DPP 4 is a free down-load from Canon. I have not used any Adobe product since PS 5.5 ... The newer bodies from Canon make really good JPEG's, if the AWB is off I use the curves tool to adjust. You can get better noise reduction software, esp for 90D or really high ISO on 7D mk2, but not Adobe, their DAM is not that good anymore either.

Still using original OS on my 2018 imac Pro, see no reason to change. It's still the same as it always was, buy for the OS, get software that works from others. Had to erase the SSD and replace from back-up twice. Not buying the "new" mirrorless DSLR's either :) Did have to replace the PS brick on my LaCie 2Big 8, same thing used on many laptops. Have to clean out the lint trap on the bottom of the case again, made a fitting for the vaccum cleaner and now using small brush instead of pipe cleaner.

I just up-graded my 2009 Plasma 50" to the Samsung 65" Class - OLED S90D Series - 4K UHD OLED TV I have all the wireless off and no internet connection, HDMI inputs only. I LOVE the picture for everything, even does a good job on my old DVD's. No motion blur on motor sports and NFL or Comcast. Just watched Green Mansions ,1959, on the Comcast DVR and it actually was impressive for being that old. Everything else sharp as a tack, could not be happier with the set, remote is funky but unnecessary as the set toggles on / off with a on/off of any state of any input signal. Sound is great as long as the audio level is low. Old Denon AVC-3000 for loud content. 1,418.11$ delivered from COSTCO. :)

On my recent PG&E bill they show therms and KW use for the billing month and the same data from last years bill. I used almost identical therms last year and 2.1 KW / day, -13%, less than last year. But the bill was 68.38$ more, a 19.2% RISE from last year. NO electric car for me. Maybe the Toyota Rav4 hybrid...

Sad to see this, I preferred the Cat phone for features, but the size was too much for me so I settled on the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme E4810. Battery life is as extreme as the name I had to charge it last week, cannot remember the last time, before that , when I charged it. I don't think Kyocera is going anywhere as so many companies use this phone. I did not enable the PTT, red button, function as I do not need it. The ACN is really nice in noisy places.

Comment GPS in new car 2008 Subaru H6 (Score 2) 138

So I was checking out the mountain roads coastside of San Jose and see a connecting road from the one I'm on, Hwy 35, to the main one, Hwy 84. I jump on it and after a nice drive the road ends in a U turnabout. I stop and look ahead at an empty field with no sign of any road nor trail. There is one house at the U turn and a nice older lady comes out and walks up to me and asks why I am looking at the field. I explain what the cars GPS says and show her the display. She says that many days she sees M/cycles and cars stopping and then going back and this has been going on for years and now she knows why. I've seen many other GPS oddities, but that one I remember.
