    happymax1212 got a reaction from Frownwarrior in What server-"typ" to get for an "all MAC company"   
    Perhaps a Mac mini 2018 with Core i3/i5 and 10G Ethernet? Connect it to some thunderbolt drive bay. That should be sufficient, and running macOS means it can support apple file sharing protocols. Or the core i7 model, if they need some video rendering performance. 
    I wouldn’t recommend macOS server though, that software isn’t going to be supported or updated in the future. But macOS itself is sufficient for your need.

    happymax1212 got a reaction from LAwLz in What does Linus use for his "comparison" to iMacs?   
    I believe Linus already talked about this way back in the iMac Pro video. He was trying to make a build as similar to the iMac as possible. Of course you can achieve better performance with less money by giving up feautures or parts you don't need, but someone will need the feature you gave up, and that's why these people will go for the iMac. Computers are really tools, getting the right tool for the right workflow is the key. For some people, Mac is the right tools, and for others, PCs are. The computer should serve its purpose well, that's what matters.

    First of all, that screen you chose isn't 5k and has nowhere near the pixel density of a 5k iMac. 
    Second, the qlc sata ssd... Seriously, did you really check what Apple put in iMacs? At least a nvme ssd with TLC nand, please...
    By the way, iMac is an AIO. It takes up less space and looks clean on the desk. There're people who do need these kind of machines rather than PCs in cases and are willing to pay for that. There's no point convincing everyone to avoid Macs and switch to PC.

    happymax1212 got a reaction from mirddes in This Chinese Motherboard Shows Intel LIED...   
    The H310C chipset is a 22nm edition of the H310 chipset. 
    All 100, 200 and 300 series motherboards can support skylake, Kabylake and Coffeelake CPUs, with modified BIOS and CPU Microcodes. There’re only minor differences in pin layouts between the LGA1151 from skylake/kabylake and the one from coffeelake, only 2 more pins are utilized for power delivery.  You can run a quad core 8th gen CPU like the i3 8100 with only the BIOS modification on a 100 or 200 series motherboard, but if you wish to use 6-or-8-core CPUs with 100/200 series motherboard, you’ll need to disable the two pins (and possibly a few other pins according to the design of your motherboard, because some brands have unused pins attached to power as well) with tapes, or else the current on those 2 pins WILL DAMAGE the board. A high quality old board is better for this purpose, because 6-and-8-core CPUs do consume more power. Because manufacturers didn’t test newer CPUs on old boards, CPU voltage might be a little higher than expected, but you can adjust it manually.

    happymax1212 got a reaction from bragghy in Red Star OS   
    I've tried it in VM and it's basically a Fedora with OS X shell. They did a good job developing a DE so similar to OS X 10.5...... But that's red star 3.0 Version 2.0 looks like Windows XP. Files opened in red star OS, though I didn't change or save it, have different MD5 afterwards, so it's true the OS modified them without approval. And furthermore, though this distro does include a YUM package manager, it's very limited and cannot be used to install other apps.

    happymax1212 reacted to seagate_surfer in Should Mechanical drives be turned off automatically by the system on a NAS?   
    You've got two different drive types, the IronWolf, which is meant for NAS and to be running 24/7, and the BarraCuda, which is not meant for NAS and meant to run up to 8 hours a day x 5 days a week. So it's actually good for the BarraCuda to spin down when not being utilized, because that is how it's firmware is designed to work, but it can cause NAS drives to wear down quicker, because their firmware is designed to always keep the drive spinning.

    We always advocate two big rules:
    1. Use any drive for the purpose it was engineered for.
    2. Always back up your data.

    But usually when I use this laptop I'm on the move. I've got a desktop to use at home.
