    LG sale on batteries and cradles

    Switching to phones where you can't replace the battery because you've been having issues with the batteries seems extremely counterproductive.

    I find myself going back to vodka tonic over wine or scotch lately. Perhaps I'm just not drinking enough.

    Presenting "The Coffin"

    The prototype will be my home system, eventually they will go in all of the industrial environments I run. You may have noticed that the case is completely closed; no intake or exhaust ports at all. The radiator inside is a heat exchanger to get any ambient heat out of the case. The major...

    I'm currently under the impression that you can still choose which seller you want to buy from? If you don't choose they will choose for you, but if I say I only want to buy from the seller Amazon.com I'm pretty sure those items are sold by Amazon themselves?

    Nope, no room for U.2 in this install. M.2 only.

    Didn't want to make a whole thread looking for one motherboard. m.2 SSDs are generally too close to the board to have the sandwich-style waterblocks fit. Minimizing the number of connections to help reliability is a good thing.

    Has anyone had any luck finding a ROG MAXIMUS IX EXTREME motherboard? The monoblock that incorporates the M.2 would be great for an upcoming project. Too soon after CES?

    Server rack suggestions?

    Really happy with the APC racks, but they are some of the most expensive. I have a cheap 42U 4-poster in the living room at home, no brand or anything. I will be getting rid of it in the next few months, but shipping to you would cost more than a local rack.

    Probably the easiest way is to seize the roles? Also make sure you don't have an LMHOSTS file or old static DNS entry somewhere.

    Problems with adopting Ubiquity AC-Pro access point

    I've had a similar issue after a firmware upgrade. Resolving it included SSH and a reset of some kind, plus a reboot IIRC. It has been a while. It may have grabbed an IP from your DHCP? Have you tried a factory reset using the pinhole on the PoE adapter? Once you can SSH to it use this command...

    Phones are tested and approved for new versions one at a time. It is very likely that 7.0 is the newest version QA'd for your phone.

    Audio Equipment

    For the ones I was looking at, the differences seemed to be about frequency response range, weight, and impedance. The audio profile on the 400i is very flat (almost like shooting video in a flat colorspace), but I quickly grew accustomed to it.

    This worked great, but was absurd overkill for game comms. That equipment is now at a large venue serving as intended. I just went back to the Yeti.

    LCD Woes

    I just purchased a good 85" 4k TV for $2500. My 42" 4k monitor was $2k. Even a color-accurate 27" low-res monitor isn't worth more than $1k to me.

    2 HDDs drop out of Intel RAID every shutdown, but not on restart or sleep

    I think you are spot-on with the drives not spinning up thing. I don't know if the BIOS password stalls things at the right time to do anything. Does your motherboard have staggered spinup?

    I've had this problem at home and work, on FF and Chrome. About 50% of the time all the keys work except the space bar. Only for this site, only until reboot. Anyone else having this issue?

    I still haven't done the dental thing yet. I'm down to ~60% of teeth being functional in some way. When there is significant pain I have a root canal done and skip the crown. Eventually I'll have a full set of synthetics put in, but I'm still gaining weight so it can't be that big an issue yet.
