Fixed Bluetooth interference between Logitech MX Master 2S and Sony BT speaker

Turned on and connected the speaker first, then connected the mouse. I'm guess the mouse is much smarter about choosing an alternate frequency channel that avoids what the speaker was already using. I doubt the speaker has that kind of smarts built in.

Error 0x80070032 when trying to copy files

Suddenly when trying to copy files from my Win10 computer to a QNAP NAS device I was getting error 0x80070032. 

I tried everything I could think of and then had a 45min chat session with QNAP tech support. 1000 points to QNAP they solved the problem. Apparently a particular update along the way changed an important Samba setting. The fix was to SSH into the NAS device and the run the following two commands:

/sbin/setcfg Samba ADS NO

/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart

(the tech used PuTTY to SSH in)

Basically this allowed the transfer of a file without properties. I'm guessing the files that weren't copying (only some of them) had extra sidecar information that was causing Samba to reject the file (old XMP files or Mac files?).

Sony A7iii PlayMemories focus

Normally I'm a back button focuser so I couldn't get the app to work at first.

I had to go the menu and turn back on the focus with shutter option. Then in single photo mode I hold down the button until I get the green light and then when I release I get a single photo.

How to setup Sony A7iii for reliable wifi connection

Sooooo helpful!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bP9F4uHZkI

Key insights:

• Setup to always connect under Control with phone
• And DO NOT use the QR code. Use the password setting instead.

Sony A7iii, bluetooth

Totally not intuitive. It appears Bluetooth is only used for the function where is sends GPS data from your phone to your camera. So you have to go to Location Information Linkage in the PlayMemories Mobile app first and pair the camera there in order to get Bluetooth pairing working.  Annoying.

Then you have to go to the Network2 menu and go to Loc. Info. Link Set. and turn that one. Nicely it appears that it will auto-correct for the timezone which is great.

Data recovery recommendations

"If that doesn’t work, $300 hard drive recovery is the next best option. Drive Savers would be the last option. If the drive hasn’t been submerged or physically damaged then the $300 folks are pretty good. I’ve used them before when Drive savers quoted me $1500 for the same thing.

https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/

If the platter needs to be removed and data accessed in a clean room then Drive Savers is the best option. That’s often not the case and you can get your data for a lot less."
