i have a habit of just contacting the seller right away and ask for their preferred approach. some webstores prefer to just warranty it now instead of dealing with a potential warranty nightmare in the future (warranty nightmare costs them man-hours too). others may ask to testy if it works first, or just give you the option to return with or without testing.

plug it in and listen closely. if it's completely silent it's an SSD, if you hear whirring and clicking it's a HDD. another way to tell is to transfer data, if you die of old age before it finishes it's almost certainly a HDD.

yes, i vaguely recall enough of it to remember the vibe, now you mention it.

remanents of the biological skin aging process.

while i agree with the sentiment.. they could also not give away an RTX 4080 super to a lucky individual who did nothing more than retweet into a void of zero followers. it's not the conclusion i want to make either.. but they either have this, or no RTX 4080 super given away. if you dont want to participate, you're free to not do so. act as if the link isnt there. to be fair i hadnt even noticed until you pointed it out. --- on topic: we need more people like Jessica in this world. life would be boring without chinchilla headphone pads. This video had a lot of "3/4 idiot" vibe going on.. and i want more of it. (also, if you dont get that reference, look it up on youtube.. if you can handle *that* kind of humor)

RAID0. does anyone ever say this? striping a LOT of disks.. or realisticly, striping a LOT of RAID6 arrays, because at this number of disks, disk failure is a routine thing. realisticly, with sequential reads, you'll do 2.5G fast enough, and 10G is just 4x that.. but the moment seek times come into play, spinning rust struggles hard. SATA isnt a bus, it's 6Gbps to each port, you might reach PCIe speed limitations depending on the controller though.

there's merit to both choices. - if you diversify, you'll always find a customer base, because you can do a bit of everything. but you'll have to rely on external people for the advances stuff, because you cant diversify *and* drill deep on topics while also still being able to sleep. - if you focus to a specific thing, you'll become before mentioned external specialist.. but you'll have to send away customers that want something you're not able to do. i've worked for a business on both extremes.. - i've woked for 6 years for a company that tried to be everything to everyone, but they very much were *not* ready for office365 to be the de-facto standard, and ever since then they've been hit and miss, with the employees having to glue together the rubble of management mistakes. - given before mentioned situation i jumped ship to a very M365 oriented business, they did all M365, but only M365.. their financials are great, they did a lot of successful projects.. but if a customer asked something that was just barely outside their scope, that smooth machine crumbled down hard and fast. i'll also give two examples of people who have been very successful in their field. - Level1Techs is <essentially> an accidential side-gig of Wendell Wilson Consulting, Wendell has made his career out of fixing people's IT problems, whatever that problem is. - Tron guy.. of all people.. is actually a brilliant IBM mainframe engineer. he's *the* person to call if you have a problem with your IBM mainframe. if you're up for a bit of dry matter between the both of them, here's a good watch:

j4125 is slow even if you have enough heatsink for it to turbo... that stick does not have said heatsink capabilities. it's gonna be near unusable even for teams and excel... having that said... i'm gonna back @BahnStormer's suggestion for some cheapo android box and sticking the teams app on that. if you prefer windows, something along these lines comes to mind: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVFXCJ2V/ref=twister_B0CJ8SQSZZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 also, today i learned, there's an intel N95 too.. and it just has worse iGPU than the N100.. so N95 is probably where you want to be.

add thermalfake to your list. that said, assume that everyone in the industry is at least partially copying each other's homework. new ideas are rare, and there's only so many ways to make a square black box.

just make sure to get rid of all the burs and smooth the edge with some sandpaper, i've yet to encounter a computer case that's made from something that'll rust easily, and the sort of place you use a computer arent really environments where rust is likely to happen. if you insist on protecting the cut edges with something, there's a wide range of options to explore: - many forms of tape - nail polish - a heavier (thicker) oil, or grease - some types of glue also work really well for a lack of better options

it's kind of difficult to start on this without sounding like a complete overbearing arse.. because there are many levels of wrong here... minecraft java edition is essentially not dependant on your GPU past the point of "it existing". also, low GPU usage isnt the reason for your low FPS, cause and effect is the other way around. welcome to minecraft java edition.. between java being hilareously inefficient, and the spaghetti that mojang calls a game engine, there's weird bottlenecks in weird places. did anything else about your setup (or minecraft) change between the 2060 and 4070? that sounds like you're misinterpreting what's happening. back to cause and effect here: the GPU's not your limiting factor, so it's not the reason for your framerate going up. you're seeing more GPU usage because whatever your bottleneck is gets cleared up by moving into new areas. having some quite recent trauma about trying to troubleshoot minecraft 1.20's performance.. i'm also not wanting to rule out it's the game itself doing tomfoolery again. ---- that all aside.. for some real suggestions to figure this out; - ignore GPU usage, it's irrelevant. (assuming you're not running with a shaders mod) - keep a closer eye on CPU usage, and how many cores the game is using. - keep an eye on memory usage with the in-game F3 menu. - if you test something, repeat the test several times, if you get wildly different results, it's just minecraft that's to blame.

it's not because it happens to be on the same frequency that it's in any way compatible. without the original controller to reverse engineer you have a better chance at 'headcrabbing' your own RC hardware into the car than to make your own wireless controller to connect to the car.

steamdeck with steam in-home streaming? that's gonna be way cheaper than any hdmi and usb over fiber solution.

that depends on what you do with it.

i'm guessing they're either ikea or a local home improvement store special.

the thought process between RAID5/6 and what unraid does is fundamentally the same, but the way it is achieved differs. in a RAID5/6 array everything is written "across" all drives, splitting at a bitwise level just like RAID1 does, for example if you have a RAID5 with 3 disks, half of the data is on one disk, half the data is on another, and the third contains the parity data. raid6 just adds an additional slice of parity data. unraid stores files on 'data' disks in their entirety, the parity disk (or disks) then store the same style of bitwise parity calculation of the data on these data disks. the key difference in the parity calculation is that RAID5/6 splits data and parity across all drives, and unraid dedicated specific disks to parity operation. essentially, the data on a raid5 array looks like this: and an unraid array would essentially contain A-D1 on disk1, A-D2, on disk2, A-D3 on disk3, and A-D parity on the parity drive. essentially if we ignore the way the data itself is stored (striping vs whole files) and the way the parity is stored (dedicated parity drive vs spread out) they both do the exact same thing. for parity calculation sake each drive is just a big row of bits: one or zero. you then put all of those rows side by side, and your parity is also just a big row of bits, each one is the XOR result of the other bits on that place in the row. the unraid page @Kilrah linked does a good job at explaining this process. the difference in methodology that unraid uses compared to traditional RAID5/6 has one very interesting benefit for home users: as long as your parity drive is equal in size to the biggest drive in the array, you can use any odd mix of drives you like and the parity mechanism isnt affected. this is displayed in before mentioned unraid page by having different length bit rows in the example. on another note; this is why on unraid's webinterface on the main page all disks have a "disk usage" bar, except for the parity drives, because they are essentially "always full"; they contain a full array of XOR data, no matter how much or little is stored on the rest of the array, or no matter how big or small the other drives are.

additionally, if you're running a javascript blocking type of plugin, blocking cdnfonts.com for the forum also reverts you to standard font.. it does also break a few other minor UI elements that rely on special font characters.
