« Last post by Bent Hjarbo on Today at 11:36:30 »Reviving this thread. Curious how are you all storing your photos in 2025? SSD, Cloud etc? Do you have primary and backup?At home I use an NAS for storage and working space. It makes a backup every midnight to a local HDD
The backup is done to a Norwegian company Jottacloud, this just to make sure that fire og robbery won't get my images.
The Mac have an SSD and I also use a couple of SSD for expansion of the internal HD (SSD).
The NAS run in a RAID mode so one disk failure won't disrupt the storage, just plug in a new HDD, and I have used this a couple of times. Last time a second HDD failed during rebuild , then the external backup came into use.

These solid state devices lose data in a different manner -- they become completely unreadable, literally bricked -- than a spinning HDD, which in many instances can have data extracted either by recovery software, or failing that, by manual dissambly of the platters in a laboratory. The latter is horribly expensive, though.
You should read these thumb drives/memory sticks. If only to discover what they have hidden in form of forgotten images.

« Last post by Fons Baerken on Today at 08:55:56 »I shot this image at an exhibition because I loved the outfit and the context. Because I do not have the permission to publish the face of a stranger, I asked the AI "Gemini Nano Banana" to exchange the face and leave the rest.
Here is the hybrid result.
Now the problem I see is: Do I have the right to publish a photo online with a prominent painting in the backgroud?

« Last post by Hans_S on Today at 04:59:40 »Nice catch. Would you propose a name for this new species ?Bruno, I suspect the upper one may be a "UFOium Immaturum". The lower one is a "Coatingii Inadequatus", a common species often captured by old glass.
