Back to manually downloading photos again.

 

I upgraded my Google Photos to Google One last night with a 100 GB storage capacity.  What I didn't realize was that once the storage download started, it would then go back into all of the "high quality free storage" items and convert them to original quality images and add them to the new paid storage capacity. 

 

Due to the software block Android placed on the ability to download directly to a computer, I had 2 years of photos stuck on my phone until I finally let Google Photos back them up for free.  That ended June 1, 2021.  After that Google Photos added a free 15 GB storage which did not count any data stored prior to the deadline date.

 

I upgraded my storage, thinking that I was converting the 15 GB storage into a 100 GB storage to download the overage which would have left me multiple Gigs of buffer room to store images and/or download as I deemed necessary.  However, halfway through backing up the extra photos, it stopped, went back and began converting and adding the 2 years of "free" storage to the 100 GB paid storage.

 

At this rate, I will be right back where I started from before I got the extra storage upgrade which will include that constant notification telling me that I'm out of storage and to upgrade or I will no longer be able to send/receive emails, save contacts, etc.

 

Oh well.

I personally use a portable Western Digital 2 TB drive for my photos.  It's like a supersized flash drive, but can hold way more.  I use Solid State Drives for internal storage.

 

Just thought I'd share.

I do the majority of my computer parts shopping at Micro Center.

When I do online parts orders, I use TigerDirect.com.

Getting back in from another HomeHouse cleaning run.  I declare that boy has allowed his brain to turn into marshmallows and then blames everything else because he didn't take care of it.

Got back in about an hour ago and I have been working on internet connectivity issues for the past half hour.  The gateway is running wonky and the POD is just not recognized.  I am actually doing an entire system restart. 

 

Fortunately, my phone can be used as a Hot Spot, so I am still able to be online right now.

    • Feeling happy to report that my neighbor and her cat are now back together.  I build her fur baby an indoor Cat Run and now the cat and her 3 kittens have been moved in.  I told my neighbor to make sure the little ones stay with their mother for at least 3 days in their new environment before she starts letting people handle and take the babies away.    I wish she would keep at least one of the 3 kittens, but apparently they are all already spoken for.

    • Well it happened, understandably but it still sucks.  I hated them both so I was going to be unhappy either way, but I do admit I hate Trump slightly more because of the narcissism, egomania, xenophobia, and misogyny.  On top of that that insufferable base of his who think that they are free to act the same way now that he's won.  The apologetics from them were horrible too where they handwaved away legitimate criticisms, and mocking those who brought them with "orange man bad!"   The one good thing to come out of this is punk music is going to absolutely rock for the next few years.  However I really just have one question... https://www.loudersound.com/features/andrew-eldritch-sisters-of-mercy-will-make-another-album-if-trump-is-elected IT'S HAPPENED TWICE NOW ANDY, WHERE'S OUR FUCKIN' ALBUM‽ Well, I guess at least I'll get to keep my guns.
