It's not surprising, the temperatur

Does anyone use it for RYZEn 7000 CPUs? I'm not understanding how it is not binary or what is really means to the RyZen. Due to the crappy AMD memory controller systems the performance sinks when more than 2 modules are installed. We were thinking about upgrading to 96GB 6000 on the EXPO...

My APC 12V 140Wh Lithium UPS is dying. Both it and the 120V leaden ones for long run time are long discontinued. The last power outage was about 3+ hours, and my system failed. The older gear was good for 8-12 hours originally (3 separate UPS in 2 locations). Most all of the modern leaden UPS...

https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-1-8-amd-reveals-next-gen-desktop-processors-for-extrem.html What is the neuronic function for the AI doing? I can't help but wonder what the dangers are.

Every time I push my tool into the hole in the laptop's bottom, failure occurs. The clock goes to 2018, it wants Win 11, and the camera and mics are reenacted. There does not seem to be any CMOS battery or like that to control the BIOS. If there is no insertion then the battery will drain...

Here is my current configuration. The 10G SFP+ in the three NAS and two tower computers are all from 2-port direct attach PCIe cards (mostly X520-DA2 or clones). I'm trying to the improve the NAS connectivity without slowing down the performance by having two NAS on one switch with one 10G...

Is there anything good nowadays? I plan to not be around during the traditional BF Friday-Monday period.

A component came off of the PCB on a very old hard drive and it is kaput. I'm not sure if the drive has data. How do I most easily destroy it? (I'm not the like the late Cougtek with weapons of destruction.) Thanks.

How can I make simple static pages like I used to with the Frontpages? They are not for internet, but personal use. Thanks.

I learned that many of the shows that used to be on the TVs are now forcibly on the Streaming or you have to wait for many months until it is basically a rerun. Yet there are many "channles" of the streamers and several different devices. Which device do you suggest under the following...

There is a computer I built about 6 years ago with a SKylake 6700K. The board is a Z270M which supported the 6th and 7th generation but the user wanted Win 7 at the time. Now there is an option to get a Dell 4K 27" display as a corporate prize. My guess is it is worth about $300-400 based on...

are there possible for one? Are the number of Androids defined by the Google or by the "app" maker? Thanks.

I lost my website last year. :cry: Where can I legally put images for the web without any of the PII? Mostly there would be PNG, a few JPEG, maybe PDF. Nothing is remotely controversial - no images of humans or humanoid depiction due to AI, etc. Thanks.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/05/critics-say-googles-new-zip-and-mov-domains-will-be-a-boon-to-scammers/ Is this really a problem?

Did anyone else get a letter from the WD that their data was stolen? WD has apress release dated April 2: https://www.westerndigital.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2023/2023-04-02-western-digital-provides-information-on-network-security-incident But why did they wait over a month to notify...

Seagate has 22TB now, a bit behind the WD 22TB. I suppose the Seagate seeks sound like a bucket of rocks if my 18TB are anything to go by.

https://www.storagereview.com/review/intel-nuc-13-pro-mini-pc-review I mean, WTF are the Intel doing with a stupod design having one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 and one M.2 PCUe 3.0 2242?

If you were mostly clueless about programming, which kind is best? I need modern hardware support, some kind of Office functions, a bowser (FF?), and an email that will interact with the IMAP. Thanks.

I see plenty of the IOTs, but most are connected to the big data companies (Google, MS, Amazons, etc.) or subsidiaries. Are there non-Play apps that work directly from the phone to the device and not on the internets or other aspects of the data mining? I would be using an old phone with this...

A few years ago I was rather disgusted that most of the cases had glass side panels, preventing use of fans on the side. Now I'm seeing that it's more grim now. Most cases either have no front panel (glass) or just mesh and no place to put 3.5" drive bays or optoicale drives. What can I still...

Can I RAID a RAID or is that too much, for example 2TB, 2Tb, and 4TB?

The Samsung 990 Pro is coming. Unfortunately the 4TB will not be out until 2023. :mad:

I have a plethora of the old-school 8TB WD RED and the unofficial EMAZ versions with the same firmware. Many are from 2017 and a few from 2018, mostly with 300-1200 hours on the SMART clock and have been in room temperature storage since the viral disease. If I wipe data is there any reason...

I had been using an old Intel 5th Generation NUC with dual-cored CPU for many years so I got a newer unit from November 2021. Unfortunately the drivers for Intel HD Audio are now messed up, i.e., the warning sign appears in the Device Manger. Win 10 update does nothing for it and the Realtek...

During boot or when the computer is in BIOS the monitor is blank. The laptop internal display is fine. Is there simply a drivers limitation that Windows must load to run the external video? It's also really bad for using the Macrium since I cannot see progress or anything else unless the...

...but not very expensive. Does that exist in the 2021 era? My current phones were around $300 each, but one of them does not accept a newer OS, so the work-related apps just don't. :( Most of the reviews of the cheaper phones indicate that they are not so reliable or suffer some critical...

I built a system about 4 years ago with a 6700K on a Z270 micro board with 16GB of RAM and a 250GB Samsung 960. The user was adamant about keeping the Windows 7, which I painfully migrated from an older computer. Now Windows 7 is obsolete and I'm thinking about the upgrade plan. There are...

The MAC M1 ARM is supposed to be the hot stuff lately, but what do you think? Supposedly Apple is ditching iNTEL like they did the IBM 15 years ago and for good reasons. Their little NUC would not do it for me now, but maybe in a couple of years there will be more powerful versions that would...

What's the deal with video cards in 2021? Last year there was some crap about the Virus or the cryptolith miners, and now six months later there are very few for sale and prices are exhorbitant. I am using an archaic card in the 3950X that was from the old Win 7 system, and then the later...

The internet will not connect to most sites when the clock sets to 1969. SF doesn't even exist. What software do you use to set the clock automatically at boot? The one I have is obviously not right.

https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/email-support/KM1240462 It appears that I will no longer be able to access my emails with Outlook 2013, 2016 or the Thunderbirds, etc. All I can find easily on the OAuth is about servers and technical stuff. :( Will all email services start using...

WD has some new drives. How are they cramming more data per platter diks in there? It's not clear if they use the WHAMR or something.

How can I get audio from a monitor to headphones without disassembly amd DIY? Are there any cheap LED monitors that have a mini?

Kioxia sounds like a lack of oxygen in some metabolic process, but it is actually Toshiba memory. What twits invented that name I have no idea. :(

I need a simple and small computer to replace one that is offsite and has died this week. :cry: I'm leaning towards Intel NUC or maybe the smallest version of Lenovo ThinkCenter, Dell Orptiplex, etc.. The use case is rather limited currently, but I want something that should be useable for 3-5...

I was thinking about CPUs 16 months ago, but the maleficent Meltdown and Spectator dimmed my hopes of gaining enough improvements to be worth the hassle. Now that Windows 7 is coming to an end soon, I'm looking at new systems again. Have there been improvements against the anti-malware impact...

Are there any Androidic battery apps that will limit the phone charge to a lower level, such as 80%? Most of the battery saver type of apps are designed to fix bad batteries or throttle performance to improve battery life.

What is the best course of action when one drive is kicked out and the array is still working? One option is to replace the funky drive and let the RAID5 rebuild itself. Another option is to nuke the array, replace the drive, create a new array and then copy/verify the data to it. A third...

After Amazon screwed me the fourth time in less than two months on shipments being "undeliverable" I'm trying to figure where to buy some of the smaller electronic/computer items. Does anybody use the real UPS or real FedEx (not Home) anymore? I don't want free shipping, but reliable shipping...

The Samsung QVO SSD (quadratic level cell) is here? https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-brings-multi-terabyte-storage-capacities-at-accessible-price-with-860-qvo-ssd

Bastards. :mad: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/11/amazon-customers-names-and-email-addresses-disclosed-by-website-error/

There are finally some new Intel NUCs. Unfortunately they have screwed us out of the Displayport. :mad:

I have a Fluke 8060A/8062 or some DMM about 25 years old. Is it worth calibrating or even possible? What today has comparable accuracy and quality? Most of the stuff on the Amazon looks cheap and unreliable. Thanks.

Does anyone have this? They claim the Fibros are bridged to the Cu home wires so the telephones are normal but I have to buy a battery supply. Can a regular UPS be used? The internet would be wireless which would be a PITA, but how does the TV work?

WD 14TB CMR WTF is CMR and how does it differ from PMR? Obviously it does not suffer from the dreaded shingles.

What solution and microfibers do you use for cleaning the display? Now that I have a decent monitor I want to keep in peak condition.

Seagate 14TB EXNOS I hope this does not have the shingles.
