Unlike for instance DropBox, Google Backup & Sync does not allow you do move the Google Drive location in a one-step way. You have to go through below ridiculous steps to move it around yourself.
A comment on G+ indicated I should try Insync. Not free, but way more stable and more features.

Insync adds Google Drive functionality to your Windows, Linux and mac OS desktop. Sync, backup, edit and share files easily with one or multiple accounts. Team Drives syncing for G Suite accounts now available! Try Insync free, no credit card needed.

It’s been a while back, but these are part of bitsavers.org:
I expect few people to still have a functioning Apple LaserWriter Pro as – despite them bing very solid devices – having them last for almost 25 years is quite a feat.
But I do know many people have machines from the Apple II through Macintosh II era, and that’s what the first manual is about. Some of the contents:

A while ago, when upgrading from CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20170206" to CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20170213":
aRetrieving: monitoring-tools-1.14.0-4.2.x86_64.rpm ......................................................................................................[error]
File './x86_64/monitoring-tools-1.14.0-4.2.x86_64.rpm' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/'
What happened is that the local zypper configuration was out of sync with the repository. A zypper refresh solved that.
So I expanded my zypper-twup alias to always include the zypper refresh.
Then I updated the documentation from [old WayBack] openSUSE:Tumbleweed upgrade – openSUSE to [new WayBack] openSUSE:Tumbleweed upgrade – openSUSE.

Somehow I missed this:
- August 2011: [WayBack] Status: Intel has posted a firmware update for the Intel® SSD 320 Series (firmware 4PC10362) which addresses the Bad Context 13x Error being discussed on the Communities site and elsewhere. You can download the new firmware here: www.intel.com/go/ssdfirmware
- December 2012: [WayBack] Download Intel® SSD Firmware Update Tool
- [WayBack] Solid State Drives/Memory cell clearing – ArchWiki
- [WayBack] Intel SSD back to life success story (using Lin… |Intel Communities
So I made a file and an image backup, then updated the firmware.

Does anyone know how to disable Edge popping up with a failed link www.msftconnecttest.com/redirect on machines blocked by a router?
This happens on the PC running Windows 10 Pro N (winver shows 1709 build 16299.371) that is not allowed to do any internet access.

Later:
This seems to be intended as per these links:
This can happen on Windows 8 and up when Windows thinks there is a partial network connection and a logon to a proxy or captive portal might solve the solution.
Allowing these in the proxy for port 80 solves the issue:

A while ago I had an Intel Matrix RAID-1 pair of drives that got broken. One of them turned “red” and – since both drives were only a few serial numbers apart – the other was giving issues the moment I tried fiddling with it.
These actions failed:
What had succeeded was a regular Windows backup (a non-image one).
This is what I finally did to get it working again:
