I haven’t set it back. up, but I have a beige PowerMac G3 that I use as my in between machine. It has a built in Mac Floppy so I can write 800k/400k disks no problem. But it’s upgraded with a nice graphics card and a 600mhz G4 so I can run OSX 10.4 at really good speed which makes the machine even better as an in between device for my old machines.

I have CRTs but I hate them so I only use them whenever necessary.

If the point of connecting it to WiFi is to make it easier to print then why would you isolate it only to make it harder to print?

If you want 100% no sneaky stuff connect it to some PC and set up a cups server on it.

$100 usd is going to get you something pretty dire unless you luck out. It doesn’t take too much more to go from >15 years old to something <8 with a MUCH better CPU and ram options.

Yup. It’s almost like they talked about that in the article.

Mine is purely software. I want the left touchpad to be a scroll wheel, and it doesn’t work. Well it kinda works, but not right.

For about 5 minutes when I got the controller I could set clockwise or counterclockwise motion to scroll and it would do per pixel scrolling. Now when I enable that setting it does nothing. I can add on top of it cw/ccw motion to act as scroll wheel which gets the job done. But single scroll wheel motions aren’t as precise/quick as the per pixel/accelerated motion.

If I remember right the right touchpad does it just fine. Only the left doesn’t.

Also I detest how it does different profiles automatically. I never want my controller to act differently unless I tell it to. But that’s a separate issue and I can manually revert it to what I want per game.

And yet they have no interest in fixing my steam controller issue from basically day 1.

3 2 1 offsite backups typically happen a lot less often than local copies or local backups.

I also don’t really consider any machines data to be irreplaceable. If I lose my phone I want the latest backup. But taxes or photos I care for? Those are an entirely different backup, and those aren’t incremental. They’re just what they are.

Kinda depends on what it’s for. My server? IDK, 2 days. Maybe have a dedicated weekly/monthly backup left behind. PC? Honestly just the latest is fine.

But it’s a 10tb drive, so I’ve got months of backups even if they’re running continuously. It’s less a how comfortable I am and more a how much can I afford. (a lot more before the shortage)

As long as I have space. My backups are on dedicated drives, and as they run out of space the old ones are deleted.

Just RTFM!!!

*reads the manual and there’s nothing about this*

…ok. Now what?

But enclosed in a box without much airflow and those temps are going to creep up over time. And take even longer to cool down. Hopefully there’s fans in the bottom or side. Because one exhaust is not great for even just the heat from those hard drives.

I think the best way to handle airflow out is to have a turn or two on the intake/exhausts for the noise to get trapped. I personally just put mine in my basement though. That limits the sound pretty well.

Gotta go fast. My WiFi can achieve > 1gbit, my internal network is already 10 gig. Why not support faster everywhere?

I do this at work. If you don’t do pass through for the NICs I’d highly suggest it. When it’s a router it’s insane how much the overhead can be.

We have a 4 gig connection and with the virtual nics got maybe just over 1gbit on a Xeon silver based R640. But after pass through solid 3.5ish. Not sure where the bottleneck is currently, but our other servers do >4 just fine.

I was using an N100 based mini PC and it did fine at 1gbit. But now that I have 3, and it’s realistically closer to 4 or 5 it doesn’t cut the mustard.

Proper hardware based routers are also just so much more efficient. That N100 machine was constantly hot to the touch. My new UniFi router uses less power and does 10 gig easily.

You still have to buy bullets.

Double check the CPU is still running at full speed. Without a battery most mopdern laptops will throttle CPU (and maybe GPU) performance.

Also there’s no reason to remove the battery if you can cap it’s charging. 80% is better than 100%, but if it’s plugged in 24/7 cap it as low as it will let you. But 60% is even better than 80% for health. And any cap below 100% severely reduces the chance its battery will expand.

Considering the cases probably some buisness that needs employees walking around with phones. Maybe a warehouse or store?

What encoding are the videos from your S21 in? Is it something that the phone (or just app) doesn’t support hardware accelerated decoding of?

Like old coder said, try another app first.

If I had to guess I’d say cooling. What filament are you using, what print temp, and what fan speed? And more importantly where is the printer?

Creality makes a little tent for the Ender 3 and it helped with a lot of inconsistent prints I was getting. In winter time the printer was in a super cold room and bigger prints would warp. But just normal airflow in a room can cause enough of a temp difference to warp big prints like that. If you can shield the sides of your printer with something that might help.

Still only single channel memory? I was hoping they’d add LPCAMM so you could get the full performance out of the machine.

There’s not going to be a decoder ring with these machines because those companies shit out so many awful machines that nobody cared about in the first place. You’ll get nice decoding for MacBooks since there’s only ever been like 4 of them, and there’s a diehard and big user base. Same for thinkpads, albeit there’s only like 4 models people actually care about.

But nobody gives a shit about MSIs 900th new model for the year. It was a bad laptop when it was new. Even msi probably didn’t care.

Unfortunately nobody ever put AMDs APUs into actually good laptops, they only ever went into sludge like that destroyer.

A slower CPU sucks, but swapping sucks even more. Is the ram upgradeable? You can get 16gb ddr3 sticks of ram. Idk how much EOL/the ram pocalypse has affected their pricing though.

Not anymore. That changed with the Xbox one and PS4.
