How not to buy a LiIon by Flasherly[_2_]
Two "cell-phone" sized batteries. These were "buffered", as are some Chinese interests, from ready West Coast US of A stock and facilities. BL-5C is the nomenclature, common class, and the XHDATA I think may have been augmented with some brandname. I cut off the wrappers, anyway, taped both...

No demarcation FX-octal woe blues by Flasherly[_2_]
Bought mine, an octal Fx when the Ryzen fireworks went off, a bomb by industry standards, at least for octals. I swear to God, they're getting all teary-eyed about this, people who know better talking about buying them for the vintage retro-aspect, and such, unresistably drawn back into a sheer...

Interesting modem MAC ancillary by Flasherly[_2_]
Went back to no computer software affiliations or a standalone hardware telephone device. The device is for dedicated telephone service, to be used in conjunction with an ISP modem. The modem's one Ethernet out is routed into the device, and from the device looped back into the computer's...

Crash&Burn Asus/Rawk by Flasherly[_2_]
NEWEGG is doing a sum rebated end for $40. Get it? ... AM4 ... $40. I guess. The thing actually reads like a dive bomber out of a comic book -- Amazon reviews directly as apparently as well a Google search. Total Meltdown City. Kind of gets to me that Newegg would do that: Take a spoon, dip...

RAM temperature sensors needed soon. by [email protected]
Cryptocoins may start using algorithms which can be executed fast only on CPU-RAM chips. Problem with this is current hardware has no RAM temperature sensors ?!?!? Therefore I am requesting this feature to be added to new hardware as soon as possible. Bye, Skybuck.

cheapest ssd yet seen by Flasherly[_2_]
$33 for a 256G. Cheapest presence, rather a Kingston which specifically means 3-yr domestic US warrantee. Maybe an 800 Kingston no. with a human to answer. No DRAM buffering, old rebadged Toshiba memory, old Pison controller. Material is total bottom of the barrel. Yet... Huge sales volume for...

This is a bit of a long shot, but maybe somebody has seen something like this, I am thinking not but ya never know. Situation is really weird: My PC can play World of Warships fine, Company of Heroes via Game Ranger fine. It can browse/websurf the internet fine. It can even connect to another...

faarghk - I hate notebooks by [email protected]
A relative showed me a notebook: they had tried to remove the hard disk, but had lifted the end more than necessary and busted the SATA connector. It was not repairable. Then I vaguely recalled Toshiba made a premium model with 2 hard drives. I removed another cover and there was a void the size...

Diagnosis/conclusion of Skybuck's UBEE cable modem from 2009(tutorial how to get into it even if corrupted) by [email protected]
Hello, My diagnosis/conclusion concerning my UBEE cable modem is: Corruption of download signal over COAX is somehow locking the modem out, or it's done by ISP provider, mostly it is caused by signal corruption. (Could also be a miss configuration by ISP because of upgraded protocol, old modem...

Didn't do so spectacularly great with x4 Phenom II by Flasherly[_2_]
Not on wiser averages, to base my choice of purchase, although fresh into it being closer to there wasn't time for a more informed choice. Low-cost dollar, including the Chinese/Asian market is around a third less than I paid. FX-8100 - FD8100WMW8KGU Looks likely a most-common budget candidate....

WinSetupFromUSB & New BIOS by Flasherly[_2_]
Didn't notice anything with HIRENs & WinSetupFromUSB, but went to install a Win7 ISO and the USB manager kicked into a second proviso to access a BIOS id on USB-HDD -- something about the BIOS reporting it for a Floppy. Also never encoutered that on the other MBs, (always the first), just this new...

why different BIOS for Windows and Linux? by [email protected]
I got a mainboard out of an Acer X3995, I wished to recycle. First had to figure out the pins for the front panel switch and LEDs. Going to Acer website, they have 4 BIOS to download: 2 for Win8, 1 for Win7 and 1 for linux. Why so? I don't think other manufacturers specify a restrictive BIOS.

USB stick that's bootable has TWO names by RayLopez99
You know what I mean. The boot sector on the USB, which was formatted with "Rufus" freeware to make it bootable, is tiny, a few hundred kB, but has a name. Then the main USB, which is large, say 15 GB, has another name. Reformatting each USB will wipe them clean, but how do you 'combine' them...

SSD and sleep mode? by Mike[_33_]
I got this email today claiming that sleep mode is hard on a SSD. I could understand that hibernate is hard on a SSD, but sleep mode? My system sleeps maybe a dozen times a day. It's asleep 90% of the time. Save the planet and all... Is there any truth to this? Or is it just a scare tactic...
