@Skyh3ck - Had been looking to buy network cable to upgrade my setup, and was able to dig out this recent discussion here on CAT 6A. I suggest you give it a read, if you haven't seen it already. Proving to be tricky to find these cables online though. Would appreciate suggestions/recommendations.

Here's from a little project I did, at the behest of @Emperor Everything about this is cheap, so thought it may deserve a mention here - DIY A/V cables (weirdly enough,I didn't have this among all those cables I have hoarded over the years, and getting one from Amazon was no fun) , my 17 year...

Looks like your old HDD is gone. Just for kicks, you could try monitoring the logs (as in my previous post) while plugging it in, to see if it errors out or is totally not detected at all. Either way, it looks like you got your new HDD just in time.

@raksrules - From going through your posts, I would first make sure the new drive gets detected correctly. One way to check would be: 1. Use the command: sudo journalctl -f This should continue to print new journal/log messages on the terminal. 2. Plug in your new hard drive. Monitor the...

The exchange offer on Flipkart does appear a bit dicey. Still, I am in such a position that ordering online is my only practical option at the moment, living in a small suburban town with no decent real store options and with shopping around in the city still way too risky, given the times. The...

My existing fridge is over 15 years old, but in good working order. Have absolutely no idea about exchange prices, and was under the impression that 2.6k was decent. If it is a rip-off, I'll do just what you suggest - give it away to someone.

Sounds good, thank you. Before I take the plunge on the Samsung, have a few more questions, if you will: 1. Does it come with all trays included? It's weird that I need to ask this at all, but my present Samsung actually came with no egg trays and had to purchase it separately. 2. Have you ever...

Incidentally, I slightly prefer the Samsung for similar reasons. Our present Samsung fridge has been going strong for 15+ years and without any major repair (hopefully I don't jinx it before I get a new one).

@raksrules - Tell you what. Looking back at my earlier post, I'm afraid I really fumbled around trying to get things done with cp. Way too ugly. Haven't actually used regular cp for such tasks in a long while. Here's a (hopefully more elegant) rsync version: I assume here that your existing...

You'll need to change the UUID in this line to use that of your new drive. To find UUID of your new drive partition, use: blkid -s UUID <block-device> For example, if the block device for your newly mounted partition is at /dev/sda1: blkid -s UUID /dev/sda1

Any thoughts on the build quality?

Sure. You should change the name of the mount directory once the copy is finished. Do take care to go about this very carefully and retain the permissions/ownership of the main mount directory (the sub-directories should be fine, since you use the -a flag). Assuming the working/existing mount...

In this case, cp -af <source-mount-dir> <dest-mount-dir> should suffice. Roughly, you'll need to mount both drives and perform this copy (preferably as root/sudo, since -a preserves permissions) and you should be good.

Probably the only use-case where Kodi still shines, is when you use it as a media-consumption platform in itself, rather than as a one-among-several apps - given it's interface, hardware/remote support and support for multiple streaming services (including niche ones). Have attempted to switch...

Now looking for anything equal to or above 128GB.

Did a bit of research, only to find that this model neither has a inverter compressor nor the ability to turn off/control each section (convertability, they call it). Back to square one, and came up with a couple of other models...

If the issue still is relevant. Yes, you can mount the new HDD under the exact same directory. You only need to make sure that the copied file tree structure is exactly the same as on the older HDD, for your programs to continue working. To copy files to your new HDD, you may use rsync (as...

One other factor could be the sheer vastness and diversity of India Post, going by the (largely heartening) experiences posted here. My own experience has been varied. They have generally been poor down here in our small suburban town - have faced everything from damaged/delayed letters...

Had actually narrowed down on this model, before I ran into this thread. The price/features look just about right, but any further thoughts on this? Would in particular like to hear if the three sections can be turned off/controlled individually.

There are a couple of things you need to watch out for: 1. Available upgradable slots. Many newer models (in the ultra portable segment, in particular) come with one or more modules soldered on, leaving you little or no room for more memory. 2. Level of difficulty in upgrading components. Some...
