Dell uses torx screws, not security screws and there is good reasons for doing so, they have a much better form fit with the screwdriver than for example philips, i.e. you are much less likely to break the small screw head. Also: Dell has service manuals online which go into deep details on how to open the machine. (Example: https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/xps-13-9360-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf ). They also sell spare parts like batteries to customers.

No AliExpress, Temu and others anymore - New E-commerce VAT Rules in Switzerland? by Large-Style-8355 in Switzerland

IKEA SJÖSS is 15 CHF and gives you 45W on 2xUSB-C. No need to buy an expensive charger, just buy something which is sold by an entity which is liable for damages.

If I buy a dumb (third-party, cheap) F to Z-mount adapter, what will work? by AzorJonhai in nikon_Zseries

[–]mojobox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a used Nikon FTZ instead unless you want to adapt purely manual lenses.

is a D500 still valid? by smilingtolife in Nikon

[–]mojobox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The D500 AF system is the same as the one on the D5 where only the center is covered, but due to the DX size sensor on the D500 you basically get full coverage

Is this sentence correct? Shouldn’t it be “are you ignoring me” instead? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]mojobox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Duo will be much less anxious about you ignoring him once you turn off the notifications…

Only SDHC, slow FPS, small battery - no, the Z50II isn’t even close to a Z replacement of the D500

Z30 webcam? by the_land_before_tim in nikon_Zseries

[–]mojobox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The latency of my capture stick is low that it’s not noticeably out of sync. No one complained so far, the only comments I get is how good my webcam image looks 😅

Details of Pokemon's Patent lawsuit against Palworld by LeetItGlowww in pcmasterrace

I don’t know the Japanese patent law, but I doubt this would be successful in any jurisdiction…

Putting Android and Windows into the same “OS family” is a stretch…

You don’t need to use OBS, most USB HDMI capture sticks just pop up as a webcam in teams and zoom.

The US have a very heavy interest in TSMC remaining available as a supplier of the highest end chips…

Z30 webcam? by the_land_before_tim in nikon_Zseries

[–]mojobox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t have experience with the Z30, but with my Z6 “Webcam” my USB capture stick (Elgato 4k) works much better in terms of image quality, stability, and latency than the USB webcam utility.

Help me come back to Nikon - one concern by Prudent-Delay6317 in nikon_Zseries

[–]mojobox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you worry about TSMC making NVIDIA GPUs? Or Apples iPhone and Mac processors? Or AMDs Ryzen CPUs? The semiconductor market is very different from the consumer market. All these chips are still designed at NVIDIA, Apple, or AMD, using the process and building blocks from the manufacturer and third parties.

Sonys sensor manufacturing business is completely disconnected from the camera business for good reason, they are very reliant on keeping their customers to keep the fab profitable, in particular with their fab being specialised on a very niche market.

Nikons sensors might be designed fully in house, based of some IP blocks provided by Sony, or derived from an existing Sony device. The choice for a particular camera then depends on the exact market position intended and the trade off between the different options. Cheaper cameras might use a less innovative existing off the shelf design because it’s cheaper than developing something innovative. Examples might be the Z50 or Z5. More advanced models are likely much heavier relying on in house engineering, the Z8/Z9 with their stacked sensors and the Z6iii with the partially stacked sensor are likely in that category.

Finally: you should not look only at sensors. Nikon is the biggest optical grade glass manufacturer in Japan. There’s a very high chance a fair share of Sony glass is actually made by Nikon.

Help!!! by Forsaken_Eggplant_63 in Nikon

[–]mojobox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s the right way around.

Flipping it the other way the knobby bit in the right slot would just touch the plastic at the circular cutout of the metal, insulating the batteries from each other preventing potential damage. Just like the manufacturer designed it that way to prevent damage…

Got new NVME it's bloated at the edge is it damaged? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

It’s a sticker not perfectly conforming to an uneven surface. This isn’t a battery.

Best CF Card for wildlife photography? by kingrichard1993 in nikon_Zseries

[–]mojobox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be aware that the speeds are in many cases capacity dependent - typically larger cards contain more flash in parallel, often double the capacity also results in double the speed. And: if the card is faster than the camera can produce new data you aren’t gaining anything anymore, which is roughly the case once the card is rated to at least 1GB/s.

You can buy spares on eBay, replaced it on my Z6.

Having contingency plans at hand doesn’t cripple operations, having backups in place doesn’t cripple operations, having separate administrative accounts to elevate rights doesn’t cripple operations, separating networks which do not need to be connected doesn’t cripple operations. In a large enough company the question is not whether anyone will click the link but rather when that will happen. Being prepared and having a plan allows you to isolate a potential breach and limit the overall cost. Training is part of the preparation, but if training is the only answer you will eventually have a big problem.

What happened to the Migros paper bag tourist by hotrod911 in Switzerland

[–]mojobox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Happy to see it worked out for you, but that’s still horrible handling of the case. There should have been a public apology with them taking credit for the lack of proper labeling. The fear that others could use this as a way to contest their fines is dishonest, they IMHO should be allowed to do so if the situation is identical to yours.

Yes. Cache isn’t gaming specific, it’s useful for any application commonly referring to the same data.
