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.

Hehe. I won't even get on a plane. If she can't go with me, I'm not going.

Maybe they were just really stubborn.

It used to be in Cyprus that you paid less tax on an unfinished building. Lots of them had rebar sticking out.

I think I prefer that my dog dies before I do. Being a King Charles spaniel it'll probably just sit by my rotting corpse until it dies from hunger.

They replace the penguins with whales.

Thanks for that.

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.

Thanks for caring @warmaster.

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?

Bugger. Was hoping it was a sync upgrade for cloud storage providers.

My roof top system has done a bit.

I've been able to store a bit to use at night into several old AGM batteries.

Just moved from Starlink to 5G so that's another kW per day I'm saving.

I don't know who Daniel is but I miss him :)

Elton John song.

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.

Deleted by creator? That's the fifth panel probably.

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.

Except for the task manager. Windows 8 to Windows 10 had a good one.

Aah ok.

Does that mean /dirtyr4l would be an alternative orientation?

That's more likely to be another battery optimisation setting, or a low memory condition.

Each manufacturer is different in this regard, google 'don't kill my app' for more info.

What does the r mean on r4r?

Crack out the 3d printer...

Agreed re how customisable it is. Can also back up to a file for easy transfer to your next phone etc.
