Comment Re:Why use big banks (Score 1) 18

I dislike the upper management of WF. But I really like the people in my local branch. I do not use the ATM, the tellers call me by name and I got a really big safe deposit box added, now have 2 at a large discount. Swap one of the two 8T Seagate Ironwolf Pros every 2 or 3 weeks. No off site back-up means really no back-up. Am very happy with my local branch, not looking to switch. YMMV :)

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.
