5 Personal Tech Updates in One

Got the backups on my portable drive done. Everything sorted and in it's place. The only thing left to toss on there will be the puzzle backups. I zip them and if something happens, I will only loose a few of the ones I played this way, and can just toss them on again later.
It's just so much more enjoyable to not have clothing on if you ask me. Listening to music while making jigsaw puzzles is a joy. I've got a lot of unplayed puzzles right now and still want to make some more of them.
I ripped some movies off of DVD's I own and I am going to watch them. They are all B-Rate monster movies and some of them don't play well in modern times as they are to say the least kind of racist - but they are from the 1930's so I can't expect much. My Blu-ray player Needs a cleaning and I'm out of fluid to put on the cleaning disk. It skips and stalls - It's not very old, so I am sure it's just dirty - it's seriously dusty in here. I am also not going to watch them on the PC - I can't sit here in this chair that long.
I played with Bings AI and tried to get it to make a funny picture, but nope, someone might be upset, so I can't have it. I also can't have "devil children" evidently. A friend was not able to get "killer cat". There seems to be a hell of a lot more limitations on this AI that on Deep Dream Generator.
What can I say. It keeps telling me that the real-time scanning is turned off and that the Auto sample submission is off. They are NEVER off and this is some kind of bug that is annoying the hell out of me. I like this extra layer of security (Microsoft Defender - comes with office subscription) but it does have this bug and it makes me wonder what else is not quite working. I have it on the phone and tablet as well, and it does the same thing at random on all devices. The annoying this is, you get the notification on all 3 devices and it freaking emails it to your Outlook account.

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.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
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...
