Would premise owners please STOP saying a 3 * rating is a negative review on google maps ! IT IS NOT !
3 * = AVERAGE
and petrol stations, shops, & pubs will generally get a 3 * from me whereas national trust properties will generally get a 5 * from me
heres an ACTUAL unreplyable MSG from a premise owner for a 3 * rating
response from the owner : we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by.

goog finally change how google drive and google photos interact
following a long campaign by myself (#flickralt) and others goog are finally changing how google drive and google photos interact
- https://www.blog.google/products/photos/simplifying-google-photos-and-google-drive/
- https://support.google.com/photos/answer/9316089
From 10 July 2019, new photos and videos from Drive won’t automatically show in Photos. Similarly, new photos and videos in Photos will not be added to the Photos folder in Drive. Photos and videos you delete in Drive will not be removed from Photos. Similarly, items you delete in Photos will not be removed from Drive. This change is designed to help prevent accidental deletion of items across products.
From 10 July 2019, Google Photos and Google Drive will no longer automatically sync. We’re making this change to simplify how things work between the two services. You can read more about the changes in our blog post.
- When you upload or delete photos in Google Drive or Google Photos, changes won’t be reflected in the other product.
- On photos.google.com, you can use a new feature called ‘Upload from Drive’, which lets you manually choose photos and videos from Drive to copy into Photos.
- Once items have been copied into Photos, items are not connected between the two products.
- If you copy Original quality items from Drive into Photos, they will count towards your storage in both products. Learn more.
- These changes are for all devices and platforms, like iOS and Android.
-
Your existing photos and videos are still in Google Photos and Google Drive. Google Photos backup will continue to work as before.

Auto-generated by YouTube.
is there some sort of goog youtube chatbot or robot that record companies can email CDs to and the youtube robot turns them into a youtube channel and playlists with hidden videos ?

latest more info on the pesky @googleuk #backupandsync 100% cpu #bug only occurs with SSD drives
latest more info on the pesky @googleuk #backupandsync 100% cpu #bug only occurs with SSD drives
two similar PCs one HP8440 i5 Win 10 Pro and the other a HP8560 i7 Win 10 Home so was it cpu or os causing the problem ! no i think it was the SSD drive as once videos had been copied onto HP8560 google b&s didnt use 100% cpu
steps to reproduce
- get 24G of videos (a dump from your dashcam is pefect)
- put on a PC with a SSD
- run goog B&S
- cpu goes to 100%
workaround
- get 24G of videos (a dump from your dashcam is pefect)
- put on a PC with a normal HD
- run goog B&S
- cpu does not go to 100%
