    Accumulated ten 250GB to 360GB 2.5" SSDs over the years, Tell Me What to do w/ Em!

    Somehow I've amassed a bunch of small SSDs that I had upgraded over the years. I now have ten 250GB to 360GB 2.5" SSDs of various brands in my drawer, what should I do with these things? No Stanley Hudson answers.

    Plex Server: Beelink EQ14 N150 / 16GB DDR4 / 512GB m2 for $169

    They still sell the EQ12, and I think the better way to look at their lineup is like Glocks. The Glock 17 predates the Glock 42 by a significant margin, but the 42 isn't more powerful than the 17, just different. The EQ12 is sold for $210 presently in this spec: "Beelink Mini PC, EQ12 Intel...

    AI Isn’t Making Much Money

    AI enhanced automation is rapidly transforming the workforce. Its not that AI can replace everyone, but tasks once requiring multiple people now need just one, like Jeff, who no longer needs Antoine, Earl, or Ahmer to help him by using AI tools. Even bloggers who defended automation saw layoffs...

    Plex Server: Beelink EQ14 N150 / 16GB DDR4 / 512GB m2 for $169

    Just ordered a Beelink EQ14 N150 / 16GB / 512GB for $169 https://slickdeals.net/f/17947800-beelink-mini-pc-eq14-mini-computer-alder-lake-n150-16g-ddr4-500g-ssd-4k-60hz-dual-hdmi-169?v=1 (says deal is dead, but its showing in stock again for me) I'm not an expert on these systems, but this...

    [DEAD - But would like to leave this for lots of good refernces] Linksys-LN1301-Triband-AX4200-WiFi-6-Router - $25/$20/$15 amazon/walmart/woot

    Didn't see that, but have it setup the same as before as three access points on the extreme corners of the property on wired backhaul, mostly just to ensure good connection for wireless security cameras. :)

    [DEAD - But would like to leave this for lots of good refernces] Linksys-LN1301-Triband-AX4200-WiFi-6-Router - $25/$20/$15 amazon/walmart/woot

    Just in case I'm being incredibly dumb, thought I'd run this by y'all: So I have the free Wifi6 XFinity gateway, and using a few moca adapters in the house and garage, setup three older deco mesh access points via ethernet backhaul. Everything on the same SSID as the main XFinity router...

    Silk Road Drug Kingpin Sentenced to Life in Prison

    I don't like to get into politics much these days, but its hilarious how you can instantly tell a writer's bias by facts they do or don't include. For years and years we were told that Biden was not too old, and age was never ever mentioned in the media. Biden steps down (for "unknown...

    Bought wrong non-returnable AGM car battery, use it in UPS with a failed battery?

    Screwed up and bought a ACDelco Gold AUX14-200 small auxiliary car battery for the Mercedes, instead of having a brain and checking if it was the right one and just relying on websites, which turns out is wrong size and non-returnable from Amazon.com I'm trying to find a use for this now, and...

    AM4 Reaganomics: Retire 1700x, Swap in old 3700X, Purchase a new 5700X3D

    I have a feeling that anything used would be cloud based AI, at least in the near future. Power wise I should be good, I believe I have a 1800watt PSU in that machine due to it once upon a time running a power hungry (close to 600 watt I think) 295x2... think I had a third 290x in crossfire at...

    AM4 Reaganomics: Retire 1700x, Swap in old 3700X, Purchase a new 5700X3D

    Seems like decent gaming performance, and is a cheap and painless way to update an older system. Convenience is king! Whichever is for sale for $260 or so, the 5700X3D or another sale on the 5800X3D (missed the last one), I figure I'll hop on it. Should pair well with the 6700XT I think.

    AM4 Reaganomics: Retire 1700x, Swap in old 3700X, Purchase a new 5700X3D

    Seems like AM4 will never die! I setup two AMD systems for a family member. I can't recall what motherboards I used, but I know one has a 1700x, the other a 3700x. I was thinking of picking up a 5700X3D that should be releasing very soon for the gaming system to replace the 3700x, and...

    WiFi 7 isn't supported on Windows 10

    Not yet, because Wifi7 isn't even finalized until 2024, but I often update the wifi/bluetooth cards on older systems that are otherwise perfectly good. Just recently slapped a new wifi 6e card on my kitchen computer for example to match the router. The reason for not upgrading to W11 is that...
