Note to self:
If there are files which I don't feel are important enough to keep on my laptop, and which to save laptop space, I store only on an external Hard Drive, *** be sure to save it on multiple external hard drives, in case the one goes bad! ***
(There are photos which I can't find, from when I was house-shopping 20 years ago, of all the houses I didn't end up buying. I am sure I deleted most of them. But I find it hard to believe that I would have also deleted photos of the houses I was most interested in; the houses I put in offers for. Yet I can't find them either.)
..
I noticed something interesting about Google Maps Street View, regarding properties which are blurred out at the owner's request: the non-blurred imagery that is shown of the surrounding area has a much older capture date than other nearby areas with no blurred properties.
For example, around here most Street View imagery has a capture date of 2025. But near the blurred properties, the imagery has a capture date way back in 2011 or in some cases, 2016.
I used to have Google Earth installed, which let you select the dates of the imagery it showed... I suppose that was only the dates of the satellite photos. I'm not sure if Street View even existed back then. For whatever reason, I uninstalled it and don't have it anymore. Once in a while I think to myself that I ought to install it again.
Do any of you have Google Earth installed? Does it let you view Street View imagery as well as satellite, and does it let you select from multiple dates for the Street View?
