I’ve found that edge has some issues with streaming. Try chrome or another browser.

Since there is only one person streaming then 18.32 Mbps should be good enough.
I was having some buffering issues with Netflix a couple of weeks ago (and I have a pretty high speed connection). It just may be a lot of people streaming Netflix and other providers. They are getting a lot of business with more people staying home.

Buffering wasn't too bad. More than usual. Usual is none or next to none.

One thing that is going to make things faster as we surf is that Flash will be ending at the end of 2020. December 31, 2020 (“EOL Date”).
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html
....Adobe will be removing Flash Player download pages from its site and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.
Adobe always recommends using the latest, supported and up-to-date software. Customers should not use Flash Player after the EOL Date since it will not be supported by Adobe.

Damn. They are going to force me to buy a new computer to run all this new software.

I just found this thread. Maybe you can help me. I am again getting an error message after the advisory on my live feeds. "An unexpected condition was encountered. VCI error initializing RCO:IMA SDK is missing." Anybody else? Does anyone know how to fix this? I cannot be without the live feeds. This happened when the feeds first showed up for me and then resolved somehow, but it's back again. Thanks for any help.

I'm seeing the same thing when I look at them so maybe it is a CBS glitch and they will fix it before the feeds start?
Anyone else seeing this?

You have to turn off your ad-blocker for the CBS site. I know for sure this is the problem. I already had it turned off, but I turned it back on to see if I get that message, and I did.

I have an Acer Chromebook I bought earlier this year. Today, the needlenose tip broke off into the chromebook. I got it out, but it's ruined. I have a new charger coming, but it's not due to get here for another week. So I will be offline until I can do something else.

Probably too late, if Hecka is now offline, but I have found the thrift stores have an amazing variety of electronics connectors for not much $. I live in WA. Our thrift stores opened a couple weeks ago. They are limiting the number of people who can be in the store at one time. I still consider it sort of high risk, so I only go in if I specifically need something, like a certain type of t-shirt to make t-shirt yarn for face masks. I get in and get out as quickly as possible; everybody wears masks of course, as I live on the blue side of WA state.

I am now on a tablet while I wait for my new adapter. I don't like it. It took me too long to post something this morning. If you have a tablet, do you like it? It jumps aroundtoo much.

Tablets aren’t too bad once you get used to them and they have some advantages but I agree that you can do things quicker on a computer.

I hate my android tablet, which was quite expensive, and I LOVE my iPad, which I purchased from a refurbisher, perhaps on eBay or perhaps from one of the websites that promote super deals.

I like my iPad a lot. Am at the point that I need to upgrade to a newer model.

I’ve tried both and I agree that, compared to other tablets, iPads are simply easier to work with.

How do I undo an e-mail hacking.
A friend just called and said he open an e-mail from me that said "Can you do me a favor?"
He said he answered me. I didn't get it, but a hacker wrote back to him asking for money.
I have changed my password. How do I warn others to watch our for fake e-mails from me.

You'll need to send an Email to everyone in your address book. 
If you can have him forward a copy of the scam email, you can check to see if the Email address is really yours or just looks like yours (more common).

Would I have to change my e-mail, or is it too late.

if you've changed your password, that's sufficient.
Changing your Email won't really help anything, especially since I'm guessing that they are not using the exact same Email address. Otherwise the responses would be going to YOU, not your hacker. Make sense?
That's why I asked if you could get a copy, so you could check the actual Email address the hacker is using.
For Example, if your Email is normally DogDoc@provider.com. They may be using D0gDoc@provider.com.
Hope that helps.
