I hope it is a good one. Incidentally, I have to attend a meeting in the frozen tundra of Pennsylvania. I'm not sure what car I will get, but of all the rental Altimas I've driven, none had heat. :(

I get the feeling that there are snow and ice events where you live. The coldest I recall having to drive was about 18F in the US Midwest. I suppose in really cold climes it can be an issue, but I would probably be wearing gloves. I always wished for a cooled steering wheel. I've literally...

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.

That was two years ago, but now I am using the FireFox on all the Android phones. ;)

So did you take delivery?

I was trying to write crapper. That site doesn't work, but it's something Chinese? I guess the internet is not the issue, but the way it used and quality of content on it is very poor now. Commercial sites have tons of obnoxious video adverts or even normal content that cannot be disabled...

Internet has been down the crooner for about 10 years.

Not at all. It was a few hours of watching TV and 5 minutes on the webs.

https://rockfordtoday.com/dog-drama-at-westminster-schipperke-ruled-out-for-top-prize/ I suppose there are not a lot of dog people here, but this cluster even made the news. I was watching and suddenly the Schipperke was excused from the best of show judging. I thought it had taken a dump or...

Yes, Westminster. It was ridiculous.

The Schipperke was screwed. Green should have been recused instead.

:)

I made a small error in the title of a thread and cannot not figure out a method to fix the typo. Does the forum have that functionality?

The data is half archive, half full backup and a quarter incremental backups. 5 drives is the most I could allocate due to practical reasons and 10TB is an economical size. I was hoping to be able to ship the drives without a NAS and have a different Synology in the middle section. I'm not...

I have not tried the Spybot recently. Have they made it more difficult to use?

Is there any additional warranty on it? 48 months/48K is usually the end of the factory warranty.

So now I have another 9.1TB of space. After filling most of it the total capacity is 99.4% used. For some reason the stupid Synology OS continues to alert that it is running out of space and there is no way to disable it. :(

Apparently... :(

Thanks. I suppose the expansion process is just slow and that the rebuild will be decently fast, maybe closer to 24 hours. There are five drives so the four viable ones would be read from if I understand correctly and the Xenon CPU is not a bottleneck for the party. I could have moved to 4x12...

60 hours later there are now 5*10TB 5400 RPM drives. How do I calculate rebuild time?

Access seems to be a Windows 7 problem since the last QNAP update. Windows 10 can log in using the Edge. There are now constant error messages that the Ethernet disconnects a dozen times a day. :( However, there is no indication that the network is not performing. I suspect there is a...

The NAS is doing a normal RAID 5 expansion, which is very slow (over 50 hours and ~75% so far). I was wondering if a rebuild will take that long. Drives are >98% full.

I was wondering if the rebuild takes longer. It is taking about 3 days to expand the NAS, but maybe that is a different process.

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...

Anti-beacon is available for $10. I suspect the MS already sends the data by other trafficking that the Spybots cannot control.

I've taken some weird field tests (e.g., black room/blue room) years ago, but never had to bring my own equipment. :(

The Google boggles my mind. o_O

They are capturing conversation? How is that possible? :(

My laptop requirements are for minimal weight due to the international airline and charter prop plane air limits and also high storage capacity is needed for RAW files. That should not be baffling.

I figure some are dead and others moved on to other places.

But why? It's all very strange.

Is there some reason you must type in the field, e.g., foreign country, instead of using a more efficient and ergonomic workstation at home or office? I would bring along a quality, full-sized keyboard if I had to do a lot of typing in the field.

How many emails do you have altogether ;can you calculate a percentage?

I just log in normally, without using the XenForo. Is that used for better security?

CF53 is archaic. I think your price range is unrealistic and you can find something decent with a 17" 1080 IPS display for about $1000 at a good sale.

Maybe Panasonic still makes the Toughbooks for law enforcement/military needs, but I think their consumer/business laptops are long gone. The Toughbooks are priced for their market and not designed for watching videos or whatever you do.

MS doesn't seem to test Windows much if the recent screw-ups are any indication. I doubt that they care about performance with HDDs. :(

In 2017 I helped a friend buy a 17" HP laptop at the BestBuy. I think it was on sale for $1000 (probably being closed out). IIRC it has a 7th generation i5, 8GB RAM and a 1TB HDD. The display is a fairly decent 1920x1080. It has one USB-C and several more USB 3.0 ports. The boot time is...

Greg was always at one extreme or another. IIRC it was suggested that a mid-grade or high-grade modern desktop system (back then) was better than the archaic enterprise stuff of even earlier times. The Dudering built him a decent setup, but I would not expect anyone to keep using it forever...

There was another spammer today. Maybe the newer forum software is more popular in the spammer's search engines. I have about 300TB of the WD helios drives. Is there something wrong with that?

I suspect that it is HP putting so much crap on their systems that is slowing down everything with a marginally fast enough hard drive anyway. What SD said is good, but you really should not have to put up with the hassle on a new system. Maybe the price was great or something.

Wow that's awful. My Fujitsu Win 10 pro laptop last year did not require any special info or connection to the internet to set up. I was able to choose No or Cancel to any account creation or personal info. Is this a new MS thing or an HP thing?

Mentally or physically?

I would see what speeds you get from the current cable unless you enjoy working on the fibers.

It's not stopping the nutjobs. :(

Mainly I don't want a slower/hotter CPU in order to have more than 8 cores, which reach diminishing returns with a single program anyway. I don't operate a server or have any reason to need all those cores. I would like as much RAM as feasible. My 4+ YO PC has 64GB. Can I get 128GB with the...

T mobile doesn't update the OS very frequently. My Moto something from November is on 8.0 and it had a security update, but that's all.

So I set up yet another external array on the TX-831X and decided to update the system for the first time in about a year. After copying and fully verifying ~20TB I rebooted and now the login to the NAS sits there forever at the Loading page. :(

16 cores seems like a lot for only 2 RAM channels or does the 300 series have a work around for the RAM limitation?

There are always more casualties.
