You couldn’t be more incorrect. The narrator of Mentour Pilot, Petter Hörnfeldt, is a Swedish Training Captain, Type Rating Instructor (TRI) and Type Rating Examiner (TRE) on the Boeing 737-800 for a major European airline. He is the creator and producer of Mentour Pilot. His vlogs are the best and most technically detailed and accurate available. Clearly, you haven’t watched many. IF you watch his vlogs, you know he loves Boeing aircraft, and if you watch the ones on the 737 Max crashes and the recent door loss on a Boeing aircraft, you’ll discover that they are carefully researched, with great detail and a very balanced view.

Well done.

I’d start with a fresh set of inks if you haven’t used it for 8 months.

How are you managing the color - the computer’s OS drivers or your post processing ap? Make sure you’re not using both. And if you’re using the OS drivers, make sure the correct driver is installed and up to date and setting are correct. To test, you can enable your processing ap’s color management and disable the OS’. Also, when you changed the computer, did you recalibrate the monitor/video card? Monitor calibration, using your post processing’s color management (only) and soft proofing are key to getting your prints to match what you see on the monitor.

Btw, when you changed computers, did you reinstall the correct Canon driver/application package rather than using a generic Windows/Mac driver?. If you’re running Windows 11, last I looked (which has been awhile), there was no Win11 driver for the 9000 mkII from Canon, but the win 10 driver worked fine when installed on a new Win 11 machine.

If your goal is to fill the buffer less quickly to increase the burst rate or max number of exposures in a burst, I’d do some comparitive burst testing with both raw and craw. You may find that the increased processing time to compress the file hurts your burst performance more than the smaller file helps it. For example, I’ve found that implementing lens correction on my Canon (vs doing it in post) slows burst performance quite substantially due to the processing involved.

That’s unnecessary and may well be incorrect - you don’t know the circumstances.

I’m struggling with the the use of the word inverter. By definition, an inverter converts DC to AC and many/most inverters use PWM to regulate the AC voltage produced. The power supply in a microwave is a common rectifier (AC to DC). As you say, the AC to the HV transformer is pulsed to vary the “on time” or pulse width (PWM) of the magnetron, but there is no conversion from DC to AC, which is why I am confused by the use of the term. Panasonic may call it an inverter microwave, but by the strict definition of an inverter, that isn’t accurate, hence my problem with the word in that comtext.

What does that mean?

Bill, you and I have had this discussion before (a number of times) and no one doubts your credibility, skill and experience as a professional. I understand your photos were good enough to sell and satisfy clients - my question to you is have you ecpver tried calibrating a lens/camera combination to see if it could make your images sharper (with an AF DSLR)?

Maybe now because of encroachment into South China Sea and historically when Vietnam was part of China, but not during the Vietnam war with the US. Per Wiki:

“ China's arms shipments to Vietnam included 270,000 guns, over 10,000 pieces of artillery, 200 million bullets of different types, 2.02 million artillery shells, 15,000 wire transmitters, 5,000 radio transmitters, over 1,000 trucks, 15 planes, 28 naval vessels, and 1.18 million sets of military uniforms."[3]: 359  It was China’s aid to North Vietnam from 1955 to 1963 that effectively gave the North the resources needed to begin the insurgency in the South.[7]: 215 ”

[quote=John Matthews][quote=BebuLamar]I found that the US did too much for the French. After saving them from Germany, the US let the French went back and occupied Vietnam again and that's how the war started. If the US didn't let the French went back and let Vietnam be independence they would not be a communist country and there would be no war.[/quote

Why would you think Vietnam would not have become a communist country? I think they likely would have sooner (not saying good or bad).[/quote]

I agree. Ho Chi Minh, who formed the Viet Minh, to fight for independence from the French was inspired by the Bolshevik Revolution and Lenin - he was oriented to Communism from the very beginning and supported by The USSR and China, and his goal was to overthrow emperor Bo Dai who ruled in the south. Communism was inevitable. The war only delayed it. The US can’t be blamed for communism in Vietnam. Even if Woodrow Wilson had supported the revolution led by “Uncle Ho”, it’s hard to imagine that he would have steered the country toward Democracy. Vietnam (formally Indo China) had nothing in common with the US and everything in common with China.

In the early days of Windows that would work, but not any more. An application needs the appropriate entry in the registry as well as information in the program data files. If you don’t want to reinstall everything, make a clone of the drive.

After writing this, I see it’s already been mentioned. Sorry.

Yep, you’ve got to be very careful sharing your genetic information on sites such as 23 and Me - it can lead to unpleasant surprises.

I would venture to say that a large majority (likely most) of those drafted to serve in Vietnam and the American public at the time didn’t understand the background or reasons for the war. I know I didn’t. I didn’t understand the history of Vietnam until I retuned from the war in ‘69 and studied it in depth in college. How many Americans or Vietnam vets do you suppose ever read the Geneva accords or understood that originally Ho Chi Minh asked President Woodrow Wilson for help and was ignored?

My mother came from a large Tobacco farming Virginia family and had 8 brothers serving in WWII at the same time, and amazingly, they all returned alive. My Father in Law was an officer and spent the entire war on destroyers in the Pacific and was at some of the worst battles in the Pacific. He had great respect for the Navy and stayed in the reserves until he retired as a Commander. On his death bed while receiving the last rites, the Priest said: “you must be proud of your military service”, to which my father in law replied: “war is nothing to be proud of”.

Can’t resist commenting that the most vociferous voices against calibrating DSLR lens have never tried it, or magically, never had a lens/camera combination that front or back focused (or that they noticed). As to the classic objection that you can do more harm than good, the answer is simple - if you don’t like the result, just turn it off! Isn’t surprising that if this feature were unneeded or dangerous, that major camera manufacturers included it?
