So what do I do with all this? One thing I forgot to mention, not sure if it's relevant or not: I have two TVs with ROKU sticks via wifi -- however they are never both on at the same time.

Good point. I used to have a wifi booster and I was getting 4 signals --the regular 2.4 and 5, plus the boosted 2.4 and 5. My laptop would connect to whatever one it felt like apparently. I ditched the booster as I no longer needed it, called Spectrum and they said that the PC will select...

I'm running W11 on an ASUS laptop with Firefox, all auto updates are on. This problem has been going on a while, but seems to be getting gradually worse. Sometimes my Spectrum WF speed is so slow that pages won't load -- including a speed test page. When it does, I'm often under 1 MBPS. When...

Is that hardware inside the laptop?

Thanks but I have no idea what any of that is or how to implement it.

I'm running W11, Firefox, with Spectrum on an ASUS laptop. - For quite a while now, but rarely, when I boot my laptop in the morning it will not connect to wifi automatically; I have to do it manually. - The past week or so, when I am connected, it is crazy slow. I downloaded a file a couple...

Me too. I just want a BASIC calendar, don't want it synched with anything, and don't want it to automatically scroll up to the next week like W11 does. I want to always see the entire month like it used to be. I wish the nerds would leave well-enough alone and quit trying to reinvent the wheel...

Maybe "compression" isn't the right word I should use. I'm aware of many files being compressed like jpg, some audios, etc. What YT has done in the past few years is "compress" videos that people have uploaded, but they are not automatically de-compressed when you watch them because YT wants...

As I previously noted in my OP, the lag happens even if I listen to an audio online or download it. I use VLC for audio and video, but it's not that because it even happens when I listen/watch directly from Firefox. Also, as noted, I can take that same file, transfer it with a USB stick, play...

I'm watching Youtube directly on their site, using a Firefox browser.

When I download an MP3 audio (or play it live) and play it on this machine, MOST (not all) files are being compressed so that the first word or first syllable after the speaker has paused is cut off. It is so annoying that some files aren't listenable. It also does it SOMETIMES when watching...

By unplugging the power? Pretty coincidental. 🤷 FWIW, it's working again. I stopped at Dollar General today and got another card for about $16, came home, plugged it into the camera, plugged the camera back in and Eufy formatted it (it would not format the other two cards) and it's recording fine.

The card worked flawlessly for 15 months.

My small iPhone does not have a slot for the card. FWIW: I tried both SD cards (with the adapter for a big slot) in another laptop yesterday and nothing happened then either. I'm 74 and tired of learning new things. :( All I'm trying to do is keep track of my barn cats. Why do I have to...
