The asinine route I took was to authorise Google to deliver the file(s) to my OneDrive and then use one drive sync to download them.

There are benefits, the files are ‘backed up’ on another cloud; the process it entirely independent of you having a browser session.

Shame. They miss-spelled “should”.

Have you heard? People have told me, good people. MEXICANS are taking our babies now. All of them! FOR FREE!

The idiot, tomorrow, probably.

You are correct

I meant it doesn’t need to be perfect. It only needs to just barely as good as the people it replaces and appear cheaper on a balance sheet/cash flow statement for the quarter. Otherwise every service company wouldn’t be buying crap ‘AI’ chat bots for all customer facing duties.

Alternatively, self driving vehicles are probably already better than the bottom 50% of drivers in 50% of situations. I.e. driving on a road. We still want flawed human oversight of that.

Well, the employees it’s replacing are not perfect…

It just needs to be cheaper.

Well, 365 * 10 certainly doesn’t ;-)

I use several dirt cheap ($20) tp-link branded 1Gig cards, they probably just have a crappy realtek chip.

Absolutely no issues.

But, again, is just a simple home network.

UK stretching its ol’ colonial muscles again.

They know it, but refuse to belive it, because they’ve built an empire on a faulty premise and can’t conceive that they may be wrong.

Source: two decades in the industry. But I got better out.

It’s always the last CEO’S fault.

Do more with less.

In good times and bad.

That’s an improvement.

It’s called X now.

Try it! You can always go back.

If you can find another HDD or SSD then you can keep your windows drive full of games intact.

I dual booted for years (for gaming) and as of now haven’t used a non-linux PC for more than a decade at home or professionally.

I recommend starting with either Fedora or Ubuntu as they’re among the most popular and have a large community for support.

Set yourself a goal on Linux, even if it’s just “check my email” or whatever. Rinse, repeat.

And squander an opportunity for belligerent snark?

clutches pearls

That’s what I was alluding to.

The advent of streaming services replaced my home media.

The enshittification of said streaming services have caused me to bring back my home media

Netflix ended my home media server. Well, Netflix was good enough that when sonebody broke my home media server I didn’t bother fixing it.

Netflix and Prime and Disney and N local services brought back my home media server.

F12 should open the browser developer tools, one panel will be the network requests.

It could be the accepts header then… check if the request includes accetps: application/json
