Shoo cat off keyboard; erase excess text -- nm - Max Mar 6, 20:27 1
- Another reason to film in the garage, the cats won't go there. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:27
I use less than 5 steps. You are an over thinker -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:18 15
- Wait after reading that list, you are an under thinker and not prepared -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:18 14
  - Laptop HD is 256GB, but I only have 3GB free. Heh. And I've only got 3 months of photos on it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:22 11
    - How big is 3 months of photos, you ask? 72 gigabytes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:25 8
      - HOLY CRAP! -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:25 7
        
        Each photo is around 24MB in RAW, plus if I turn them into panoramas, that copies them into a combined file of 75-300MB (depending on how many photos) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:26 6
        
        You need an external 10TB HD to move them over there -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:27 5
        
        Yes, very much. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:27 4
        
        What would be cheaper that or renting cloud storage? -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:28 3
        
        The HD, for sure. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:28 2
        
        (I currently copy all my photos to a 3TB HD, and then sync them to a cloud storage provider. One on-site backup, and one off-site.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:29 1
        
        I have some cloud storage with my Microsoft Office subscription. I need to start using that. -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:33
    - Put all your video on an external HD -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:24 1
      - (and yes it will be slower, but still faster than using only that little bit you have) -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 20:25
  - In this case I don't have the space to be prepared. I need to buy a place for recording. - Beryllium Mar 6, 20:20 1
    - You just described my main reason for buying our house. Each house we looked at had to have the right dimensions for my youtube studio. - Bacon Mar 6, 20:23
