    Can I use a single 8 gb stick of memory?

    You'll probably benefit from 16gb vs 8gb anyway so it worked out

    Jacket-pocketable, APS-C, up to 75mm eq. focal length?

    You can also use focus peaking which makes manual focus really easy

    Anyone into Yongnuo strobes?

    My neighbor, who's a wedding photographer, has a few. They feel solid, like better quality than my Sigma. They're also significantly cheaper and have more advanced features like manual zoom and manual power control.

    Picking up a used A7

    I have a 70-210 f4 beercan and I think it's overrated. Modern lenses have better coatings etc

    I'm drowning in photos

    That's not a lot. I have terabytes of photos. You don't need to delete any. Hard drive space is cheap! Just get Lightroom and use that to sort. You have several options. You can take each day's photos, or each folder, or whatever, and put it in a collection set. Then delete from that set...

    Which mouse (min. DPI?) for 4K resolution/monitor?

    I suggest one of the Roccat Kone mice. No matter which gaming mouse you go with, you'll probably end up with one that goes up to 8200 DPI

    Is it a safe assumption that modern graphics cards support s-video out over VGA?

    It might damage the video card or the TV though

    If you moved on from 5760 x 1080, where would you go?

    2560x1440. I had a 2560x1600 monitor and it was too tall

    How important is a stand for an Ipad air case?

    If you need a stand to view TV shows etc on it, then you need a stand. No one can tell you how important it is because nobody knows how you use your iPad

    Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    Every single time I've had someone try to merge onto my car, my instinct has been to accelerate to get out of the way. Braking might be better, but in a situation like that you don't have time to reason out the possibilities. If your instinct says to speed up, and your vehicle is too slow to get...

    Why No One Will Sell You The Bike You Want.

    For a couple weeks I had a Nissan Altima rental car. Often I'd pull out from a stop and be unable to accelerate to the speed of traffic, meaning the approaching cars had to brake for me. There's a pretty high chance in such a situation that you'll be hit by an inattentive driver, which is bad in...
