    Smartphone and plan advice (v. clean slate)

    It's unclear how a BYOD phone works with carrier phones on the same account plan, but the idea of a used phone is unappealing. Unless the phones are autoclaved, EtO or 60Co sterilized, I'll pass. :)

    Oh no! My G4 started upgrading itself and I'm afraid to stop it. Am I doomed? :(

    My G4 has been fine. The only LG I'd consider of that group is the K10.

    How can this fly in other countries, or have other countries already abandoned the MS for business purposes?

    The first few rehabs often don't stick, especially with the hardcore addicts. Sometimes death is the only cure.

    Smartphone and plan advice (v. clean slate)

    My 2011 Phone is really becoming a problem now. What are the best options for a budget phone, around $200 at the Tmobile. This is the phone for work so I don't want to spend very much on it. ;) I use the G4 as the main personal phone.

    Liver may fail at that rate in addition to brain cells. Enabling alcoholics doesn't help either.

    Windows 10

    What happens when the internet is disconnected? Can you still find file names and contents when the Cortana function is mandatory by MS? I'm really leaning towards the next computer being disconnected from the internet after all the programs are installed. Then I'd install the data drives.

    No, I'm not a pro. Most of my cameras and lenses have not been used in 5-10 years. Lately I have been using the 5DsR and 1Dx, but I have over a dozen bodies.

    10TB helium drive

    I thought the surveillance drivers were mainly 5400/5900 RPM as well. Since future drives will be filled with gas, we may see a return to an all 7200 RPM era.

    Best movie you've seen

    I liked the Wacho's earlier films, but it's been downhill since Vendetta. The audience should not be treated like mental defectives or 10 year olds that need a theme beaten into them ten times. The British bad guy twit needed some direction to dial it down 80%. I would not be surprised if the...

    I thought the IMBD rating was about right or a little generous. ;) The film was boring, the plot was lame, and the bad guy a caricature.

    10TB helium drive

    Even the cheaper ones are rated 10^-15 UER, so I probably would have used the Ironwood instead of the Enterprise Capacity. I'm not sure why the desktop version is more expensive since it lacks the vibration sensors and they are all 7200 RPM. The surveillance version has different firmware no...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    My point is that with 48 layers, you'd think the price would be a lot lower. They need to do more than that to reduce costs. Is NAND the only answer for SSD? I thought there would be something better eventually.

    I have noticed some weird new member names. I don't understand what they have to gain from spamming a relatively obscure board. Don't they make more money from the big sites?

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Of course the 10K and 15K SAS performance drives are going away first, but the Amazon or the Google, etc. need to store exabytes of data in bulk at low prices. Whether it is in the enterprise capacity or cheaper drives like the BarkBlazers, that's all 3.5" drives for economy. I'd be buying...

    Personal Music Players - I need to scratch an itch

    I think they would have olden batteries. Anyway, it's a shame that there are no newer MP3 models worth a damn. I don't want to haul around a big, expensive brick of a phone and drain the power instead of having something tiny, lightweight, and relatively cheap with a long battery life.

    Any lens over about 4 lbs. would be mounted with a tripod collar and carried over the shoulder. ;) Get some decent pads for the tripod legs. Some people use additional padding on the spider. If you need to keep a large lens/camera "hand held," then a large lens should also have strap lugs.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Didn't you say the same thing about 6 years ago? :D A 2TB 850 Pro SSD costs the same as last year. The 4TB 850 TLC (which has far less durability than a HDD) is $1500. That's not exactly inspiring for price parity. 10 years is a long time to wait. Windows 12 will probably be the OS then and...

    I hope they don't screw up the body with some Millenium nonsense. Many people are not so thrilled with some of the newer Nikon UI stuff, but it may be something different like fully auto AF calibration.

    10TB helium drive

    Some of those drives look rather good, but I have no need for more at the moment. I wonder if the helium fill will extend to sub-6 platter models by next year. One would think that 2016 hybrid drives would have more than 8GB of SSD, but perhaps the core of the Windows is only that size.
