Back in April, I lost one of my drives. Today I finally took the computer in for repairs. Well, for a fix, because the repair for that specific type of port no longer exists. The fix, however, does, and it is yet another gizmo with a wire that fits a specific connection on my computer. What a tangled mess!
I’ve tried to go 100% wireless over the years, yet, well, here we go! But I can pull up photos off the SD memory card again, hence the title above. I thought the photos were pretty much lost forever, though I guarantee they aren’t that wonderful. First, though, here’s the gizmo:
You insert the SD memory card on the side.
This isn’t one of the lost photos. It is, however, a cute one of Dougy waiting to be scritched. You deserve a kitty photo for stopping by.
Well, shxt! I saved the lost photos to the SD card in the USB gizmo, then put it back in my camera, where I outsmarted myself and reformatted the SD memory card: The photos truly are lost now! Aren’t you glad they stunk and weren’t worth posting?! Grr!
You say you would like to go wireless but apparently you have not. Can you share the reason? I use T-Mobile’s 18gb-per-month plan and it is more than enough for me. I usually use about 8 or 10 gb of it before it rolls over. Of course all I do is blog and do some online business. I don’t do a lot of movies or anything.
I’m beuing forced by computer woes to revert to peripherals that are wired, but I have WiFi connecting my PC and laptop to the internet. So far that works OK. (Said he, putting the kiss of death on his wireless Internet connection….!)
Electronics were made to make us crazy.
And how! I generally love new gizmos and technology, but there are times the technology just goes crazy.
I know all about it. One only just figures out the next thing and the next thing is a whole new machine.
I feel I returned to older technology by adopting the newer OS. Microsoft should feel ashamed.
So is it working?
So far…!
Sorry you lost your photos. Thank you for including one for us to see though.
Well, it’s June 1st here, hurry up, Doug. :-0
That’s a great photo of Dougy, and I’m sorry to hear you outdumbed yourself. 🙂
What a miserable outcome! I did enjoy my little trip, though, because the Sandhills are greener more than usual this year, thanks to higher rainfall so far. Most of the summer, the grass will be browned out after a brief green period.
I’ve been teching since I±±B±±M machines took up half the room and used punch cards and in my humble opinion it just gets worse every years. That’s why KISS should be the motto in all things tech, but no the children want their bells and whistles/ Sorry about the photos, bad or not. Do appreciate the kitty for stopping by.
Well, the horror stories abound! See the post for June 1st, which documents a road trip taken today….!
Oh man I totally understand your frustration with trying to find lost photos and all of that irritating stuff. Love the photo of Dougy being a love bug.
It gets worse! See the June 1st post….!
There’s always another gizmo for them to sell us and for us to screw up!!
SOmeone “improves” something, ruining it for the majority of users, who have to shell out money to catch up with the “improvement”. Yep! I have a work for these improvements…!
Mol!!😹 OH my fleas! I’m sorry – but that is funny!!! I love that photo of your handsome man Kat, however!!! (I just may have to stalk on over there and say hello)!!😻
Hate to tell you, but December 16, 2011 — I remember because it was Beethoven’s birthday — Andy and Dougy had a little operation to remove their mancathood!
Dang vet! 😾*tail FLAP!*
When I brought them home after their operation, I opened up their carrier,and the ran off at high speed. They showed no sign that they’d experienced any indignity or felt any post-operation pain, they had no stitches, no infection, didn’t have to wear those cute little cone collars (which disappointed me!). Best of all, they never got fat and lazy for losing their mancathood!
Hmm….😼 interesting – They’d look cute in those Cone collars!! 😺
I think so, too! On the other hand, I was pleased the operation caused them not discomfort or short term inconveniences. It was as if nothing happened to them at the clinic!
Need a second opinion?😼
Mol!!😹
Oh man how frustrating!!!!
It gets worse, Ritu! See the next blog for June 1st!
Waiting in anticipation! !
And the search for workable technology continues…!
You are having a total time of it! !!
It’s been one thing or other since I got back from my illness and therapy. I’m sick of it!
Bless you! I truly hope things get sorted asap! !!
Me, too!
Technology tends to outruns us! Yes, wires are way too tempting for kitties. You and the boys have a wonderful day, Doug!
First thing Andy did was hop up on my computer and start playing with the new wires….!
I totally understand why you are trying to get away from wires … those things are way too tempting for kitties.
That, too! Andy is especially bad about mouthing wires or swatting them around. Of course, he’s the one that claims the top of my PC for cat business – watching birds out the window…
Exactly why I use a laptop!
Curiously, because of technical issues with the laptop (the cursor locked up after a Microsoft improvement in the crap OS Windows 10), I had to get a mouse to use with it. The touchpad is crap.
I have heard all sorts of horror stories about Windows 10 … I have a Mac.
I regret the day I accepted a free download! I wasn’t really thrilled with Windows 8 on my laptop when I bought it, and hoped for something better than I got in 10. As for my PC, I bought it when Vista was the OS, and that was OK once I got used to using it. I was happiest with XP, which was the OS used on my PC at work. Not to suggest I am a bit of a Luddite, but i am against change that complicates things. There’s very little on Windows 10 that does things simpler or better that earlier OS’s, as far as my personal experience goes.
I’ve heard horror stories about 8, too… In fact XP is the only one that I haven’t heard complaints about, but apparently they don’t support that any more.
I hated Microsoft 8, though I eventually got comfortable enough on it. Vista was the last one I liked pretty much from the start.
