Rich's complaints with Windows are almost always about "problems" that
only he experiences.

See my other reply on this. I remembered that this happened to me,
too, and then I remembered what caused it.

There are many optional settings in Windows OS. The Search option on the
sign-in screen that you've described doesn't exist on any of my Win10
machines because I have disabled as much of Cortana as possible. If
Cortana is active in your account, one can reasonably expect that
clicking on a search option will activate Bing since that is MS' search
engine.

Yep, it's active on mine, but I don't really care. It doesn't get in
the way, and I don't intentionally use it.

One flip-side is that Rich initiates more photo-related topics than
almost anyone else (most of those I ignore, too, btw).

He does seem to take a beating around here that I don't understand,
although I suppose there is some history that I'm not aware of. Even
though his photo related posts seem to reliably bash something or
other, even those negative posts can be quite useful.

That, combined
with his use of Windows OS could arguably make even the "OT" comments
relevant to this ng, since it is not a stretch to think that he's using
the OS for his photos, and any (real) OS problem could affect that use.

I agree, but then I've done the same thing - posting about Windows
issues, and there are a few others. I can't imagine that there is
anyone here who does not use a computer heavily for photo work.

It's not easy to work on digital images without a computer! ;-)

As I see it, the issue is not so much posting about OS problems in this
ng, it's verifying that it is a real problem before stating that it is,
as in the subject line for this thread. IMO, such claims should be
corrected to avert undue concerns by other users of the OS.

Yeah, the subject line might have been a bit overdone.

My reason for participating in Rich's topic is to give voice to those
who realize that these are not OS problems at all, but unique to his
computer. So, those who do photography and use Windows OS need not be
concerned about such non-existent "scam" issues.



While I use both my Win7 & Win 10 machines primarily for photography, I
also use both for other purposes, and have never had the issue RichA
describes. I put the machines in sleep mode. When I wake them, they are
in the same state.

there is, who shoots film and processes it in a darkroom.

I remembered that there was at least one person who shoots film, but I
also thought - for no good reason - that he also scanned and worked on
those images, too. But maybe not.

scanning a few photos is not 'use a computer heavily'.

he also stated he uses his computer to run his business, not for photo
work, which is not surprising since he uses linux and there aren't any
photo apps that are suitable for anything beyond casual tweaks, and
even that is a stretch.

If you learn the meaning of capitalization your ridiculous comment would
not even be witty by your standards.

Then this is not the group for them.

connect it to a larger display when needed, same as with a laptop.

straw man.

Not at all. You seem to be arguing that small size is not an issue. I
merely confronted you with the limit case.

it is.

it isn't.

hundreds of millions of people edit photos every single day on displays
that are 13" or smaller (usually *much* smaller), and it wasn't that
long ago that 13" was not even considered small.

and as i said, you can always attach a larger display when desired.

I merely confronted you with the limit case.

because you want to argue.

your 'limit case' is an impossibility.

How about PS or LR for an iPhone?

How about for a 4s?

you're still missing the point, as usual.

what about it?

the current versions of adobe's apps won't run on it anymore but older
versions did.
