what are you doing right now? (cont'd)

[TronRP]

Currently trying to get ready to chauffeur to Royal Oak.

I've had so much going on this week, it's been non-stop on the go. 

[TronRP]

Back in from the last appointment run of this week.

[Scary Guy]

Deleting Discord because I no longer trust it, and I never trusted Tencent or China.

[TronRP]

Giving in to the fees.

[oXMiahGraceXo]

I really do need to video edit and tidy and DO THINGS that are practical today. But I just want to sit here and pet the cat. 

[TronRP]

Wrapping up bill pays.

[TronRP]

Some kind of way, I passed out before I finished my wrap up...so now I am back to wrapping up bill pays. 

[TronRP]

Getting prepared in case we lose power due to the high winds in our area.

Back to manually downloading photos again.

 

I upgraded my Google Photos to Google One last night with a 100 GB storage capacity.  What I didn't realize was that once the storage download started, it would then go back into all of the "high quality free storage" items and convert them to original quality images and add them to the new paid storage capacity. 

 

Due to the software block Android placed on the ability to download directly to a computer, I had 2 years of photos stuck on my phone until I finally let Google Photos back them up for free.  That ended June 1, 2021.  After that Google Photos added a free 15 GB storage which did not count any data stored prior to the deadline date.

 

I upgraded my storage, thinking that I was converting the 15 GB storage into a 100 GB storage to download the overage which would have left me multiple Gigs of buffer room to store images and/or download as I deemed necessary.  However, halfway through backing up the extra photos, it stopped, went back and began converting and adding the 2 years of "free" storage to the 100 GB paid storage.

 

At this rate, I will be right back where I started from before I got the extra storage upgrade which will include that constant notification telling me that I'm out of storage and to upgrade or I will no longer be able to send/receive emails, save contacts, etc.

 

Oh well.

😌

I personally use a portable Western Digital 2 TB drive for my photos.  It's like a supersized flash drive, but can hold way more.  I use Solid State Drives for internal storage.

 

Just thought I'd share.

I do the majority of my computer parts shopping at Micro Center.

When I do online parts orders, I use TigerDirect.com.

I forgot that I'm back up north in the land of the micro center! I missed them!

[TronRP]

Getting back in from another HomeHouse cleaning run.  I declare that boy has allowed his brain to turn into marshmallows and then blames everything else because he didn't take care of it. 

😆

[TronRP]

Been inputting tax information for the past 3 hours and 35 minutes.  I know this because TurboTax actually put a "RaceMode" banner at the top of the page.

[TronRP]

Got back in about an hour ago and I have been working on internet connectivity issues for the past half hour.  The gateway is running wonky and the POD is just not recognized.  I am actually doing an entire system restart. 

 

Fortunately, my phone can be used as a Hot Spot, so I am still able to be online right now. 

[TronRP]

Taking a brain break with some Duolingo.

[TronRP]

Just getting back in from today's appointment and responsibilities and now getting ready to handle wrapping up today's attendance and lessons.

[TronRP]

Just got back in about 30 minutes ago and scarfing on my "lunch" that has now become dinner.

[TronRP]

Getting back in and typing this.

Falling down the Rabbit Hole of music while in search of a song....

Taking a break from maintenance work to get some food.
