    NAS Drive

    So Windows will have a MTU setting for the 520DA2? There is nothing on the network but the NAS and two computers on separate 10GbE cables. The GbE ports are set to 1500 and I would not change settings since that is on a switch with 6-7 devices plugged in.

    No, it was the network setting that ranges from 1500 to 9000. Do you use it?

    If there is no open bar, does that mean the guests receive a few tickets each or nothing at all? If the latter, that would be a really cheapskate wedding.

    Yeah, I suppose so. If I could use the WOL the NAS would be another 1.5m+ away and the noise would be acceptable.

    I think it's fairly common for short "sermon", though typically statements are made relevant to the couple. At the last wedding I attended there were a few remarks that were offensive to various people, but nothing extreme or as long as you mentioned. Referring to the bride as Mrs. [husband's...

    The fan operates at about 500 RPM on low and 1200 RPM on medium. On low fans the system temp is 38°C, but the drives are ~46. I suppose that is fine, but I'd like them to be a little cooler for long-term use. AT 1200 RPM the system temp is 28 and drive temps are 31-32, so you can see that I'd...

    Of course it is not absolutely needed, but I prefer to see everything as clearly as possible. :) Vision is one of the few senses that can be well corrected inexpensively and noninvasively.

    So I finally picked out the 831X and after several problems, I think it is working well enough. I'm getting high 400s for reads and high 300s for writes according to the benchmarks. Actual transfer rates from other drives are slower, but I'm not seeing any CPUs at 100%. Despite transfer...

    question Glasses

    My distance vision is still good so I only need glasses for near vision. Maybe Joe is always living up close, but overall it is better to not need distance correction. I pass the visual driver's test in the machine easily, even the smallest line that is below what they ask for. At least I...

    If those are diopters, -10 is quite a high negative correction. You should be able to see the tip of your nose and not much else. :)

    I'm going to the jungles. Apparently it is dark in there and subjects are often small or at a distance. I had an a7R for a few weeks. The ergonomics were awful and battery life poor. The II is better, but still not a body I'd want to use in the field conditions I often encounter. The 1D...

    Why would they go bankrupt after 3 months of your absence; couldn't they find some contractor help or something? If you are always available then some people will assume you will be in future. There should be boundaries. I thought everyone wants work life balance nowadays.

    It depends if the company makes product, distributes product, provides a service, etc. Large manufacturers may shut down for a week or so for routine plant maintenance where most workers must take some of their vacation and that is managed with supply chain policy. Many services and some...

    What's the best wireless router these days?

    I had two. One of them would require a reboot every few months. It had no switching power supply, only an AC adapter. The other one had the switching supply and would spontaneously lose it's mind once in a while. I replaced them both. The appearance was too technical for home use anyway.

    Can't they just x-ray all of the winners' bikes and maybe bikes of the 2nd and 3rd place finishers? IR scanners by the roadside might not capture everything if the motors are not active and in the heart of the petons or whatever. I wonder how difficult it would be to fry the electronics with...

    Yes, and the larger drives will be useful longer. Now I am paranoid about the Amazons so options are more limited.

    10TB helium drive

    I suppose they all go to the high volume purchasers first. I'm really enjoying the 10 helium drives so far. Though none are formally HGST, the WD are very similar. He drives are very quiet and run cool. :) They can work just fine with minimal ventilation compared to the normal 7200 RPM drives.
