Pliobond and generic rubber cement are almost identical... and applied the same way...and can be identical. Some rubber cements are optimized for easy peel-off, some are a bit tougher. At the two extreme ends of the spectrum think about the goo that sticks your new credit card to a mailer, vs. the rubber cement you normally find at the hardware counter.
I use my A6000 as a studio camera (mainly with "dumb" tilt adaptors for dumb Pentax and Minolta lenses) and outdoors (with three native Sony E-mount stabilized lenses). Arrival of the A6600 means that prices may drop for some of the A6x00 series that are more rugged and a bit more weatherproof than the A6000 and have even faster focusing than the good A6000, like the A6300. I don't need the bigger battery, monitoring video earphones or the in-camera stabilization in the A6600. I suspect many users will be thinking the same thing given the $1400 tag for A6600 vs about $800 even now for some older models. Sony -- you did good.
I'm on a condo board. All contractors we hire must be bonded and insured. Many states and localities require this for all contractors. If your contractor is insured, that is potentially another pocket to check.
Joeg works by combining a block of 2x2 or 4x4 or whatever pixels and generating a "pattern" to replace them. Fewer pixels = better resolution. Going for higher quality in the camera typically generates 2x2 patterns. Saving in edit adjusts that again.
Exactly. Nothing you would have done is a likely cause. Btw, there may have been a repair delay because Nikon got a lot of failures back from the field and needed more.time and more tested parts to fix a bunch of returned cameras.
I tracked a case for a client years ago. Humidity in the circuit board plant was slightly off and was the likely cause of thousands of failures months later.
Yes, millions of components on a chip. The chips are manufactured better and better, and tested better. Oddly enough, the commodity chips with less functionality and fewer components tend to fail more often. They are so, so cheap that testing is less rigorous before they get to the assembly line. As the chip is assembled into its little case, it is tested automatically. The bigger chips need more tests so they are powered longer before sale
I have done QA in electronics. These days, with so much functionality on a chip, there are not many components so the left side of the bathtub curve tends to be less daunting. But as noted, slight assembly errors can cause shorts or local heating issues.
I think you have been getting great value. But read the tech literature. Apple is moving away from Intel CPUs and moving to merge its op systems. Software companies will be updating but we may only get 1 update that works with old, as they aim at new.
Btw, insulting, arrogant, and technically illiterate, you are.
Read tech literature on the transition utilities for software developers. The easy ones (iPhone to mac, ipad to mac) are just coming now. Last I heard, most software is made by software companies, not computer companies, btw.
This is a good nontechnical article but there's a lot of stuff already online about utilities for updating code.

Apple. Public information.
One issue with buying a new Mac now is that Apple will be switching over to it's own processor soon. So stuff that runs on a Mac with Intel CPU like i7 will have a limited upgrade life... probably just a few years.
I was a magazine writer and editor...Sky&Telescope, McGraw-Hill, MBA Communications, Smithsonian and more. Every assignment was different, and I often got reporting assignments because I could do the pix...Scott AFB in Antarctica, etc.
