There might be good reasons to sometimes shoot a lot of photos of one or the other scene and sometimes there are ethical reasons to take no photo of some scenes at all. However, nowadays television news show videos made with smart phones by amateurs and very often it's unimportant for documentation, it's just offending human dignity. Sensation-seeking isn't the same as documentation. After the news probably a documentation about curious outlookers, upskirt photography and other annoyances is shown ;). --------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sun, 30 Aug 2020 20:11:45 +0200, Polytropon wrote: >Maybe I should have used better words: There actually is a >difference between photo and snapshot Some vacationists don't take photos, they prefer to draw and paint ;). --------------------------------------------------------------------- R=C3=A9sum=C3=A9 Some photographers might need TiBs of storage for good reasons, so huge GPT drives might make sense. Other people should consider to stop making fashion photography, sensation-seeking photography, upskirt photography, selfies etc. and data volume might decrease rapidly to an amount that can be handled using MBR. Medical recordings are important and might require TiBs of storage. Collecting data by fitness trackers for self-optimisation is data waste that shouldn't exist. However, my opinion is unimportant, if people like to make fashion photos and fitness tracking, they should do so, it's still not likely that this alone requires more than a few 2 TiB devices with 4 or less primary partitions. I'm not speaking against GPT, I just try to explain that MBR usually isn't bad.
