    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    I like Orico as a brand, they're one of the premium Chinese brands that got a boost through Aliexpress. Other such brands are Aukey and Ugreen. Once upon a time, Deepcool and Anker were like them, before they became globally reputable. When I mean premium, I also mean quality focused, something...

    Proxmox Thread - Home Lab / Virtualization

    Yes, it would appear as a native drive to the VM however Proxmox wouldn't be able to access it except through the VM. For example if you passthrough a 1tb drive to a nas vm, and set it up as a share, proxmox can access that share when the vm is online, but it won't be able to read the drive...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    I remember doing that, it was not fun. Fan hubs are really inexpensive these days: https://www.amazon.in/Verilux%C2%AE-PWM-Cooling-Port-Splitter/dp/B099RQCZ88 but don't solve the problem if the fan cables aren't long enough.

    CPU/Mobo What happens to unsold previous gen high end motherboards like the x570 godlike?

    Right now, it's the Z490 and Z590 boards that are occasionally being discounted on Amazon. Most customer returns are also discounted, usually the price goes up after you buy one. For X570, it looks like we missed the window — they were heavily discounted in the previous years. The...

    WTB Sinewave UPS Inverter, so need suggestions.

    The Luminous inverter worked for me because I also oversized my power supplies, I'm using 450W units for 50-100W loads and >650W for 100-200W loads. If I used the same 450W CM MWEV2 for the 100-200W system, it would lose power and reboot during the switchover. Online UPS would also negate the...

    A comprehensive overview of tiny pcs as ranked by reddit maniacs subreddit

    Hey, thanks for sharing. Randomly, I find it interesting how westerners and easterners (ha) quantify value. We usually look at total price to gauge affordability but there, total cost doesn't appear to be a criteria — it's always like $0.10 per GB or a similar per-unit pricing. Is it because...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Thanks. I'll need to try out a few of those, I've been using Magnet for a few years because it has keyboard shortcuts. I usually have multiple windows of the same app which is one of the reasons why they would never reopen where I left them. Atom, terminal and a few Wine wrappers. They're...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    The vents are cleaned regularly, I probably just have a high ambient. It's 33C inside at the moment and the M1 is at 51C doing nothing in particular (no AC in this room). All cores maxed:

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Putting aside your inability to speak to anyone without assuming they're stupid, enlighten me — what is that command? As far as I can find, there is none for a Mac desktop. There's a one-liner terminal command for laptops, but it doesn't work on the mini. Which brings us back to what I said...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    For that one time I accidentally turned off the Mac mini, it's definitely a feature. The work I lost that day still haunts me (resume-apps-on-login feature doesn't work for me because I run a few apps through wine). That other thing about the mouse — concensus on the internet is that two...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    See, that was never my point. I don't care what other people do. For me, it's an improvement that the power button is at the bottom because of that one time that I accidently turned off my Mac mini. Maybe I'm not alone, a few searches show that others feel the same. That doesn't validate my...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    There is something wrong here. You seem to be under the impression that I have a problem with something — I don't. To be blunt: It's not a problem for me. It's a known issue for other desktop users. The issue doesn't affect me because I don't shutdown my computer. Don't care, don't use...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    Persecution fetish? Who knows. Whenever you speak about Apple, it feels like you're in an arranged marriage not of your liking. If I had such strong feelings, I wouldn't be anywhere near an Apple product. I actually do have such strong feelings, but for HP. I haven't bought a single HP product...
