Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.

Yup. /r/Datahoarder guided me right. Got two of the recommended model of MyBook and shucked them. This was 2-3 years ago. Disks are still going strong in my NAS.

Along with the termination of perpetual licensing, Broadcom has also decided to discontinue the Free ESXi Hypervisor, marking it as EOGA (End of General Availability).

Hello ProxMox here I come!

You can set the camera to store the pictures as JPEG. I am happy with JPEG for my holiday photos. Just check that you have the best quality setting since JPEG uses lossy compression.

While HEIF is not the doomsday thing some describes it as, it currently is somewhat problematic.

There are for example problems, originating in differences in implementation between different hardware vendors, with 10-bit and HDR.

I replied to a statement about Heif being an Apple image format. It is not.

Furthermore, HEIF is something that most major mobile device vendors support. Some, like Samsung, even sets it as default on some of their devices. So the whole “Apple always supporting not open standards” is just tiresome at this point.

99.999% of all Android users are defacto locked in by Google. Yes, Android might be open but Play services are not. Google works hard to lock in Android users.

At least Apple are open and honest about locking in iOS users.

What device/ Operating System are you trying to watch the images on?

No.

It’s a container for image data developed by Moving Picture Experts Group (“MPEG”, try to guess what else they have created).

While there are some compatibility issues between vendors HEIC still offers a greater set of features as compared to fx JFIF (you probably know it as JPEG/JPG.

Apple was one of the early adopters (2017) and (as usual?) the industry has followed. Microsoft wants money for the codec in Windows and that’s probably one of the reasons why it’s not commonly used…yet.
