Here is another to have a look at. Same lens and body. Also candid/handheld. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8dw5j70snlyjh5w/O15A3465.CR2?dl=0

IMHO, it is overexposed and pretty severely cropped. With those considerations, the quality is pretty average for that lens/body.

I'm old enough now that a number of my friends already served (some in combat) and are now solidly into a career in the private sector. Those that chose their station well while in the military have leveraged it much better than I'd expected, making their decision seem more informed than I'd...

Am I the only one here who sees value in keeping RJ-45 and GbE backwards-compatibility? Or are you guys anticipating a one-time massive expenditure/migration?

Even more literal than I was expecting. ;) I was bracing for some comment on the APS-C sized sensor not being able to offer an uncropped image.

...and for those wondering what the zoom capabilities of a 100-400 with a 2x on a 7DII was, this is uncropped.

Let's push our luck and see if this works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jijhkth6a09tg38/O15A4063.CR2?dl=0

Does it work better this way? I've been Googling as to how to put in thumbnails, but honestly I can't figure it out.

Interesting. Loads for me. You can't just left-click it?

Still trying to figure out exactly how "Highlight Priority" behaves...

Since we're ranting vaguely, the autofocus for videos on the 7DII makes a noticeable noise even on external mics connected via the flash shoe. Not sure how to decouple that. Plan B is to switch to the lavalier hidden just off camera somewhere, but that is considerably less...

Actually thinking this switch might be perfect for getting the ESXi and NAS on at 10Gb while feeding all the other switches.

Not fooling with any of that. CAT7 cabling point to point with Intel X540T2 cards I don't feel the need to learn the older tech, just want the faster speed.

I probably have a moderately used (gamed but not folded or mined) 690 sitting around if he wants to go back to SLI.

Just bought my first 10Gb NIC (for a high-end Synology unit). Of course, it won't do much until I get at least one more. The plan is to put the other in an ESXi machine and use it to push backups.

Don't you have some 5Ds? Do you consider them old sensors?

I always thought that the smaller cameras were for those that couldn't swallow the larger bodies of real DSLRs. You are clearly not one of those people. What are you doing with an A7r anyway? Keeping up with both Canon and Nikon glass was too easy?

I don't host web pages anymore, but when I did I also ran a local DNS. This let me just put in a permanent record for that name pointing locally. A hack, I know, but it worked great.

Thanks!

Do you have a link to instructions on such?

15.2 is still the latest version of Hiren. I didn't run Rufus from Hiren, I made Hiren boot off a thumb drive using Rufus. Crazy fast on USB3. And if you haven't installed Win8 off a fast thumbdrive, you've wasted too much of your life.

That is pretty much how I felt about the MikroTik; a great opportunity to learn more about the guts of networking. Unfortunately, I procrastinated the swap until my existing router failed and had no choice but to jam the new one into place. I still have a "to do" list around here somewhere of...

Actually had two drives fail on me this morning, might be first of the year. Original OCZ Vertex 120GB - Fine to undetectable after a reboot. Brand new 6TB WD Green - DOA, packaging was terrible, click of death on first power-up.

Just used it last night on the latest Hiren BootCD.

Very cool. No wonder you needed the minivan, 4' tall and 115lbs? Does your receiver have XLR outputs?

This. Also interested in the speakers.

My first check would be that you haven't used all your DHCP pool. Next would be to assign an available IP from the pool to the device and see if it can ping the router. After that would be to take the wireless device and hard wire it (different MAC, different IP) and see if it still misbehaves...

Had a snake fly into my windshield a couple months ago. Of course it was being carried by a hawk that couldn't climb fast enough. They survived (didn't even hit the ground before the hawk recovered and flew off), but it was a very strange sight/sound.

I'll go with the spot heating, too. I'm sure that case has tons of fans but I'd consider zip-tieing another to the back grille of the PSU pulling heat out. The Corsair units I've been favoring lately ship with a warning sticker explaining that the fans don't even kick on until the unit is...

Does your UPS log incoming voltage? I'm with Coug on this one. If the UPS isn't an on-line model brownouts can sneak through. If you can, tighten up the UPS intervention level.

Nope. Just looking at goofy lenses.

That is the 10kWh. The 7kWh supports more and faster cycles.

I'd be more interested in the 65/0.75 when it comes to wacky huge lenses.

I've seen that a few times, but a SMART scan normally shows what it was complaining about.

For new drives I do the following: Nothing. Don't have data without backups. If you do have backups, don't bother with such effort to further reduce such a small risk. Just my $0.02.

I suspect the 300Mb is between wireless devices? I have a pair of UAP-PRO at my house, and a half-dozen at work. They are almost perfect considering how much cheaper they are than the alternatives. Only complaint would be the management software, though they've probably improved it since I last...

At work one of my guys has set up some Edgerouter Lite units without issue, but I have no firsthand experience. I'm still running the beast RouterBoard at home (RBAH1100x2, modded with a 120mm top-mount fan). Got it to try for work, and didn't find the interface friendly enough to deploy...

Coulda been. By the time I got there it had been hung for a while.

Today I've had a bunch of computers hang on a Windows Update. After leaving them for a long period of time (>45 minutes) I got bored and tried an Alt-Ctrl-Del and got the login screen. This normally doesn't work, but it seems the recent updates have a glitch.

The ones I linked to have the antenna and radio in the same unit. Just put a PoE injector at the bottom and you're done. I don't always have line of sight, but it (of course) helps. The web interface has some handy tools for aligning the antennas. Also keep in mind that all the units of a...

http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/hf004122 Just heard about this, though it seems to have been out for a while. I figure I have 50-ish of these out, including both of my personal units. Want a new battery? You're in luck!

I've bought about a dozen of the exact item that I linked to, all for use in point-to-point connections. Everything I've bought from them uses the exact same interface and supports all the various connection methods.

I'm with Time on this one. The 850 Pro is a great unit and a commodity part so easy to find. Just get a 1TB unit and you'll effectively get huge over-provisioning.

The radio is cheap, but the antenna can be expensive. I'm also too lazy to assemble them myself. PowerBridge M5 works great. http://amzn.com/B004EZBYUM

I like #3, though I would probably try to up the contrast a bit in post. I'm back to shooting my usual subject:

Here we have the same along with a few others. Perhaps a site survey before buying the gear would guide you toward the right frequency to choose.

I do have one of them driving a dual-Xeon, Dual-GPU rig. I chose the 1500w over the (more common for me) 1200w because I thought the total demand might hit 1kW. I did hang that machine on its own 20A circuit. Sorry, I don't keep anything. I'd imagine the manual is on their website if you'd like...

For that short a distance LOS might not even be necessary. Get a pair of the cheap-ish Ubiquiti panels and point them generally towards each other. You might even get away with having them in the building envelope. I have dozens of such installations that haven't needed to be touched in years...

Seems legit. It succeeded at 1kW+ despite being under-served. I'd totally call that a pass.

Just checked, I'm getting the same errors. The GPUs are idle at the moment.
