SMOKE AND THE SUN

 Smoke in the sky from the fires in B.C. Canada makes the sun look a bit impressive. No filters, just the raw photos.

A Puzzle and an Old Photo

Image
308 pieces and 34 minutes. About average for me. This was a fun one to do. I see in the same folder there is a couple other puzzles with boats. I like boats, but have rarely been on one.  A photo from a building that had been renovated quite a lot since this photo was taken. I was amazed how much money they put into it, but was told there was a change in the bylaw to make it imposable to tare it down and build a new one.

HOW TO MAKE ONEDRIVE MEMORIES FROM THIS DAY GO AWAY

Image
Memories from this day is yet another super annoying thing from OneDrive. Remember it making hundreds of albums you did not ask it to do or wanted? Well this is like that - yet another feature almost no one will want. Go to your phones settings, then apps then click OneDrive. Last, click "Memories from this day" to turn it the hell off and make it leave you alone. Honest to GOD if this pile of storage space did not come with my Office 365 subscription I'd uninstall OneDrive and never use the dang thing. But since I want the storage space - I use it. BTW I'd kind of LOVE it to have a dark theme, but then again I been wanting that on Facebook for Android for a very long time.

In Facebook Jail Again

Image
I should not have to say this, but there are people eating livestock deworming drugs, so here it goes. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, THIS IS SATIRICAL COMEDY, DON'T TAKE A COMEDIC POST AS MEDICAL ADVICE. There, did I make it clear enough? Anyway. Facebook tossed me in jail for 3 days for posting the thing you see below. You know, after a year and a half of letting people post the same stupidity as real. I appealed and lost almost instantly. I have no doubt in my mind that it was NOT looked at by a human. A moderator would not have gotten to it in literally 10 seconds, so this is doubly bullshit. Anyway, here is my strike and the offending post.

Tried McAfee Internet Security With Shaw Cable

Image
First off, do you like my graphic? I spent 5 minutes on it. I recently got the Shaw Cable internet add-on "McAfee Internet Security". It's $6 a month and for what you get, it's a great deal. However, McAfee sucked a great deal of resourced. I had it on an older PC and got rid of it quickly for that reason. I thought this PC would be fast enough at 3.4GHZ, but I guess not. I also only have 8GB of ram and the video memory takes some of that as it's an onboard card. I ran it for a couple of days and man did it bog down my system, to an almost unusable degree. Not only did it dramatically hog resources, but it increased the boot time noticeably. It's a great tool if you have the resources to run it, but my PC is older and lacking in memory, so I guess I'm going to have to pass on this. By the way, you get up to ten devices on the software and the modem has more protection as well. It works on Windows, iOS and Android devices. My phone and tablet had no problem

So Much For My Online Vaccine Passport

Image
First thing I noticed is I had to wait to log on. Was only 3 minutes but was seriously not expecting that to happen. The second thing is they only recorded my first dose, not my second one. After talking in a local group on FB, it seems a lot of people have this issue. After seeing posts on Reddit, I realize it's a heck of a problem all over Saskatchewan. As you see my card they gave me (redacted) has both on it. So I had to take a photo of the card and fill out a form and send it into Sask-Health. I find it interesting that my two friends refuse to make an online account to get the QR code. They are willing to pay $20 to get one mailed to them. The thing is, they don't know if their account is messed up like a lot of people and they will be denied entry to places because of it. They say to keep the card just in case to show people. Might get it laminated. Online it shows only the first. The card they originally gave me.
