    The PL12-60 is no slouch either when it comes to MFD, but that looks like a fun kit!

    Can't you swap the switch on olympus bodies with the 1-2 switch in settings? I don't know if the OG EM10 has such an ability, but maybe the power switch is faulty.

    North America Total Solar Eclipse, April 8, 2024

    I was in the 90% range, so it was a simple setup. My E-M1.3, 75-300ii, sturdy tripod, iPad, OI Share, and a solar filter from a telescope my father-in-law just gave the kids. It was almost the perfect diameter, so some electrical tape secured it perfectly to the end of the lens hood. Not bad for...

    Just received an odd offer on the forum.

    You'd think if you're a prince, you'd have people that could help you with banking issues.

    Edge is a disaster. It runs the open source Chromium engine, and then MS managed to tack on so much stuff that it's too busy. And with as bad as MS is with trackers, you might as well just use Chrome. It's so bad that the free version of Outlook (as found in Windows 11), has over 700 trackers...

    Under heavy load, my passively-cooled M2 MBA's CPU hits 105C. I'm guessing that's the ceiling before throttling occurs. I suppose it's impressive that it can continue to operate like that without any fan at all. Seems any modern chip is designed like this, where the ceiling is higher, and the...

    Fortunately, Windows 11 is getting better from a stability/usability front, though MS really wants you to "try" to use Copilot. It's perhaps the biggest turn-off with Windows since 10 released--MS is shameless about shoving their services and their latest half-baked ideas in your face. It just...

    As long as the connectors are there, you should be able to add a SATA drive, no problem. Fusion drives just merged spinning rust with PCIe storage, and the OS determined what files were stored where based on access needs. It was a decent solution to speed up performance before NVME storage...
