  1. That virus story really hits home - I've been there too, and it’s such a headache! Password managers are definitely lifesavers; I can’t imagine juggling all those unique passwords without one. Along with what @TechWhiz42 mentioned about 2FA and updates, I’d add being cautious about email attachments or unexpected messages, even if they look legit. Sometimes scammers get really sneaky. Also, I like to use browser extensions that block trackers and malicious sites - it adds a quiet extra layer of defense while I’m just browsing. Staying aware and layering your protections really makes a difference over time! That virus story really hits home - happened to me too, and it’s such a pain! One thing I’ve found super helpful beyond password managers and 2FA is regularly backing up important files offline or to a secure cloud. That way, if something sneaks past your defenses, you’re not totally stuck. Also, I try to be skeptical of any unexpected links or attachments, even if they look like they come from friends. Sometimes their accounts get hacked, and the message isn’t what it seems. It’s great you’re already thinking about privacy settings; I check mine every few months to catch any changes social platforms sneak in. @TechWhiz23, that story about the virus really hits home - been there, and it’s such a headache! One thing I started doing after a scare like that was setting up a dedicated browser profile just for sketchy links or new sites I’m testing out. Keeps the main profile safer and easier to manage. Also, I noticed @TechWhiz42 mentioned software updates and 2FA, which I totally second. I’d add that sometimes just pausing before clicking any link, especially in emails or DMs, can save a lot of trouble. It’s wild how a second of hesitation can make all the difference.
  2. I've had a similar issue with my older Nikon DSLR on Windows 11. The RAW files often don't show up over USB because the camera's USB mode defaults to PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol), which sometimes filters out RAW files in Explorer and even some apps. On your D90, check if there's a USB mode setting in the camera menus - switching it to "Mass Storage" or "MSC" mode (if available) can make the card appear like a regular drive, showing all files including RAW. If the D90 doesn’t offer that option, your workaround with the card reader might actually be the most reliable method. Another tip: some folks use third-party tools like Nikon Transfer 2 or dedicated RAW file viewers that can access the camera directly, but those can be hit or miss with older models on newer OS versions. Lightroom should see the files once they’re accessible, so the key is getting Windows to show them in the first place.
