For those of us not in IT I assumed the options are more limited. The last time I checked the costs escalated and over 50TB required a business plan. The recovery costs were quite high for the hard drives.

I threw mine out during the pandemnicum. It was a real POS, $800 down the toilet. I'm curious how you are able to use it.

The A54 phone is on the T..Mobiles. It it safe to buy a new model straight away?

Not you, me. ;)

How do you know they are not selling info to the people trying to get at you?

I'm sure the Google doesn't do anything without a reason and to be profitable. I just naturally distrust the smartphones. I have to assume that the Google is spying on me, like Amazon and everyone that has a connected device. My personal compters have no A/V for that reason.

Is it like the Netherlander that will submerge if ocean levels rise?

Hasn't Apple had that for years or is it different? I see all the older folks "drop shipping" files to others nearby, whether phone, tablet, or laptop. Maybe I'm mistaken. I would never send anything to the Google unless it were business related.

You do realize that they build new buildings in Europe, including some tall ones, and often don't tear down old churches?

No. That makes you more vulnerable.

Tha A1 is not mainly a video camera. Sony does have several for U-tubbers and video, typically with larger pixels.

Is it possible that some people don't even know where their data is, local or remote?

Apparently some clueless users store everything there and are not happy. It buggers the mind how people do silly things like that.

A good telescope and GEM are not cheap but not crazy high either compared to many hobbies. Some advocate Alt-Az and ignore rotation, using stacking/software, but it's not the same. That COSPlay seems like something kinda weird. What do psychologists call that? Many people were using the A1...

I can never figure out what exactly your job(s) is/are, so it is difficult to understand. ;) I must have a smartphone to run many various bug business apps, either Android or iPHONE and also there is need for the "factor authentication" almost daily. Nobody at work actually calls me on it...

So, what's wrong with that? I don't get a phone anymore, but the organization provides a sliding scale of phone allowance. I need two phones in case of failures.

It's worse than I though. The 2242 M.2 slot only gets one PCIe 3.0 lane. :mad:

I have the autopay on the T..Mobiles. I'm paying a little more than I could be on a newer plan, but my obsolete plan has things that are only on the most expensive plan now. I have three lines now, one for somebody else. I don't remember the phone numbers since I mainly use the home phone...

Isn't Mint the same as T-Motile, just a cheaper version?

So far I only find ATT.

Panoramas are sometimes exceedingly difficult to capture and process well. I'd put it up there with some other technnical work like astrophotography (telescopes on GEM, not wide-angle nighttime landscapes) or microphotography. Obviously it's not always the case, such as every Bozo with a cell...

I am trying to decide on two bays of NAS. Should I alloctate a spare "hot" drive? It's not clear if the drive is spinning always or if it it powered, but the NAS only spins it up when there is a need to resilver the array.

The problem with good insulation is that it keeps all the heat and humidity in. I find that in a medicorely insulated place that I turn on the AC to 70°F when the temperature outside is >55°F. That must be all due to internal energy. If the home were well insulated, it would be worse.

The new FW 1.81 for the R5 doesn't do much but allow for 9x sampling (via IBIS) and produces 400MP jpg files. RAW is not allowed. There was substantial bogus hype surrounding the update. Of course many folks are upset with Canon rather than the sleaezy vloggers that invent the ridiculous...

I lived in Europe for years and the summers were bad indoors. At 21°C outside it will probably be hotter indoors and fresh air probably humid. One of the best benefits of AC is that it drops humidity to 40%.

I would not have complained about having an H series. ;) Yet there must have been room for 2280 so that we could use a leftover M.2 SSD instead of that stupid 42mm length. Those goofy small towers that are NUC Extreme make even less sense.

My previous NUCs have a 2.5" bay. At least they could give us a regular M.2. What is the issue with the P series?

Bummer. If it's not worth fixing your 135/2, there are plenty of used ones out there, many in fine condition. Everyone is getting the RF 135/1.8, but deliveries are slow.

According to what I read online the A54 uses an Exogenous CPU, but the Samsung USA website does not specify it. What is the issue with the Samsung CPUs? I don't order anything of much value from the Amazon. There is too much counterfeit crap on there. In this case maybe grey or diverted...

https://www.storagereview.com/review/intel-nuc-13-pro-mini-pc-review I mean, WTF are the Intel doing with a stupod design having one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 and one M.2 PCUe 3.0 2242?

The 50/1.4 is known for having a cheesy construction and AF motor, but the 135/2 was solid. What has happened to your lenses?

But you have no ventilation or AC?

You guys are spoiled and I really question that 10FPS is inadequate. At some point you should be capturing video.

It's probably cheap lighting. But to be clear, is this issue with both ES and MS? Some cameras have really slow scan times and that cannot help. When people first started using 35mm seriously there were a lot of complaints about the focal plane shutter (about 1/60th-1/80th at the time) compared...

Slow down the shutter speed. Can you use mechanical at a rehearsal? Are you there in an official capacity where they can help you out?

So if they don't have T.. Mobile I could buy directly from Samsung and take it to T.. Mobile snd they would make it operate?

Isn't there a setting to sync with the AC lights? The 1DX II had that years ago.

Samsung is not mentioning the carriers which is strange. I'll see where it is April 6, but my 2018 phone is nearly death.

Now the A53 does not even exist. :( There is an A54, though no info on whether T-..Mobiles will allow it.

What kind of concert has people or objects moving too fast for the R5?

Individual houses sure do burn down and with high winds so do neighboring structures and whole blocks, but maybe not so much in NYC. Anyway the point was that a NAS would be more valuable than a computer that can easily be replaced. The Dabnish keyboard is kind of whacky so I might be...

Firmware will not change the slow scan ES (rolling shutters) of the R5 nor the 12-bit A/D in ES. It won't fix the spot AF either. I expect that Canon will make the FW of the R5 more similar to the others for the AF controls, videos, etc. but that won't help me much.

I suppose there are different priorities. I would take one of my Nads if the buildings were in flames. Nothing other than people and pets would be as important as my data.

I've been in R&D for nearly 40 years in a variety of roles and worked on small projects up to billions. I've seen and done things that would probably boggle your mind. ;) However, none were as wild and crazy as reversing the aging process. :p

Seriously, that sounds more like science fiction than anything practical.

Future technologies may help increase lifespan, but won't much help people that are already seniors now.

In the small and medium formats it's mostly for artistic purposes. There are a few uses for 8x10. None are very or at all relevant to pros, because clients don't care for IQ the vast majority of the time.

The Z8 is rumoured for Tuesday, but I'm not so sure. We should know more by now if it is true. Combined with the impending major R5 FW update implying that there will not be an R5 II this spring, it may be that we are SCREWED out of good new bodies yet again. :(

So you are 60-61 years old, retired, doing full time home care, and trying to find an SO? That has to be tough. Do you belong to any support groups or organizations to meet people?

You did not segregate valuables from bulky items like furniture? Ouch. :(
