My partner has been experiencing emails coming and going in big chunks - months and years at a time - but if we search support forums all we can find are "support agents" blaming the individuals complaining about this phenomenon. It's gaslighting all the way down. Even when it's actively happening, checking moment to moment and having another few months vanish, and they'll still tell you "you must be deleting things, stop deleting them."
When did this start happening and which time period is it affecting? Since November 21, my friend has had all her Gmail emails since May 2023 go missing. It matches the time period mentioned in the article but this is Gmail rather than Drive.
This began roughly 2 weeks ago. Last I saw things had vanished since 2018. It's bad. And when it started it was just back to Dec 2022.
I can't prove there's a connection, but it's just been very aggravating when nobody in any forums believes people that make these claims. To be clear she's only asked once, but more than a few other posts have described situations that read similarly and not just "I can't find this one email".
And yet from that (great) reference: "If you're waiting for me to say something about Juno Reactor, Hallucinogen or Infected Mushroom, the truth is I find their music to be middle of the pack. I understand they are very popular and they were the introduction to the world of Psy Trance for a lot of people so they win a lot of hearts and minds through first impressions. But the scene is massive with thousands of labels and artists around the world, and I find their contributions to be very ignorable. They aren't a good representation of what's actually out there."
Sure but if the system can get your arc length, work angle, travel angle and travel speed dialed and consistent before you even plug in a real welder that's a decent increase in the throughput of a vocational facility with a given number of welding stations because now a fraction of the training can be performed in the classroom.
It doesn't need to match muscle memory. It needs to lop off the first 10-20hr of actual welding where the instructor runs from booth to booth telling people to correct their arc length, angles and speed thereby increasing the efficiency by which welders can be trained.
Microsoft's PowerToys has a shortcut guide that might help get you over that last hurdle towards using win+number effectively. Might want to give it a look.
I will add another voice in favour of Bitwarden. It even has some nice visual polish after many years. I pay the 10$ per year because that's basically free and the value prop is obvious (to me). YMMV
As a handy person, I'm curious about the idea of being able to repair plastics. Could you provide some more info? Are there different kinds of fiberglass cloth? Is it safe to handle? Where might I shop for such a product? Thank you.
I'm dubious about the GP's suggestion to use epoxy and fiberglass on this. Epoxy usually doesn't bond well to polyethylene or polypropylene, especially if it's flexing: https://support.jamestowndistributors.com/hc/en-us/articles/.... Are these laundry hampers made from something else?
Yes, fiberglass won't stick well to polypropilene.
It is however possible to do this kind of repair with fiberglass if you drill a few holes just over and under the crack.
The resin will get into the holes and keep the inner and outer fiberglass layers together, besides acting as a sort of nails transmitting the forces applied to the basket to the outer fiberglass layers.
But unless you are familiar with fiberglass and have the materials from another project, it makes little sense, you can have the same result (with the same technique of drilling a few holes) using metal epoxy putty, the kind that you cut a piece from a stick and knead/mix in your hands.
Nothing sticks really well to polypropylene, unfortunately. But the fiberglass cloth lets you spread the adhesive out across a wider area. You can use whatever epoxy might work (somewhat) better with polypropylene with the same cloth.
Suppliers for things like boatbuilding will sell you fibreglass cloth, epoxy, and all the other equipment you might need.
Honestly, it's unlikely to be cost-effective on a $4 laundry basket. But if you happened to have all the materials around from doing a different, larger project you might use the leftovers for a repair like this.
