nostr:npub1zdey545rjztuzmw3x6n8r9uqu5xuddvcjlgku5jgy66tnvr5sr3qqrgs2z I have gigabytes of data on mine, all my personal stuff and downloads, and copies of my websites etc... so I can't afford to lose anything.
Right, on good advice I am doing a complete computer backup. It will take probably most of the day, so I won't be online as much. Fare ye well for now.
nostr:npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 Has the laptop got a HDD or SSD ?
If its a HDD then maybe run scandisk to see if its h/w corruption.
nostr:npub1n8x76e7glvxc440a302uyrxwegsfftasf6efdfcl3tes6xmycjksspn8kx Ah yes, someone else just suggested that. I'm scared now.
nostr:npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 in the olden days, I would have suspected a hard disk partial failure but I don't know if it's a thing anymore or how to check. That said, you might want to backup important files just in case your disk is feeling blue.
nostr:npub1jtfzl8d0223d6hjzwcr6srqpsq24e30yark2yu4rvka4xrlvx07qf7kz5e Uh oh. I hope not. I do fairly regular backups but perhaps I will do another today.
Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

nostr:npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 Hey Trillian ,
Have you done an update very recently or installed new s/w ?
nostr:npub1n8x76e7glvxc440a302uyrxwegsfftasf6efdfcl3tes6xmycjksspn8kx No, I had thought of that but there's been no change. I even did a malware scan this morning, just in case, but there was nothing amiss.
Wierd stuff continues to happen to my laptop. As you may recall, yesterday the system font changed for no reason. I resolved that.
Then the images preview function disappeared and I had to switch it back on.
This morning, after opening Outlook once or twice (using my usual desktop icon) suddenly the icon disappears! I couldn't believe it. I went to open Outlook, no icon.
So I had to recover and reinstate the icon... but I have no idea why it suddenly disappeared.
#Caturday comes round so soon,
To honour #CatsofMastodon.
We love their eyes, their fluffy fur,
We love to hear them meow and purr;
So lift a paw and kiss a nose,
And know these are the pets we chose!

I learnt fer't speak proper English* as a wee nipper, burreye 'ad fer't learn posh English fer't go to uni 'cos they dint speak proper down yon.
* Lancashire was then the most populated county, until Attila the Hen, so by rights, Lanky IS proper English.

I just read a newspaper article that used affect instead of effect all the way through. It seems as if newspapers rely on spellcheck, but don't know enough about grammar to see their own mistakes.
How are younger and less able readers to know correct English if what they read gets it so wrong?
nostr:npub1gen2hvwqdtrscdu2ura2ycjk9q66dzz4n9vdhvm8ejsg40rhjd7ssv2yg8 This is absolutely horrific!!
nostr:npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 Windows 11 already lets you change fonts from the Personalization tab. You must be on Windows 10, which lacks such an option.
If so, please know you don't need any additional software.
You just need a .reg file extension.
Here's how to do it:

nostr:npub15u6ywgz5gk5vjkh5p07y4g4smptr9azdppdzqcheva8d202gdzxq37qc6k Yes, that's exactly what I did, but it made no difference. I tried changing the default to Arial, to see what would happen, then tried changing it back to the default with the registry hack... none of that worked. There was obviously something else wrong.

nostr:npub1vz5z96j57udk4vd0wkee8df88pwda7uy7rpnrey8ktzjgxdva8fql5yzzg It makes a lot more sense now - how come all the papers and websites have used the wrong image?
nostr:npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 UK internet properly broke around midnight last night, wondering why , because it was a lot of big hitters, like Virgin & BT , only for maybe an hour but properly bust for the affected sites.
I always know its serious when I have to access Down Detector from 4g / 5g
So tbh prolly let off on the grounds of complete innocence 😁🥰
nostr:npub1v78rrnac3vk7sf2gvrzn7redtkd63rqmcr7l0fm65kpq8ljsnv8qyutx9y Phew!! But I wonder what happened. I was safely asleep by then and I don't know if Sky was affected as well. I hope it wasn't a foreign hack. (Maybe the weather??)
nostr:npub1v78rrnac3vk7sf2gvrzn7redtkd63rqmcr7l0fm65kpq8ljsnv8qyutx9y not me! I've been too busy putting duct tape round the last disaster and rewiring the routers. I hope I did it all correctly. Um... not too sure....

Have you ever thought about the concept of a #jigsaw and what that says about us as a human race?
We take a photo, cut it up into hundreds of small irregular bits, simply for the pleasure of putting it all back together again.
There is no practical use for a jigsaw, either in pieces or assembled (because it cannot be preserved when assembled). It serves no purpose whatsoever except to present a challenge.
Isn't that an odd little view into the human mind?
Enjoy!
