Well ok then... it looks not as bad as the other running server I found... I have been running backups and service hours on some of those discs are in the +90000 hours So I asked management about all this and the age of the serverss and the reply... well if it aint broke dont fix it.... SOOO think I got my work cut out for me.. and have a lot of work to do in getting the whole place updated on the hardware side of things... WOOooooooo

Sorry not gonna pull the disc out of a running server to check the lable, and not one that might be that old.... not sure its gonna work / start again

We have some old HPE Proliant DL360p Gen8 Servers where HPE SIM in reporting approx 78657 service hours on the discs in those servers. I am just wondering if I am reading it correctly that they have been running for almost 9 years ?

One thing for sure is that LTT / LMG is having damage control meetings .... and if not then they should start having them. YES i dont agree with the way LTT handled this situation, but that how companies end up doing things when there is a large disconnect between management and those that are working in the company. I dont think there have been any bad intent from LTT / LMG in regards to the auction of the prototype, I just think at the company have grown to this size people are not communicating about the different tasks and how to handle them correctly. But again YES LTT / LMG should have handled this WAY better and they need to do some real damage control and do it the correct way. Its a good thing that GN made the video they did as it does spark a fire in the community on all sides, how ever i still feel that all these types of videos from GN always have a very angry vibe / tone from Steve and it feels like it is done in that way to somehow get some loud people in the community to also respond in a angry way back to those companies that GN exposes in their videos. Yes if they did it in a calm tone less people would watch the video, so that is the style GN makes these types of videos in "the angry at everything investigatory journalist style" or maybe its just me that is more to the style of Coffeezilla, in any case I feel that GN could have done this in a different way that also would have involved them in not having to have reached out to LTT / LMG. But that the game of Youtube... Drama = Views And we all eat it up Any way LTT / LMG please do right and do it soon. Thanks.

Its still holding with no problem. I just put the setup in a new case for the kid that have been using it ever sins I made the mount I looked it all over and its on there good and temps are great. So for the past 2 years there have not been a problem with it and its still holding on.

So my home "workstation" is a Ryzen 7 2700X 32GB of ram, but have gotten hold of a Dell workstation with dual XEON E5-2640 V4 CPUs and 256GB ECC RAM. Yes the Dell thing will be louder than my Ryzen 7 machine. but from a pure workstation "not gaming" view what would you choose to use of these two systems. Full specs of the systems Current home workstation Asus rog strix b450-i motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 2700X MSI RTX 2060 6GB 32GB ddr4-3600 cl16 512GB WD black nvme ssd Dell workstation Dual Xeon E5-2640 V4 256GB ECC DDR4 RAM Nvidia Quadro M4000 8GB NO SSD YET

So just got issued new footwear from work. As a lot of our IT equipment is in a ESD safe area, I got 2 choices of ESD safe footware Someting that looks like Crocs and some ESD safe sandals.. Sooo what can i say.... I work in IT and wears socks in sandals... NOOOOO !!!

Wanted custom keyboard but could not afford it LOL!! OK ... truth be told we have an E-waste container and I was bored. Old broken IBM keyboard and cheap Bluetooth keyboard from AliExpress found in the E-waste. IBM keyboard gutted at cut in half, Bluetooth keyboard ripped out of the fake leather case it was in. Then all of the parts mashed together with superglue, double-sided tape, screws and paint. MOM!! can I have custom keyboard !! NO we have custom keyboard at home !! CUSTOM keyboard at home !!!

Where i live we have a "shed" where people can dump they e-waste and stuff like that and once a month they come an get all the e-waste sooo lately i have been going there at least once a day.. haul this week and most flipped on facebook market place. 1 Sony soundbar and remote. 1 Nordklang Soundbar and remote. 1 2x500watt car stereo amp. And previously i have found TVs, computer parts and even a Nintendo switch with out charger and joycons and all of it just needed a little love and care and off to facebook market place with the stuff i could not use

Have HWinfo running from time to time to monitor the temps when my son was playing fortnite of the thing and GPU and CPU did spike at 75 degree celsius But the back of the laptop that normally have the plastic grill infront of the heatsink i have cut away as they some of it where brokken off to start with, this opens up more for the heat to exit the cooler. I have also removed a plate that are on the bottom of the laptop that would normally cover up an 2.5" SSD but as this laptop dont use that kind of drive it now have a hole larger than the drive in the back where heat also can escape from And i also cleaned the heatsinks, fans and applied new thermal paste Pics below of what the internals look like in this thing, picture borrowed from https://laptopmedia.com/us/review/acer-aspire-7-a715-71g-review-value-meets-performance/

Last weekend I found a broken laptop screen dead, hinges broken off and a ton of scratches and small dents in the machine. How ever specs made it worth to see if I could get it working again. Acer Aspire laptop: Intel Core i5 7300HQ 16GB DDR4 ram Nvidia GTX 1050 2GB Intel 256 GB m.2 NVME SSD So got it all taken apart, cleaned and looked over for defects and the lid for the dead screen also cleaned up and bend into shape as to be a cover for the machine. Fixed up a 135W PSU whit the correct plug and designed and 3D printed some feet for it to be mounted vertically behind my TV. There is no build in wifi card at the moment af the wifi antennas where torn off when the screen died so anyway now it just plugged in with an ethernet cable .. So BOOM and a new livingroom PC for games and media consumption on the TV.

It must be ... As your face will not get any OPPRESSION fom Linus if you use it or something...............

I was looking for an Halo strap for the Oculus Quest 1 and was browsing on Aliexpress.. and came across this "This head-mounted product protects your face from oppression, No Red marks on your face, Say goodbye to discomfort." https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000266667272.html They could at least have put an LTTstore link on the page
