I'll create one, and hope like heck the recipient has one as well, or is willing to create one too.
Wait, hmmm, free trial needing CC deets. I'll wait until tomorrow, since I know a colleague is using it for work purposes.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Flickr offers 1 TB of free storage.

Hey. New board.
They actually don't need one - you can share a link that they can access and they can download individual files or the whole folder as a zip file - and Dropbox is free up to 2 GB. I just signed up with a test account to make sure, and as long as you choose the Free plan they don't ask for anything. By default it will install their program (which gives you a folder on your computer you can easily add things to to sync) but you can just not install it and upload manually through the website if you prefer.
Dropbox is definitely the easiest to use file backup and storage utility out there, though significantly more expensive per GB than its competitors. Worth having an account for little things though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dropbox has proved very handy to me, Flickr if I don't mind random people favouriting my father in the seventies.
Which I don't! I've even had Ellis Island records with family members favourited by people I don't know.

Ack! I need to replace one of the Asus RT N13U routers at home--well, one of them. I'd rather just get the same one and redo the setup, but I have no *time* to shop.
I'm gonna hit up Best Buy, but if it's not there, what's the simplest replacement? I had dd-wrted it, which could make it easier or harder. But it's a pretty simple setup (uses. I just did that for familiarity.
It functions as a repeater sitting between the modem/router and a further out router/repeater.

Hey. New board.
Honestly, I would think "whatever is cheapest" would probably work just fine for that need. Surely "set to repeater mode" is a pretty basic task for any router interface.

There's a reason I couldn't do it with the N13U out of the box, but I don't remember it.
I'll take your advice.

Hey. New board.
Interesting. My n13u definitely had a built in repeater mode.

Maybe it was familiarity and security through obscurity--I dunno. It was a while back, back when I got technologically "inspired".

I just realised that thanks to a Buffista I have an extra router at home--a Netgear Nighthawk. Way overpowered for the application, but what a lifesaver!
I'll either use it here and give them my Linksys E3200, or just take it there. Not decided yet...level of effort must be examined...
