  1. OK I am desperate. Today my photos have all departed my computer. Yes they are in the cloud, but the folders have lost their dates. Here is the back story: 

     

    New PC laptop computer 18 months ago. All files kept disappearing into the cloud, but I want them on my hard drive to work off line.

     

    Our town has two IT guys, I have paid each of them to come at different times and sort it out but no joy. Our son is an IT specialist, he spent two hours at the beginning of this month trying to sort it out. It all seemed OK for a couple of weeks.

     

    Our son persuaded me to keep the cloud function as backup, he said it would not affect my HD.

     

    Then I went off in the caravan, using my computer off line and on 4G/5G. When I logged on to today on our home network, the Photos folder is not there on my HD. It is not in the Bin. It is in the cloud but has lost the date information from the folders. It must be because I was off line for a couple of weeks.

     

    I would like to disconnect from the cloud. The paid IT guys tried to do that but it keeps coming back and stealing my files.

     

    I am not a computer illiterate, have been managing my own computer as long as there have been desktop computers. What next?

  2. At the end of the movie The Majestic, Jim Carey makes a speech along the lines that some things are worth fighting and dying for. Problems like Iran cannot be resolved by diplomacy, it will take a hot war and a coalition that is prepared to both kill the enemy and lose some of its own people. It will happen sooner or later. Meanwhile we get atrocities like Hamas. I support everything the Israelis are doing.
