I have a Lenovo Y27q 20 that I do everything on and want to get a second monitor. I never thought I would want a dual monitor setup, but I'm finding I'm tired of alt + tabbing on projects lately. Does it really matter what I get or should I get a monitor with similar specs? Thank you!

I ordered a new mini-pc that I plan to try OPNsense on. I been using pfSense for about five years now. The more I think about it, I do like the idea of just having an AP out of the box and not have to mess with configuring OpenWRT. I just need to find one with an ethernet port out to feed my daughters computers that's in the general location of the existing AP she runs off of hardwired.
-
You make a good point. I'll have to take a closer look at those. Thank you!

Well I have it set up as a good ol dumb AP. I already had it and I knew I could put OpenWRT. At one time I was using it as a router but after I got into pfSense I converted that nighthawk to the dark side.

Coil whine seems to be getting worse and it's annoying. I'm gonna have to find a replacement soon.

Productivity software, games and occasionally compiling from source.

I been using the Netgear R7500v2 as an AP for several years now. I use it inline with my pfSense router and a cisco sg300 switch. I know its getting a bit old and its time to upgrade. Whats a newer router yall are running OpenWRT on that won't break the bank?

This is my parts list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jaisonb/builds/#view=Gvt8TW Just wondering if you think there were any worthy upgrades for this AM4 system. Thanks.

1: Daughter has Win 10. I set her up to use Firefox with uBlock Origin plugin. Just today she couldn't watch videos until i disabled for the YouTube site. 2: I have Fedora. I am using Firefox and uBlock too. YouTube isn't prompting me to disable the ad-blocker. I can watch ad free with no problem. Why the difference between the two?

I have a T14 Gen 1 AMD. I have the model with Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U and 16GB onboard ram. I added another 16GB of crucial ram. It's been about two years since I bought it. Back in August I started having browser crashes. I ran the Lenovo diagnostic utility which resulted in a failed memory test. I pulled my stick out and ran the test again which still failed. I backed up my drive with PartedMagic. I opened up a repair ticket September 1st. I received my shipping box September 8th. I sent it in and they did their thing. I got it back September 19. The work order receipt said they replaced memory. I really didn't think much of it. Later that day or the next day, I booted up PartedMagic and it was awfully slow. Something wasn't right. I ran another diagnostic and wouldn't you know that the memory test failed. I opened it up to pull the stick of ram. My memory I bought was gone! In its place was 8GB ramaxel. September 20th I called in to tech support and I stated my concern about the missing memory and the memory test failure. Dude said he's going to email the depot. A week later I haven't heard from anyone. I then went to the site to look at my ticket and saw an option to escalate unresolved service. September 28th I get an email from a case manager Rosemary regarding my case about the missing ram. I was told the depot had been notified and they would need some time to research the repair case. October 3rd I get another email from Rosemary that they will replace the memory and to verify my shipping address. I replied back but in my mind I am saying you folks have my address. I hear nothing more. October 10th I get a phone call from Delfina checking up on the case. We talked a bit. She asked to reply back to her email with the exact model of my missing stick of ram. Bam! They purchased it from a 3rd party and I got it the next day. That same day I received it, the depot was shipping out a replacement that I returned. Sweet! I got my memory but I still have an onboard memory problem. Here we go again. I opened up another ticket October 12th. I wasn't waiting for a box, so I just paid to get it there. They received it October 17th. I got it back October 27th. They replaced the system board. My plan was to put my ram in and restore my drive, but wouldn't you know that I cant eject the sim card tray that I need to remove to access the inside. I'm sure I could get inside but being under warranty still, I don't want to break anything. No more memory failures though! I been sitting on this wondering what to do. I tried reaching out to support and escalating it but I haven't heard anything. I can't believe it myself.

True. They did replace it with a 60GB mSata Amazon renewed drive and apologized they were on a business trips.

https://www.newegg.com/dogfish-ssdnow-ssd-64gb/p/0D9-00AP-00023?Item=9SIAG9J7CW7416 They finally got back to me today. I purchased it for $26 a couple years ago for my DIY pfSense router. I know it's not a lot of money, but a warranty is a warranty. The drive failed and it should be honored.
-
They say you get what you pay for but there weren't many affordable options for mSata at the time I ordered it. Had a drive failure in my pfSense router. I tried to work with them, but I received no more responses.

if you go into the UEFI and go to the boot screen, you should be able to see which one it is. You can also create a live usb of something like https://gparted.org/. in the gparted program there's a drop down on menu on the top right. Select the drive and you should see partitions similar to my screenshot. Remove a drive then refresh to see if its still there or not.

Yeah. I'll probably upgrade it soon. Speaking of this AIO, pcpartpicker had a note on it"Note: The EVGA CLC 280 113.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard." Any idea what they are talking about?
