Let's not pretend Microsoft is trying to do anything else but make more money with the TPM requirement.

  1. Carsharing is not the same thing as ride sharing. Carsharing (basically short term car rental paid by the hour/km) is an option anywhere. My girlfriend and I have used this widely in our nature adventures in Europe.

  2. I am talking about possibilities of how we could reform our system and thinking, not the real life situation. Nonetheless, a taxi (ride sharing) is still a viable option in large parts of the world and the US.

  3. Your attitude is unnecessarily hostile so I will shut this conversation down. Thank you for your time.

An alternative in this case is carsharing or taxis. Car ownership is a big issue, for every carsharing car you can get rid of up to 10 vehicles.

I got a home scanner, a Reflecta Crystalscan 7200 (known as Pacific Image PrimeFilm 7200 in the U.S.). It's a dedicated 35mm film scanner that should be a bit on the lower-end of the spectrum. I have been using it to re-scan some negatives, on the left you can see (a small part of) a scan I made with SilverFast SE 9, without doing any post production. On the right you can see the scan the lab sent me.

To be honest I am quite blown away and find it it very unexpected that the home scanner seems to do a much better job. The colors seem accurate to me (on an auto profile). The resolution appears quite a bit higher, even though both images have the same dimensions and the image seems sharper! And I haven't even used this scanner at the highest resolution, this is a 2400 dpi scan.

What do you think?
