Well, crap. :( Evidently there actually is a CMOS, but it's inaccessible without significant disassembly. That is surprising, since the construction is really good quality and clever otherwise. Is there any risk to operating without the battery power?

So a lower price equates to a better plan - somehow? One of my staff had a defective SIM on travel in 2023. They must be making SIMs from cheap junk lately.

It is not any of my LG GRAM laptops, but one of my Fujitsu laptops. Why do you think there is a short? Removing the back makes no difference.

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...

Why not get a better plan? I thought that Sprint was out of business. I don't think they use a SIM anymore; at least the A54 doesn't need it in the states. I'm curious if there will be an A55. I might do a double swap moving the A53 to A54 role and then the A54 to A55 role.

If the only problem is your battery, then just wait until the new phones are out. I know the younger folk are so into the phones for media and everything social, but I just don't trust any device controlled by the Google or Apple, etc. and connected to the internet with my data. IME phones...

The NUC 14s were announced at the CES.

I think most would be SAS. Maybe there are some USB adapters. Merc will be able to find some cheap drives for you.

If only a few decades, then I'd make one copy on M-Discs and another on something else like tape. SSDs would be unreliable due to the memory cells, but also active and passive components on the PCBs. Storage at refrigerated temperatures is not a bad idea since reaction rates approximately...

The original guy had some mental issues. Several of the rumour sites obtained most of the illicit info from a few sources which have since dried out. Canon, like other makers, has some mediocre zooms to fill parts of the market. The problem with the RF 200-800 is that IQ should be better at...

Well, the OP is not going to live 1000 years and the data does not need to last that long anyway. What really lasts the longest is stone and then maybe sheets made from durable materials (not papers/wood pulps). Peoples or institutions must have the will to keep the data safe over the decades...

That's a bizzare backup. You know that the R camera copies from one slot to the other, and quite quickly with minimal battery drain? For example, the write speed to a measly UHS-II SD card is 64 MB/sec. and after 56GB the battery only dropped 5-6% (estimated 900MB per LP-E6N battery charge)...

I was asking the OP. :LOL: I assumed you were just doing a one-time job of data recovery. In the late 20th century I had the OnStream 15/30 GB tape drive. Transfers were a painful 1-2 MB/sec. It saved my behind when I deleted a folder by mistake. I wonder if anyone could recover them now.

I've lost any remaining respect for CR once they listed the 200-800 as the #1 best Canon lens of 2023 and the 100-300/2.8 as #3. They must be blind as a bat. Anyone could have reviewed the MTF of the 200-800 and seen the awful meridional results vs decent sagittal results. It's not just weak...

Rethink your priorities and simplify. :)

Is there any chance of moving the political ranting posts into that thread about it? https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/politics.10817/

I've been very satisfied with the A54. It and even the A53 were updated to Andorids v14 in Q4 2023. The A55 is expected in March. Why exactly do you need the SD slot; IT and legal purposes?

Who exactly wants to live 1000 years? Are you going to work 900 years and hope to still be alive after that to retire?

Assuming this is not for some type of Time Capsule, how will that archived data be managed over all those years and after you are deceased?

Many 1x PCIe cards are still 2.0.

This is what I proposed.

I have this now.

I'm pretty sure this is getting too complicated. I'm reading that my old X520-DA2 SFP+ cards are not liking modern switches and also needing two switches is not worth it. Maybe I can put a quad port X710-DA4 in the main computer and have 10G access to all 3 NAS directly. Then I would get one...

Of course. I was just joking. You are still relatively young and have a varuiery of skills and options. Isn't your wife an NP? Does she parcrtic

If I did not already have too many NAS...

I'd like to see about 30% higher Compute performance/Watt since I'm not willing to go over 300W with the UPS I can use on a 120V/15A circuit.

That crytpo mineware crud in the video cards was a nightmare a few years ago to the point where normal users could not find cards in stock. I think nVidia eliminated it in the later phases of the 30 series, but nothing was mentioned in the 40 series.

The S*ny 200-600 is sometimes aggravating, but it is damned sharp over most of the frame in the focal plane. There are some weird artifacts towards the edges in the slightly OOF areas, more at the long end. The bokahs are not bad for a zoom. It just buggers the mind that even Nikon has a...

Probably the number of users needing that function are less than 4.55%. Don't you have space in those massive servers for several video cards, maybe three brands at the same time?

How do you fit 160TB of drives in there?

Then there is little value in upgrading from another 40 series? I suppose it makes more sense for someone that has been waiting with older video cards. The "Super" prices are lower for more cores and you are complaining about the cost? 🤯

The new 200-800 RF turned out to be a POS. According to the Cheapskates on the internet Canon will go out of business for doing such a terrible thing. 🤣

Is there a new manufacturing process or something that will improve performnce per watt, or are the Super duper versions just build with more RAM and Cuda cores? Does this all mean that there are no 50 series GPUs coming in 2024?

I find it difficult to believe that you cannot get adequate results on 4K video using $800 video cards. In any case you must work all production costs into the business model.

Did you find the performance of the system to be substantially better than a NAS?

So I need two switches. :( Is having only one switch slowing down the overall speeds when moving data around from NAS to NAS? It seems like it would be the opposite. I'm not finding any cables from SFP+ to 2.5GbE. There are some SFP+ to 10GbE adapters, but many complaints of them running very...

Your Queen Margrethe II is abdicating in a couple of weeks.

2.5Gb has to be the normal connector, not the SFP style. I was looking at QNAP, but it seems all the switches with more than two 10G SFP+ have fans and are noisy. :( https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-QSW-M2106-4S-US-10-Port-Managed-Deployment/dp/B0BK2M7X7M

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...

The conversion time for each D500 file using DeepPrime XD on the RTX 4060 worked out to be 5 seconds. :) That's just a bit off of my calculations of 4 seconds and far better than the >1 minute needed for the internal radeon of the 5700G.

Were the people all elderly or was there a weird reason they are all deceased? My favorite local Chinese place lasted about 25 years until the late 2000s. The one I visit now but rarely managed to survive the pandemonicum.

I was thinking that the goal would be to have most everything be the Base-T for compatibility and be able to get 2.5GbE from the same network. Can I have the 2-port cards in the devices and have one port direct and one port through a switch instead? I should probably draw a diagram of the mess I...

I have no switches yet. I have two computers with 10GbE and three NAS with 10GbE. All five devices are using PCIe SFP+ cards. Basically I need to copy from any of 3 NAS to each other at 10GbE speeds. Wouldn't one cable from a computer to the switch to the NASes slow everything down when...

I have too many different products and computers to connect with different interfaces, e.g., 1GbE, 2.5GbE, 10GbE SFP+, etc. QNAPs have abandoned the SFP+ other than the X710 so most of my cards are useless. I could go with 10GBASE-T but would need to buy expensive new stuff. :(

But if one processes still images or color grades videos, then what are they doing to ensure the output will suffice? I'm not against the sRGB gambit either, but its should cover that space and not be out of control with 25% overage in an ugly way. My early 2000s 21' Eizo did not have the...

Despite some tragic reviews about the 8-pin U connectors failing due to crappy wiring and melting the GPU sockets, it works fine. 115W is not very much compared to most cards. The free clearance of the case lid is ~2mm and it makes some contact under load, but should be stable.

It appears those have been recalled, but it is a good idea. Amazon has several.

I was able to obtain a 1x PCIe card that combines NIC and 3 USB ports, which worked immediately. It turned out that only two USB 2.0 and one 3.0 from the E port were inhabiting the two slot spaces, so that is not an issue. However, the disaster is that I cannot close the case lid with the RTX...

I tried to calibrate the display itself, but that is not allowed - rather like a laptop. :( "Standard" has some naturally putrid color balance. "Custom" is just a manual control of the RGB%s but they are not really independent and poorly coordinated. I gave up on the X-rite software and used...

I thought most used those giant Seagate MFM drives in the olden PC days. :LOL: My fist experience with WD was with a Bowmar Brain, IIRC MX70 ~1973. They didn't make hard drives for many years later. Maybe I'm just just lucky, but have had minimal issues with the WD HDDs. I never put GREEN...
