I could have access to my wife’s FB and she can see mine, we do that all the time without hiding messages from eachother.

BUT

To demand that, to want that from you in the first place, even if you are ok with that, its a major red flag. Yes its possible to make him login without accessing your email. Those are different passwords anyway (they may be the same, thats on you, but they are based on different platforms and hosts). But to make him do that is to bend to his will.

Today, is your facebook account. Tomorrow, your instagram. Then, the email. See the issue?

My advice (and many other users here): tell him goodbye. I know it may hurt, but its the best for you on the long run.

I had two external drives failing in the same way. One was a WD, the other was a Lacie. Both network access drives.

They both stopped showing the disk in explorer, but I could retrieve the hard drive and plug them into my computer. With UFS explorer, I copied all the wanted files from the hard drive, with no errors. Then formated the hard drive (the one inside the Lacie box). The WD was more recently and at work, I still have it plugged inside my computer if anyone needs anything from there (which I doubt, since I copied most important stuff already).

The Lacie box actually had a WD hard drive inside, which I still use today as a regular internal HDD.

Now, if they actually show in explorer but you have errors, then maybe it is actually the hard drive failing.

My advice: uninstall CCleaner, copy over the files you need, if you can, and format the drive. If the issues persist, like slow access, error copying files over, do one last thing before you trash it: plug it into a diferent sata port. If it doesn’t read well, forget the disk.

I always use Saal Digital. I have used ZNO too. Both have a great quality at average costs. They are not too expensive and they are always giving away discount codes, and in the end, it makes your order have a very nice cost-quality ratio.

When I started to post photos of models and landscapes, I used my own profile in Facebook. I just used dedicated albums for each subject.

But I early noticed it wasn’t very good in the end, for the client side (as if I had a client side back then).

So I knew about Facebook pages and created one. Now, I only post “work” in my page, nothing really personal. Maybe a few selfies here and there, when someone catches me shooting or so.

I prefer to split it up and have the possibility to share links and photos between my page and my personal profile when I want to.

I use several drive services like Google Drive, One Drive, and even Dropbox if needed.

Now, I do share the folders to whoever has the link, they are not exactly public, but depending on the context and client / final user, they can share among themselves. Imagine a wedding where I send the photos to the bride and groom. They are free to share that link with the guests if they want. I have the photos for sale in my website anyway (print sales, not digital downloads or whatever).

This is more than enough and everyone can open and download the photos with quality and not worrying about spamming or sharing your email.

Why are people suggesting you to destroy the hard drives? Assuming you will donate the computer, it will require the hard drives with it to be usable.

Check this tool. You will need a low level format. Problem solved without damaging anything. Hard drives will be usable and data on them will be unrecoverable.

Sorry for you uncle.

If you have his email adress and access to password, its a starting point.

Now, to access the smartphones themselves, you will need the 4 number pin. At least in Portugal, mobile phones require a 4 digit pin to unlock when powered on. Then, finger print, pattern or face recognition to unlock and reach the “desktop” and icons and photos.

Mobile operators usually provide the 4 digit pin for the sim card, and they also provide a PUK number to insert after you insert an incorrect pin for a few times, usually 3.

So if you have the original boxes or smartphones documentation, search for the sim cards documentation with them. Take them to the operator store in person and ask them if they can unlock the smartphones.

Accessing the email, by resetting the password, may send a confirmation or code to one of those smartphones; but you will need them unlocked first. So first you should worry about unlocking the mobile phones, then, the emails.

I wish you best of luck!

For domestic prints, don’t worry about color profiles or setting any other micro-detail. Just crop the photo to the same aspect ratio. Do not bother calculating the print size vs pixel size. Use all the resolution your photo has, and the RIP and print process will do the rest for you.

For a good quality print, use photo paper, gloss or mate, but the specific settings will depend on the printer itself and from which software you are printing too.

I work in the printing business for large format vinyl, paper and mesh prints. I rarely worry about a photo color profile. Even with a big printer and RIP software, the images are printed with great colors.

And this reminds me, set your monitor colors to neutral. Do not use “warm” or “cold” color schemes in the monitor menu. Use your operating system color calibration utility and you"re set.

My current motherboard is the Asus PRIME H610M-K D4. The previous motherboard was a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P. The issue happens with both.

Yes, when I had the other mb I tried a bunch of several connectors, sata power, flipping cables through different drives, you name it. Now I am using an M.2 NVMe so its one less sata power needed. The previous arranjement was an SSD but sata-powered. Plus the 4 sata drives. All worked together. Whenever I wanted to plug a 6th drive or the Hard drive bay, didn’t work. I had to unplug one of the others.

With the Asus mb, which has only 4 sata ports, I can’t connect a 5th sata device. So I also feel this is mb issue. This mb has less USB ports so I got a 7 port PCIe card, but it needs power from a sata cable. USB devices plugged there… They just don’t work. Unless I unplug one sata drive.

Still searching…

Thing is… My previous motherboard had 6 sata connectors so I assume it should have been able to connect 6 sata drives. But I never made them all work at once.

So, this happens with my current motherboard, but also with my previous one.

I guess there is something I can install or update? Maybe firmware or any utility?

Every physical connection was changed - from motherboard to power cables (new PSU) and the problem persists. Maybe both motherboards need the same adjustment?

I’m using Windows 11, upgraded from 10 recently.

There’s just too many blanks here for people to be able to help you.

What kind of programs do you use? Video editing? I’m sure not.

Anyway, do what other people said. There are many “show me where the disk space is” kind of programs. I use Tree Size Free, it shows an explorer-similar view with a graphical interface, and sorts the folders by size in disk.

But even with this type of programs, you may not know how you went from 90 GB free, to 62 GB.

You need to tell us more of how you are using your computer, what did you do the day before, and what did you do after.

I charge 100 eur for the booking, and the remaining they can pay in several parcels or all at once at the end of the day, whatever.

Most annoying that happened, I talked to the bride and groom, they were about to book their day with me, and we talked about a second meeting where I would take my digital albums so they can take a look and choose one of their liking. They told me someone has offered them the photography service. I hadn’t booked the day yet, but is still annoying.

Another time, I was asked by a model I know to shoot her wedding as 2nd shooter. The pay would be a dinner. Yes, she wanted to pay my *secondary* work with a meal.

Well, I am sure the main photographer did charge her wedding, but the nerve to ask me to shoot the wedding and get paid with food was outrageus. I told her a round “no, thank you, I can’t” even tough she reminded me of the several shoots we had (not many, I think two, and she was always bailing out of her pregnant shoot I was willing to do her for free).

Reset your phone to factory settings. Problem solved.

I once bought a bluetooth hands-free for my calls. The voice-over is nice and pleasant, but the handle broke so it doesn’t stay still on the ear anymore. I bought another one. Now this voice is kind weird and most likely is the one you are refering, she says “connected” with such a toned voice I found a bit unpleasant to hear.

Recently I bought a pair of bluetooth headphones and guess… It plays the same woman… Damm… Should be the first one, much more pleasant… I think I may buy another one of the same model (or maker) of the first headset I got.

It actually depends on the scenario and lighting position. And personal taste.

If you like and have the chance to shoot with some light, and if they wear white umbrellas, you can get a nice luminous image. A bit of glow, but thats part of the magic in the scene.

If they have black umbrellas, they can contrast better with the sky; unless the sky is dark too.

There’s a few variables here, and some you can’t control like the weather specifics.

Both have the ability to provide great photos in the end.

Block them in your social media.

Ask them for that point in the contract, if any.

If they don’t change, you must take the leap and stop living sad. Search for other job, where you can freely do what you want to do. Gather a few bucks in that job while you search, but think outside the box… Nobody can stop you from posting on YOUR pages, YOUR personal work and free time photos, YOUR style. If you let them do it, you are already bending to their will, and now it may be harsh to turn it around.

Just be clear with them, or follow up the suggestions here. Shoot anything they will surely dislike and post. Make them taste their own rules…

uTorrent never downloaded “extra” content, provided it is downloaded from official sources. As it is very popular, its normal for someone to download it from somewhere else and bringing malware with it.

Anyway, BIN files are image files for DVDs and CDs. They are usually paired with a CUE file with the same name. Both files are readable by these softwares:

- NTI Dragon Burn

- Roxio Creator NXT Pro

- DT Soft DAEMON Tools

- Smart Projects IsoBuster

- PowerISO

You can then mount that bin file, that is, simulate you have a real disk inserted into your computer, but its just opening the bin file as a virtual drive. This allows you to run whatever software or setup files it has inside

Can you try with different parts? Like another ram module? If you have two of them, remove one and try. If it happens, change the memory for the unused one, leave the used outside. If still happens, try another hard drive, even an old one, just to check.
