I have OneDrive sync both ways. Odds my machine is fried at the same time M$ decides they hate me is a risk I'll take.

I'm 55, but believe than before I am gone, the following will be true: Daily flights from earth to nearby planets. 99 percent of all diseases cured (other than hourly Covid variants). Universal Income for nearly all. Limitless energy.

I was in that Token-Ring world back then, and the terminator clip at the end of the chain was the bane of my existence. Our System 6 and 7 machines had to talk to everything, VAX and PDP and DOS and anything else that communicated over seri

I'm pretty sure this is better addressed with SQL.

The oldest of actors and actresses don't seem to be out there, in the public eye 24-7, as the younger set does. It's going to be very, very hard to have another Cruise, or Costner, or Johnson, etc., with the baggage literally ever

The "modern" DB world reminds me of dentistry. Zero reason a database can't be plug and play right now. Dentistry wants to remain in the dark ages, and so does the database world. The rest of us just want something like the e

I am VERY close to this situation, I'm married to a California teacher. Most of the kids hate this idea. 1. They know they and everyone else will just stay up later. 2. School will go on too late in the day, sports participation is dro

I eat as much like it's 1930 as possible, but have no issue with garlic in a jar, as right now it's a 'thing' and quite versatile. This, too, will pass though and I'll be back to real garlic soon enough.

Very soon we'll have Congressional hearings after oil companies see profits climb 7000 percent over last year, and they'll look sad and do nothing. I expect much the same from health insurance companies.

Screenshots are boring any more, what with this All Things Git. I'll be happy the day we collectively recall there has been TTY for a long time without it.

I recall when wifi was first a thing, TV news people would drive around with "hackers" who would "war drive" and find networks, and egads! Connect! Nothing is safe online! Now this.

I could never get my head around Briefcase, with floppies, ZIP drives, USB drives, FTP sites, .zip files through email. And today I can't live without OneDrive. It's on all my computers, phones, tablets.
