    At your age it might be good to work a few years for a larger company to broaden your work experiences. I should have done that in my youth instead of later on when I had to learn some aspects of business the hard way.

    So four years later Nadal has 21 in what may be the best AO final ever. I can hardly believe it.

    Mirrorless Cameras (MILC) and Lenses

    1.5 on the R5 is such a cluster that people had to figure out how to reinstall 1.4. After ~100K frames on R5s in six months I'm hoping to throw in the towel and look for something better. To date there is no indication of an R1 anytime soon or any body other than the R3 that is actually AF...

    Mirrorless Cameras (MILC) and Lenses

    I'd figure the cost of rental equiment into the price. I've used the RF 600/4 IS and the 600/4 IS III which both cost about the same to rent for a week. You cannot go wrong with the RF 100-500 either, and the combo is what I used in 2021.

    Intel Highly Defined Audio

    I connected the NUC via HDMI to Yamahas receiver and that is connected to my old TV. Voilà, there are sounds from the big speakers and images on the screen. :) The video looks a bit crude, as would be expected at full HD resolution.

    Laptop time?

    How do you prevent laptop battery drain in storage? In the old days the battery could be removed and later some units had a button that would disconnect it internally until power was applied. However, my LG machine has no controls over the battery and loses power each day. I'm sure the...

    I'm waiting for the virus to die down a bit before going to the T-motile store for the A52. How do you wipe data from the old phones? I suppose if the Cougtek were still alive, he would smash it with a BFH.

    Intel Highly Defined Audio

    I don't use the HDMIs at home, but you helped me figure it out. The video driver and software was not correct and I had to install the Intel version. I had updated the audio several times and also the chipset. It did not dawn on me that the video driver (IGFX something) was controlling the...

    I have no idea how that works. The sound from the stero mini is going to the speakers just fine. I even reset the BIOS to no avail.

    Intel Highly Defined Audio

    I had been using an old Intel 5th Generation NUC with dual-cored CPU for many years so I got a newer unit from November 2021. Unfortunately the drivers for Intel HD Audio are now messed up, i.e., the warning sign appears in the Device Manger. Win 10 update does nothing for it and the Realtek...

    I know too many people that only got it once, most recently a classmate of mine from the 70s. 😭 I wear a true N95 when out in public, which is limited as I can WFH mostly. It can be brutal for air travel, like 16-18 hours. Fortunately I don't have to travel so much for projects now.

    Gosh I would never do that unless sufficient bucks were involved. It's like giving up your negatives used to be. The photographer controls the output printing or other media, but that is an artistic choice from the RAW files. On the website there is no 1/8" mini audio socket. :( Do you use...

    In 2003 I recall spending $600 for a 2GB memory card that held only 200 images. Prices have dropped over the years, but the latest fast cards are more expensive than a few years ago, e.g., 128GB is now about $200 and 512GB about $650. Laptops will always be necessary at this rate. Sometimes...

    My experience was that it was trying to find the internet, locked onto a random Wi-Fi from the neighborhood, and asked me to log in. Of course I did not know the password, but there was no cancelling at that point. Maybe I could have used a large Farady bag and to make it time out.

    It is the cheapest laptop I've purchased for personal use ever, though in 2000 my laptop was just a little more expensive. Since 2003 I have beeen using the ultralight Fujitsu executive type laptops (P series, then U series) for international travel photography. The Fujitsus were well made...

    I tried that F7, but no dice. I think that's just the way it is with the cheap laptop and HDMI. It means that I won't use the laptop at home, which is not critical. The dimming/low contrast on battery is really weird and something caused by the OS. Tonight I installed Win 11 from the MS...

    Well that's not the only problem. It only works properly on AC. On battery the display dims and loses contrast and the battery settings to override it don't exist. This whole laptop maybe should go in the trash. :mad:

    There is no GPU, only the Xeremis graphics in the 1165G7. There are only a few options in the BIOS. I suppose they don't want users messing around with the consumer grade laptops.

    During boot or when the computer is in BIOS the monitor is blank. The laptop internal display is fine. Is there simply a drivers limitation that Windows must load to run the external video? It's also really bad for using the Macrium since I cannot see progress or anything else unless the...

    NAS and Enterprise drives have more specific requirements and a longer time before a timeout is identified that can break the array, if that is what you mean. Years ago consumer WD drives were infamous for (deliberately) performing poorly in arrays to help WD sell their more expensive...

    Can we assume that is an H series CPU, i.e., 10750H? That is a pretty decent CPU (45W, 6-cores, and 18 months old) though it is good you have a video card since the UHD 630 is basically crap video. SSDs these days are not so great, mainly relying on the SLC cache for perfomance so you don't...
