Computer Upgrade
I'm having issues in LrC processing files particularly with the Denoise AI feature. I have a Sony a7rv 61mp camera. Current PC is a 16gb ram, 8th generation i7, and Nvidia GPU. So the question is what computer system do I need to upgrade to? It's been recommended by some to switch to an M3 Mac Pro such as a MRW23LL/A but I'd like to stick with a pc format. Just looking for more feedback as I'm trying to manage the expense.
TIA.

sensor cleaning
How many clean their own sensors as opposed to having it done professionally?

Sales Tax online? grrrrrr

If I read the info correct, the sales tax IS being paid to the state by B&H, you aren't c***ting the state out of anything. What appears to be happening is that B&H is still paying the sales tax and at the same time refunding you the same amount of sales tax you paid. It seems like they would be losing money but my guess is that B&H is hoping that you will use your credit card and pay the monthly charge rather than paying off the card all at once. If you pay the monthly CC charge, it won't take long until the CC card interest you pay will far exceed the paltry x% sales tax you have saved. I figure B&H looked at the amount of credit card sales they take in and figured they should be getting the CC interest instead of Visa or Mastercard, and the x% sales tax rebate to get people to use their card is a small amount to sacrifice compared to the 29+% interest rate on their card, that would add up fast. Just my thoughts.

You are legally required to pay your state's sales tax, if one exists, even if an online retailer does not add it in to the price you pay The government is cracking down more and more on online retailers that do not collect sales tax for online purchases. Besides being illegal, it is a practice which promoted unfair competition online and put brick and mortar stores at a disadvantage. You're just going to have to get used to it like the rest of us, or just move to a state or territory that does not collect sales tax.

Seriously I've never run into this before. I can see why B&H is offering a CC that pays your sales tax as they stand to lose a lot of business as people will just buy locally with that being the case. Pretty smart on their part. As this is being enforced I'll assume other retailers will follow suit... I can't see Adorama not joining the CC fray.

OK buy from your reputable EBAY seller. You are required to pay state sales tax regardless whether the online retailer collect it or not. If you think sales tax is not fair then protest to the state. I absolutely see
that it's not fair if you pay sales tax when you shop at a local store but not when you buy online.


Point taken

My My My... What a robust conversation I seem to have started... Let's see how else can I stir the pot?
Trump or Biden? Border Wall? China tariffs? ( it's a joke ya all)... Since I've posted this I've been called a tax evader and c***ter.. unbelievable.. to clarify what started this, I've been looking for a "coveted" Sony FE 24mm 1.4 lens that no one that I can find has in stock. They are constantly of back order so I contacted B&H and they were the only ones that had some coming in this month so I gave them a CC# ignorant of the fact that they now charge sales tax and they sent me an invoice that included sales tax. I had never had to deal with that before and was very surprised, so I cancelled the order because I didn't want another CC. As I'm finding out that now is the norm. I was simply trying to put a feeler out there that perhaps by chance some dealer that someone might have dealt with in some state is in an area where the sales tax situation doesn't apply... I usually buy on ebay where as yet I have never had to pay sales tax. I'll stick with ebay. Is that evasion? I think not. The only problem is the lens I'm looking for, sellers want more than the sales tax (law of supply and demand)... guess I'll have to go with a Sigma, lesson learned. I was only looking for an above board way to not pay sales tax... thank you for all your responses.

I already have my Payboo card. No surprises, no hidden fees, but be ware if you do not pay balances in full every month, 29.99%. As to your personal information, if you have a credit card, mortgage, car payment, your personal information is already out there and any hope of confidentiality has sailed long ago.

I pay more than my fair share in taxes and like others here don't mind doing so but what aggravates me is the waste of the taxes I pay and the governments insatiable need for more. Especially in Washington State, we build palatial schools and significantly over pay/hire school administrators and then the school districts cry about not having enough money to pay teachers. No fiscal responsibility. OK, off my soap box now.

Great response I agree... question... does applying for their CC create a hard of soft inquiry on your credit report?

I agree with KWGW9V. I like how you must be thinking when you use the word "skirt" Most honest people who understand the role of taxation have the auto substitute function in their brain that replaces skirt with C***T! Pay it like most law abiding people do.


If a person is doing it lawfully I have NO problem with saving money. Sorry if that offends you :) I guess a lot of us have been spoiled by not having to pay sales tax on items we purchase out of state online. I just can't jump at the chance to pay sales tax if I don't have to. Taxes are getting ridiculous not just the new sales tax thing. People in California which I travel to a lot pay exorbitant gas tax in their state and prices are hard for some families or persons to afford. I applaud your valiance to ante up but I'm more inclined to save a buck "legally" where I can. and by the way, skirting and c***ting are not the same thing.

i cannot believe that a credit card would pay your sales tax , some states up to 10 % . that does not make any sense .


Just to clarify.... B&H is offering their new CC whereby, if you purchase camera equipment etc. from them they will foot the sales tax on purchases from them. If you're going to buy a computer from Best Buy that is not going to apply. Only purchases from B&H apply. The catch? pay in full before 30 days is up or interest is over 29%.
