The Synology DS923+?

In the future I hope to be downsizing all this craziness to one really good NAS at home and maybe a slower one that is mainly offline. SSD prices are currently too high to be feasible for 150-200TB raw storage NAsd.

I did not even think about the 10 series yet. Like you, I'm not interested in a giant tablet. The 11" with just a basic 3rd party cover are getting close enough to a laptop weight that the portability value is becoming questionable. However, small laptops are getting heavier again, not to...

The a7RIV is 5 years old. The sensor has too many pixels for even 8K and rolling shutters extraordinaire. Maybe get the a7IV for videos. The a7r5 is current, but has the same old sensor Mechanical shutter mode and compressed RAW are need to get the full 10FPS.

Not sure what you mean by eyes are going. Assuming a recent prescription is inadequate, what about cataracts or something else like a degeneration has been diagnosed? If the person really has low vision, then they probably want a large screen and don't care about the highest resolution that...

It's not as bad as those 500W incandescent photo lights that lasted about 6-12 hours. Two of those would heat a room really fast. :LOL:

It weighs 1kg, is 6' long, and has no tripod mount option that I can see. A removable collar would be great. Is the Simga zoom optically correct, without any of that computational crap like Canon, Nikon, etc. sometimes use?

How many watts is that?

There does not seem to be any way to download without the account. Did they sell physical media back in 2020-2021?

Canon has a 24-105/2.8, not 28-105/2.8, and it has a tripod mount. Are you getting the Sigma? And in case yoiu think that is new, Tamron has a 28-105/2.8 in the 1990s. https://www.keh.com/shop/tamron-28-105mm-f-2-8-aspherical-if-sp-ld-176d-lens-for-canon-ef-mount-82-686281.html I pre-ordered...

High ISO may be fine for general use at low-medium image quality, but it you want high image quality high ISO is not the place to be. If you can get say 200Ws out via LEDs in ~1/500th (to use 1/250th reliably) at a reasonable cost, I'd buy one. 1/250th is close to what is expected with a flash...

I think you mean the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/2/3 in the S22 and so on.

In South America they used a bunch of those Chinese Yonougo flashes and they were not very reliable. I think there were 16-20 in use and a number of spares, but they kept overheating and slowing down or misfiring so they were swapping around all the time. At a similar event in the same...

A flash is much brighter for a short duration. For example even a basic shoe-mount flash has about 60Ws of energy that can be delivered in about 1/1000th of a second. If you assume a sync speed of 1/250th it is like having a 15,000W light on for that 1/250th. Even if an LED is twice as...

There might be a compelling case not to buy a newer Canon flash. The R5 II is like the R7 and I think the R6 II. It has the traditional contacts in additions to the newer multi-function ones, so the older flashes or generic flashes work. The only Canon flashes that work with older cameras...

There are multiple rumors now about the S24 FE coming soon. https://www.phonearena.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s24-fe-specs-sheet-appears-with-price-set-at-595_id162155 IDK if this is good or not. I'm concerned that the phone will be excessive.

It's a cheap no brainer for whatever you are doing - B rolls? Meanwhile, it is necessary now with the new Canon flashes to have a $170 flash cord or the $120 camera-powered wireless that sits in the newer shoes and disconnects from the flashes at random. There is also the ST-E3 at $300 that...

But don't they require it to purchase? I did not think one could buy the physical copies with codes anymore.

I think the issue is that the stand-alone installations use a PST not OST as would be used for corporate systems with Exchangeable servers. I have a main PST that is less than 8GB, but I read somewhere that PSTs will not be allowed in the future. How do you manage personal emails that are not...

I have decades of emails in Outlook and really don't know what to do with them until I'm dead. I should have assumed that MS would destroy Outlook, but did not plan well for it.

But it's still a cell phone sensor.

Does Outlook no longer function for emails or is it just the useless Clipper art?

It is indeed interesting, but I'm not seeing any value in building a two-bay 1GbE NAS in the 2020s. Maybe having a really small device with just 2x M.2 rather than SATA would be different, but that one has no M.2 at all. I'm not sure why there is no 2.5GbE. Is it due to the Cortex or the...

Somehow the link above is corrupted. TS-216G Power Consumption HDD Sleep Mode: 4.973W Operating Mode, Typical: 13.907W With the cables and stuff it was still under $300 since the 2TB SSD and the USB over 2.5GbE were in the used parts bin. I will have to relocate the NAS to be able to access the...

The R1 was for the "Olympics" market. The R5 II is the jack of all trades, master of nothingness. Canon is seriously behind the curves with only the R5 II and the archaic-sensored 32MP R7 being over 24MP (I'm not even counting the obsolete RP stocks). It makes little sense that there are...

https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-has-delayed-the-next-eos-r5-mark-ii-shipments-by-potentially-6-months/ That sucks if true.

So you would charge me a lot. :LOL:

:cry:

Yay. I hope the Dr. confirms it was successful.

I use the bootable USB version for one-off activities, but I'm not getting paid for it.

I see, but what kind of legit businesses use free and obsolete software? I understand Merc has his own LLC so he understands the laws far better than me.

Reflect 7 was the last fully free version (8 was for a while), but the free versions don't support encryption or the delta restore that only needs to restore changes. The old versions don't support all the threads on new hardware either so are slower.

Same person or same bots.

Rufus (rufous) is for red, commonly used to describe the color of feathers in the species name, e.g., Selasphorus rufus.

The 216G has no slots. That's a pretty interesting adapter though.

Nope. That does not allow remote operation. I'd like to place the 2-bay one behind some other stuff under a table. Usually it is possible to shut off a NAS through the GUI, then turn off the power through a wireless AC outlet. When the power is turned back on the NAS boots when set to always...

The options are only Previous State and Off. There is no option for On. Some of my others have it, but not the CAN.

I have a ports shortage, but it's not that fast anyways. The main problem is that it won't turn on again after losing power.

A BIOS level fix would be better than relying on the vagaries of various OS, but I'm not expecting any miracles. Maybe all-core and single-threadly will be 10% better than Zen part 4. I also feel it would be better to wait for the X3D to see what that brings.

Thank, but I'm getting the cheap asymmetrical NAS (CAN) for this.

Modern homes are very well insulated, so the A/C power needs are not as much as you would think. Swamp coolers are inadequate when it is really hot all summer and we are still in the monsoon season where it rains and adds humidity. Most of AZ has a high solar energy rating year around, not...

With due apologies to the Sedorkian, AZ is much better than FL. It's warmer, but mostly the humidity is quite low. And you don't have those horrible storms every few years. Some people spend the hot AZ summers in another state or northern AZ.

Haha. I remember in high school we made jokes about what anti-color (anti-quark) could represent Plum Crazy. I have a theory that the desired ambient temperature temperature increases by about 2/3°F per year after age 70 up to age 85.

You are a gluon for punishment. I start breaking out in a sweat after 75°F unless there are human fans. 80°+F is impossible 24/7. I put up with that crap in Europe back in the 20th century. I use far more power WFH now and it's warming up the room all day. The plan is to have the AsBox 4x4...

I'm just going to buy the Cheap Asymmetrical NAS (CAN) and try it first. I like the temperature 72F in here, so no sweat-inducing storage servers are running 24/7 like in your house/datacenter. ;) Once I have the 40GB SSDs internally I can reduce usage of all other nASes to a few hours per week.

The fastest I have in the AsBox 4x4 is Thunderbowls level 4, but I'm not able to go more than 2.5GBE on the NAS. The other option is to de facto in the AsBox, then the Main is not primary. I suppose that will be the life eventually, but I am holding out for now.

Do you guys use USB for 2.5GbE? For example, USB 3.1 to 2.5GbE to USB 3.2?

I just want the keep the size, excess heat generation, and UPS power minimized. I'm not building any weird stuff. I've been thinking about USB, but don't trust it as much.

I may just try a KVM, if it doesn't expode the boards.
