Re: Pentax lenses I want

[P. J. Alling]

The problem with small light autofocus lenses is once you put the 
autofocus motor in the lens it's no longer small.  They can be smallish, 
but I would hate to see a 43mm limited with a built in AF motor.  It 
would have to be much bigger.

Dear Mark, you would have noticed that in the Film SLR days ALL Pentax
Lenses were Full Frame. Even the SLR themselves were pretty small and
petite looking.
And these Lenses were as large or as small as the DA Lenses on the
current crop of APSC DSLRs.
So why NOT design all Lenses as Full Frame?
This would have kept design and manufacturing efforts and costs down.
Now please don't start searching for a Technical reason why this is
detrimental to Photography.
I just responded to your thread "I want a full-frame version of this lens".
As for Lenses I am a zoom lover - covered between 10 & 300 mm as I am
not into wild life, nature or sports photography - so do not need
longer lenses. No GAS.
Now all my Zooms are brutally sharp.
How do I assure this?? Simple: I will go on buying lenses till I find
the sharpest one. That's the Keeper.
I do have some Prime Lenses because of their f1.2 or f1.4 Apertures
for special Low Light Photography or DOF needs.
Thanks for reading.

Re: I hate Google, more and more every day.

[Igor PDML-StR]

For many years, I've been using name.com for registering my own domain 
name. It costs some $11-14 per year for .org and .com domains.


P.J.: if it is the spamvertised URL that is the culprit (which I am not 
that sure about, as most typical blocklists do not take that into 
account), then with your own domain, you should not get into that trouble.


In general, with big giants, like Google, Yahoo, and some ISPs, it is 
often hard to get a resolution quickly (or at all), - as they are all 
behind thick walls, and choose what they want to do. Over almost 
a quarter-of-century, I've been dealing with such incidents for Komkon 
servers (Komkon hosts PUG). Some are easier to deal with than others.
Out of some 15-20 incidents, only about 2-4 had a reason, the rest were 
false positives.


The worst case was some 10 years ago, when one of the major antivirus (AV) 
makers (used by many malware-detecting scanners)  added a malware 
signature that was matching a relatively popular programming library used 
by software developers. As a result, some benign program available for 
download from one of the sites hosted by Komkon was flagged by all those 
anti-malware services. It took some time for that AV maker to fix that 
problem in the engine, and then it took some additional time for that to 
propagate to all different scanners and BL's.


While some of those scanners have whitelisted us manually upon contact, 
the rest were unresponsive, so it took up to 2 weeks to mitigate that 
situation. The worst part was that our own upstream ISP blocked our IP 
from the Internet to prevent the distribution of that presumed malware.
IIRC, that complicated communication with all those BLs', as some of them 
wanted to receive communication from the listed IP (to confirm IP 
ownership), or something like that.



As for Google, - its penetration is too big. And we, being a part of the 
their product (as opposed to being customers), have practically no 
power over them.
At my home, so far, we have no "smart"/IOT appliances (except for 
smartphones), not even Alexa. But I don't know how far we are 
from the day when the "dumb" appliances (that just do their original 
function, e.g. keep things cold, wash your clothes or show TV broadcast) 
are no longer produced.

Do I want my pot texting my kettle?

(A scare thought: What if the next generation of DSLRs will start 
"sexting" Smart TVs something akin Cotty's camera porn? ;-) Brrr! )



Cheers,

Igor

Re: PESO - She's got legs. [and a test]

[John]

I use a Mozilla browser called Pale Moon and it didn't give me any problems 
seeing the image - no warnings no fuss. That's the browser where I have NoScript 
installed.


I have Firefox as a backup browser because there are some sites I need to access 
where NoScript doesn't work or won't allow necessary functions to work.


Larry's message made me check what happened with Firefox, and I get the big red 
screen ... but I got something else weird, even before I pasted the tinyurl into 
the address bar. There was a red banner across the top of the screen that says:


"- The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of 
Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can 
cause this problem."


https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?redirectlocale=en-US&as=u&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&utm_source=inproduct

*IF* Google has eaten my bookmarks, I'm going to be *PISSED OFF!*

The first suggested "fix" is to restart your computer. I had just restarted 
before I logged on to read email (PDML).


..

Shut it all down and restarted again and opened Firefox first. My bookmarks are 
back, but I'm still mad at Google about it.


The tinyurl does still trigger the deceptive site warning in Firefox.

If you click the [See details] button there's a link where you can _report a 
detection problem_. I used it to notify Google they've got a FALSE warning for 
pdml.updog ... Hope that will help.


Maybe if the rest of PDML also took the time you'll get your website back ...
