From what I can tell this isn’t going to function, mainly just due to the additional proprietary connectors on that Dell card. I imagine there’s some sort of firmware integration as well though since it’s got a data line coming off it too. Quick side question, is there any reason you’re not just picking up some N95 boxes off Amazon? They’re so cheap you’d pay for them in power savings vs this box alone and you could essentially treat it as a Raid 1 of the entire system with a handful of backup scripts.

I get around 980 down 450-550 up on a Wifi 6e 160mhz 6ghz link, if I drop to my 5ghz network with 160mhz I run around 770 down and 375 up.

Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.

Unless you’re just opening up all the ports on your router, it should be blocking all incoming connections by default. I’d recommend doing 1:1 port mapping for the specific internal ips of your services if your router provides that capability, but at minimum just locking it down to only opening the ports required for your services should suffice.

Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it’s ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you’re trying to do.

I’m also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I’ve had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it’s like they’re allergic to the idea of understanding it.

Same. Lol

The antitrust machine hasn’t had its scheduled maintenance for a few generations. It’s gonna take a little while to spin up.

Indubitably.

Yeah! The practice is called drive shucking (kinda like Oysters) and you just need to be considerate of the limitations. The drives often end up cheaper, but lose warranty support once they’re shucked. They’ll also occasionally be slower than a normal drive or have an odd connector, but that is rare since it’s usually cheaper to go with something ‘off the shelf’. If you Google it though you should usually be able to find the handful of drive SKUs they’ll use in whatever external you’re planning to shuck.

It’s the same reason many unenforced laws exist. It’s an entrance point. As the saying goes, they didn’t get capone on his gang activity.

They don’t brick shit, don’t lie. It not booting until you swap the part back to a verified part isn’t even remotely close to a full bricking.

Why do we live in this hell? Fuckin end users man, let me roll Arch.

Morals and principles are all good and dandy until you’re staring down daddy Google (who can take millions in losses without blinking an eye) offering you a choice between a large check or competition with a business entity that doesn’t need to be profitable . There’s not a lot of people in the world who could stand up to that, even fewer so that would want to when the alternative is a worry free life sitting on whatever millions Google paid you while sipping Mai Tais on your private island.

Printed circuit board.

Although we don’t see it, all of these developments do actually eventually make their way into battery tech. The batteries of today are not the batteries of 2014.

Encoding engine basically requires it, so you’d need to implement a hack or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/189cgsm/intel_arc_h265_encoding_performance_and_resizable/

China is a massive economy and country with some of the most advanced manufacturering and tooling in the entire world. Yes, it could be shoddy, but it’s in a ship and is going to be far more regoriously scrutinized by their regulatory bodies than a normal stationary battery would be. I understand the plausiblity of your comment, but it seems to be rooted in prejudice or extreme ignorance.

These batteries are likely far more complex in packaging, design, and thermal management that any consumer electronic cell. They’ll likely “fail safely” if/when they do fail.
