Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I've had a weird thing the last several weeks where I've been unable to access YouTube from my work laptop. I suppose it could be a case of them deciding we aren't allowed access, but it seems unlikely since they occasionally use it for corporate stuff. And the message keeps saying that I'm offline and should check my connection. I'm demonstrably NOT offline (posting here, f'rinstance). The computer has been shut completely down a few times since this started, but it hasn't sorted itself yet. Not the kind of thing I can call corporate IT about, unfortunately (at least not until the next corporate thingy that happens to post there), anybody have any ideas?

Does anyone have a strong opinion on MacBook Air v MacBook Pro?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I decided to buy an Air rather than a Pro but I don't actually have a strong opinion. I also haven't turned it on in over a month, so.

Our wings are not tired

The new Air models are very powerful. A few of my employees are using them and have been very happy. As long as you don't need the additional ports then it's a very good option.

Does anyone have a Stripe account? Is there anything I should be aware of before I open one?

Don't think I've been in this thread before.

I suddenly can't stream Peacock anymore. all the error says is that my configuration is not compatible and see help for 6007. I can't get Help because the questions and answers are all programmed, there is no contact number or email. I've been subscribing for years. I have a Chromebook. I cleared the cache, updated my password, shut down and restarted my computer, several times. I don't know what to do, or where to go for answers.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi!

Did Chrome OS recently update?
