Microphone Plug Types

 The video below is a good start to get information on a bewildering array of microphones.

Below is the plug with a 4-hole interface called TA4F aka TQG aka 4-pin mini XLR. The TA4F end would go to a variety of wireless transmitters. Transmitters are devices that you clip onto your belt. They communicate wirelessly to an audio receiver appliance in an AV cabinet. The other end of this adapter is a microdot that is plugged into a microphone. Notice each hole has a number.

Use more than one version of macOS and Windows on same Mac

People can dual boot Windows computers for a long time, including with Linux and Windows. However, Mac users don't know they can do the same with having multiple macOS systems running on the same Mac computer. The process is simple.

Dual booting macOS and Windows on Intel-based Macs is also simple. Macs with the newer Apple Silicon chip, this ability is no longer possible without using virtualization.

Sync Between Apple Photos App and Google Photos App

If you use Google Photos to back up your photos and videos -- they will be referred to as files from now on -- taken on your iPhones and iPads, you would want to know what happens when you delete something, namely does any automatic task happen in response to the deletions?

I should mention first that the backed up files are not physically stored on the GP app on the mobile device. Only thumbnails are stored there to reduce storage consumption on the these mobile devices which by their nature, usually do not have a lot of storage to accommodate hefty-sized media files.

You can delete files from AP and GP.

When you delete a file from AP, this file will not be deleted on GP. This makes sense because GP acts as a backup. Think about it, if you delete the source file, and this action is replicated automatically to the backup copy, the action defeats the purpose of a backup, doesn't it?

By contrast, when you delete a file from GP, be it on the iPhone or iPad or on the GP website, this file is no longer visible on GP because it is marked as "to be deleted" in GP. In 60 days, this file will be automatically and permanently deleted from GP trash.

If you don't want to wait 60 days for this automatic deletion in AP via GP, you can go to the GP app and tell it to empty the trash.
