    [Mini log] Custom cooler for new router

    After the sudden death of my old router (n5100 mini pc with 4x i226), bought another one from an Alibaba seller, this time Alder lake "e-core" only n100 (2x performance, same wattage) mini pc, with same 4x i226 (wanted same nics as pfsense can be a b**ch about drivers if nics change). First...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    Looking forward to the Yoga slim 7x, has the biggest battery of the same class, and longest runtime of the OLEDs (78 variant of the chip likely a reason), downside being the non haptic trackpad. I'd like to run linux on these though, who knows when that will be stable with the device drivers.

    Monitors 27" monitor deal ?

    Very much so, I have a couple 27" 4k monitors, and friend has 27" 1440p, and the difference is immediately noticeable. I can not go back to lower ppi displays.

    Monitors OLED Monitors

    This is incorrect, lot of monitors use LG display WOLED panel with WRGB subpixel arrangement, and QD OLED TVs use RGB. Almost all OLED panels use non standard subpixel structure, causing color fringing on lower ppi displays.

    Monitors OLED Monitors

    My current asus laptop has a 14" 2.8k oled display, and it looks gorgeous. Everything looks crisp due to the high ppi and 200% scaling, and colors pop because of OLED. I'm a sucker for text clarity, and use 2x 27" 4k monitors on my main pc. Once 27" 4k oleds are available (and at a reasonable...

    Tragedy with Revo Uninstallers

    Recovery is possible iff you haven't written any new files to the partition after revo nuked it. The reason HDD recovery works is because files aren't actually deleted, the bits are still there, just the references from the partition are deleted, and the space is marked as available to be...

    Linux The elementary OS thread

    Been using it since 0.3 beta (freya?), nice clean look and decently fast. Gave up on it after purchasing my current laptop, as they did not support wayland, and while wayland has its quirks, the experience is better if you're used to certain features on other OSs (browser trackpad gestures...

    Help setting up Home Network with a Switch

    Your AP (if it's the ac58u) doesn't support POE, you'll need one of the POE extractors/splitters, not worth the effort/money. If you'd rather have it, get a reputable one like this https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-TL-PoE10R-TP-LinkTL-POE10R-Splitter-Black/dp/B001PS4NWW , supports 5/9/12 volts output.

    Help setting up Home Network with a Switch

    Yes Yes, any decent quality cat6 cable will do the job, try to get solid copper core cables, as aluminum (CCA, copper coated aluminium) cables have higher resistance and will cause a larger voltage drop. Yes

    Help setting up Home Network with a Switch

    This should work fine, but it's only a 100mbps switch, not gigabit. Your network speeds will be limited to 100mbps downstream of the switch. Regarding managed vs unmanaged, managed switches typically have a management interface, either an web gui or through console, and have advanced features...
