I'm glad to have folks in supply chain that monitor such things. It was certainly a problem especially in 2021 when some products were super difficult to source (like the microcontrollers) and had insane prices or >80 weeks lead times for some custom items we needed in large quantity (not...

That's more like an investment in your LLC than coughing up money. :LOL:

The R5 was a bit of a nightmare in 2020 and better with 2021 FW. An R5 II and an R5s with more pixels would be nice. From the start the R5's reduced bit depth, fixed 20FPS, and mediocre scan speed were all a headache in ES mode.

I don't know about Swedish prices, but the smaller Canon batteries are rather much per Wh. The R5 II should be really good when it is finally released.

You will want spare batteries. A 7.5Wh battery does not go far for MILS.

Those work fine with Canon adapters. I have two of the 100-400 IS II. They were the first lenses I ever used on the R5. Canon croppers pretty much suck due to archaic sensor designs.

30MP was well rounded in 2016. Now it is for sports and events. The R5 is killing me. Where are the R5 II and R5s?

Is that for your personal use? It looks like the first 6TB I see is this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1820408-REG/sandisk_professional_sdphe1g_006t_gband_g_drive_armoratd_space_grey.html

So the crappola de Canon continues. R1 resolution is rumored to be only 30MP. 🤢 🤮

Since SSD prices are going crazy, I'm sure that the mobile drives are not dead yet. One of the few HDDs I had that failed was a 4TB Passport around 2016, when that was considered large. I'm willing to buy a 6TB if it is CMR, but not the painful shingles.

Video AF is rather different. My understanding is that you need slow, but steady AF and good tracking. For sure all MILS suffer from AF acquisition with tele lenses since the on-sensor AF has an inadequate effective base length. The better MILS now use some kind of AI logic to decide if the AF...

Don't expect reliable and fast AF from Canon lenses on S*ny bodies. I have Metastones and Sigma adapters and dozens of FW updates. Canon EF lenses work very well with the Canon EF-RF adapter, in some cases better than they did on EF. Don't buy weird brand EF-RF adapters. Some of the new RF...

https://www.westerndigital.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2024/2024-05-16-western-digital-unveils-worlds-highest-capacity-portable-hdds So now you can get 6TB, probably slowly with the shingles.

It probably depends on how Win 7 handles the NPU and GPU. I really would just use 10 at this point.

I did not see anything about price but that is not unreasonable. We were paying nearly $8K for the 1Ds II back in 2004, which would be roughly $13K today. Big tele lenses are much more expensive today though.

I know you IT folks install OS/applocations like a biological function, buy I really try to avoid installations as much as possible. I figure in time, suffering, and software cost it's worth at least $1000 for me to avoid an installation. If I drop a new Granite Ridges CPU into the AM5 sicket...

Canon is so negligent and behind the times that they are just announcing that there will eventually be an R1 by the end of 2024. How lame. :LOL: https://global.canon/en/news/2024/20240515.html

Not really. I was hoping to just upgrade the CPU from the Zen 4 to Zen 5 with simply a BIOS update for the X670E. If I have to install a new OS, new programs, figure out a usage model, etc. then it's not economically worthwhile, especially the high amount of my time. If AMD is therefore not...

Now it is being reported that AMD is not supporting Windows 10 with the Zen 5, even though 10 is supposed to be good until 2025. The excuse is the need for 11 with AI, but that should not apply to the 9900 series desktop CPUs that have no NPU. And it's not like we need 11 for AMP. :(

Do you think I ever would have stooped to using 8 or Vistas for that matter? ;) The numbnuts at MS destroyed the Nokia phonees with that unholy alliance. We had to use the Blackberries in that era for security purposes. Nobody trusted Windows phones.

There is a site of https://www.canonwatch.com/ and of course DPR, but that Canon rumors was conveniently located.

But will the ARMs for Windows be 11 or 12?

I just want a few days notice so that I can pre-order upon release, often at 0:00 UTC -5. For many products if you don't pre-order you may lose months.

If you are using some kind of archaic video games from pre-pandemonic eras, then the iNtel/AMD/NVidias probably don't care much about your market segement. Much of the new iNtel and AMD complicated integrated stuff is for thin/light laptops or low grade desktops that are not having a video...

Where do you go for the info then?

I'm not knowledgeable about the efficiency gained by having a single package, but does a 65-105W "APU" outperform the video graphics of a 115W or 160W discrete card and 65W CPU for example? Maybe it's not fair to compare a 2022 40 series GPU to a 2024 integrated video technology, so think about...

The CanonRumors is out of operation as the main dude has left indefintely. It's not clear if he was . It's very strange that the previous guy also left under similar circumstances. 😧

Most all consumer computers need an NPU function for AI by 2025, so the older wimpy ones will be negligent. The chiplet model might have a CPU, GPU, and NPU in one package like Merc said. The hardware/OS cabal is demanding that you upgrade. :LOL:

My plan is not to buy any phones older than 6 months if possible. My A53 is a tad slow sometimes, I suspect caused by the underwhelming CPU. It is close to 2 years old, so the battery is still good, but a bit less than when new. My A54 is good enough for personal use. I think buying a new...

If I wanted external devices I'd just buy a MAC.

I ruled out the 4090 years ago since the behemoth won't fit without hogging the adjacent 8x/16x PCIe slots. Power is mostly a UPS and home circuits issue, not costs. My GPUs are either at very low power or at full power when DXO is processing the files. I'm not playing video games like the...

I'm still thinking about performance per watt and absolute power rather than the product level numbers. 300W is about my personal limit, so that may not be a 5080.

The A35 is mostly the A54 at $50 less than it was, but stupidly if you already have the A54. I would not even replace the A53 with the A35. I would have purchased the A55 at $500 without hesitation then swapped the A54 for the A53 and A55 for A54. The S23 FE is getting old already at $600...

I see those discoid devices in various buildings and the wiring is in the ceiling. I'm sure they are fine for just the internet About a year after my system, they had something different with the AX vs the AC, but the other parts are altogether and I don't like some of them. Meanwhile, the...

Maybe they can run some city cold water like air conditioning in the summer. ;)

So I've learned that the orientation matters quite a bit. I don't understand the designs of the Wi-Fi, exepct maybe they are more for artistic or ergonomic than functional reasons. The Wi-Fi is much better when it is broadside to the receiving device. After relocating the Wi-Fi so that only...

The problem is that they are still not getting the point that many people don't want a silly recovery partition and just don't want the error message.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/03/microsoft_windows_recovery_environment/ TL;DR MS is not going to fix that bug. :(

I don't use my laptops wirelessly at home, not even my work laptop. I have USB adapters, either 1GbE or 2.5GbE, but my networks for the internet and NASes are strictly separate. The Fibros is 1Gb so it works fine on the cheaply 1GbE switches. Temporarily I've decided to run the RG6 and...

The torpology is ridiculous. The RG6 cable goes from ONT (splitter) into the Wi-Fi and main STB, and the RJ45 cable also goes from the ONT to the Wi-Fi. They do that on purpose so that you must rent it to get video to the RJ45, not to mention replays from the main STB and other stuff, even if...

From what I read the mesh stuff doesn't work well with my Fibros Wi-Fi router, which is necessary for video. So buying two Wi-FI systems would be excessive. I'm debating to just move the main Wi-Fi, but there are a lot of cables (AC, RJ45, and RG6) that would have to go across a doorway. I am...

Of course we are now totally off of the topic, but I meant like the Natural Gasses. Electric tankless is good for a sink or something.

Pretty much everything is becoming a service. Of course there are strong business reason for that regardless of the negative impact to individual users. Unless you can develop a better model, it will be difficult to sell the 20th century mentality in the 2020s.

I'm going to try to add a small Wi-Fi device specifically for the S9 FE galactic tablet. As I mentioned here the Fibros wi-fi is struggling through the walls and items. https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/which-tablets.9227/page-8#post-214824 I have 1GbE ethernet on several switches in...

Did you ever build a radiator into the door? I'm surprised they don't use tankless water heaters in Europe.

Who wants to listen to some kind of angry fool? There is no credibility.

As you know, power is a real limit for many home users in the states. You can't get 2kW from NEMA 5-15 and most 1500VA UPS are actually in the 1000W range on battery. I suppose there are some options for NEMA 5-20, but that usually requires rewiring and a permit. I'm not sure how often both a...

I suppose they will argue that there is enough competition that you d on't need to use MS if the T&C are not to your liking. Most of the CA suits are because a product does (or does not do) something in the T&C and that you were not informed about it.

Yes for now, but I assumed the concern is that the nagging will be changed to a mandatory requirement.

So if I deliberately invalidate the HEllO and discard the account activation email address, then can I use the traditional password method and unencrypt the C: partition? Can I change the password and do everything normally, or do I need to log in with the email and PW and be online? I clear...
