Iwill still be running Time Machine and making off-site backups via Backblaze and a set of external USB hard drives that I store elsewhere, but internal, nightly clones mean I can recover from a drive failure more quickly than ever before.

Opened up the tower to check on dust collection. There was a slight collection on the fan blades already, but especially the blower that sits beneath the RAM slots. Some compressed air took care of it quickly.


The post-install process was also pretty straightforward, but a little scary. I had to hook up my Mac Pro to my MacBook Pro over USB-C and restore its firmware using Apple Configurator. I was pretty nervous about this going wrong, but it only took a few moments. Then, I installed macOS and migrated my data to the new 8 TB volume.


One of these drives was my volume for old Apple software and other tech tools; the other was its nightly clone. Now, I am running the two drives in RAID 1, so they are a mirror of each other, showing up as one volume in macOS. The files on this volume are being backed up to Backblaze as well as my off-site backup drives, which I update every month or so.


Android Beta for Pixel offers you a simple way to try pre-release versions of Android, and test drive our new features. The feedback you provide will help us identify and fix issues, and make the platform even better. Enrolled devices will automatically receive updates for the latest beta version of Android. Learn more about eligible devices.


You will not be able to unenroll and revert back to a stable public version of Android without first wiping all locally saved data on your device. You may also encounter issues restoring a backup. We recommend reviewing the latest release notes for Pixel phones before enrolling in Android Beta.


Your device eligibility and current build determine which program options are available for enrollment. Devices on a public stable build will see multiple program options to select from when more than one beta program is available.


Important: If, after opting out, you only see one program option to enroll in, you will need to first apply the stable public version (will require a data wipe) in order to see multiple enrollment options. This only applies when more than one beta program is available.


View devices to find the device you want to switch and click Opt out. Your device will receive an update within 24 hours that will wipe all user data and install the latest stable public version of Android. Once you install the public update, your device is ready to enroll in another beta program.


Important: Your device may get automatically removed from the beta program it is enrolled in and either get moved to the public release track or to another beta program track for the following reasons:


Panasonic's patented Quad Pixel drive technology represents a significant leap forward in the world of 4K projectors, offering a unique blend of innovation and performance that stands out in a crowded marketplace. As we delve into the nuances of this patented technology, its benefits and advantages over other 4K projection technologies, it becomes clear why Panasonic Connect is at the forefront of creating the ultimate immersive 4K viewing experience.


Another significant advantage of Quad Pixel Drive technology is its flexibility. Because the system can upscale 2K content to 4K resolution, users have a wider range of media that can be displayed with improved clarity. This is especially beneficial in situations where 4K content is limited or unavailable, ensuring that even standard definition content looks better than ever before. Additionally, the technology supports a variety of input sources and formats, making it a versatile solution for different applications.


Finally, Quad Pixel Drive technology represents a cost-effective solution for achieving high-resolution projection. By enabling 2K content to be displayed with the equivalent of 4K resolution, it extends the usability of existing media and equipment. This means that users can enjoy the benefits of 4K projection without the need to invest in content or hardware.


As imaging technology advances, modality devices are reproducing such high resolution that even current 5MP monitors are unable to reproduce, creating a bottleneck in softcopy diagnostic environment. Independent Sub pixels Drive technology* to accept higher resolution output from modality devices as a major breakthrough.


Resolution of modality devices has already achieved a pixel size of approximately 25 to 100μm and a pixel number of 4 to 67 mega-pixels (MP). However, even 5MP Monitors with 165μm that can provide the current maximum resolution, still do not have enough resolution properties to meet the modality devices resolution.


When an image is captured by a modality device, most times the native resolution is higher than the resolution that monitor is able to reproduce. Consequently, either the overall image is converted to a lower resolution image with reduced quality, which is executed by viewer software (sub-sampling processing) or only a portion of the image is depicted with the original resolution. Fig.1 shows that the overall image is depicted on the monitor by only 31% of the information contained in the original image.


Fig. 2 shows mechanism of resolution enhancement by the Independent Sub pixel Drive and comparison of captured images on a conventional monitor and a monitor with Independent Sub pixel Drive technology. By the Independent Sub pixel Drive function, the image is depicted more accurately.


Fig. 3 and 4 show captured images on a conventional 5MP LCD and MS-S500 that was developed out of a conventional 5MP LCD with Independent Sub pixel Drive technology. The depiction detail was greatly improved on MS-S500 and Fig. 4 shows its excellent depiction ability of the micro calcifications, especially the edges.


Fig. 5 shows the comparison of measured MTFs of the conventional 5MP LCD and MS-S500 that employ the same LCD panels of 5MP. As shown in the graph, the MTF of MS-S500 was improved obviously by the Independent Sub pixel Drive function.


While image quality of the medical monitors such as luminance, contrast, viewing angle, and grayscale features has been improved, resolution enhancement was not actualized because of its cost.

From the physical measurements and perceptual comparisons, this new resolution enhancement technology by the Independent Sub pixel Drive, which actualizes excellent depiction ability inexpensively, would be very important in softcopy diagnostic environment.


A1 No. JVC's sub-pixel technology is driven by activating additional horizontal sub-pixels, thereby increasing the density of the image (three-fold), while the aspect ratio of the native image remains the same.


A3 As the ISD display employs the existing LCD panel used in conventional LCDs, the overall luminance or contrast is basically the same as conventional LCDs. However, because the sampling density from the original image has changed, the luminance at the micro level is changed.


I took some photos with lens cap on, for the test purposes. I will share RAW .CR3 files. Could you please check them and tell if its a normal behavior or I need to contact Canon Service for the repair? This is my first ever camera and I am a little bit worried regarding this issue right now. Also if there someone have R6 could you please share your RAW files with long exposures with lens cap on for comparing?


And no, I don't think you will need to send your R6 to Canon Service. Will you ever have a problem with bad pixels? If you see them in daylight you perform a sensor cleaning or remove them in your software in post with just one click.


My main question is - does the amount of seen broken pixels in my photos are ''Normal' or are there too much of them so I need to service my camera. Sensor cleaning feature does nothing to minimize those broken pixels for me.


Removing hot pixels. Its possible some can be removed by re-mapping, but I would not count on a night and day difference. You can check with support to see if this is possible on the R6 and what result you might expect. I believe the improvement could be fairly limited. @Peter and @Waddizzle's advice would probably help the most.


I contacted Canon Service and they told me that this is a warranty case. And they will first try to map them out and if it not works then they will replace CMOS sensor. To be honest its kinda pity and disappointment that I bought brand new expensive camera and just after one week of use found that it needs to be already repaired. Is there any quality control at all there in Canon factory to check such things?


Maybe someone has R6 and could share some CR3 RAWs made with lens cap on (black frame) and with 30s, 10s, 5s and 1s ISO 3200 (LENR OFF)? I just want to compare how bad is my sensor comparing to others.


I have a Pixie8, firmware Ver 1.04. There are no jumpers connected to any of the pins. The printing on the board says Pixie8D V4.

I've connected 4 strings of 100 pixels to my Pixie8. The strings are connected to ports 1, 2, 5 and 6. Only the 1st 50 in each string light up. With the HU, selecting All Ports 50 Pixels Per Port, the 1st 50 in each string light up. Selecting 100 Pixels Per Port, the 1st 50 in each string light up. If I select Port 1, 100 Pixels Per Port, the 1st 50 on Port 1 light up and the 1st 50 on Port 2 light up.


I just went through the same thing, the pixie8 is defaulted to 50 lights per string,. And it behaved exactly as you said when set to 50 pixels. However, once I made the change to 100 pixels, and set them all on, it worked and from then on, it has worked perfect. Mine is also 8D v4. Make sure the hardware utility is saving the change to the pixie.
