  1. Well if you can get a new one for ~20 bucks, get a new one. An old used one you'll never now how long for example the lil power adapter will work.
  2. Yes the 12 Pro has 50+50+50 mp on the back while the 12 has 50+13+15, on the front they are the same. If you want some examples: I think I made all of them with the xiaomi 12. The lighting conditions were awful =) that is why I call my appartement "The Cave" Ever tried making a photo with an MS-DOS Smartphone?
  3. Xiaomis version of android is ok... less bloat that samsung. and then I usually put the microsoft launcher on top.
  4. covering this? Send Luke he'll have a blast I cen imagine
  5. dunno why but this melody stuck in my head and searched for it... after hearing it once, the head loop is gone =)
  6. Did that too when I grabbed it for aroun ~ 800 bucks... Before that I daily drove my Nokia Lumia 830... which still is in use. But Windows Mobile, you don't get much software for it anymoe... a few pieces I miss on android... SkyMap for example with its features... Alternate does some blogs for phones in different price brakcets on their site Techrush... perhaps take a look there.
  7. Curently Vampire Survivors, Heretics Forge, just done Remnats of the Ashes, More Ore, Cyber Punk, DBZ Kakarott... sheesh there was more... but I forgot...
  8. Replacement Parts for my Homlab/Mediaserver Mainboard, CPU, RAM, CPU Cooler, wanted to try out the new EKL Alpenföhn Panorama II, and not on the picture a 750 watt cooler master 80+ Gold PSU...
  9. sounds like a piece of software with a nasty memory leak... I just buffed up my media/homelab server with 64 gb and it isn't using that much... ok it's win 10 pro but still.. having 3 vm's on hyper-V runnning and the total memory usage is about: The machine itself on the Win 10 side is also running XAMPP, Filezilla SFTP Server, Kodi and some smaller stuff... Try to locate the memory hogger with the task manager... else what RONOTHAN## already asked for... Cheers Ang
  10. You can get the Xiaomi 12 right now for around mid 300 €. I still daily drive this, well it's not that old ^^ The battery lasts me a full day without fail, it can QI charge, what I mostly use, and I even forgotten it at work a few times, picking it up the next mornig with still 50+% on the battery. Cheers Ang
  11. Depending on Skills and Knowledge how to clean that out manually wth tools and by hand, either reformat and do a fresh install (the usually best way) or try to find out which virus it is and search he net how to remove it "by hand" ... If your System is rather fresh with not much on it go the safe route and do a clean install.
  12. I would for starters, if the system supports virtualization, put a windows 10 on it. then hyper-v for a linux setup On the windows you can use the Google and onedrive Plugins to mirror the online stuff. You can setup Plex or Kodi on the Linux set up a Nextcloud for Mobile picture and file sync. I got my own Home"Lab" here it started as a Core2Duo E8400 and Windows, 1,5 tb diskspace and 8gb ram. Running then Windows 10 and XBMC. Now the machine got through several iterations.. I got a post for that her in the forums. In Short base OS is win 10 Pro running: Hyper-V running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, that running Docker with Wireguard, NPM, PiHole, Wazuh, PFSense Kodi 22.irgendwas SFTP Server Feel free to send me any questions.
  13. So after quite some 7+ Years running 24/7 the Board decided only to use 2 of 3 PCIE Slots... Trying several different Bios versions, only the gtx 1060 and raid controller, or a network card and raid controller, or 1 network card and the gfx card, but not each of those three are working... With that out of my fingers, another "ugrade" is happening. The parts arrived I'm going to pick them up. so if everything works well: Old Things to go : ASRock Z87 Extreme TB4 32 GB DDR3 GF 1060 LSI Megaraid and all the other stuff inside New things gooing in: Aorus B550 Elite AX V2 64 GB Mushkin DDR4 3200 GF 1060 AMD Ryzen 5700X LSI Megaraid and all the other stuff inside like hdds, ssds, bdrom etc... Lets start... First the new pieces: And the good old machine... chuff chuff it could... until... lately... Saying goodbye while putting the new warrior together: Now put into it's home: And back onto its place: Firing it up and: After a quick session in the bios: loking good... but well that was where it looped... So back into the bios it was, disable trusted computing, and it was back booting up into windows. mind the old installation. So what to do now? Open up the device manager and in set the hook on "show hidden devices" ... and start removing all that are "foggy", then removing all the software for the old board, install the drivers, queue up a bios update and off we go to another reboot. Well all looks nice but the Hyper-V environment. wouldn't start. So back into the Bios it was, and let me tell you, the Gigabyte Bios is bad from the menus and tabs... after a few minutes back and forth I finally found the vt-d version of AMD IOMMU etc. and reenabled it. Got disabled after the bios update. One boot later Hyper-V was back up again. So right now FTP Server, KODI, Linux VM with Docker runniing NPM, WAZUH, PiHole, Portainer and Wireguard and the machine isn't even breaking a little sweat. The old one was becoming slow as soon as wirrguard was active. Swapping out the GF 560 with the GF 1060 will decrease the idle wattage down a little over 100 watts. The new PSU is 80+ gold, instead of 80+ bronze as the one before. One drive got disconnected while putting the psu cables inside. So that is why one drive pool is degraded. It should be done with it's rebuild in a few hours. Now I'm puzzled about the next update... we'll see. Cheers Ang
  14. a special edition of 98 SEF, it has had some work from some students picking the most stable things from 98 and 98 SE, even usb was working like a charm or the network stack... After that win 2000 ... it was way more performant than XP. but sadly it had to go due to hardware driver support. After 2k my favorite was 7, and now 10.
  15. In addition to what @emosun said, hte "frntpanel" hasnt got usb C, only 2x USB A 3.x and one 2.x USB A ... So if you want to have USB C your mainboard need to have it on the back IO.
  16. And back with the livin... or online... after 2 Weeks of only LTE and even that broken due to a faulty antenna outside from the provider, today the fiber is getting into the xmas spirit again and started glowing. Server gone... *poof* So first here is the old new case with its 8 drives: The reason why I wanted to swap out the case again were the dual drive cages. Even though the space is enough, cooling too, those cages have no hdd decoupling, so the vibrations with 8 HDDs were way to noisy to have that machine standing in its place, next to the TV/Receiver etc. So out everything has to go... The ADATA SSD got swapped with a MX500 1 TB, due to having only 240 GB space for the hyper-v virtualization. So the new case is a Fractal Design Define XL R2: I already plugged one of the cages out to rotate them 90° . In the beginning the case comes with 3 fans, one in the front, one in the back and one on the bottom. The bottom one needed to move, else the drive cages can't be moved to where they should go. So out it went and got moved to the front, so that 2 of them are now blowing cool outside air through the drives. Cage turned, first connections made: And both cages in: And everything connected up: Partslist: Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2 PSU: Cooler Master V550 full modular Mainboard: AsRock Z87 Extreme 4 TB CPU: Intel Core I7 4770S GFX Card: Gainward Phantom GTX 560 (still got a Phantom 760 here, may swap it in) Ram: 32 GB DDR 3 1600 Drives: 1x Crucial MX300 250 GB, 1x Crucial MX500 1 TB, 4x Seagate Ironwolf 4TB SATA drives configured as Raid 5, 4x WD Red 4TB SATA drives configured as Raid 5 Raid Controller: Avago/IBM Megaraid 5015 with BBU added and SAS to SATA 4 way splitter cable. OS: Windows 10 professional current build 64 Bit Hyper-V: Ubuntu Server LTS 22.04 Services: Open Kodi, PiHole, XAMPP, ... Right now I'm sifting through all the stuff to remove double files, when done I'll rebuild the backup and add services to hte Linux VM like Nextcloud, WAZUH, and other stuff. If you want a little guide how to set up the Hyper-V with the additional NIC, let me know.
  17. And the next iteration for this small cutie. Due to the Cipher being a nice case for 8+ 3.5" HDDs it has a drawback for me. The drives aren't dcoupled from their mounting cages. So the now 8 drives inside make the case humm to a level where it is distracting for having it in the livingroom. If I had the same drives as SSDs I really wouldn't care, but sadly even though having a nice job and having gotten the december gratification, didn't sway me to buy 8 4tb sata SSD drive but to stick to the 8 spinning 3.5" ones. So I went out and did what I often did when building a new machine and grabbed my still favorite bigtower case the Fractal design Define XL R2. This will now be the fourth one here at home. Well it definetly has no rgb bling to it, or what I call "Ninja RGB" (TM by me). Grabbing my tools I'll head over to make the tower move. I'll post pics at a later date due to working on LTE right now, because some numb nut set the buildings fibre box on fire. Provider told It'll take 1-3 weeks to get prermission from firedepartement and police to start fixing it. So all ~50 flats are right now cut of from cable tv, telephone or internet... With this out... let me start ^^ Cheers Ang
  18. This: https://www.amazon.de/Fractal-Design-Gehäuse-Modding-schwarz/dp/B00AZQTZFU/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2C52236TQHOO4&keywords=fractal+design+define+xl+r2&qid=1701778583&sprefix=fractal+design+define+xl+r2%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-2 Because this: https://www.alternate.de/Aerocool/Cipher-S-BK-v1-Tower-Gehäuse/html/product/1824341?sug=Aerocool Ciph Has no decoupled hdd sleds making the case humm like a hornets nest. So it was only in place for 4 weeks...
  19. First try updateing the bios... YES it can brick the baord if all constellations fit right, but I had never fail an bios update on me in 20 years. If the board is then dead, you can get a new one...
  20. I think @leclodis asking if the new PSU is the same Model as the dead one. This may be important because cable managed PSU may not use the same Pinout so that using cables from a different brand, even if they might fit into the psu side, may deliver shorts and wrong voltages due to different pinouts on the PSU side.
  21. if you go for defrag, try out O&O Defrag... for years now way better than the build in Microsoft stuff.
