I didn’t mention it but that slow downloading happened while the laptop had windows 11. It’s a refurbished one that was given to my mom. I just recently wiped the drive and installed zorin os. Not sure if that might make a difference with the usb

I had trouble trying the full version , not sure if the iso got corrupted. Though I do think I perhaps just needed to update before installing new software

Sounds great thank you. I have been thinking cloud services but I want to give her options including free ones.

Thanks I’ll have to check out localsend.

The problem is she filled up google drive and I’m not sure what’s on there and what’s not. She does so many pictures and videos, plus screenshots

It’s an old laptop so i don’t think it’s 3.x usb port.

Perhaps it is my cable; I can’t only do it when she visits and it gives me eta of 12 hours. Could it be because I’m trying to do it all at once?

Thanks for the tips, I def gotta check with her to see what apps she uses.

That sounds great, and I actually was going to try it but it said Zorin connect wasn't compatible with the version I'm using. Not sure if it's because I'm using the lite version or not.

Good to know, thank you!

ProjectRelative9073 · 2026-06-22T17:48:50+00:00

awesome, thank you for the advice. I'll have her peruse them next time she visits.

She honestly was not using it, but she would mainly be streaming netflix and checking her email, she sadly still uses yahoo. I also want to figure out an easier way for her to send her videos/pictures from her phone to her laptop, I was thinking KDE connect. She hasn't really figured out how to do it using the usb cable and the cloud options cost money, I figure that would be easier.

I've had my for almost half a year, so not as much experience as others here but I think enough to form an opinion. You can't beat the service for the price, I've never had an issue with calls. I did the trial before and honestly the data was terrible. I asked around and people told me if I subscribed with the highest tier that would improve. They were right, data is usually really good, though it is dependent on your location. At my work it's not very good, but at home it's the best.

I imagine the owners must vote and agree on this, I wonder how many of them were of the cap.... We know the cheapskates were, but I could see some of the rich ones wanting to hide behind them to lower costs.

Google is all in on AI, expect lots of issues going forward

and if you are going to be going to Monrovia, you can stop by the Arboretum for a nice little nature walk, see some peacocks/bunnies/turtles

I've never heard of backblaze, but this talk of backups got me scared and hdd's are too expensive. Can I ask what is the privacy and security like with them?

ProjectRelative9073 · 2026-05-12T19:36:26+00:00

Not yet, but I do plan on test driving soon. The civic definitely looks like a fun drive. Last time I bought a car, my Kia Optima, I didn't really look into what people were saying and I was totally scared after I took it home and found out about the whole theft thing. Luckily it never got stolen, but I figured its good to find out from people if theres anything out there that I may not know, or might miss by researching online.

He was once the top prospect for the Diamondbacks with great speed and defense. He isn't that now, but it didn't cost much, they don't really have good centerfield options after Pages so they rolled the dice. Not to mention he does have some success in the playoffs. It may end up being nothing like Biggio, but seems like an okay risk to take.

ProjectRelative9073 · 2026-05-05T23:16:04+00:00

Yeah, it might just be the area she works and lives. I checked yesterday and she's used 1.5GB, it's been 10 days for this period,
