2x SD? :eek:

What data goes to the OneDrive, the stuff that used to be under the Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc? Can't you save files to another drive letter by changing settings later?

Mine was replacing a Galaxie J7 from over 5 years ago. Ironically the software for the separate work profile are what doomed the old phone. I didn't even want it since that was for work only. I'm hoping this new phone lasts for the duration if the battery holds up.

Is that personal or for work? I'm hoping to make it until maybe the S23+ for personal.

I received the A53 and acrtivation will ensue in Week 19. I don't understand some things about the modern 12 OS. So far the extremely short screen form factor is worse than I thought (designed for girls hands?) and there are 5 protrusive lenses/sensors. There is no headphone jack, but I knew...

I would buy a cheap tablet for home use. It is pretty awful that so many websites don't work except on a phone and in many cases an app is demanded rather than a browser. There is a Win 10/11 mobiles app for some banks, but permissions may also be problematic.

Is it a good idea to use a banking app on an obsolete phone with questionable security? Are you finally traveling around and not using a PC from home?

The newer NVMe drives such as Samsung and WD have mystical SMART data. It's really BS. My WD SSDs in a laptop both indicate 100% remaining life in the Dashboard, but they each have a rating of 5100 TBW so it may take awhile. Is the granularity of % insufficient to mange your drive?

The EVF refresh rate and lag are practically eliminated with the R3, A1, and Z9, but the focus and other inherent mirrorless issues remain. The question is whether the R5 II will have a better system or maybe it will have to be the rumored R1. Ironically I am finding more use for the R5 in...

They are better than the R and RP of course, but the acquisition rate of even the modest 5D IV for OOF general subjects is way higher than the R5. Tony should stay with the DSLRs for a while longer. Despite the bullsh*t on the interwebs, the MILCs are still years away from DSLRs in some areas.

Do you have a 70D? I have most of the xxD bodies, but only used them occasionally for reach only with a 500/4 or 600/4 and usually a 1.4x. The 90D was the best of them. An improved 32MP sensor would indeed be nice, but probably too late for my purposes.

I don't do the U-Tubes nor the socialism medias. The problem is that it is required to log into most of them, but I want to have some plausible deniability, so I refuse to have an account and be involved.

It appears that the last article was in 2021.

If the 4070 is 2.5x the 3070, what would the power be?

EF-M is still popular in Japan and some other asian countries. We are not going to see 60-80MP R bodies at under $2000; they'll be well over $4000.

The increase in power can't be more than the increase in performance, can it? That would be bonkers. For example, I could understand 40% more power for double the performance, but ~300W would be the most I could handle. As it is I have to decide which equipment to have on that will not overload...

Video cards are more freely available now. You could get a 3080 or 3080 Ti. :)

The situation sure is grim now, especially for the DX/EF-s croppers. Nikon and Canon don't have Jack in ML reach cameras with decent AF and proper controls. :mad: All Nikon has is the anemic Z50 and Canon has nothing but the useless M mount stuff. In 2015 Nikon had 24 MP DX with nice...

Well, you are young and have to suffer a little. ;) When you are more established you can buy a newer car. :) I started driving in a hand-me-down, used old car that needed something done every few months. That was in the old days when they had RWD, big block V8s, and 3-speed auto trans with...

Perhaps yes, but I did not expect that the seeks would be so loud although some had complained. I looked at so many drives that I can't recall if the 18GB Ultrastars were available or maybe not 5+ that price. Some sites only allow 1 or 2 at the discount price and then the rest are higher...

Yes, like I can fit it in a standard rollaboard along with some other stuff. :D

I suppose there are some advantages to having a true server like you have, since MAS has no BMC. :( It turns out that I forgot the WOL does not work with the SFP+ because that is off when the power is off. Only the 2.5GbE (RJ45) ports are able to accept WOL.

I suppose it is some stupid QNAP thing, since my Synololgy NAS units all boot in under 2 minutes. After logging in it takes about a minute to unlock each folder. I'm not sure what goes on during that time - drives are mapped and the root folders are visible immediately though. I can barely...

This NAS is soooo slow to start, requiring more than 7 minutes to beep (it doesn't talk nicely like the old one). Is that due to the OS support of the ZFS?

I finished copying and subsequently fully verifying the data that I want to keep. Overall I think the NAS works pretty well for the low-powered Ryzen. Over 70% of the cost was the hard drives. I only added the ECC RAM and repurposed an unused dual 10G SFP+ card. I may swap that for a...

I do wildlife and landscape, but not travel. Travel photography typically consists of people with mini cameras/lenses/tripods traipsing in or through cities. In the old days Leica M series cameras were popular for the purpose and now it is mostly S*ny.

That's about what I thought. I have the 3060 Ti since it was available last year without a crazy price. It's more of a card for 2560x1440 than 4K. Wouldn't brand new software be expected to need stronger cards than 20 series?

800mm is usually good for smaller species like little birds, but often too long for wildlife in general. A 600/4 is a better choice and works great with the dedicated TCs. A 600/4.5 or f/5 PF would have been just perfect, but the sports people demand f/4 and don't like the PF bokhes. I would...

Isn't the basic 2080 only as good as a 3070 or 3060 TI?

This is with compressors off and encryptors on.

TIFs are actually my main compressible files, but it's not worth it at this point given the percentage of files. The CPU is already nearly maxed out on encrpyter folders.

Ideally you should be relatively close to a subject at high magnification unless in a vacuum, e.g., space.

I've decided not to use some of the features such as dedups and the snapshots. I have not tested the compressor performance yet, but maybe should if it doesn't create a slowdown. I have not found compressions to be useful in Windows though. The NAS has 32GB of ECC RAM (replaced basic 8GB...

Try it without the always on AF, i.e., don't let FOMO interfere with your technical and artistic development. (It's not an Iphone or secuirty camera.) Most photographers turn that off due to the funky AF behaviours. Use some combination of buttons on the back and/or C functions to select...

At first it was 5 EXOS in RAID 5, but we will do 8 EXOS in RAID 6. Performance doesn't scale much from 4 to 5 drives, so I'm not expecting any significant improvement at eight. I keep playing around with the settings and the benchmarks don't correlate so well to the actual copy speeds. Some...

I installed the QuTS Heros (ZFS), which was rather a PITA process. For some reason the reads are slower than EXT 4, though writes about the same. The ZFS Pools are the storage with no Volume like the EXT4. :unsure: On the QNAP it is impossible to change the ZFS array after creation, which seems...

The studio is very good for the Adobe and other imaging programs, not necessarily general computing. The fact that the whole system including a good GPU fits in 8 lbs. and ~400W is quite impressive. From what I read, the key to performance is the natively coded programs for M1. Quite a few...

It probably only works in Win 11. :(

On which image processing software is the MAC 3x slower? It seems to me that most of the mainstream programs don't scale too well at higher core counts either PC or MAC. You can install an older firmware via methods found on the internets, though Canons are not designed for that. Perhaps you...

I found the IFixits video on the MAC disassembly.

From the specs it looks that the QNAP is entirely different in the FS implementation. Instead of the Synology brfts and EXT4 they have the ZFS and EXT4. However, QNAP requires a whole new OS installation (Hero edition) to use the ZFS compared to the Synology that allows each volume to be...

I think you used GB rather than TB, but the point is the same. I now have some of the X18 drives to maximize capacity. Howewever, I am still undecided about the new NAS and am testing the drives in old NASes. What are the thoughts on the barfts vs. the EXT4 file systems? The comparison at...

Why is AF always on? It's not an iPHOne. :ROFLMAO:

I'm getting 800-1000MB/sec. continuous writes on the Xenon NAS and only ~570 continuous writes on the Excavation NAS with RX-421ND. That is the minimum I could accept. Supposedly the V1500B is better than RX-421, but IDK how much. This is a 2GB copy from the main NAS (Xenon) to the backup...

I'm thinking of moving my current secondary NAS setup (8+5 drives) to offsite storage (>1200km) and replacing it with a newer 8-bay NAS to be used at home and some other locations (<1000km). Typical file size is 50-100MB, with many 4GB and a few of 1-2TB. Does IOPS matter much for the larger...

I don't get it. Are you using one/both of the rear buttons to engage AF or are using the shutter button to AF?

After reading all about the AsusTor I think they missed the boat on a couple of items. Most importantly, the 4-cored Atom CPU is rather wimpy and of lesser concern is that there are no PCIe slots for upgrades. The TrueNAS has the same 4-cored CPU in the base models, but the 8-cored Atom CPU in...

What is the point of the 90Hz or 120Hz display on a phone? Does it make the UI more responsive or just improve playing mini-games? I think my display options are 30Hz or 60Hz on the desktop systems. 60Hz seems fine to me for normal videos. This phone will be used exclusively for work so the...

Interesting. I don't really understand the ransom software. Does it enter through Windows connection to the PC by SMB or does an afflicted file have to have been copied over to the NAS and somehow execute iself there? I never connect the NAS to the internet as of course that would be silly risky.

Oh, no! Sorry I posted it. What is the issue now?
