Google Photos is squishing my photos

Description of problem

Hey everyone,Both me and my wife have for years been taking photos with our phones, cameras and so on. Mostly in 4:3 so, when uploading them to Google Photos we always crop them to 16:9 and usually use Auto Awesome to make the photos prettier.Today something strange started happening. We uploaded 4-5 photos of our cat doing cute weird cat things, and applied the Auto Awesome and 16:9 crop as usual, put it on his album and everything was great.What wasn't great was that i got a notification that someone in my family had seen the newest photos in the album (we share our albums with family cause we live a few countries away) and somehow the photos got squished and are looking fat, in between 16:9 and 4:3. Upon zooming even the tiniest bit it fixes it, but it will display wrongly (squished and widened) online and on the phone.I can provide an image to show what i mean later.

Other relevant info

If i don't add any of those photos to a shared album, even if i did crop them they stay fine the way they should be, they only squish when added to a shared album and then seen by someone.This did not happen to the 5000 photos and albums that we have, it only started happening today so i am not sure what is happening exactly

When this issue began

Today

Recurring issue

Yes

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Upload photos, add to album, edit them (crop and auto awesome), share with someone, upon someone seeing the album the photos squish

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

Re-uploading photos, changing the filters (using different and not using at all), not adding to an album that's shared and so on.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
