First world problem. Phone is out of storage, and trying to put photos onto laptop to put onto external hard drive (laptop only has one USB-A port). It's making the laptop very slow, so can't do much else on it for the next eleven hours apparently, or unplug my phone. First it said an hour and twenty, now it says 11 hours.
My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try 'New Outlook' instead of the default Mail app. I'd do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email accounts for my small biz and I can't risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts
I’m a dumbass sometimes. Returned and exchanged an item where I thought something was missing and it turns out the piece is embedded into the lid.
🤦♂️
A restful evening after work it was not :(
I wonder if it’s going to be a bad idea to drink a coffee right now.
🤔
Just playing some vintage LPs I got last week, one is an album of movie music by Alfred Newman ( Randy Newman's father ) and bless me but the album starts with the fanfare of 20th Century Fox, it appears Newman wrote it!! I was not expecting to hear that .
The album also has a booklet with "movie stills", I like the one of swashbuckling pirate Tyrone Power. 😹
They had a replay of the world cup final, but with men's teams (it was only the Euros). England lost to Spain again and I am very happy!
