[QUOTE=Van-man;51033423]The Acer's mobo has two slots usable in the top-range model, while mine is a middle tier but uses same pcb, except with some cost savings.[/QUOTE] You may have some SMT components missing that it needs to work but it's worth a shot.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;51033876']You may have some SMT components missing that it needs to work but it's worth a shot.[/QUOTE] There isn't any pads missing components (often just SMD resistors and maybe capacitors) as far as I can see without complete disassembly.
Why are IO shields so damned expensive? It's not even one of those pretty ones with the color-coded plugs, a stamped metal plate that could fit in a basic envelope is still $10 and another $10 in shipping from china.

[QUOTE=garychencool;51031431]I still find it a bit annoying that mac OS doesn't support NTFS out of the box[/QUOTE] Uhm, reading should work. Writing however never was enabled by default because they didn't want to be responsible for data loss (which as far as I recall also was noted on stuff like NTFS-3G) Not sure if you can even enable the OS X writing variant anymore though.
Life's not treating me well. My phone (OnePlus One) is suffering from random reboots, losing cell reception way too frequently, reporting my SIM-card as not being inserted, not receiving phone calls despite having reception, and getting a text from my provider instantly saying someone tried to reach me and the list goes on. Means I need to buy a new phone, because I can't be unreachable if I'm a 'small hosting company'. Probably going for the OnePlus 3 once it comes back in stock. Now, I also have the strange issue of my laptop reporting my WiFi card ([url=http://www.killernetworking.com/products/wireless-ac-1525]Qualcomm Atheros Killer 1525[/url]) as not connected (Code 45), sometimes it worked again, now it doesn't. Installing drivers doesn't change a thing, down- or upgrading BIOS doesn't change a thing, so I'm about to send it in for an RMA. Already opened the laptop to see if anything seemed loose, but without touching any screws, it looked like the connector is fine, so I think it's actually faulty hardware. The strangest thing of all is that I find random posts everywhere on the internet, having the same issue as me, but no one has a fix, no one reporting that they sent the laptop for RMA and it being fixed but countless "you could try" without followups. Anyone else got a clue before I send it in for RMA and get charged for opening the laptop?

Reading is fine, but obviously I want to be able to write on my NTFS hard drives. I found some third party solutions and the paid one is basically the absolute easiest. You just install, reboot, and you can use it without a problem. The paid one is like $20 tho (although if you buy it on Amazon, it's $20CAD but if you buy it on their website, it's converted from $20USD to CAD which brings it to $28 so if I was to actually get it, I'd get it via Amazon and get a boxed copy, especially if it's actually cheaper there). The free solutions require a bit more work to get working and might not be as reliable. I guess exFAT is the way to go for best compatibility between Macs and PCs for external hard drives. But is there any downside to using exFAT? It would be a pain in the ass to copy 2TB of stuff from one drive to another, just so I can format the hard drive from NTFS to exFAT (which what I should have done before putting data onto this hard drive, ugh).

I also like how Amazon USA box of Paragon NTFS costs $19.95 USD while on Amazon Canada, it costs $20 CAD, while on their online website, it's $28.20 CAD. So if one was to buy it from Canada, they can get the box version (and wait for shipping) and save like $8. Anyways I searched up ntfs-3g and was looking for solutions for Mac. Apparently the fastest to install one is from Tuxera and it costs $40CAD and it will automagically detect and mount the NTFS drives with read/write support. The other solutions require you to use the Terminal each time to mount and unmount

I just use and old PC for wall art above my desktop.

My htc m8 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and i think its time i started looking for a new phone. Its been at least 2 years since i got this thing, and the battery barely lasts half a day anymore. I factory reset it a few months ago, but its still getting slow and choppy. Getting a phone with a non removable battery was a mistake. Anyone got a reccomendation on a solid phone for around $300? I want to get one with a removable batt this time, althrough since that restricts my choices a lot, i might just settle for one thats easier to replace than the m8. Im no stranger to cracking phones apart to work on them. I was looking today and the lg g4 checks all my boxes, but i dont want to roll the dice on getting one thatll get stuck in the infamous g4 boot loop in a few months. I really dont like samsung phones, but most any year old flagship or current year midrange phone should do. I could not give a shit less about screen resolution.
I really wouldn't worry about the bootloop issue. It's extremely rare. The G4 is a great phone; go for it.

You are better off trying at least with the later chips that used a PCB substrate or had large caps over the die like the Pentium 4 or the AMD K6. I have no problem with you wrecking one of these ugly fuckers: [img]http://www.techpartswarehouse.com/media/images/IN-SL4SH_wm.jpg[/img] First generation P4's were so fucking awful. I remember when the first benchmarks started coming out and a 1.3ghz Tualatin was beating it. :v:

FAT file systems instead used alternating tables, as this allowed recovery of the file system if the media was ejected during a write (which occurs frequently in practice with removable media). The optional TexFAT component adds support for additional backup tables and maps, but may not be supported. [/QUOTE] So as long as that table doesn't get fucked up, then you should be fine. Should be unlikely too I'd assume.
