or yeah just ask anyone for an extra!

Yeah, I guess in this crazy new world I do need one of those things! If only to get the 30GBs of music off my work computer! I'm just not going into downtown today, which is where I'd need to go to buy one.

Okay, I put all my music in folders by album, and the albums all into one folder for easier management, and then uploaded the master folder to the Amazon cloud. When I logged in from the other computer, only like 20 tracks out of the whole 1.3GB were there. How could only 20 songs have moved over?? This is mostly a rhetorical question but if you have any ideas, by all means....

it might take a while to upload?
― mookieproof, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
it will

it's only when you're uploading something big that you realize the modern internet is not as fast as you think it is

Oh. Okay!

For two years, I never had a problem embedding YouTubes on ILX/ILM. Two or three months ago, links stopped embedding, even though I'm just cutting and pasting the URL as always. Yesterday one worked, today it's back to not working. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Is it a browser issue?

the range of urls is limited, they have to be of a certain kind or the parser doesn't recognise them. the newer youtu.be urls don't work, for instance.

ha! that url you pasted into VU thread was https rather than the more usual http, i wonder whether that's the cause...

I think you figured it out. I just tested something and removed the extra "s," and it worked. Thanks!

guys in our household we have 2 aging laptops.
rather than replacing both of them, was thinking since i was going to get a NAS anyway why not just buy a computer fast enough to work as a server and then use the laptops as thin clients/dumb terminals.
however, is it only windows servers that support multiple remote desktop connections? what's the cheapest option available? (or is the cheapest option to just buy 2 new laptops)? really it only needs to support 2 remote users...
