Still rocking a 6 ½ year old iPhone 11, which does me fine That may change this year, the battery is starting to get annoying and I am not sure it is worth spending more money on it at this point as I think it is finally going to fall out of support for the latest version of iOS in the autumn...

When I first got started in computer retail in the early 1990s, HDDs were around £1000 per GB, plus VAT

On the flip side, I had my first SSD failure a couple of weeks ago with a four year old 2TB Samsung T7 that stopped reading and writing overnight. It just sits there doing nothing and getting hot. Data was safely backed up, so that wasn't a problem, fortunately. And I had plenty of space on...

I didn’t say they are orphaned works, just that there is a legally defined process that must be followed for them the IPO to determine whether they are orphaned or not, which is described on the sites I linked to. Form the IPO, the definition is [emphasis added] The guidance includes...

They may have twigged, the link was broken when I tried it just now

If the TV has an option to use a hard-wired Ethernet connection instead of WiFi, then that would where I would start.

A Zenit E with a Helios 44 should do the trick, no? :D

Having made a similar discovery when I tried using a tripod with my M645j, besides a max shutter speed of 1/500 vs 1/1000 on the 1000S, the M645J doesn't have a a mirror lock-up. Both are pretty compact, light and enjoyable 645 SLRs, The prism AE finder helps enormously with handling...
