A lot of online stuff about new generative remove in Lightroom, I’m not excited about that new feature … but the possibility of having a working sync, that’s exciting. Note: just the possibility (I don’t know yet if it’s an improvement).
Sigh. I was a longtime user of Pocket but went to another service. Today I downloaded Pocket again to try it out and when I was trying to log in on my old account I was met with one Captcha after the other. Never signed in, deleted to app. Not going to try Pocket for a while
Sigh. Another expense … not unexpected but still. My offsite Synology ran out of disk space while doing a backup of my onsite Synology. And those disks aren’t as cheap as regular disks. Ahh, well time to start looking at web sites to find new ones.
I’m not sure if I’m angry, relieved, frustrated or just amazed. I needed to use Teams so I downloaded Teams onto my phone (and felt quite dirty), tried to open the link I was invited to, no access, please login, used an old MS account that I haven’t used in 20 years or so, no access, please use another account, tried work account, no access, tried to create account with the same email address I got the invitation on, doesn’t work to create an account in Teams, tried Safari, please allow third party cookies, hell no, tried Brave, same thing - couldn’t find a way to allow third party cookies, Vivaldi, same thing, Firefox Focus, managed to log in … and got a page that said “use Teams app” 🤦🏻♂️ tries the app again, taps “use other account”, enter mail address of the new account, “this account doesn’t exist” (OK, I just managed to log in in the browser but … OK), taps create a new account, enters the same address and get “this account already exists” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😡😡😡
OK I understand that this probably due to not allowing third party cookies in Safari but this soooo bad. This is 3h of my life that I will not get back.
