I cannot comment on the TIVO, don't use one. I have a slow internet connection, usually <3mb. Streaming Netflix I have tried Apple TV, built in app on my Panasonic TV, Amazon Fire Stick and Roku 3. Roku works best with buffering, never has a pause. Hope this helps.

I am installing a TV antenna at 45ft. for I want to cut the cable. I should be able to receive about 50-55 channels, including multicast. (This is according to the FCC website reception map for my rural area.) My internet speed is 30, is this fast enough for Roku 3 or TiVo? What are some of the pros and cons for Roku 3 vs TiVo?

I've been using Time Machine and an external drive on my iMac for years. When the machine is in Sleep mode, what's going on with the external drive? The light blinks at regular intervals, but is it spinning? I don't want to touch it to feel for vibrations.
The feature is call Power Nap. Later vintage Macs can use it. [url]

It also enables tasks other than Time Machine.

There is a significant difference between "waterproof", "weather resistant", and so called "all weather" bags.
Waterproof bags can be tossed into the water; your stuff will stay dry and not get wet. Typically, these are rubberized roll-up sealed bags, no zippers. Brands like Aquapac and Tyr. I use this type to carry camera gear on the water (rafting, canoeing, kayaking). I use a separate padded storage bag (I like the Lowepro Omni line, since discontinued). The advantage to the Omni's is that you can also put them in Pelican waterproof hard shell cases.
Weather resistant bags will have waterproof material and sealed zippers. They can take direct exposure to water as rain but I wouldn't submerge them or splash them repeatedly (but they might help your gear survive in case of an accidental dunking).
All-weather bags will have water resistant material and come with a rain cover for extreme conditions.
Personally, I only trust waterproof bags if I'm on the water.

Thanks for mentioning the Pelican case. I have an old one which came with a camera bag inside. Need to find it, I may have some gear in it.
Bought an old Minolta lens recently on eBay from a Japanese seller. Price quoted included shipping. Arrived in about two weeks. No additional charges.
The Intel I5 processor has been around a long time, I would get the I7 processor.

Using an Altura Photo collapsible rubber lens hood I found at Amazon. If vignette occurs, collapse the hood.
Do a soft reset: hold Home key and Power key until Apple logo appears.
Get the Time Capsule backups happen automatically using Time Machine. If you have AppleCare on your iMac the Time Capsule is covered also. Newer macs will even backup while asleep if Power Nap is enabled.
I favor my image stabilized Canons.

I use the LAEA4 adapter on a Sony a6000 so I can use my old Minolta AF lenses. Have been pleased with AF on this old glass. a6000 in body IS has allowed me to shoot with a 500mm f4 handheld. My reading says f stop loss is only ⅓ stop. Ken Rockell has review on adapter.
