Hello fellow Ryobi mower owner. Or as I call it, my $500 gym membership.
I have a big old ride on mower as well but hate all the noise and the smell of exhaust, so rather just take three times as long pushing the Ryobi about.
Nothing quite like the satisfying thwack when it eats a small blackberry bush or snaps a runaway wysteria tendril.
There appears to be an increasingly widespread Apple ID outage of some sort impacting users tonight. A number of people on social media say that they were logged out of their Apple ID across multiple devices on Friday evening and forced to reset their password before logging back in…
I don’t mind the downvotes - it’s part of life and I did kinda go off on a tangent which some people wouldn’t have appreciated.
Still, the lack of a proper Google Drive (in my case) sync feature that has offline support is an impediment to migrating away from Windows. I’m a little puzzled as to why Google doesn’t support it, yet they do a Mac version which is sort-of Linux. Maybe because there’s so many Linux implementations?
Yes I did some research. Certainly you can access Google Drive in Gnome quite easily. It works pretty well if you’re online and on a decent connection.
There are third party paid tools available to do the background syncing etc if needed.
Thanks for the clarification re Chrome OS. I never really thought of it as an actual usable OS alternative to Linux as it seems too locked down to be useful.
I’m on Express VPN only because they apparently specialise in avoiding geoblocks and VPN detection for overseas TV sites etc. (Plus three months free for being a TWiT.) So far it’s true for BBC iPlayer, RTe Player and UK Channel 4. For this purpose I’m not overly worried about how log-resistant they are, but interesting to keep up with the score here. The integrated ‘ad blocking’ is also useful, but slower than AdGuard as it seems pages have to wait for assets to fail to load before displaying rather than just being 404’d.
Possibly, or they have multiple entry points on residential ISP blocks and don’t have too many people NAT’d per IP so it looks legit. That would explain the higher costs.
