I think I was unclear earlier. Basically, when I'm listening at times the sound will glitch for a moment. It doesn't cut off for more than a moment, but it takes me out of what I'm listening to.

How convenient that the survey errored out at the very end, after they'd gotten all my answers. Hope they enjoyed getting out of paying me.

Warning for Windows 10 Dark Mode users -- upcoming update has gone the full monty on shiny black… awful.
OTOH - Word's ongoing functional and performance improvements sometimes amaze me, as some will know I'm a fan of Toxaris' EpubTools addin for Word. The add-in hasn't been updated in six years - not only does it still work, it works better… the Dialogue Checker fairly flies, until recently it used to stutter and stagger to the finish line. BR |

Question rather than a Rant
I use a mobile broadband service from Telstra AU's largest telco.
A week ir two ago some sites I visit frequently started to be painfully slow (e.g. https://calibre-ebook.com/ and https://www.smh.com.au/) whilst others were okay (e.g https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ and https://www.telegraph.co.uk/). Examples: most recent download of calibre from calibre.ebook would have taken over an hour, same thing from github about 1 minute. Same article with same pictures from SMH - minutes, from UK-DT - seconds. Microsoft was another slow site. Telstra's speed test was 1Mb/s down and 30Mb/s up To no avail I spent an hour or more faffing around with the Telstra chat people (I think they were real ones), they were no help. I eventually found a solution at Tom's Hardware -- disable IPV6 on the Ethernet. That fixed the slow sites and the speed test, it's now 220Mb/s down and 30Mb/s My question is why were only some sites slow and not all site, and why would disabling IPV6 on the Ethernet side fix it.

Devices like ereaders and MP3 players that use MicroSD cards for memory expansion when full size SD cards could have been easily accommodated. The micro cards are harder to manage, harder to tag, harder to insert and eject, easier to lose, etc., etc.
Anyway, that's my current peeve. |
