Electerrific

I am using this via my Windows7  laptop to upload photos (no corrupt files etc), after recently deleted a few unwanted albums.

My connection is good and I have very rarely had iCloud Photos crash (Drive doesn't at all?), but it is now shutting off every few photos?

I've tried logging out of my Apple ID and back in, as well as restarting the lap?

Thanks, I really didn't think of that. Duh.

Sorted now anyway.

I'm wondering if this can be done, most solutions seem to mention Mac computers?

I just want to arrange my icloud photo albums (using Win7) by name etc, but there's no way I can find of getting the menu bar?

My brother has always used this courier to send lower cost items and never had any issues.

He recently had a few items sold on ebay to post and labelled them fine. But it soon transpired that he had added one postcode incorrectly (a letter out) on one of them, so it was delivered (on time) to that wrong address. Hermes added the photo on their site so they did their bit.

My brother called Hermes but they stated that there was nothing they could do as the fault was his. Though they instigated a courier return to ''collect'' the parcel, though of course there was no guarantee it would be found.

I tend to think that, as most people are dishonest, it won't be 'found'?

Anyone remember the Sutton's, the Grocutt's or Christine/Melanie Chambers?

I'm due to visit soon and I've not kept up with any changes since leaving Sheff a long while back. I understand there have been confusing changes over the years?

From Meadowhead  I used to get either the 25, 53 or 75 which all used to be frequent enough in the daytime, and went towards London Rd and town?

Also, the ticket names and prices are of course, totally different.

What Buses run by that way now, and can I just buy return tickets?

Hi guys.

I have a few videos and gifs on my Samsung S5 phone SD card (I still haven't got around to an upgrade).

I try to add a gif to the FB comments section but it merely adds them as a jpg, as if they're ''frozen''?  And trying the same with my videos from the FB comments section just doesn't even find them at all?

Yet on my laptop, I can both find, upload and add both types of file as normal?  I don't want their selection of crappy gifs, but my own.

I update my phone and also the FB app? Is this their security policy?

Thanks, guys.

Yes, pinch/zoom seems a faff each time. Plus, no options come up, nor in settings?

When I play a downloaded mp4 short video the player on my  Samsung phone plays it so small it is only  about 1" big in the centre of my screen?

I check the res of the vid and it was 1280x720? 

It is really annoying.

Thanks, Feargal

But I don't use it. I know that this model's about 15yrs old, but I've yet to get new batteries and test it. Would it sell for much in today's online markets??

It has a 28-300mm lens with polarising filter attached. 

Would I be better selling the lens separately and the body for spares?

Thanks anyway, Nikki!

I don't know if anyone remembers a character from at least 15-20yrs ago called Thermos O'Flask (dressed like a flask and always paid for prostitutes)?

I have searched for a while and even emailed Viz themselves, who replied, but stating that he was only in issues dating from 2016??

I remember laughing about this character long before then, so must be about 2002-3?

Hi, I have a Samsung S5 (still) and have wanted to arrange all of my folders by putting some similar ones into a parent folder, as sub folders (ie. York and Florida holiday folders within 'Holidays' parent folder)? Saves space on the screen.

This can be done easily on Windows desktop/laptops, but android seems to be another matter?

I tried a few on Google Play but they're buggy with ads or crash?

Apparently written by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Which series and episode featured Anne (eh, eh, ehhhh)  doing a rude drawing in a garden?

Sorry to revive this old thread. But I live in the south now and, I could swear that I saw that typing teacher (Mrs Croft?/Garman?) with the shortish  dark hair and large posterior?

Possibly not as even back in the early 80's she would have been middle-aged?

In an episode of the Napoleonic drama series Sharpe, starring Sean Bean, was there a cameo by Trainspotting actor, Ewen Bremner? Is it him?

Ok thanks, glad I checked! 

I was wanting to back up my reliable 2tb External Hard drive (not to use, purely as saved back ups) and was wondering if the more cost effective brands were reliable?

On Amazon for about £30 are brands like Hilabee, Gazechimp, Perfk and Shiwaki? Are these likely to deteriorate due to their cost, or are they surprisingly good?

I phoned sky and they confirmed that there aren't any issues in the area?

Still very slow internet? Think I'll get the landlady to change her router.

Yes to the former, no to the latter

My laptop was fine on my gf's wifi?

I keep my laptop clean often and haven't downloaded or clicked on anything suspicious, nor added new programs etc, yet one morning last week I switched my laptop on, only to encounter a very slow 1mbs speed (I'm in Bournemouth)?

I'm not the account holder, so can't contact Sky. I also have tried switching the router and laptop itself off/on, deleting old programs as well as running Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.

Someone did say that Sky is playing up here right now, and the websites seem to suggest nationwide anger at Sky's service, but I'm out of options tech-wise at the moment?

One week is seven days, not four. If I wanted to leave on a Friday (which was always the case) I put my notice in on the preceding Friday.

Yes I know, it was the exact day that I was questioning. In some jobs, colleagues handed their notice in on Monday and left Friday- accepted by management.

Check your contract it will give you your notice period in there - on average it's usually around 4 weeks but that's not always the case so it's best to check

 

I recently had a case where my period was 3 months which I felt was a little unnecessary but I had signed the contract. You can always try and negotiate with your employer if you want to reduce or extend it for any reason - the least they can say is no just ensure any agreement is emailed/written. The company I worked for basically didn't want to know so I handed in my notice requesting a shorter period which kicked things off for negotiation and I managed to sort something out with them

 

If you leave early without notice/permission the company can pursue you for loss of earning and breach of contract since what you signed is legally binding - apparently it's very rare for a company to do this unless you have really screwed them over, are very high up or they really dislike what you've done but obviously this isn't recommended

Hi

Yes my contract said a week- I Googled for the week and most stated that it starts the next day after you hand your notice in.

Hi

Whenever I have worked for someone less than two years, I have always given the notice of one week. So if that day is a Monday (with no weekends), I worked my last day on the following Friday?

But someone assures me that if you hand in the notice of 1 week on a Monday, your last day is the following Monday?

If this is so, why haven't past employers mentioned this?
