Hm, I've gone through two different chat agents, both who said they can't generate the THY codes :(

Modern laptops often have battery saver modes that limit charging. Set a really low limit like 50% and it should be fine for a long while,…

Shoould be broadly similar for the same performance level, since NUCs are basically laptop boards in a case. That said, the N100 NUCs would…

Grab a drive now and image the failed drive immediately if you care about the data at all. I wouldn't build out a new array now but at the…

4th and 6th gen were also major CPU architecture spikes, plus 8th gen increased core counts (that 3rd gen i5 is a dual-core). And somewhere…

Was it a S2721Q by any chance? I think they had a bad run of those, lots of reports of flickering. I went through a replacement that itself…

> Some Googling suggests that these will show up as four UAS drives, each on it's own interface, all hanging from one USB3.2 hub. That's…

Not for me personally, but possibly not a bad option for others. I very much want a full-size keyboard, I can't stand any of the compact…

It's possible to find cheaper mechanicals but yea, it's a bit hit-or-miss. Especially for full-size (TKL can be cheaper). Of the known-good…

There are good and bad membrane switches (those bundled HP ones are incredibly mushy, while the Dell ones are quite good IME), and there…

> No, this is incorrect - many countries have adopted this, but not all, Japan has not. Some carriers in Japan may redirect the call, but…

Aside from IP there's also latency, routing halfway across the world (unsurprisingly) doesn't exactly help. I always make sure any travel…

If they use a public 'cloud' service, then you can still access them. I assume Eufy does so, and notifications almost universally do. This…

> a focus on strong CPU performance Mid-range i5 from 4 gens ago. Not even the unlocked one. This is straight up insulting.

The original freeze is typically a [flash freeze](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_freezing), which brings the temperature down very…

That's fair. If we take this other one as a comparison then $350-$400 sounds around the right ballpark. The extra 16GB of DDR4 is still…

FWIW that one was B-grade, the equivalent A-grade went for $299 (see comments). This one would be more appealing around $400, maybe $450.…

> I've never seen a "real" DAS like the TerraMaster, at an 'easy buy' price - as you alluded to above, the cheap units always take…

I need to replace a couple dodgy docks I'm currently using as makeshift hotswap bays to back up an internal array (w/ ZFS). > TerraMaster…

Just to echo zfa, distro choice tends to be a fairly personal thing but having a nice stable base to work from is nice. Proxmox tends to be…

Thanks. Sadly that one looks to be a single port bridge so there's probably an expander behind it.…

Any chance you could grab the SATA chipset? I'm curious to see what the internal layout might be, if it *isn't* one of the port mirror ones…

Via USB? I've yet to find one that isn't crap. Sadly most of the 5-bay ones are some cursed abomination of one USB-to-SATA then a SATA port…

The 7xxx gen is when they changed their naming scheme for laptop processors. It's a [complete…

It's a bit weird because the 7640HS is Zen4 and RDNA3 to the 6800H's Zen3+ and RDNA2, so it's a significant architectural step up - but…
