3D Touch is also nice. It is actually an another dimension of the user interface. Interface of 6S now react on how hard you push. It may be simple context menu or preview/open depend on force of a touch.

No Comments on WD Red NAS Hard Drive 4TB

After 2.5 years of usage, my old backup drive (Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB) failed. Drive usage was minimal, but it was on 24/7. New disk decided to be NAS specialized 4.0 TB. Since I believe, it will be backup for this and next generation of home storage. I hope it will serve more than 2.5 year. So this time disk is WD Red NAS Hard Drive 4.0 TB WD40EFRX.

Before start using it as eSATA backup did some speed tests using USB 3.0 connection to Windows 7 PC.

3 Comments on Weather station that always show 203 RH

Relative Humidity Sensor. Detail in weather stations that live only about couple of years. It looks like:

Size may vary. It may have different number of black lines but it always work same way and got broken same way. Special coating on sensor getting old and disappear. When it happened there is always RH=20% on weather station display. Why not RH=0%? Because this type of sensors cannot measure RH lower than 20%. Therefore, when it got broken there is ~20% RH on display.

RH Sensor must be replaced to fix the issue.

No Comments on 5 year old Ink Jet Prints

Did some test prints about 5 years ago (September 2010) using Ink Jet Printer. Prints was stored inside room without album and with minor expose to sunlight. There is an adhesive tape on a left bottom corner of each photo. To see how impact light compare to air contact. Also top left corner was immersed in water.

Original photo.

Printed using: Canon PIXMA iP1900.

5 Years old prints:
Print on HP Premium Premium Plus photo paper. 0.40 $

Print on Canon Photo Paper Plus II (PP-201) 0.24$

Print on Canon Photo Pro (PR-101) ~ 1$ (not available now)
