[QUOTE=fishyfish777;52499484]lol
to be honest I do notice this problem at work where I have to reimage computers all day but if I leave it alone for a few hours it settles down and goes away[/QUOTE]
I have left it on every day for the past week while I'm at work. I work 9 hour days, 9 Hours X 5 Days and it's still using 20Mbps.
Luckily I have windows 10 Pro, Can you send me the link to where you got that forum message? Or any info on how to switch to BITS (I assume the old update system).
So I want to see AmigaOS in the visiting area of the Refugee Camp and asked how he was doing.

Yep. He's still good ol' Amiga.
I mean, that's pretty cool.

[QUOTE=brushtool;52499956]Looking for a new laptop in the €500 - €1,000 range, any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
I have an Inspiron 1500 gaming, I use the i7 version for development reasons. But the i5 with the 1050ti and 240gb ssd is a decent option for around €800. Also one of the more rugged laptops for the price and it isn't full of gaudy gamur shit. Basically a low level alienware with better build quality and no alienware branding and therefor cheaper.
Also insane battery life, like 7-12 hours idleing

I don't know about you guys, but I have a backup of the stock BIOS pulled straight from the EEPROM, bricking ain't a problem.
I remember a Packard Bell of all things years ago that if you fucked the BIOS over on you jumpered two pins and when you turned the machine on again it would sit there totally dead aside from the floppy disk activity light being lit. You fed it a regular formatted floppy disk with an .img file and regardless of what it was it tried to burn that to the Flash memory. It was clearly an independent ROM thing but it was still really nice that you even had that as an option.

Not anymore, my Z270 board doesn't have MyLogo support. Really annoying since I had a unified splash screen design since my first PC, even Gigabyte had a tool for it.
Why do hard drives just die so unexpectedly? My external drive has been fine for the last few days and all of the sudden it's a Geiger counter and CrystalDiskInfo is telling me to pull out of there. :suicide:

Technically you could swap BIOS boot image on any common BIOS type that had it with some hex editing.
It's just ASUS was most famous in providing a utility that was "for dummies" friendly

My P5KPLCM still has elfen lied boot logo from like 2010? idk
If I was to start setting up my desktop build but I am missing the actual case itself to arrive, what's the best way to start? Or should I just wait until the case arrives (which may be later this week or as long as next week). I was gonna start putting stuff onto the motherboard, plug it in and start using it but I think I can't actually do that without the case as it would have the power button and I don't have a test bench.

Probably best to wait until the case comes, you can jump start a PC with a jumper instead of using a power button. If you don't actually have anywhere to put the components then I would suggest waiting.

ASUS started offering that utility for their boards back in the early Pentium 4 era.
Do modern bioses allow for full resolution boot images? I'm not gonna bother if all I'm gonna get is a blurry 800x600 mess on my 1200p monitor.
You can bench test your build on like a wood table, or some cardboard

Also I just called a support line and then realized they close in 10 minutes. I can't be that dick as it's going to be a long issue, hung up.
Oh god. Computer just shut off on its own. Nothing else in the apartment flickered or shut down.
Wonder if my 10+ year old UPS is finally kicking it.
Weirdly enough I was just doing some Node.js development, it was fine when I booted up XCOM earlier.
But I love those ebay retailers.
The ones where you look through their active listings and you can CLEARLY see they received an item complete but instead of just selling it as-is they break it up into individual listings, each likely twice as much as the part should cost.
I have seen many a Tadpole book where the laptop looks in great shape ($200), but the AC adapter ($50), hard drive caddy ($40) and optical drive ($75) are sold separately. I once saw a nice HP 3000 ($4000) where the seller was also by chance also listing an HP rack ($2000), 9-track transport ($1000), two removable 5mb drives ($3000 each), a paper tape reader ($1500) and 1U rack filler covers ($50 each). He probably could of kept it together and gotten $5000 but noooo, he wanted to be greedy and the parts sat there for months because nobody was gonna pay that for "as-is" hardware.
Ordered the GH5, 12-35 F2.8 (2017 Edition), XLR addon, Metabones Speedbooster Ultra, Lexar Pro 64gb 2000x, and a 4TB portable external for dumping footage on the go. Should all be here by friday. I fucking hate using newegg for this shit though. Can't wait to get my credit limit increased on my amazon card. Newegg's marketplace is fucking awful.
So excited to play with a camera that doesn't line skip for video. My 60D takes good photos but the video is ugly as sin after all this time.
Picked up some junk from a closing newspaper office, among other things a neat little cradle for a Motorola MicroTAC and an extra battery, with a battery but sadly no phone.

It's such a nice little thing, and so useful too. The batteries have large pads on the back that make contact with those pogo pins, slotting them in feels great and it displays them nicely. I'd love something like it for my current phone, could even make it switch to a second-screen or alarm-clock mode when it's docked. All the current cradles are crappy little one-size-fits-all models with a microUSB port that'll just end up scratching the phone.
There's always a lot of talk about how every phone nowadays is a black slate but they're all so slightly different in an attempt to carve out a portion of the market or be unique, that it's just not worth it to make proper, tailor-made accessories for anything but the flagships. Hell, my Moto G4 doesn't even get any first-party cases. I guess the Moto Z is sort of trying to get back to those roots though, the [URL="https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-mods/incipio-vehicle-dock"]incipio dock[/URL] is the closest thing to that I can think of.

I hate it when a microcontroller dev board doesn't connect all of the pins from the chip, and you're forced to make some very difficult solderings to access them

Good to know, I have space for the setup itself so I'll see how it goes with the motherboard box test bench and pics will be posted.
[editline]24th July 2017[/editline]
Any good guides on building a desktop? I've went onto Google to find some and they all seem to be about the same. Note that the case hasn't arrived yet so I'll do the janky motherboard test bench and jumping to boot methods. Moving from that to the actual case should be easy enough, may require removing the GPU first.

Found a bunch of file corruption errors on my server in my streaming archive. Parity spaces need to wait until the entire scrub is done to repair corruption. I got a feeling that due to me powering up and powering down my server a bunch as well as messing with the backplane. it never had a clean chance to run the full repair. A scrub takes like 2-3 days for all my data.
Still got backups which all seems to work, but since ReFS on the server is a "YES it's good" or "NO its bad" I can't even run a checksum on the "broken" files since ReFS blocks use of it. So moving forward I need to start using ReFS on my backups with file integrity so it can tell me if my backup is good or not. Only downside would be... if the backup is bad, it doesn't even let me copy it off the drive, so now I'm wondering what I should do.
Event viewer is limited to 1Mb per event group, so with all the scan issues it filled up and I only saw 3-4 files. I extended the log to 100Mb, and am running another scrub to have it list all the problem files on the entire pool. Maybe if it runs nonstop it'll fix the files. Otherwise I now have a list of files that are bad that I can pull from backups and overwrite.
My data isn't gone. And I know it's pretty limited since I've been uploading from my server to Google Drive for a few days and Only maybe like 10 old stream videos from like 2014 had issues.
<Learning Opportunity>
Edit: Legitimately though I might pick up two more EasyStores simply to setup as ReFS with file integrity and then begin copying my other backups to them. I need to expand my backups right now. I wonder if i can find a command which can let me Force copy off data from an ReFS volume. Since it's great ReFS tells me a file is corrupt but that corruption might be say... 3 frames of an hour long video, I can still use the rest. So I need some other way to copy that data.
Yep, so even after a file is written, I can then go into powershell and use Set-FileIntregrity P:\Streaming\Video.mp4 $False and turn off integrity to copy off the file, so it won't do the check. That's good. Of course it doesn't cure corruption, but if it's only partially bad, it's still good to have a way to pull it out.
I've never done a scrub of my SnapRAID pool (it has silent error correction but it needs to scan), I should really set up a cron job for it
Guy called up at work today to get info on building access to install fibre. Going to be nice to finally be rid of 16/16 DSL for an office of ~15 that all have multiple RDP / screenconnect sessions open to every state in the country (including NZ).
