    Help! Slow, not loading, freezing

    From my side, today's problems could be due to Backblaze throttling. But Backblaze was not running yesterday. FWIW, I am seeing similar problems on other XenForo sites. Good luck with the debugging.

    Help! Slow, not loading, freezing

    Unusable today. Six login attempts. The successful one took 3 minutes. Links take over a minute to open... if they ever do. On Safari, Chrome and Brave.

    Why do photographers lose photos in the field?

    Thanks gramps. I've been bitten by that one before, but it is not the case here. Thanks anyway. Actually, I just figured it out by looking at the shots before the card changes. I was shooting BIF at 30 fps each time, and I think it switched cards when the buffer filled. It seems to be a feature...

    Why do photographers lose photos in the field?

    This survey might appear to overinflate the number of card failures. I am like Tim. I completed the survey for the one bad experience I had. But that needs to be put in context of over a million problem-free writes. The most common "problem" I have is that the Sony a1 11 bodies occasionally...

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    It took over two millenia for someone to think about adding wheels to suitcases! So, it might not be hard, just time-consuming!

    Constable or Turner?

    For me it is Turner. The abstract wins over the somewhat formalised nature of Constable's work. And how is that for avoiding bias!

    Wetting Agent

    Back in the day, I used one drop of kitchen detergent in 250-500ml distilled water. I also remember trying adding propylene glycol or peg. They improved non.adhesion of the film but slowed drying.

    This looks interesting. Lindsay/Des – can I just clarify that it is birds or macro?

    Is there a way to avoid rubberised finishes becoming sticky?

    FWIW, avoid sunblock and insect repellent on your hands. I destroyed a rubber grip and the top LCD on a Nikon with insect repellent. It makes the rubber positively gungy, far worse than just 'icky!

    Scanner/printer compatible with XP.

    I'm not sure Vuescan will help. It provides universal scanners for older devices for modern OS. I think the OP wants the opposite - drivers for a modern device but using an older OS. I don't remember Vuescan being able to do that, but to be fair I don't think I ever tried.
