When Backups Become A Pain In The Nuts


OH I done gots me 2 external droves for backup and a cloud type service... Anyway The screen shot is me backing up to the portable Seagate and there are no issues at all. The western digital that is plugged in all the time on the other hand - well... It's a piss off most of the time. See I will get in about 400 or 500 files and LOCK... For some reason the latest and greatest incarnation of Windows 10 Home hates the freaking thing. It will lock up windows explorer every freaking time. And I keep forgetting it will do it. The thing to do is to copy a few folders then close the window and reopen it and it will be fine. BUT I keep thinking it's like a normal functioning thing and I toss too many files and LOCK. Now the strange thing is it keeps copying the files until the que is empty, but explorer will be done for. Kind of wish there was a work around for this. It never did it before the last big update to the latest version of Windows 10. As well on a friend with literally the same computer and drive as me - he has no problems. So I got not one clue. It's also all backed up to the cloud. You know just in case my building explodes some day and I am not in it when it happens - then I won't lose my data...

      One drive will let you toss 10 GB files on there - so No I haven't :)

    Have you encrypted any part of the files you are trying to back up? Look at the properties of the files and the folder they are in and "unblock" anything in there. I never use Microsoft's Backup because with all the images I need to archive, it finds copies upon copies from everywhere and I end up with huge amounts of unennecessary files that take up space and tax the drive. One drive is a Seagate and the other Western Digital. I have two small pocket sized multiple Terabyte drives to which I back up things manually and in addition I use Windows to make a System Image. None of this completely safe but at least no one can say I was lacking for backing up.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
