  1. Any moderetly modern computer, as in any made in 1dk probably the last 15 years, won't require a crossover cable, however you may have issues bridging wifi to ethernet and would have to put the server under a NAT which could be slightly problematic
  2. Hey, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I recently got my hands on an old server motherboard, it was apparently used in some sort of print server, but i can't find any additional information on it other than one forum post, and one ebay listing. I'm wondering if anyone would be able to assist me in finding a manual or some other documentation on this motherboard, its a TYAN S7019, and is also listed on the board itself as an S7019-EFI, I've tried scouring the TYAN website, and everywhere else i could think to look, for the manuals, but I couldn't find it, it doesn't even exist on the TYAN website.
  3. definetly dual boot, because then you can get the most performance out of linux/windows since is is a bit difficult and unstable when forwarding pci devices to a vm
  4. i would reccomend throwing linux onto a usb and booting into that, and dd'ing the original drive to the new one e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb and then launch gparted and expand the partition
  5. just delete the partitions, or do the usual sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
  6. oh you say you want something that isnt one of the big 3, well i would say reactos is too similar to windows, and BSD is too similar to linux since they are both UNIX and POSIX compliant, so i would say, TempleOS. Also for anyone who is saying things like chromeOS, android x86 and steamOS, those are all linux. Also i dont see why you cant just use some form of linux, or some other POSIX compliant OS.
  7. it sounds like it is just a propietary connector for sata, which means you wouldnt beable to run anything PCI related off of it since it really does just sound like it is a glorified sata connector
  8. i just get the little image not loaded thing and "Dreamplay" slightly cut off, have your tried shaking it?
  9. if you are wishing to do tasks like photo editing, an android based tablet wouldnt be the best option, but you could probably veyr easily go for a 2-in-1 since those normally have the benefits of a laptop in a tablet-ish form, also is there even a specific reason as to why you cant use a regular laptop? because regular laptops also normally still have better performance/battery life than a 2-in-1, which also has more battery life than what a tablet with the same performance would have edit: if you did go for a laptop, you would get no portability in an old toshiba tecra a9, it is a thicc beast, even though i take it everywhere while it sticks out of the bag
  10. if in doubt, update bios, if in doubt again, reinstall windows, if in doubt more, see what linux has to say, if in doubt more, ask someone who isnt me
  11. i personally dont see many reasons as to why you would do this instead of just using normal music software, but you would beable to try doing it using python, and this would allow you to program in when exactly you want it to trigger and exactly what you want it to do.
  12. This is happening due to the redefinition of global variables inside of a function without specifying that they are a global variable first in the function. e.g. sorry for it not being the best example, im just too dead to beable to do anything else right now
  13. for android what i use is called "vinyl music player" if i am remembering it's name right. also for pc i use foobar2000, amazing music playing software, although i gotta run it in wine sadly
  14. was gonna say that, but i thought it wouldnt be taken seriously if i did that
  15. if it fits, it works, given that it is a working cable in the first place, but they are all the same really
  16. they usually dont take anything out unless it is a catastrophic failiure, in which case loosing some components will be the least of your worries, but normally it just becomes unstable power delivery on something like the 5V or 12V rail under load and slowly gets worse over time, although it sounds like it could be an issue on the high voltage side of the psu where it handles the ac, which could explain the buzzing noise, since both buzzing and ac power can be described as "Jiggly waves". in which case you probably should keep a fire extinguisher nearby if it goes south
  17. if the psu is like atleast 20 years old, call up AkBKukU for help, he can save any old psu's, using the powers of recapping it, and if it is newer than 20 years old... i hope you have a warranty for it.
  18. you could always go for some sort of touch keyboard, or you could always go the option which will cause zero sound from keystrokes, because you dont press things, you use voice commands, or as Amir likes to call them, Job Commands. I swear if nobody gets that reference ill be angry and sad at the same time, but more sad.
  19. keeping it spinning for extended periods of time can cause unnecessary damage with prolonged use, although apparently crystaldiskinfo can do it if you go into aapm/apm control according to a 15 second goggle search. although there isnt really too much of a reason to stop the hdd from spinning down if you want it to last as long as possible
  20. if you cannot handle any performance impact caused by recording software, grab a second machine that is only powerful enough to record, and a video in card for it, and just get a splitter to split your video between your monitor and recorder, this would allow you to also have the recording software run very isolated compared to your main pc, meaning if the game killed the main pc, you wouldnt loose the recording. also, do not shake recording pc.
  21. i'm pretty sure cat5e would beable to handle 25MBps, and it would definetly handle 25Mbps no problem, although there is no harm in going cat6 since i'm pretty sure cat6 are normally more reliable anyway, and you wouldnt have to get new cables in future, although in saying that, i have on lan hit gigabit speeds with a cat5e cable, but if in doubt, go for cat6 since theyre pretty cheap now anyway i think, and would cost barely any more than cat5e
  22. your internet speed will have no effect on what your computer will and wont detect, the cable will work fine. and honestly if sub 5mbps speeds stopped cat6 from working, my 50kbps internet would cause nothing to work, but because all cables are is literally just some wires that are basically the same between types, just with some slight changes, it wont matter because the cable will work, also you dont need the cat6 cables unless you will have a link to that machine that will make use of the extra bandwidth. also, do not shake internet cables or internet cats get angrie
  23. honestly you would probably have more luck with reactOS at this point that using actual windows 10, maybe even templeOS could work better
  24. also DO NOT SHAKE WHILE IN USE... shaking may cause some Rapid Unplanned Dissasembly or RUD for short... and RUD is not a good thing to have happening inside of a PSU, that PSURUD is a bad... i dont know where i'm going with this, ill just end it here.
