I started with the Reds and was thinking about adding the Golds or similar Seagate 7200 RPM drives.

Of course I mean fly and then drive, or you could use the Armtracks and then drive.

Even if I lived there I'd still rent cars and trucks wherever I traveled. Anyway, Snowhiker doesn't live in NYC. I remember many times as a child being crammed in the back of a 1962 Corvair with no A/C driving around the Phoenix area. It was horrible in the summer after the car had been...

My point is that it can be nice to drive sometimes and it's not a bad use of money to have a better or particular use vehicle. :)

So do you already have one for evaluation? :lol: Thanks, but it's not exactly what I had hoped. 12 is too many cores. I'd rather have less cores and more speed, but it looks like the CPUs with fewer than 10 cores have crippled PC lanes. :( I assume the configuration is based on the server...

I hope he is still out there somewhere, watching the Guardashians of the Galaxies or one like that.

I recall in days of yore there were dire warnings about mismatched drives in the RAID. Does it matter much nowadays if a new drive of another model/RPM is added to a NAS so long as they are all NAS/enterprise grade drives?

You know he is also not having much luck with a bike. :lol: I have not been on a bike bike since the early 70s and am somehow surviving. Commuting to/from work or running necessary errands in traffic or with bad weather, etc. is often unpleasant. Aside from that, some people like to drive and...

Brakes and rotors are wear parts, but I would be a bit suspicious of the need to replace other parts of the brake system. How old is the vehicle and is it possible there was water ingress?

I doubt it will be all of a sudden, and if it is the water level would be the least of your problems. :D

Coug, are you OK up there with all the flooding we see on the news? It does not look good. :(

No it is not. I had a G31 board that died after 3.5 years with similar flakiness at the end. Cheap crap.

I have a 6L reactor in the kitchen, but it has no USB ports. :)

No, you don't need an incremental upgrade. Concentrate on your education. ;)

Nah, it is priceless. :)

There is some kind of inductive force on the wheel, like an alternator or generator under load. I thought rotating was close enough. :lol:

I have been informed that the exercise is called spinning, which is also strange.

I recall some 'riding' with Susie but she was not lazy. :D

I rotate on the stationary machine.

There are no centrifuges here. :)

The grim reality is that KVM is rather pointless above 1920x1200 unless every device has the same outputs. DP/mini-DP is the most common denominator of the devices. What do you think of the IONEAR GCS1934 KVM?

I replaced the cable with a mini-DP to DVI adapter. I also have another of those on the NUC and HMDI to DVI for the Lenovo, so four computers are working on the old KVM now. :)

Thanks. The P1000 is not working with the KVM, but perhaps that is due to the DP to DVD cable. It is surprising how small the video card is compared to the old fanless GeForce. I have an inherent distrust of the weenie little fans and whatever happens when they fail.

Why would you use the D500?

For now I will use the old Win7 5930K, but eventually an upgrade or urgent replacement will be needed.

I hope it is just the lack of internet and not anything else. You are still in school?

Not being in IT it seems to me that a computer in a locked room that is not connected to the internet is more secure than a computer with the latest OS that is connected to the internet. Is that so wrong?

I don't want to Shanghai.

Will it fail to boot?

Do you ever feel that people are after you, perhaps the Koreans or Chinese?;)

If Windows 10th is not on the internet, does it expire or cease?

Why not post, of course without qraphic details?

I will order the P1000 this week depending on the Boston-Miami incident. I would be able to use the video card for a couple of years in a different computer with updates, right?

Naturally I picked the odd one. :lol: Power control works with the mini DP so I may be able to stack it in the corner.

5i7RYH.

That looks like it is for W10 versions, but I don't know the mechanical differences from the older NUC I bought.

Thanks. I would not allow the videos on the computer. It's amazing how cheap the consumer video displays like the LG are. I don't know why the photo monitors are 4x.

Goofy Milleniums with "budget" cameras, eh?

Dare I ask what you are using for the 4K, 10-bit display? I'm not using W10 and rental software so it's not really an option, not to mention the >$5K prices.

Thanks so much. The P1000 seems reasonably priced and I assume it's not consuming 47W until there is a load. Here is the video card that Dave would use. :rofl:

Which video card would be good for 10-bit output? I was reading something about the internal graphics not being that and people buy the Quattro video, but I'm a bit clueless. I don't want a huge flamethrower of a card for the 3rd dimensions, but one that will operate at reasonably low power...

Sometimes it just takes the last straw to break the camel's hump.

I hope not and don't see how we could find that without a bit of prying. I know nobody technically owes anyone anything, but an explanation would mean a lot. I would not leave permanently without a goodbye.

The CPU operates at 45-48ºC on idle to low use and reaches up to 100°C under the burning load. It ranges from 80-85°C at 100% load on the more mundane tasks like file compression or backups. In practice the fan is either medium or high speed. The noise over 65 is worse than I expected. :(

That's always good advice. I'm really hoping for an improved a7R III with 50-60MP at 8-10 FPS. The a9 has the crippling problems of only one fast memory card slot and lack of lossless compressed RAW files. There was some improvement a year or so ago when a lossless RAW format was introduced...

The NUC seems to work. There is some fan noise that becomes loud under load and I have not connected the NADS yet. However, the main issue now is that I can't figure out an easy way to turn it on without the power button. I expected to be able to set the power off resume state to ON and then...

I'm sure it has better noise than the a7R II and worse than the a7S II, but I think it remains to be determined how much if any it is improved over the a7 II.

Something is not quite right. I'm concerned about the mental conditions. If it had been 15 years ago I would have tried to track him down in Illinois if that would have helped.

You are going wide rather than tele I assume. It's a strange camera choice for most uses. Are you getting an A7r II as well or just the low-res event body?

Well I have one on the way. I'm hoping to move my old 7 installation to it on Sundays. If I like it I may buy another NUC for Windows 10 in July. It looks like they all have DPP and HDMI of some sort.
