The Sigma tele macros had super slow AF on natively EF DSLRs. They are actually a little better on MILS. I don't know the AF issues with the Sigma 70-200/2.8, but the Canon RF 70-200/2.8 Z would be better in almost every way.

No.

Maybe foot ball, Bartlet vbslls or

You are a Yankee fan?

Yankees completely collapsed in the top of the 5th. Freeman was the easy choice for MVP with multiple all-time records. Buehler coming in for the save after starting Game 3 on Monday was wild. Dave Roberts deserves a lot of credit for 2024.

I thought anuerism was a deadly condition, but just small now?

If your dates are correct and you are actually over 60, that is amazing to never have been in the hospital for any surgeries at all. I suppose you just did outpatient at other facilities.

AF was never the strong suit of Sigma. :LOL: Have you ever used the 150 or 180 HSM macros, the last ones before OS?

OTOH the 24/1.4 has highly distortion and needs to be severely corrected for rectilinear viewing. Is whatever Sigma 70-200/2.8 all that fragile or sensitive to heat/humidity?

I don't mean medical insurance. Some general insurance that covers bad stuff happening to you or if you get sued. There is usually a threshhold and also it is secondary to any other insurance.

What is the meaning of that RDNA? Is it like rDNA, e.g., the 16S rRNA we used in the 2000s to determine the species?

11 times!? Maybe review your lifestyle or at least get insurance that will cover your injuries from uninsured. Most cars now will detect peds behind the vehicle, though that does not help if people drive like fools.

Oh, that is terrible! I hope the driver was insured and there is some video of the incident. Do you have some family or friends to help you out during recovery? There is no way in the world that I would ride a bike in the city as a senior.

The new Z version is definitely better than the original RF and also takes the RF TCs. Looking at the Canon MTF charts, I'd find it useful with the 1.4x TC also.

I thought that was in a client system, but the threads here are often mixed up. I never hooked up a NAS to a monitor, but I understand when building your own it would be needed.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/news/canon-announces-new-hybrid-lenses I'm not enthused about any of those lenses that are targeted for videos. The 70-200/2.8 is basically a correction for the disatrously received telescoping first RF f/2.8 version. Now a TC can be used and...

What does the graphics do in a NAS? I thought the NAS was just using plain CPU power.

I suppose if it is good quality and you have a tri-phasic controller and cheaply 15.36GB SSDs.

Soon half of the lanes will be appropriated by Thunderbowls.

CUDA was not so interesting to most users until all this AI software was introduced. Fortunately APPLE has taken up some of the slack from the disorganized x86 suppliers, but until the NPUs are really strong (and never will equate to a 400W GPU) we still need discrete GPUs for AI like image...

There are a bunch of basically 2022 cards that are not getting any better, so they should become relatively cheaper over time.

I suppose it depends on how often your data is changing. If you are archiving completed works incrementally and use a ground shipping method it might work out. If you have many TB per week of new or changed data then I'd want larger tapes. Do you travel with tapes by air and if so carry them...

But if your newly acquired GPU is crapping out now, how can you plan to replace it with the iNtel that does not exist yet?

They are designated for video cards or for embedding systems like CPUs/GPUs SuC?

It seems that the drive is being shipped into the US through SFO in a small box 9*6*3 inches and 0.81kg, like the kind individual drives are packed in. Is Seagate shipping both new and used drives from the Thailands? I wonder if they are repairable or not.

Are the Battlemages in production now? I thought they were some kind of vorpware or scam.

Regardless of who wins the series that ending in Game 1 was remarkable. Freeman's walk-off Grand Slam in the bootom of the 10th was a first in world Series History (nearly 700 games) and very reminiscent of Dodger Kirk Gibson's walk-off HR in 1988 since they both had leg injuries. The...

Does each phone have a separate password? I thought they were all the same.

I cannot even get into the playstore to look around without it asking about payment info, some biogometrics. I thought there was a way to get non-paid stuff or at least see what they have. Who owns or manages the data obtained if you get the FOSS keyboard?

I'm not sure if you are serious but $25 seems reasonable for perpetuating software. Are Androids less valuable than APPLEs?

Typowise would be the logical choice since it is a paid product, but that disorganized, hexagonal keyboard is out of whack.

Maybe it is defective and therefore so cheap?

So you are running tests on separate drives with one instance? Somehow I though your were running multiple instances and directing that all to beat up one drive. :(

Wouldn't parallel testing just thrash the drive and slow down the test process terribly?

We will be receiving some kind of replacement for the dying Ironwood pro. How much and with what tools would you test that drive before storing data on it?

The Google is not so good. I'm looking for something less invasive.

Sure. The iNtel has better single-threads and it's probably a fine CPU for human use, not as flame-throwering. I'm wondering if AMD is just prioritizing the single-CCD X3D for holiday shoppers so the kids can play games??? I suppose if the 9950X3D has no deterioration of speeds compared to the...

Synology is just terrible now due to the cats of the special hard drives. :( A U-Haul is expensive to move to most countries. Ask the DD. Tape might be good if you had the LTO-8 or LTO-9. I'm hoping to get 24+TB HDDs soon. Eight of those in a NAS would be good.

I did not even get around to finishing the 9700X. :( Are you saying the 9950X3D will be on sale Novemeber 7th?

How old do you think I am? I was hardly the Doogie Howitzer of the 1970s. ;) In the 1980s I was positioned in the Caribbean (Greater Antilles) and several countries in Europe. I just so happened to be in West Germany when the wall came down. That was interesting, but doesn't mean anything...

Do you think I am so silly to store any security "company data" on my personal systems? Do you know what a breach that could be? It's not feasible to wipe a broken drive.

I am a civilian working for a company that is related to other companies. I don't keep track of all the complicated global connections and I don't say who I work for, but it is probably not why you think.

Maybe they just don't like the Wallpapers, or do they mean the LCD itself?

I'm not seeing how that VM stuff will help me, but I might look into it later. I do keep storage separate. Each unit should be less than 30 lbs. for rapid movement if necessary. What do you do if relocation is requested quickly, like <48 hours? Whether in the back of a rental Jeep GC or DHL...

He probably saw the Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers way back when. I remember 1986 as a sucky year because the Angels had a great chance at their first World Series, but Donnie Moore came in for relief and gave up that home run in the 5th game when they were up 3-1. He killed himself a year...

Oh yeah, you are in Queens so a natural Mets supporter?

But how much is controlled by the As'es vs. the AMD itself? I assumed it's mostly the chipset limitations. I just want a 40-lane chipset like iNtel had some years ago so we don't have all those bottlenecks. The slow-threaded, overpriced, flamethrowing, Threadrippers is not the solution.

Yay, Dodgers!

Which keyboards don't follow you around like the google and have some internal (not online) dictionaries, spellings, etc.? Thanks.

I mean my posts are going into the incorrect forum maybe due to the FireFox or the VRPN; I don't know why. My jobs have nothing to do with anything I can discuss oline. ;) Maybe someday I can mnetion it.
