I am sure, not having the distance chip really improves the optical performance.

Shutting off on its own is rare, more common are things just stalling at some point. (1) Resetting the SMC as Tom suggested (which on an iMac is simply unplugging the computer for 15 seconds) is a ...

Can you take a photo or video (eg, with your phone) of what is happening and post it here?

There are advantages to using TM for the OP's backup job: Simplicity and versioning. Simplicity as in only needing one backup drive (or at least no need to partition a backup drive), no need to ...

These displays might have a separate USB hub built-in for use with computers that don't have TB ports. But the two TB ports are the real deal: (1) You can drive the monitor over the TB connection

LG has also produced at least a range of different monitors offering (two) TB1 or TB2 connectors together with HDMI and DisplayPort inputs (eg, 34UM88-P , 31MU97Z-B , 34UM95 , 29UC97-S ). These ...

Time Machine can also backup external drives. Your TM drive just needs to be large enough to hold the backup of the internal drive of the laptop and any external drives you want to backup. ...

If you want a monitor that can act as a hub (ie, allows other, eg, USB peripherals to be connected to the monitor instead of being connected to the laptop), and you want that functionality to work ...

Most base units are in their accurate value meaningless, for example a second:
"The SI definition of second is "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the...

One might argue that almost all people that like, prefer or are completely unbothered by the imperial unit system are merely trying to rationalise what they cannot change or simply have zero...

You've mixed up GBit and GByte. USB 3.1 gen 2 can do 10 Gbit/s or 1.25 Gbyte/s. This compares to the 2 to 3 GByte/s the best consumer SSDs can do. For external storage devices, only TB3 (40...

As Chaitanya already said, it as fast as 'old' SATA interfaces because it, gasp, uses a SATA interface as all affordable external SSDs do. You can speed things up by using two SATA connections and...

If it's a mechanical balance, it can be oz-only or a combined, base 16 scale ( https://d3ld6frh4bdurh.cloudfront.net/products/370/370-ups810_large.jpg ). Digital ones seem to default to showing...

And when shopping ingredients for a recipe that requirest, eg, 2 oz per person, I can just grab a 20 oz package when I want to feed 10 people? Well, not really, the packages are labelled in...

If a tilted viewfinder (with full PD AF) is the only thing you wanted, why didn't you state this as your motivation in your first post?

Well, if a unit system uses enough different bases, there is a chance that one of them is 12. Praising the imperial system for hitting your preferred base of 12 occasionally is like lauding a...

While the U.S. has moved to base 10 currency denominations not long after independence (away from the pounds, shillings, and pence system with base 12 and base 20) in that 100 cent make one dollar,...

As I said above, even just picking one unit and using decimals instead of combining lbs with oz, would be helpful.

The only real downside is dynamic range (as long as there is plenty of light).

Using different units is one thing. When converting currencies we have to deal with that all the time. My biggest problem is the different base systems, if everything were base 12, at least it...
