My Dodge Journey (aka Fiat Freemont) averages around 20-22MPG with a 3.6L V6. TBH, I think it's tuned for power vs efficiency, since it's rated at something like 280HP (substantially more than the 4.7L V8 in my old Jeep somehow). The absolute highest I ever got it was 29.9 by drafting a semi doing 65MPH for like 80 miles...

Can I use a usb c hub to charge my from input side
AbydosOne replied to Austin Selman's topic in Phones and Tablets
No. PD is pretty strictly an input generally. -
How to properly remove HDD from HDD docking station?
AbydosOne replied to VoidThinker's topic in Storage Devices
You should at least remove power and wait for the drive to spin down before moving it. -
I've had three XFX cards over the years: HD 6870 that I bought on the tail end of the first mining craze (think 2013) and was my GPU for several years, even after driver support ended. RX 5600 XT that I ended up RMAing on the last possible day due to black screens and driver hangs. RX 6600 I got as the replacement, which has been solid since. IMO, XFX had good service during my RMA process, and I really do like their designs vs other AIB partners, so I'll give them a little leeway on my quality issue.

did i get scammed by a UnionSine External Hard Drive
AbydosOne replied to landawg's topic in Storage Devices
... It has 30000 mostly-positive reviews; it's fine. If you're really concerned, run a pass of h2test on it. -
Looking to purchase a wireless printer server
AbydosOne replied to thefrecklepuny's topic in Networking
You don't need a wireless print server if it already supports network printing, just get a Wifi Ethernet bridge (like this) that can convert Wifi back to Ethernet.- 1 reply

Yes, this is possible using a self-hosted VPN, like PiVPN (which, contrary to its name, can run on pretty much any *nix server, not just RasPis). Follow tutorials available online for setting up a Wireguard VPN.
-
Get a pair of Unifi Loco M5ACs and call it a day. There are tutorials available for setting them up as a wireless bridge. The catch (maybe) being that they're passive PoE powered (but you can buy PoE+ adapters). That seems like overkill/tinkeryish for a few hundred feet...

I checked CrystalDiskInfo during the whole process and didn't see anything amiss, aside from a high value of logged events on my secondary 960 PRO (which is like seven years old at this point). I reseated it just in case.

Had a really weird issue last night...
First symptom: couldn't open one specific file I had just created. Any process that tried to access it would just stall (including del). Okay, reboot.
Second symptom: Windows now would bog down dramatically about 15 seconds after dropping to Desktop. Problem wouldn't appear in Safe Mode. Event Viewer didn't really have a smoking gun.
I removed the 10G NIC (I've had a couple Mellanox ConnectX-n cards go bad) but it still didn't fix it.
I DDU'd my GPU drivers. Back in normal mode, the first attempt at driver installation failed because of Windows Update (???). Second attempt succeeded, but Windows bogged down a couple times during the install process.
Now it seems fine? Just an annoying way to spend 1.5 hours.

Sounds like it could be a drive problem, either poor connection or failing.

Is the motherboard BIOS up to date? Is there an option for "Above 4G Decoding" somewhere in the BIOS?
-
Yeah, usually I will map both (Unifi has the option for both) for any given port to simplify matters.
-
Is your "public IP" globally unique or does your ISP have another router above you? (i.e. double NAT) Does your routers WAN IP address match your public IP?
-
Did you "open" the port, or did you "forward" the port to the specific IP of your RasPi? You need to do the latter in order for traffic to pass from outside network to inside device.
-
You can turn on "metered connection" in the settings, but that really only effects Windows update downloads, etc., I don't think it effects any other background tasks.

That's 5GHz band Wi-fi, not 5G cellular. This will probably only make things worse, but explain to her that it's the exact same radiation as 4G, just in a different pattern...

Unable to find a driver for keyboard+trackpad for my x206h asus laptop
AbydosOne replied to Lord Szechenyi's topic in Windows
Did you go look at the Asus drivers page? -
(to be clear, I say this as a daily user of a DisplayLink device) Not a big fan of docks that rely on third-party development to ensure their continued compatibility (i.e. DisplayLink). While it does work, there are explicit limitations (the screens aren't GPU accelerated in the same manner) that some users may not be prepared for. IMO, there's not much that sets this apart from any of the other myriad Taiwanese/Chinese brands selling docks on Amazon. I would rather LTT avoided sponsoring "brands" that are abusing/muddling the US Patent Office trademark application process and stick to established brands that care to maintain/foster a proper brand image in the US/world.

"Size on Disk" accounts for compression (SoD smaller than Size) as well as file system block size overhead (SoD larger than Size). The latter arises from files smaller than the minimum block (minimum addressable unit) size of a drive (usually something like 4KB/8KB/32KB), so files that are smaller than that still will "fill" the entire block and will show the size of the block (times N, where N is the number of blocks needed). This tends to be negligible (as a ratio to file size) for larger files, but you can usually see it with small text files. As for compression, TrueNAS has it turned on by default so it will almost always show smaller SoD than the actual reported size. As a parting gift, though, I will leave you with this: (I actually don't have a good answer for that...)

In the words of Adam Savage: "I can do the average in my head!"
My rep:post ratio has been steadily climbing for a while. 75% isn't too bad. -
the "magic blue smoke" happened to me
AbydosOne replied to spicyFPS's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Did you reuse any modular cabled from the Corsair with the BeQuiet? Note that modular cables are NOT standardized and can in turn misroute power if used incorrectly. -
Corollary: don't freak out when your computer blacks out when playing with a magnet around the palmrest (no HDD). Been there, done that.

I get what he means, but literally read, that is a really stupid quote.

Currently have the opposite problem with my HDMI->DVI monitor (that has a power issues and shuts itself completely off after a random period of time) but still shows up as a display to Windows so stuff can get lost on it if I'm too lazy to turn it back on again. (I'm was just testing that display out before I decided how to get rid of it and haven't been motivated enough to swap it back yet.) TBH, disconnecting an "off" display seems like the right answer if it mitigates office drones from asking "why is [program] not starting?" and discovering they have 65 instances running on their powered-down monitor. However, I suspect the behavior of on->present/off->not-present is handled by the monitor scaler and not the GPU or else we would have had a software toggle for this years ago.

So I realized last night that we've had 4Kp60 HDMI 2.0(+) for almost 10 years now (like, since the RX480 came out)... for whatever reason, I still assume HDMI is 1080p60 unless I specifically went out of my way to ensure it was 2.0+. I've just been using DP the whole time (because it's better).
