How about eliminating the general non-photography chit chat forum? It has absolutely no relevance here. Th3 dialogue spirals into nonsense pretty fast. Me, I’m looking for photography insights here.
I enjoy the humor posts that show up in chit chat and the classic car pix. I can skip through the rest quickly.
Do you know why the Jaguar has two seats? One for the driver and one for the electrician!
Here's an exchange between Castle (man) and Beckett (woman).
Very voluptuous blond with cleavage to here, walks through the door and Castle's eyes follow her down the hallway. Beckett, "What is it with men and boobs?"
Castle, "It's biological, we can't help it."
Beckett, " You know they're not real."
Castle, "Santa's not real, but I still enjoy opening his presents."

This is a great unit. Adorama has it on sale for $199.00 USD
I second this one. Works well for me. I'm referring to the opaque "bubble" for the flash.

This article lists 11 memorable movie lines. While there are some good ones like "Life is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get" from Forrest Gump and "You're going to need a bigger boat" from Jaws, some really good ones were not on the list.
"Play it, Sam" from Casablanca -- this one might not have made the list except for the mistake people make in saying "Play it again, Sam"
"Show me the money" from Jerry McGuire
"You had me at hello" also from Jerry McGuire
"Who ya gonna call -- Ghostbusters" from Ghostbusters
"Damn" from Gone With the Wind
"Houston, we have a problem" from Appolo 13
I feel sure a lot of you can add to this list

"When you're going to shoot a man, shoot, don't talk" Tuco Rameriz, The Good Bad and Ugly
" Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, Punk?" Dirty Harry
"A man's got to know his limitations." Dirty Harry
"It's not how fast or accurate, it's being willing." John T. Books, the Shootist
"I miss the clarity" John Housemen's character in The Three Days of the Condor.
Thank you to all of you (all y' all). Turned out it was the manipulation of the OK button (duh!) and I'm good now.
Wishing all of you the very best in the New Year.
Thanks for all the times you all have helped me in 2023 ... and have been patient for the times when I was technically a little behind the curve.

Check your camera's firmware, because Nikon had issued firmware for the D850 to support CFexpress cards:
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.11 to 1.20
• Added supported for CFexpress cards (Type B). For more information, see the Nikon support website for your country or region.
firmware up to date - C 1.30. Body just came back from Nikon 2 weeks ago.

Try having only 1 card in the camera at a time might help.
Good Luck
This worked for the SD card, but not the CF Express Card. I can't find anything on the CF Express card that looks like a write protect tab.
I'm having difficulty formatting cards in my D850 camera. The primary slot is loaded with a CF express card and the secondary is an SD card. When I select format from the menu and select yes, nothing happens and the images remain on the card. The red yes light remains on until the the camera's "wake" times out. Checked the book but may have missed something. The camera came back from Nikon service a few weeks ago. Appreciate guidance. Thank you.

I may have missed something somewhere along the way, but I'm unaware of any high-tier Nikon camera, mirror box or mirrorless, that has ever had a fully articulating screen. Tilt screen only. That goes back at least to the D500 and D850. (The D810 had a fixed rear screen.)
With a little experimentation, I suspect that you can find an operating sequence that will provide easier movement of the screen. Try pulling it out a little at the bottom, then pull from the top.
Articulating screens are something of a mixed blessing. Many like them, but my friend who had the camera repair shop and worked on Canon, Sony, and Nikon cameras said that almost 80% of his repairs involved the rear screen. Replacement usually involved complete camera disassembly to access the main circuit board.

The Nikon Zfc has an articulating screen.

It's about time! Sirius XM is being sued because it's so difficult to cancel service. The difficulty of canceling is one reason why I would never sign up with them again. I have a Lifetime subscription, and until they cancel that, I'll stick with it.

I haven't had too much trouble. I remain insistent and then get a confirmation number.
[quote=Bison n Windows 10 verses Windows 11? Any insightful information and/or feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
I "blundered" into Win 11 and strongly dislike it. Some so-called labor savings devices cause more trouble doing simple functions like copy and paste. I vote against Win 11 until an upgrade is forced upon a buyer.
