Cindy

I have replaced the router via AT&T three times now, router BGW310.  Can you explain the "switch" please.  I am unfamiliar with this router thing.  
Thank you for your input, I like to build to last, and I have always valued your thoughts and opinions for years now.  You are truly priceless! 

Brian, could you tell me if I built this correctly?  My systems usually last me 5-8 years, but the motherboard / ethernet port has failed now twice on the XPS8930 for me.  I am thinking that within the year I need to replace this and want to be sure I have configured it properly to lasting the next 5 years at a minimum.  

Here is my link, I will also attach the tech specs on this. https://www.dell.com/purchase/cart/en-us?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&cjevent=ccaf9c7e711b11ee819a52bf0a1cb828&dgc=CJ&dgc=af&publisherid=4286516&publisher=&aff=Capital One Shopping&affid=4286516&aff_webid=7882476&aff_user_id=379632a912614c9b914a5e3dbd0a8bc9&gacd=9684992-28463632-5750457-345576786-177846717&VEN1=12578053-7882476-379632a912614c9b914a5e3dbd0a8bc9-Capital One Shopping&dclid=CI_PqOHCioIDFV_t9QIdxD0Chg

 

Brian, I am considering making a change from my DSLR to the Newer Nikon Z8.  With my current system, will it be capable of handling the files?  The mega pixels are 45, whereas right now I am at 16.2.  This will be the last camera I purchase I am certain, I've had my D4 since it's birth, and still haven't had issues or problems, but I am feeling the need to step up to the times.  

I have another year before my support is void on my system, at which time I will purchase another yes, but need to know if it's going to be able to handle the file sizes. 

Please and thank you always! 

 

I figured something out...  Thank you for your time!  I truly appreciate it.  I am not in a class right now, so we are good.   Again, thank you. 

I am asking how to keep the base white in all of them.... It's not the photography or the technique so much as a editing nightmare. 

I've done all the above and wondered if there was a quicker, or better way of obtaining it consistently. 

Hi Damien, I saw the action you wrote for the jewelry question on changing the colors.  I have one for you.  I ask though please, you don't share this as they are for a client that has not viewed them and I can't let it out.  

I am using an AB400 PLM and bouncing light to the background and foreground (glossy white) however, leaving the settings exactly the same in camera and in RAW processing (wrote a preset for it), there is a difference in the grey / white bottom on all of them.  I have used curves and only applied it to the whites, I have tried a gradient just on the bottom, and I have tried a solid color layer on soft light (white).   I need consistency in these, and I am stuck at making this a quicker process.  Here are two examples.  One darker and one light more of what it should be.  

Thoughts please? 

Brian, could I please ask another favor?   

The monitor I received was defective, it had a halo / vignette all around the screen.   I have to return that one.  

Can this monitor be suggested?  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1645576-REG/dell_u2422h_ultrasharp_24_fhd_monitor.html  Or show me another please.  

Oh I have more than plenty text prints... no worries there.   

We will see how it performs.  I just hate to buy another calibrator.  

One last question Brian, my Spyder 5 pro will calibrate this correct?   I really don't want to have to upgrade my calibrator again.  Not right now. 

PERFECT !  I don't / didn't want a headache and don't need all the bells and whistles.  I invest that more so in my computers.  

As always Brian, THANK YOU!

Would this one do the trick, like I stated, I know that 4K is not your suggestion.

Yes I have a HDMI Port, and video memory is in the  screen shot.   

If you don't care for the 4000K or the other that I listed I only want to go 27 inch and prefer to stay with Dell Ultra sharps.  So your suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.  

 

Currently I have a Dell Ultra Sharp 2414H and it's been amazing.  I am looking to replace this and found these two 27 inch monitors.  Can you tell me which you would prefer please.

Or do you have a better Ultra Sharp you would recommend.   

Thank you in advance for your time and help. 
 

It threw a couple of settings off on the system and PS.   PS seems to be dragging a bit, but I am sure that will clear up with another update.   Otherwise all three went well!  

Perfect!   One went well, going to work on the other 2 tomorrow.  

Thank you!

I have used Spyder's tool (fix) and uninstalled and reinstalled it 4 times.   After 3 hours it leaves the task bar but the calibration stays.  It's very strange.   Then my mouse and keyboard are not responding right, more so my mouse.  
I always check my drivers via the manufacturer and nothing is new.   I am hoping the update helps.  I am on my third reboot of the update that has straggling updates as you stated.  
Crossing my fingers, so I don't have to do a OS reinstall back to 1903 (I think is what came with the system).   I like that the new update you can go with what is last on the system.   Three major updates would take forever and I am sure get messed up somewhere.  
Thank you always for the tech talk! 

My spyder 5 pro is acting wonky and now my mouse and keyboard.   Therefore, instead of reinstalling the OS I was hoping that this update may fix those things (it was a previous little update that caused it).   I will give it a go tonight.   
THANK YOU! 

Hi Brian!   Just here to pick your brain on the new Window 10 2004 update.    What's your thoughts?   I have 4 systems ready to have it, but of course I am dragging my feet to hear more.   I've not seen much on it other than what I have dug up in the past two days.   You are always part of my thought process.  

Thank you! 

I just like to build them to last.    My last one I purchased was back in 2014 and it still runs like a champ and the paper work I have on it was for 2141.00.

Thank you for the clarification.   

In the first sentence you say holy shit the price drop, then you say it's high.   I have priced this out for the past 6 months and this was / is the lowest I've been able to get  it.   I started back 5 months ago at 3200 and almost bit on that one.  

We got it down to 2432.00 with 4 years support, he found a discount (the rep) and I forgot about the PPA discount)   Sorry. NVidia (R)Gforce RTX2080 8gb GDDR6

I have time to change anything because I delayed shipping.   

This is what is in my cart.   What should I change?   I've been sitting and watching the price drop on these.   Please and thank you! 
Total price with small business 4 years support is 2660.00

I am doing these menus for some mom and pop restaurants  here in our little town for free through this mess.   I truly appreciate every little second of your time!   You have helped a small town at the same time!  

You just pull stuff out of your butt don't you?   LOL   Really, I overthink way too much! 

It worked fine... I am brainless at this point.    This lockdown has me all jacked up!
