    I am mostly over covid now but reckon I am still not fully there.  I was doing couch to 5k before and I was half way through but now I can not run at all.

    Still got a dad in hospital unable to walk.  Even through he has not got covid now, it was covid that put him there and to be honest I don't think he will recover.

     

    This is serious.  Lots of stupid talk about vaccines not being safe etc and it take 10 years to make a vaccine.   That is correct in a way but most of that is getting funding, doing research etc.

     

    Reading a magazine last night about this virus is actually not as bad as one could be.  More virus's are jumping from animal to man as we take away their natural habitats.   We might not be so lucky with the next one.

    I will be first in the queue for my vaccine, already lost one friend to Coronavirus and I currently have another in hospital on a ventilator this is serious, never understand why anyone would not want a vaccine to be honest.

    Barbara came to my carpet shop in Ledbury years ago for an hour on a promotion, she had a cuppa and a long natter. We also supplied her carpets in her home and pub, she was really lovely, sad news.

    could be a number of things, you just have to start from basics, what speed are you getting at the moment?

    how are you connecting NAS, cable to your router or to pc ? or wifi.  where are you transferring the files to, from NAS to PC 

    if connected to your router by Ethernet cable, first put it direct to your pc by Ethernet cable and check you can get a good speed there first. Could be your router slowing the speed, check port speeds on router. ideally you need Gigabit ports for full speed

    if by wifi what band you using 2.4 or 5 GHZ see if you can connect using the 5GHZ as its faster with new devices, also try a different channel. You can get a phone app to scan and see what devices are using what channel so you can use a channel that's free.

     

    I had a sinology and if I remember right when I had one you have to change or check that your running file transfer in SMB3 protocol

    a quick google on what I had originally came up with the issue and fix on my unit

     I have a NAS connected via power line, I also have poor connections, constantly drops in and out

    I may need a drone in the next few weeks )when this flaming lockdown ends) but never flown one, i would need somethingthat i could fit a camera on it and be easy to move, just like the old RC cars, not intrested in turning it upside down, just up/down/left and simple, any brands i should be looking at or will any old junk do and if it does not come with a camera what camera should i be looking for, my phone is an Android One (Xiaomi Mi A1, Android Pie i think with latest updates) trust me any input is welcome on this one, some idea of money would be handy i'd rather buy 2nd hand as i suspect it will only be used a few times

    A lot of these come with camera's built in, I have been looking at trying a cheap one of these myself
