Has anyone read or heard what is causing the increase in covid cases? I really would like to know.
We are all washing our hands and wearing our masks. Is there more to the story?

Has anyone "bothered" to read the reports coming from Belgium and Germany about how the masks don't protect anything?

Not a floor; just a brick road.

The LED focus guide depends on the SLR AF module and therefore is likely to be inaccurate. Last time I used that lens (recently) it was to time and measure star trails. Focus by the Sony magnifier was acoarst perfect even for stars. If you’re stuck with an SLR, accurate focus is available by the live view option.
Pre-AF SLRs have excellent focusing screens but focusing an AF SLR by eye is barely possible and seldom perfect.

For a different approach, Change out the (focusing) screen for a split image (45 degree diagonal) screen. I've done that with all of my film and digital cameras; makes it much easier (and efficient) to focus correctly.

A speaker at a recent photo club meeting was describing the importance various redundant backup options. He mentioned that external hard drives (like Seagate and WD) need to be replaced about every 18-24 months.
I understand any such device can fail, and one needs a backup of the backup, so to speak. But I was shocked at his assertion. I keep adding more WD units as my collection grows...but I had not considered constant replacement too. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have quite a few seagates that have been running without problems for more than 10 years. Four of them in a RAID 0+1 group have been running constantly for about 15 years and another two in a RAID 1 array for the same amount of time.

That surely makes it hard on her husband. What's he got ? To finish in about 10 seconds every minute; probably gets totally dehydrated in the first 15 minutes, eh ? I know (of course) that she might have more than 1, and that they "take turns", LoL.....

I was wondering about that volume problem. On normal TV my volume level is at 15, but when I watch Netflix it has to be at 65! I also notice that it frequently freezes in the middle of a show and I get a message to try again later. Is this a bandwith problem?
YES, it is a bandwidth problem; have that same problem occasionally with Spectrum. Fist thing I do is check the Bandwidth (using speedtest), then call Spectrum to complain. Many times I will not get billed for that particular day, LoL..... We do NOT have any volume problems though.

You are so right about Epson printers. I've had two and if they are not consistently used the nozzles will clog. I now have a Canon that gets rarely used but when I do use it I don't have to run through 2 to 3 nozzle cleanings.
I've got 2 Epson priners (a WF 2750 and a very old R1800). I have NEVER had a problem with either one of them (note that the 1800 is probably about 15 - 20 years old) and very rarely do I have to do a "head cleaning", even if it has been a month or two since it was last used.
