Actually had two drives fail on me this morning, might be first of the year. Original OCZ Vertex 120GB - Fine to undetectable after a reboot. Brand new 6TB WD Green - DOA, packaging was terrible, click of death on first power-up.

Just used it last night on the latest Hiren BootCD.

Very cool. No wonder you needed the minivan, 4' tall and 115lbs? Does your receiver have XLR outputs?

This. Also interested in the speakers.

My first check would be that you haven't used all your DHCP pool. Next would be to assign an available IP from the pool to the device and see if it can ping the router. After that would be to take the wireless device and hard wire it (different MAC, different IP) and see if it still misbehaves...

Had a snake fly into my windshield a couple months ago. Of course it was being carried by a hawk that couldn't climb fast enough. They survived (didn't even hit the ground before the hawk recovered and flew off), but it was a very strange sight/sound.

I'll go with the spot heating, too. I'm sure that case has tons of fans but I'd consider zip-tieing another to the back grille of the PSU pulling heat out. The Corsair units I've been favoring lately ship with a warning sticker explaining that the fans don't even kick on until the unit is...

Does your UPS log incoming voltage? I'm with Coug on this one. If the UPS isn't an on-line model brownouts can sneak through. If you can, tighten up the UPS intervention level.

Nope. Just looking at goofy lenses.

That is the 10kWh. The 7kWh supports more and faster cycles.

I'd be more interested in the 65/0.75 when it comes to wacky huge lenses.

I've seen that a few times, but a SMART scan normally shows what it was complaining about.

For new drives I do the following: Nothing. Don't have data without backups. If you do have backups, don't bother with such effort to further reduce such a small risk. Just my $0.02.

I suspect the 300Mb is between wireless devices? I have a pair of UAP-PRO at my house, and a half-dozen at work. They are almost perfect considering how much cheaper they are than the alternatives. Only complaint would be the management software, though they've probably improved it since I last...

At work one of my guys has set up some Edgerouter Lite units without issue, but I have no firsthand experience. I'm still running the beast RouterBoard at home (RBAH1100x2, modded with a 120mm top-mount fan). Got it to try for work, and didn't find the interface friendly enough to deploy...

Coulda been. By the time I got there it had been hung for a while.

Today I've had a bunch of computers hang on a Windows Update. After leaving them for a long period of time (>45 minutes) I got bored and tried an Alt-Ctrl-Del and got the login screen. This normally doesn't work, but it seems the recent updates have a glitch.

The ones I linked to have the antenna and radio in the same unit. Just put a PoE injector at the bottom and you're done. I don't always have line of sight, but it (of course) helps. The web interface has some handy tools for aligning the antennas. Also keep in mind that all the units of a...

http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/hf004122 Just heard about this, though it seems to have been out for a while. I figure I have 50-ish of these out, including both of my personal units. Want a new battery? You're in luck!

I've bought about a dozen of the exact item that I linked to, all for use in point-to-point connections. Everything I've bought from them uses the exact same interface and supports all the various connection methods.

I'm with Time on this one. The 850 Pro is a great unit and a commodity part so easy to find. Just get a 1TB unit and you'll effectively get huge over-provisioning.

The radio is cheap, but the antenna can be expensive. I'm also too lazy to assemble them myself. PowerBridge M5 works great. http://amzn.com/B004EZBYUM

I like #3, though I would probably try to up the contrast a bit in post. I'm back to shooting my usual subject:

Here we have the same along with a few others. Perhaps a site survey before buying the gear would guide you toward the right frequency to choose.

I do have one of them driving a dual-Xeon, Dual-GPU rig. I chose the 1500w over the (more common for me) 1200w because I thought the total demand might hit 1kW. I did hang that machine on its own 20A circuit. Sorry, I don't keep anything. I'd imagine the manual is on their website if you'd like...

For that short a distance LOS might not even be necessary. Get a pair of the cheap-ish Ubiquiti panels and point them generally towards each other. You might even get away with having them in the building envelope. I have dozens of such installations that haven't needed to be touched in years...

Seems legit. It succeeded at 1kW+ despite being under-served. I'd totally call that a pass.

Just checked, I'm getting the same errors. The GPUs are idle at the moment.

Running a bank of them could make the sustained rate more reasonable for other applications, but if you are time-shifting, that seems reasonable enough.

Thinking about it, I probably have $4k of UPSes in my house already that are collectively less capable than this thing.

There are three main techs that I know of: Bi-color Polarized Active Shutter The active shutter are the coolest, technologically speaking. They have LCD screens in each eye and alternate which one is blanked out in sync with a master IR signal built into the theater.

2D Glasses.

It is one of the options made available to me. I can have it follow a predefined 24-hour cycle or adjust in real-time based on their availability. Their website will even tell me how much each of the plans would have cost me last year to help me choose.

Since they are all internet connected, they could do more interactive time-shifting than just daily. I can see a model where the power company effectively leases local storage from you that they can manage in real-time. This could be really valuable to them.

My workflow is probably very different from others, and I'll need to explain a bit before the rest makes sense. I have a closer relationship to my "clients". 80% of my time holding a camera is explicitly for my wife, with the rest being shoots for friends and family. Frequently I've been brought...

I had a great teacher on student loans. My best friends dad was the most respected doctor in town, he paid off his loans the year he died of cancer just so they didn't go after the estate and his widow.

Folding on "Home1" and "Home2" actually redlined the UPS that they live on. Even while gaming on one screen and playing video on the other on both machines the UPS never goes over 50%. Seems I found a use for those 1200W PSUs that isn't hard drives...

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rough at all. I meant it to just say that I don't keep track. All my pictures pass though Adobe Bridge/RAW/Photoshop with some level of lens distortion correction and sharpening. Most end up with a brightness/contrast adjust, and if I didn't calibrate the white level...

Mine either does monthly charts for a year that don't have numbers unless you hover over a bar (one bar at a time) or exports hourly data for a week to CSV. It also has usage and pricing in two different CSV exports. Pretty obvious they don't want you to actually use the data.

It seems my electricity is more than either of you. I can't find a handy export like that, but I use about 1mwh/month and it costs me about $300/month. Cost averaged to $0.40kwh this month. This is with everything but the water heater and clothes dryer running on electric. They need to make a...

How did you get $20k? Including storage? I was putting it closer to $40k ($30k solar, $10k batteries)

Started folding on "Home1", then the air conditioner kicked in. I'm not paying twice for the electricity. I'll start it at night.

No idea. Probably? I'm with Lunar on this one, the goal is to have a bunch of pixels arranged in a way you like. How you got there is less relevant, unless you are trying to learn or replicate a result.

Still holding out just a little bit for the Solar/Battery/EV package (I feel it will become an even better value proposition soon), but I did recently double my holdings in TSLA and SCTY ;)

At work we are inundated with massive contracts on a daily basis. 99% of these are absolutely identical and need no attention paid, but every once in a while there is a stinger in there somewhere that we don't catch. What I'm looking for is something that can take in all these docs (1,000+, ~300...

Does safe mode kill the touchscreen? Can you kill the touch drivers from there? If not, open it up and just unplug the touch bit.

Looking at the lives of my friends with such degrees (music, art, lit, history, education), it seems just a little more useful to their career than if they had spent all that time and money learning scotch or golf. A long, very expensive vacation that they somehow managed to finance with the...

I've gotten a few of those here, actually. Someone revives a thread years old and their first post is "did you get this working?". Usually, "nope" is the answer in such cases.

Looks cool if a bit tricky to get started. How often to you use this over ninite?

Welcome sticktrip! Considering your first posts, I'm presuming you've been lurking for a while?
