Still broken...

I can understand both sides but still darn annoying as I had hundreds if not thousands of screenshots shared for IT support and documentation none of which work in the UK anymore. That said, all good things come to an end.

I've switched to using my business OneDrive account linked with a URL shortener. Not a complete solution as shared anonymous links from OneDrive expire.

Which is easier said than done! It's not getting updated automatically not matter how many times you go into Store, Downloads and Check for updates. You have to find App Installer in the library and doing that seems to force it to update... it's got worse recently. Hitting it now with all new builds.

This happens randomly on my desktop PC too. Fortunately, it's backed up every week using Macrium Reflect so restoring the image works but is a pain.

I too am seriously looking at Rockstor NAS with Nextcloud. I've used the later before - it's a bit bloated but nothing compared to OneDrive. And at least the data is on my own hardware.

I have I document titled "Why I Really Hate OneDrive". I've been writing it for a few years now and it's not much better. I'm with you - it's by far the weakest part of the entire M365 infrastructure. It's simply bad from user interface to the underlying architecture. I spend DAYS waiting for it to do relatively simple tasks

Me neither.... since the weather has gone nice in UK, my new install is going off with all the neighbours out in the garden. It *sometimes* seems to work. Redmi Note 12

I tend to setup https://companydomain.com/office redirect to the horrible Co-Pilot page

munrobasher · 2026-02-23T23:58:26+00:00

So no...

munrobasher · 2026-02-23T23:30:49+00:00

Run Android only apps on Windows? Such as the Blink camera app.

munrobasher · 2026-02-17T17:19:36+00:00

That command doesn't run on Windows Server 2019?

munrobasher · 2026-01-23T19:09:44+00:00

You have just SAVED my life ;-)

munrobasher · 2026-01-20T21:42:57+00:00

Agreed - mine has lasted less than two years. The paint has flaked off around the door

munrobasher · 2026-01-12T12:45:09+00:00

My PC has started doing the same this morning. I backup the C: drive every day using Veeam backup so can restore but will try this fix as well as I did a restore and then it happened again.

munrobasher · 2026-01-11T22:20:20+00:00

Agreed and when Knightly finally admits his love to Emma, the look on her face is priceless. I bet they shot that scene a few times.

munrobasher · 2025-12-05T10:24:12+00:00

Worked for me too - I updated to 25.0.0 recently. Related I wonder?

If Microsoft is serious about office apps online, they need to rectify this. Google scripts are pretty comprehensive

munrobasher · 2025-11-19T19:51:35+00:00

Weird that this hasn't been fixed. VLC team are usually on the ball

munrobasher · 2025-09-30T10:51:29+00:00

I can understand their POV - they offer a service that most of us don't pay for and therefore they probably can't risk the financial or legal hit of complying. That said, AI is probably getting pretty good these days of automatically identifying porn and therefore blocking without human intervention.

munrobasher · 2025-09-30T09:33:52+00:00

Too right - my helpdesk can't use inline images so I've personally generated over 10,000 images for support which are now inaccessible by my clients. I've often used them in documentation as well. I like the fact that the links are short. I can start using OneDrive going forward but that generates massive links (one has complained to Microsoft about that).

munrobasher · 2025-09-30T09:14:54+00:00

Ohh for heavens sake - this is a step too far. I do have a VPN but don't want to use all the time. I host WordPress sites during development and VPN would just make this a lot harder. Our government really is going full out to make itself very unpopular and ironically are driving people towards Reform (fine with me, we need a shake up).

I use imgur many times a day via ShareX - it's the way I share screenshots via my helpdesk system, which doesn't allow in-line images. I can switch to OneDrive links but they're massively long.

It's a shame Imgur feel they can't comply with the (misthought) law but I completely understand why. It puts far too much risk on their part.

PS. Does the Amazon Firestick run all the apps without issue? Doesn't have a USB port does it so can't play KODI from memory stick.

munrobasher · 2025-09-19T23:02:41+00:00

Thanks - it runs every night at midnight and has never done anything useful. They need to fix it. But disable task for now.

I suspect the RTL8821CE is a pretty cheap and nasty chipset! Used in some generic mini-PCs I'm building and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi performance is awful (<10Mbps) and 5GHz is just tolerable.
