Yes, exactly.
I have that tutorial bookmarked to go through.
This is what's working right now. It doesn't matter which board I select in the board manager I get this error message.
But when I push the "boot" button on the board while the sketch is uploading it works. So I did some check and found out that if you connect a capacitor to the boot button it will keep you from having to push the button. I also found that if you put a capacitor between the EN pin and GND pin it does the same thing. I am using the second method and it works great. I used 10uf capacitor. Here is an image of the setup.
I will use this until I find something better.

I just tried the same "boot fix" on my other ESP32 board that I bought weeks ago and couldn't get to work, either,https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QCP2451/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I used the same method. I put a 22uf capacitor between EN and GND and it worked like a charm.
