    Well, the final was against Cilic. ;) I don't recall that we had live tennis from Australia back in the 60s or very early 70s. Newcombe was the first guy from Australia I recall seeing and of course I knew who Laver was.

    I thought you were involved in Asian electronics manufacturing. What do you call a place with a hundred to a few thousand employees, multiple buildings, and a hundred thousand to a few million square feet of space. If not a facility do you call it a site instead?

    My old T12 lights were 5000K and 92CRI then the T8 type were 90 CRI IIRC.

    The 500/5.6 is probably the most useful lens, but really there should be DO zooms by now. The 200-500 is not sharp at 500.

    For me it started with the Canadian Koreans not the Northern Koreans. The price of tickets is high so I'm not going.

    I sit in the regular seats, so I don't know about the airspace. Aren't the pilots supposed to figure that out ahead of time? The Olympics are in the Southern Korea Area from what I find on the Wikipaedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyeongchang_County

    Home NAS

    Just normal files of any format. None are more than 30 GB and very few are more than 4095 MB. That is not the issue. I have 5x8TB RED drives in the UX-500P, i.e., 28.5 TB usable space. QTS encrypted write performance of the array was absolute crap so I tried to create a crypto container. It...

    Home NAS

    It is the Haswell E, late 2014 technology. It still works well for me at 4.4GHz. I've vastly exceeded the storage budget over the past 18 months so a new one is out until Win 10.

    Home NAS

    I don't know. If it is not a QNAP file size limitation then it must be the Verano Crypt or Windows. I only have 64GB of RAM in the computer but that should be enough.

    Home NAS

    The file size limit is around 16TB. I wonder if that is normal for a file on a NAS or something of a QNAP issue? Two 14.2 TB files are not bad though.

    Tesla doomed

    That Model 3 looks a bit small, like a mid-sized rather than full-sized car. I'd rather be able to buy an full-sized electric Buick (or some normal car ~195-200 inches long) and plug it in since I expect a couple of relocations. Is there some technology that prevents other brands from charging?

    Does Tesla sell solar cars? You hardly see any of their cars. A few years ago they were supposed to be the next big thing.

    Home NAS

    That is a good point! For now I'm hoping of course that there is no catastrophe that destroys the home hardware. If necessary then buying some hardware will not be the main issue. Obviously it is not feasible in the long term, but may be fine until the summer of 2020. I am working with the...

    Is it possible to rotate a whole set of drives in and out of a NAS or will there be a problem with the array that is returned after the other is used? That may be the simplest solution.

    Two pairs? I thought you were not happy with the first one. I'd return the one from Adormama for a refund, since the other side may start to vibrate later or something else will malfunction. Considering the high cost one would expect that they are individually tested at the fractory, but...

    They can hold it at the guard station after xrays. Another option is to leave it in the vehicle (Chevy).

    I had one years ago, but it's not feasible with all the security everywhere nowadays. I prefer a Swiss type with a few tools but still a decent blade.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I would be looking at 500/512GB and 4TB, but nothing in between. 500/512GB is enough for the boot drive yet 1-2TB just isn't enough for much data.

    Certainly most computers don't have 6-8 NVMe ports as they do SATA ports. It would he nice to set up a BAS or storage server with a dozen of the 4TB 860 Pros.

    Call Blocker App

    I need an Android phone blocker that is based on a whitelist. The user is an 80-year-old, semi-demented woman who answers calls from telemarketers and scammers, giving out all kinds of info. It's rather scary. :( However, she needs to answer calls from about 6 people. Thanks for any app advice.
