upgraded WindowsXP to Windows7.
2 Copied system disk onto a new SSD.
3 Exchanged the old SSD for the new one.
4 Upgraded Windows7 to Windows10 by using 'MediaCreationTool', which you can download from Microsoft.
I, a pensioner, can never afford to buy a new pc. Aspire one with Windows10 is sticky in response but it revived as an usuful deta input tool for me.
Fixing futon dryer timer switch.

I wanted to replace our old futon dryer with the one in the photo but the timer switch didn't work. It had been left unused many years. You could use it with a timer controlled extended outlet but, as usual, I tried fixing it and luckily, it revived. The details of fixing are here.

Tomohiro's college classmates came to visit his grave on Dec.31st. It's one of the busiest days in a year in Japan but they organized the visit as it was the only possible day among those when one of them with his wife temporarily staying home coming back from Germany. There was another man we met for the first time. He lives in Tokyo and had missed chances before.
We had a good time in front of the the family altar.
