On this week's show we look at a Ford Motor patent that has potential implications for home entertainment. We preview a potential Homepod 3 and we finish off with a listener review of DirecTV MySports. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news News: Bundle of Disney+, Hulu and Max Has a Strong Hold on Viewers NESN 360 slashing price by nearly $100 per year Roku Channel reveals MLB Sunday Leadoff schedule for 2025 Others: What Does Q Think? - YouTube Ford Seeks Patent For Multi-Vehicle Audio System Big tech companies like Apple file patents all the time. Some of these, like Apple's patent for an AirPods case with a built-in display, or the one for an iPhone that folds in half, could easily become products if Apple thinks they'll make money. But sometimes, these patents outline technologies that seem impossible, or at least unlikely. Full Story …  Apple HomePod 3: Everything We Know So Far (From Tom's Guide)  Apple is anticipated to launch the HomePod 3 later in 2025, marking a significant upgrade from its predecessors. Key rumored features include the introduction of a touchscreen, which could position it against competitors like Amazon and Google's smart displays.  Full article here… Rumored Release Date: Analysts speculate that the HomePod 3 could be unveiled in either spring or summer 2025. However, there are rumors of a possible delay to the third quarter, coinciding with Apple's WWDC. Potential Price: No official pricing information has been released, but the current HomePod 2 retails for $299. Given the competitive landscape, analysts speculate the HomePod 3 might be priced around $249, but if bundled with accessories, the total could elevate to $499 or more. Display and Design: The standout feature of the HomePod 3 is expected to be its 6 to 7-inch OLED display, which would function as a smart home control hub. The device is anticipated to be slightly smaller than an iPad mini and could include a FaceTime camera for video calls and possibly act as a home security camera. Additionally, the HomePod 3 may incorporate presence sensors for smart home automation and feature a new custom-made Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip. Interface:The Apple HomePod 3 is primarily designed as a smart home hub, with an interface focused on controlling HomeKit devices, possibly resembling the Apple TV's layout based on recent code findings. Reports suggest a strong emphasis on security, enabling users to view live feeds from compatible security cameras and interact with visitors, though compatibility with HomeKit remains limited compared to competitors. While the HomePod 3 will prioritize smart home functionality over audio, users will still be able to manage playlists. Interaction will occur through both touch and Siri voice commands for tasks like setting timers and family communication, and the integration of Apple Intelligence will enhance its smart capabilities, the specifics of which are yet to be clarified. What We Want to See: For the HomePod 3, there are several desirable features that users would like to see, starting with a larger interface, as a 6-inch screen feels limited compared to similarly sized smart displays from Amazon that support a variety of streaming services. Users hope for an interface akin to the Echo Hub, which visually represents the layout of a home and displays smart devices in their respective rooms for easier interaction. Additionally, an ambient mode that showcases images from Apple Photos would allow the device to function as a digital photo frame when not in use for controlling smart home devices. If Apple Intelligence is a prominent feature, it is desired that users can create smart home routines effortlessly, such as setting commands to turn on lights and play music simultaneously upon unlocking the front door. Updates regarding the HomePod 3 will follow as more information arises. DirecTV MySports (A Listener Review) Listener Quincy of, What Does Q Think? - YouTube Channel, tried the five day trial of DirecTV's MySports and has written us a brief review.   I tried the 5-day trial of DTV's MySports and it's not bad, but not good enough for me to switch from YouTube TV.  Although I'm paying $84 for YTTV against the 3-month promo price of $50 for DTV, I still love the convenience of YTTV. I won't bore you with a long essay, but in a nutshell I'll list some of my pros/cons. MySports Pros:  The Sports Central section gives you nothing but sports-related material.   You can set your favorite teams and easily follow/record their games as well as hide the scores to avoid spoilers. You also get all of the DTV free streaming channels, so there are over 100 channels available at sign-up (from what I've heard. I didn't count).   You can get 3 months at $49.99/mo. before it goes to the regular price.  Last day for the promo is 2/28. Unlimited DVR will keep your programming for up to 9 months. Two free 4K sports channels. MySports Cons:  The two free 4K sports channels only offer a game or two per week.  Some of them require a subscription to another package. I was only offered two local stations (FOX and NBC), so I have to rely on other apps in order to get ABC and CBS programming.   The screen layout is not bad, but I still see a lot of non-sports stuff on the home page.  You have to go to the Sports Central section to get away from most of that. You can only do a Season Pass/Wishlist for teams in men's sports.  I tried to set a season pass for a women's college basketball team and a WNBA team and it forced me to record the entire league instead of just one specific team. It doesn't have Key Plays/Rapid Replay options to speed you through highlights to catch up to live TV for games. It would only allow me to fast-forward 15 seconds at a time instead of a continuous fast-forward other programs give you when you hold down the FF button. I just felt like I was stepping back into the past by switching to MySports, so I decided against it.  Hopefully, they'll improve and modernize their features a bit.  Although YouTube TV has its faults and a high price, as a sports fan, I love the Key Plays and the ease in finding any sports team or event and setting a season pass/wishlist. -Quincy Ridgeland, Mississippi

This week Apple introduced several of it's new “Apple Intelligence” A.I. features that were touted in June, but finally made it to phones at the tail end of October. The most interesting, and the one that will take AI photo edits mainstream to the masses is “Clean up,” the ability to erase people and distracting objects from your photos, just like you would do with a pencil and paper. However, it's only available to people who have updated their iOS 18 iPhone software and have the iPhone 15 Pro or 16 series phones. So even if you don't have one of these phones, odds are that if you're an iPhone user, you will be upgrading at some point and getting this feature and more in the coming years. Similar tools have been available from Adobe, but at a monthly subscription cost that starts at $9.99 for Photoshop, or Google, via Android phones and the Google Photos app, which has had a confusing rollout. Plus, the Google tools aren't as easy to use and as effective. I've been vocal in my distaste for AI tools from Google that put things easily into photos that were never there in the first place. You could argue that the photo above where I ditched the volleyball net breaks the rule of bending reality into something that's not photography, and you'd be right. But I've been removing distractions like power lines and garbage cans from photos for years, just as so many other photographers have. But it used to be a time-consuming task, one made way easier by Adobe's upgrade of “Generative Fill” in Photoshop in 2023. And now, thanks to Apple, it's even simpler, more effective and available to the masses for free. Reader beware: Sometimes you can get rid of the person in the shot, but not their pesky shadow!How Apple Intelligence Clean Up worksTake the photo, open it up in Apple Photos on your phone, (late models iPad with the A17 chip, and M1 Macs with Sequoia installed) and click Edit. There you will see a new tab added to select the Clean Up feature. Put your finger over the objects you want to get rid of, and watch them disappear. If you don't get it right, try again until you do. Most times it works really well—but when I tried to get rid of a post-Halloween skeleton sitting on a beach chair, all those bones were too much for the A.I. I didn't undertake a complete Photoshop vs. Apple Intelligence test, but Petapixel, the online website that covers photography did, and the results favored the new player. For Android fans, if you haven't already, check out the Magic Eraser in Google Photos. When I said the rollout was confusing, here's why. First it was only available for Android users, then it was brought to the iPhone as well, but only if you subscribed to Google One, Google's backup subscription program. However, in April, 2024 it opened it up to everyone. The process is similar: open photo, select tools, look for Magic Eraser and then erase the person or object with your finger. Have fun playing around and let me know your thoughts. New MacsApple also introduced several new, more powerful Mac computers this week. The headline was that they were equipped with “Apple Intelligence” those silly e-mail summaries, professional writing cleanup and more chatty and smarter (supposedly) Siri. Forget about it! What I'm interested is the extra power! The revamped Mac Mini and new iMacs come with the M4 processing chip, which is a big boost from the M1 on the MacBook Pro I bought in 2021 for $2,000. The Mini even has a M4 Pro chip, which is said to be even faster. I use my laptop even more than the phone, a good 10 hours daily, every day of the week, mostly processing photos and editing videos—as well as writing. And it's showing signs of age. So I'll be buying a new one—interesting that the tiny Mini, which appears to be about half the size of the previous model is more powerful than the giant iMac with a 24 inch screen, so it looks like that will be the purchase for me, boosted with 1 Terabyte of storage. Plus a trackpad, keyboard and monitor. ICYMI, here are the specs:Apple's new iMac starts at $1,299, but clocks in at $2,149 once I add the upgrades of extra RAM and storage, plus a Trackpad. The Mini, which again has the M4 Pro chip, which Apple says is faster than the regular M4 chip, starts at $999 for this edition and creeps up to $1,600 with my extra storage, trackpad and keyboard add-ons. I also will need a monitor, which I haven't bought in years, but per Best Buy is in the $100 to $200 range. I'll let you know how it goes. Readers, which, if any, excites you?ChatGPT Search vs. Google. This week, ChatGPT evolved again by offering a chatty A.I. search function that's surprisingly competitive with Google. I did several tests, and most of what I saw was pretty great. But it's not a Google killer, as I saw suggested by Tom's Guide. Not by a mile. For instance, let's start with the link I just placed above. I typed “ChatGPT search vs. Google Tom's Guide” into both, and only Google could provide the link. I asked both what time Photowalks will air on Scripps News Saturday and both got it right, (thank you) at 8 p.m. ET. But only Google could tell me which episode is scheduled (Oregon Coast.)When is that new Tom Hanks movie opening? (It already did, ChatGPT told me. Google didn't seem to know.) Is it playing near me? Here only Google could provide the actual theaters. ChatGPT gave me links to national movie chains and told me to look it up myself. For tips on when to visit Death Valley, California, and where to stay, ChatGPT had lots of good info, vs. Google which offered sponsored links. However, Google's Gemini, its ChatGPT AI competitor, stepped up, and offered relevant, non-sponsored links, with prices. But we know it won't remain that way, as Google will need to monetize Gemini. To try the search, you need to either pay for a ChatGPT subscription or add ChatGPT as a Chrome extension. Once you do that, ChatGPT replaces Google as your default search engine. That was good for a lark on a Friday afternoon, but trust me, I don't think you'll last a few hours with it, now. The chat is great, but the links we're looking for are hard to come by. By the time I finish this sentence, I'm going to delete it. Your thoughts?Thank you Sam!New paid sub Sam signed up this week, with a really nice note.

We kick off our conversation by unpacking Apple's quarterly earnings call, which revealed a revenue of $95 billion—a 6% annual increase. However, a notable twist was the one-time charge of $14.8 billion linked to a European tax case, significantly impacting our discussion on Apple's financial health. We explore the implications of these numbers, considering shifts in iPhone and Mac sales alongside the steady growth of Apple's services sector. Each of us shares insights and reactions, highlighting analyst questions and the predictably guarded responses from Apple's executives. Transitioning from financials to technology advancements, we delve into the recent developments in Apple's Vision Pro.

Chuck and Marty reflect on their experiences and expectations for future enhancements in this space. As the conversation shifts to the beta release of iOS 18.2 later in the show, we cover new features around Apple Intelligence. This includes the introduction of tools like Playground and Genmoji, which allow for creative image manipulation and enhanced user interaction. With so many users eager to explore these new capabilities, Marty sheds light on some of the hurdles he has faced while waiting for access, igniting a candid dialogue about user experience and beta testing frustrations. The excitement continues with discussions about the newly announced Macs. The introduction of the latest iMac and Mac Mini—equipped with the M4 chip—sparks a passionate exchange about their specifications and value as entry-level computers. Chuck expresses his enthusiasm for the Mac Mini's portable design, while Marty shares plans to acquire one for himself. As we reflect on Apple's approach to product announcements, we also touch on how this segmented rollout provides focused attention on individual devices. Additionally, the new MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are unveiled, leading to reflections on their enhanced performance metrics and prolonged battery life. The emphasis shifts to the versatility for both professional and casual users, generating a lively debate about current needs versus future-proofing investments.Lastly, we explore the realm of iOS with the rollout of iOS 18.1, discussing Apple Intelligence enhancements, user interface changes, and how they aim to improve user experience significantly. Jeff and Marty share personal anecdotes about their interactions with the enhancements, including improved Siri capabilities and photo functionalities.

I'm joined by guests Guy Serle, Ben Roethig, and Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet and together we dissect the nuances and impacts of these updates. We kick things off by discussing the recent release of Vision Pro 2.1, the fourth beta update for developers. Both Guy and I notice that the update seems to be lacking significant visible changes. We speculate on the upcoming Mac virtual display support for MLB and MLS games while also acknowledging the essential fixes that the update addresses. Eric, a fellow developer, has opted to roll back to the public beta due to personal usability concerns, exemplifying a trend amongst beta testers. Next, we pivot to the implications of the recent release of Apple's first scripted immersive film, "The Submerged," which promises a unique storytelling experience leveraging the capabilities of the Vision Pro. Although none of us had the opportunity to experience it firsthand, we express excitement about its potential and the importance of regular content updates to retain user engagement. As we transition into our discussion on iOS updates, we emphasize the need for listeners to update to iOS 18.0.1 due to critical bug fixes and security patches. Guy shares his experience with the touchscreen issues on the iPhone 16 models, while I confess my decision to remain on the beta track despite some drawbacks. Our conversation naturally evolves into the new features awaiting users in iOS 18.1, including enhancements to Siri's functionality and new tools for spell-checking and grammar. We also dissect the introduction of wired Xbox controller support in the latest macOS and iOS versions, discussing its significance for gaming enthusiasts. From there, we explore Apple's move toward integrating Apple TV+ into the Amazon Prime Video ecosystem. This highlights Apple's strategy of reaching a broader audience and streamlining access to its content, a move that both Ben and I agree is vital for sustaining Apple TV+ growth. The episode's discourse doesn't shy away from the implications of new features such as satellite messaging capabilities in iOS 18, designed to enhance communication in remote areas. This feature, which allows users to send messages without a traditional cellular connection, sparks a thoughtful debate on the practical applications and potential overuse of such a technology during non-emergency situations. In the latter half of the episode, we touch on the retirement of long-time Apple executive Dan Riccio, reflecting on his contributions and the future of Vision Pro development under Mike Rockwell's leadership. Our conversation culminates with a rundown of compelling Apple TV+ series, including the upcoming season of "Shrinking," and the ongoing impact of shows like "Ted Lasso" and "Slow Horses," highlighting how these productions may shape the conversation around Apple's television strategy. This episode is filled with engaging insights and practical advice on how listeners can leverage the latest Apple technologies while contemplating the future direction of the company and its myriad services. We finish by encouraging our audience to stay connected and share their thoughts as we navigate this expansive technological landscape together.

Is your photo library spread out among different drives and apps? We're not talking about maybe having a couple of Lightroom Classic catalogs—it's not uncommon now for a photographer to have Lightroom libraries, Capture One libraries, Apple Photos libraries, even old iPhoto and Aperture libraries collected over the years. In this episode we welcome back Matthieu Kopp of CYME to talk about version 2.0 of the utility Peakto, which can bring sense to all of that accumulated chaos.

Fire up those buzzers, it's game show time! We have the self proclaimed Mr. Default being challenged by a no-name up and comer. Two will enter. One will leave crowned as Mr. Default 2023.

I'm wearing a blue Atari hoodie. I've got some kind of purple t-shirt on underneath. The sky is overcast. It's a typical British day. The camera's sort-of top down, I'm looking up ever so slightly into it. My sister's stood next to me, she's looking square on at the camera, grey hoodie. My parents – probably my Dad – is taking the pictures. Apple Photos says it's a Panasonic camera. The date's July 31st 2009, 10.30am and 26 seconds. Behind me is Stonehenge. Something about Stonehenge has always fascinated me. What's it for? Who used it and why does it have what feels like an almost magical alignment with the stars? I visited it again for the first time in 14 years last week – took the same photo. Stonehenge is behind. In front of me is Sue. Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site, probably the most sophisticated stone circle in the world. I remember as a kid watching tons of documentaries on Stonehenge, I actually wanted – for a brief fleeting moment – to become an archaeologist. We have no idea what their original thinking was and their purpose might have changed because it took about 500 years to finish it off so during that time people's ideas might have changed. What I love about Stonehenge is that people have lived here, they've used the site, and they've been interested in it for thousands of years. People have also laid their own stories down, their own interpretations. Some of them more historically sound than others, some interpretations more based on facts than fiction, but I think all of them are valid. They didn't write and they didn't leave us any pictures so it's anybody's guess really what they were up to. The stones reminds me of cycles within cycles. The turning of the seasons, the rising and setting of the sun, the tide, high and low. There's quite literally circles within circles at the site. The first evidence that we have of humans in this exact location is some Mesolithic post holes. They're the remains of holes that would have held some very big timber posts. They date back to about 8000 BC. Following that you have the cursus, which is a very very long earthwork which runs all the way along the back of the Stonehenge landscape. That dates to about 3300 BC. And then you have around about 3000 BC the henge monument itself was constructed. The henge is the ditch and bank that goes all the way around the outside of the monument. And then about 500 years later they brought the big stones and started to construct the monument as we see it today. Both times I visited I couldn't help but feel a deep connection with the past, with the recurring patterns that define humankind. Civilisations have risen and fallen, countries formed and forgotten, wars have been fought, won and lost. We've explored the stars! We've come so far as a species and this monument, this magical mysterious monument has been a passive witness to the whole thing. It's unique, it tells us a story about the sophistication of the people which I think when we look back at 5,000 years we may think the people were very primitive but they weren't. They were fabulous mathematicians, they were as clever as we are and how inspired they must have been to have thought of doing something like this. There's a sense of wonder in knowing that this monument has stood for thousands of years and my two photos, 14 years apart, just a very small blip on what hopefully is a very, very long standing future…

“I never metadata I didn't like.” Do we need to spend hours entering metadata for our images? Or do we even care about metadata?

Early days if you want to contribute Brian #5: Blue : The somewhat less uncompromising code formatter than black Suggested by Chris May Code from Black, mods by Grant Jenks and Barry Warsaw It's not a fork, it's a patched version of black. Kind of a “containment over inheritance” thing. Deltas: blue defaults to single-quoted strings. except docstrings and triple quoted strings (TQS). Those are still double quotes. blue defaults to line lengths of 79 characters. black is 88. line lengths are customizable with all related tools. blue preserves the whitespace before the hash mark for right hanging comments. making comment blocks off to the side possible blue supports multiple config files: pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, tox.ini, and .blue. Interesting quote from the docs: “We'd prefer not to fork or monkeypatch. Instead, our hope is that eventually we'll be able to work with the black maintainers to add just a little bit of configuration and merge back into the black project. “ My take Probably stick with black most of the time. For some large exiting projects with lots of strings that have standardized to single quote strings already, black is jarring. Also, strings with double quotes in them are untouched by black, so if you have lots of those, strings will be inconsistent, making the code harder to read and confusing to maintain. And the choice isn't really black or blue. It's often nothing due to the non-starter of switching to double quote strings by default. blue is better than nothing.

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support It's 2018 and I've just purchased a Doxie portable scanner on the recommendation of Ryan. Although it won't happen for another two years, my family are gearing up to move house and I am systematically scanning then permanently destroying every bit of paper I have. Family albums, polaroids and film photos, flyers, brochures, tickets and clippings, certificates, contracts, payslips, receipts, insurance documents, medical records – everything but my passport and birth certificate – all slipping through the slither of scanner light and into a literal shredder. Photos are being loaded into Apple Photos; the face identification, location and date search suddenly making them much more browsable and sharable. Sensitive documents are being loaded into end-to-end encrypted Tresorit; I always have access to a copy of everything no matter where I am in the world. Physical paper ribbons, recycled. The process takes me a couple of days, costs me next to nothing and saves me a heck load of physical room. I can now access everything instantly, anywhere. Flash forward to the present-day and I've managed to keep my paper stash relatively small. I actually use the amount of paper waste I generate and keep as a self-check mechanism to ensure I'm following my values. My only vice is that I'm still fond of a physical notebook although I am slowly warming to Apple Notes and am also a sucker for a physical book and magazine though I am slowly transitioning to audiobooks and digital editions. Unsurprisingly, I've been cash-free for a lot longer than I've been truly paper-free. With the exception of paying my hairdresser (the last cash-only person I interact with although I'm sure I could do a bank transfer if I really wanted to), I haven't touched physical money since the middle of 2019. Rishi Sunak has launched a taskforce exploring the possibility of a digital pound and I'm betting the UK's new polymer bank notes will probably be the last printed. I wouldn't even know what to do if you handed me a cheque… None of my banks have branches. Post it? Possibly frame it as a relic of a bygone era? Perhaps the only saving grace of the coronavirus pandemic might be that it sped the transition to a cashless economy up. This desire to eradicate paper (and clutter in general) from my life has become somewhat fervent. Of course, there are still bits of paper here-and-there that creep into my life, mainly thanks to the supposedly mandatory statements from legacy institutions like banks, councils, and insurance companies. For your sake, this is a kind reminder that you don't need your insurance certificate to hold valid insurance (you just need to be able to produce one within seven days when requested), you've never needed your polling card to vote (you just need to be registered and know which polling station corresponds to the address you're registered at), and you do not need to keep your receipt to get a refund on faulty items. Shred them. As for what's left of my physical mail, I'd gladly pay Royal Mail a per-page fee to scan, shred and send that to me electronically. I can't think of any form of paper communication that can't exist that way. You don't even need to post me a debit card – I already use Apple Pay and my primary current account surfaces the card details in the app! Not only is this conciderably more secure – mail lives and dies entirely within Royal Mail's network – but it's also conciderably less costly for the company and less cumbersome for me, the consumer. Royal Mail should have become either a package courier or newsletter company a decade ago. As far as products go, some of the greatest in the world come with next to no paperwork. You should take it as a sign of brilliant product design if the thing you've purchased comes with no manual. Apple products come only with legal info and the bare minimum in the form of a manual, as do Dyson, who alongside their legal obligations include just a QR code for an online product walkthrough. Receipts, warranties, and insurance documents for these companies and the majority of their stockists are also all digital. Even for the most sensitive things, we're moving toward digital solutions. The 2021 Census was carried out digitally, my prescriptions are dealt with electronically, and my paycheques are delivered via email. In 2017, Natwest launched paper-free mortgages – a process that was previously very paper-heavy. We are on the edge of a new era. Paperless-everything is quickly becoming the norm and whilst a time where paper doesn't exist at all may sound like one of those futuristic ideals, I think we'll see it for everything but books, newspapers, and magazines this decade. Stone, leather, paper, cloud.

I meet and talk with a lot of photographers. Those just starting their photo journey have so many questions it sometimes boils down to a very open-ended question: “Where do I start?” In this episode, I share 5 tips for the beginning photographer … and I think these are helpful for us “old souls” as well for mentoring and coaching those around us starting to explore this passion we share.5 Tips For Beginning Photographers Use the camera you have. The great photographers before us made compelling images with far less technically capable gear. Start with what you have - yes, a mobile phone counts! When your camera becomes a limiting factor to creating the images you want, then it's time to buy new gear. Also, as a beginner, you may not know what types of photos you like to take. Gear needs differ depending on the subject.Photograph lots of things. When you're starting out, you might not know what subjects you like - or you like everything! Make lots of pictures, figure out what subjects you enjoy capturing. A “52 project” is a good idea early in photography. These projects give you some structure, yet also allow you to explore different areas of photography (and yourself).Study and practice composition. The fundamentals do matter. Great photographs start with solid composition. There are plenty of free resources about photo composition. Several episodes of this podcast discuss composition as well. Pick a compositional principle and practice it. Take a photo a day for a week, and move on to the next principle.Get familiar with basic post-processing, so you can capture in RAW. There are plenty of good, free mobile phone apps that let you control the basics of exposure, contrast, white balance, etc. For macOS users, Apple Photos is very capable software. Why care about post? Longer-term, when your skills grow, you'll have rich RAW files and be able to do more with them.Look at lots of photos and understand why you like certain ones. Images are everywhere and we consume tons of them every day. When a photo stops you, even for a moment, take a beat and understand why it made you look longer. Was it the subject? The color? The framing? The mood? The contrast? Make mental notes and incorporate those into your next set of photos.A special, heartfelt thank you to Buzzsprout.

If you want to learn all about something, write a book about it. Or, to avoid yourself a lot of work, read someone else’s book about it! Jason Snell has written several versions of his book Take Control of Photos, and he joins us to talk about what’s new in Apple’s photo software and ecosystem for the Mac and iOS devices. We also talk about making print books and calendars, features that were removed from Photos earlier this year, and how machine learning is going to play a more important role in photo software.

A few months ago, we sent out a survey on a topic that appears to be the bane of many listeners' existence: digital clutter. Over one third of respondents told us that the thing that drives them MOST crazy – the biggest, worst, most frustrating clutter quagmire in their lives – is photos. We promised you a podcast and a plan of attack, and our word was good (if a little bit, um, enthusiastic – listen above). With the help of organizational guru Alan Henry, Deputy Editor of Lifehacker, we've put together a customized step-by-step system to help you back up, sort, and organize your digital photo collection for the long haul. By then end of this process, you're going to be scrolling through your pictures and contemplating the role photos really play in our lives. But first, the time has come to get your photos in shape. Seriously. Now. It'll be more fun than you think. Mostly. The Note to Self System For Decluttering Your Photos and Coming to Terms With Your Mortality I. The Basic ToolsII. Decide How Deep You Want to Go Steps for the Casual Snapshooter Steps for the Moderate Snapshooter Steps for the Enthusiastic Snapshooter Find Your Photos: A List of Places to Look III. Tell Us What You Found (Part Two!) The Basic Tools According to Alan, these are the terms, tools, and basic tricks you'll need to get started – though how far you go with them is up to you. See: Deciding How Deep to Go. Back-up services: This is a centralized place on the cloud where you can get to the raw files of your photos if you need to. Alan recommends Dropbox, but iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive or the like could serve a similar function, so long as you're willing to pay for extra storage. One work-around: sign up for an extra account just for photo storage purposes. Auto-upload: You have two options with your back-up service. The first is turning on the auto-upload feature, which means you'll be syncing the full-sized files to your computer. If you want to get these photos printed, use another service like Apple Photos or Picasa or Aperture, or plan to edit your photos with software such as Photoshop, this is a good idea. The other, more space-friendly option: leave that setting off, and instead be really judicious about how many of your photos you sync to your computer, or commit to going in and taking the ones you don't want down. This is going to take some introspection, some cutting-of-your-losses, and also maybe some back-up hardware. Back-up hardware: An external hard drive that can hold all of the files you don't want taking up space on your devices. It's the digital version of flossing your teeth. In this case, pick whatever works for you – if you've got less than 64 gigabytes of files you care about, a solid USB could work. If you've got a lot more than that (or if you just want to keep your options open), you should spring for an external hard drive. Photo management services: This is the service you'll use to help you categorize and sort through your pictures, whether that's by date, location, or content. Alan's favorite is Google Photos, which gives you unlimited space as long as your photos fall below a certain resolution (16 megapixels or 1080p HD video). You can set it so that Google will automatically reduce anything above that size to lower quality as well – for most people this should be just fine for organizing and digital-viewing purposes. From there, Google's photo categorization technology will help you label and organize the photos into albums and galleries. You could also choose a social media platform like Facebook or Instagram, you just have to commit to making them more or less public. Facial recognition: A type of deep learning used by such services as Google Photos to categorize and organize your photos. This comes with some very real caveats. Scanner: The best way to collect all your old physical photos and store them with your digitla photos. Alan says you can go high tech and buy a picture scanner (he recommends the Doxie or the Doxie Go WiFi) to scan them at home, or send them out to get scanned. Or – if you're OK with really low fidelity– you can just take a picture of the picture. Meta! Privacy/sharing settings: Be sure to double check that you're only sharing what you want to share, no matter which services you choose. That said, Alan Henry says his rule is to only upload the images he is OK with his friends and family seeing. The only way to absolutely ensure privacy (well, as much as we can possibly absolutely ensure privacy), is to avoid using the cloud altogether. In Alan's words: "As for what to snap and what not to snap - well, I'm not of the mindset that 'if you don't want it public you shouldn't take it or store it on the Internet' – that blames *people* for problems with *technology.* However, it's important to be mindful when you snap, and maybe take it into your own hands to choose what to upload and what not to, then back up or encrypt anything you want to save but don't want out of your reach to delete at any time. :)" via GIPHY Decide How Deep You Want to Go Alan thinks we all fit into one of three photo-taking categories: casual snapshooters, moderate snapshooters, and enthusiastic snapshooters. Figuring out which category you belong to will help you decide how far you really need to go in your personal photo-decluttering process.  You've been sorted! (Kristeli Zappa M./Note to Self) BUCKET 1: THE CASUAL SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics: You have a bunch of photos all over the place, but you're not as concerned about organizing the past as you are setting up a solid system for the future. You primarily take photos with your phone. Your goal is to go from disorganized to organized, not necessarily to group all of your photos in the same place. Your steps: Pick a system for automatic back-up. Download the app if you don't have it already. Turn on auto-upload. On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." That's it! Save your password somewhere safe. Invest in an external hard drive if you're feeling really responsible. Digital hygiene, everybody. Be sure to tell us what you've found. BUCKET 2: THE MODERATE SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics:  For the most part, your photos are already digital – just in a billion different places. You may have a few old phones, some SD cards from a DSLR or other high-end digital camera, but you're not terribly concerned with really old physical photos. You probably have hundreds (or maybe a couple thousand but no more than that) of photos you care about, and want them to be organized, both past and present. Your Steps:  Turn on auto upload for your back-up system of choice (i.e., Dropbox). On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." Choose your photo management service, and transfer the photos you care about the most into it (i.e. Google Photos.). Start hunting down the rest of the digital photos you really care about and pull them into your photo management service. Be judicious: What's really worth    migrating off of, say, that Flickr account you started and never went back to? Which Facebook Photos do you want to make sure you're saving in higher quality? Did you have a SmugMug account you need to check? Once you've uploaded the photos you care about most into this central service, look through the albums it has created for you. See where the system has sorted it correctly, and where it has gotten details wrong. Take over as the human here, and start adjusting into a system that will be meaningful to you. This can be as intense of a process as you choose, just be sure to label with names that will be memorable. (I.e., not “August 2015,” but “Trip to Paris With Family.”) This system should recognize dates and location at the very least. If they're wonky – and older photos probably will be – pick and choose which ones you care about correcting. Starting to sort through your photos will also help you jog your memory about any meaningful pictures you may have forgotten. Track them down, rinse, repeat. BUCKET 3: THE ENTHUSIASTIC SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics:  You have thousands of photos — probably more than Dropbox or Google Photos' drag-and-drop interfaces can handle in one go. You use multiple devices, including cameras with SD cards and phones. You're looking for all of your memories to be organized, both past and present. You might even want to organize all of the photos from the whole family's set of gadgets, like phones or tablets everyone uses. Your Steps: Pick a back-up system. Turn on auto-upload for your current and future photos. Let the current batch upload. This could take a few minutes. On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." Once you're done uploading, drag and drop as many of your already-digital but easily-accessible photos from your back-up system to your photo management system. For now, draw the line at your primary devices—the laptops or computers you already use, the phone you already use, and the SD card currently in your favorite camera you've been meaning to back up. Aim to get the majority of your current and most recent photos centralized. Once the bulk of your current photos are on your two services, spend some time getting in touch with your memories again, building galleries and doing searches through your most recent upload. Look through the albums your photo management service has created for you, and see where the system has sorted it correctly, and where it has gotten details wrong. Start sorting into albums that will be meaningful to you. This can be as intense of a process as you choose, just be sure to label with names that will be memorable. You're also teaching the system which details actually matter to you. From here, start hunting down old photos to add to the collection. Then, batch by batch, pull in old folders. Then, as you have the time, energy, or desire to centralize those old photos, you can power up that old laptop and upload them, or dump them to an external hard drive and upload them in batches (all of your old 2003 trip photos at once, for example.) This way you're making continual progress without committing yourself to a week-long wrestling match with the tendrils of Google and Dropbox every time you want to back-up your memories.  When you're as far as you're going to get for the moment... tell us what you've found! Where to Look For Old Photos If you're like most people, you've probably stored your photos in all kinds of different places over the years. Here's a not-at-allcomprehensive-but-hopefully-inspirational list of places to look: Your phone's built-in photos app Your old phone's built-in photos app Photo apps on your laptop/PC Drive/ Desktop Folders on your laptop/PC  External harddrive CDs/DVDs USBs Old cameras Email Text messages (these can take up a surprising amount of space!)
