    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    Yeah seems to depend on SSD model - my Crucial MX500 shows a fixed number - my Samsung 970 Evo Plus shows 3 "Drive temperature" entries only the 3rd one seems to be reporting temps... and my Crucial T700 seems to be showing the live temps in HWinfo... in crystaldiskinfo it's fixed at 40c for me too.

    Too late for me - I've already taken the plunge - time will tell how my display fares in the near/far term - especially since I don't do gaming or much media consumption on my PC - it's mostly programming/browsing - which is exactly what is not advised usage - so lets see what happens and...

    Storage Solutions Any good deals on NVMe external USB enclosures?

    I'm optimistic that it will, actually... Typical linux installs read a single large compressed file (squashfs) off the source disk (usb pen drive) and yes it gets decompressed and the writes to the target disk (OS disk in the mobo) may be not serial (random and small files) but like I mentioned...

    Alexa Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Use as alarm clock with loud sound.

    You can easily set up "custom alarms" - meaning tell alexa to either "remind me at XXX time to do YYY" it will speak to you remind you twice. Or you can set actually alarms (you can choose different alarm tunes but its common for all) by saying "alexa wake me up at XXX time" but it just rings...

    Storage Solutions Any good deals on NVMe external USB enclosures?

    Mainly to use with the ventoy.net tool (for superfast OS installs) - need to plug in and out between my desktop and laptop - both of which have USB4/thunderbolt - though not sure of what kind of compatibility to expect between the three. I have a gen5 ssd in the mobo (about 11-12 GBps...

    Storage Solutions Any good deals on NVMe external USB enclosures?

    Yep was looking at https://amzn.in/d/c68hzkl which is 10k - I can wait. It needs to work as a ventoy.net boot drive on the USB-C port(s) (the USB4/thunderbolt one) on my AMD AM5 X670E mobo (Asus) with an SSD like a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB which I have. Hopefully get the full 3 GBps transfer...

    Linux Gnome GUI Shutdown Prompt

    Sure, you're welcome - this also helps me learn this stuff haha. For some reason I couldn't find the actual GNOME wiki or link where the actual docs for this DBUS API, just when I searched I got some random posts (like on stackexchange) that pointed to similar solutions. Remember, for...

    I wish India also gets some good deals if not BF then some year-end and/or diwali next year. So were the slow motion (high fps) video clips that I posted not showing the flicker properly on my oled monitor?

    I guess it seems okay to me... what about you? The flicker behind the monitor is the fan and light. It was 8x so I guess around 200 fps - does it specifically need to be 240 fps videos??? See: and

    Linux Gnome GUI Shutdown Prompt

    Ah ok yeah it would be the same as shutdown now command... Perhaps there is a different DBus service like org.gnome.SessionManager.xxx that will prompt in the UI...? . Something like this? (If it doesn't work, ensure wherever you call this, it's in the same user's context) dbus-send --session...
