    BHuff04 got a reaction from dinkostinko in Using a portable router at my school without getting caught?   
    My school is annoying and doesn't offer any WiFi for students even though we have a million different networks for staff and faculty members. The main issue is that there is literally NO SERVICE in the area. Even doing something as simple as sending a text is impossible...
     
    The good news is that I found this RAV File Hub portable router that can extend the school networks signal when I plug the hub into one of the network ports inside classrooms. Before covid, I would use it all the time and it worked great. The issue is, the "IT" guy found the network and saw that I had 50 plus people connected to it and was able to somehow track it down and confiscate it. I got it back right before covid hit thankfully, but I don't want to get caught with it again. School has started back up and I really want to bring in my macbook in so I can finish developing an app I'm working on right now, but I'm not tryna get suspended for something stupid like this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may be able to hide the network or prevent me from being tracked? 
     
    My RAV file hub has an app that allows me to change settings such as the SSID, Mode, Security, Channel, etc, so I'm thinking there's maybe some settings I may be able to configure that may help. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

    Hello all, I just replaced a broken MSI board for an ASUS Strix B450-i motherboard, and get absolutely no post. My peripherals don't even light up. I've had this problem many times with different machines so I know that the best solution is to remove the CMOS battery. The problem is that I can't find any CMOS battery anywhere. I've never worked with a Mini ITX board before, so maybe there is a smaller battery type than the standard CMOS battery? The manual clearly states to remove the onboard battery if shorting the two pins does not work, so I'm assuming that there has to be some kind of battery. I posted pictures of the front and rear of the board. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I just Re-Plugged everything in with a different PSU and still nothing. Is there a way I can update the BIOS even when it's not posting?

    BHuff04 got a reaction from BTGbullseye in Which GPU for 1440p gaming and VR?   
    I think the RX 5700 XT and 2070 Super are definitely both good options for 1440p, but overall, a RX 5700 XT is a much better value (Around $500 for 2070S compared to only around $350 for an XT). If you're going to spend the money for a 2070 Super, I would honestly just go to a 2080. It's not much more expensive.
