![]() Good score. Update to date Lineageos 16.0 builds at
https://download.lineageos.org/klte I like the S5 removeable battery.

The big problem with disks is it is too easy to forget that you are playing with an "archive copy". You run the risk of adding and deleting stuff that you really should be doing on the "originals", instead. With tape, it was a "challenge" to actually change the tape's content without rewriting the whole tape (or just appending the new content). The other problem with disks is you can do a sh*tload more damage in an ohnosecond! <frown> |

![]() Recently picked up from an indoor car boot sale a BBC master 128k computer system, with monitor, disk drives and some software. Will be re-capped to ensure longevity but is otherwise in full working order, paid £5.00 for the lot.

OLED is a different tech, with lighting part of the package and its giveaway of OLED, is image retention, possibly burn-in! My Galaxy S5 has that issue. But it's minor. OTOH, the only LCDs that I can recall having image retention issues, are my 2010 (or circa 2010) Panasonic 42-inch Viera TV and my 47-inch Vizio E470VLE TV. IIRC, LCDs usually don't have image retention and burn-in. I have received reports of OLED suffering with image retention often, if not burn-in as well!

![]() ...but FWIW, I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses the hell out my p-touch label maker. My wife gave it to me as a gift years ago....its used a lot around here.

![]() I had all the gluxon capacitors in disrepair, I replaced them with nichicon HM series of 6.3v 1000 microfarads, and replaced 3 Teapo for Rubycon MBZ series 16V 1500 microfarads. The luck I've had with this board that is version 5, which supports all available versions of Tualatin.

![]() I like the case and the 3dfx badge, looks like a good system.

![]() The label came to me just today and I put it in the box so it could be seen that it has a 3dfx inside
![]() I chose this case because it is the best state I was, although I like it a lot, it is very solid. The bad thing is that I can't put ATX PSU. I've already tried the Dethkarz game, it's great how does it work, the processor performance is exceptional, it performs similar to Pentium 4 1.8GHz :O |

![]() I've kept two copies of each drive for more than 30 years, now. Many years ago, I was using 4G drives (I'd bought 10 of them at $1/each) for my "archive" media. I went to "recover" some software by mounting one of the set of 10 (2 x 5) in an external SCSI case. Total failure. "Crap!" OK, that's why we have a backup of each!
Pulled the second copy of the drive. Same problem. Now, two drives hosed! Only THEN did I stop to think about how unusual this would be -- after "losing" both copies of 4G of data (yeah, 4G isn't much, today, but back then it was a significant amount). Turns out, there was a bug in the OS's disk driver which caused that particular model to scramble it's VTOC almost immediately on use! And, because ALL of the 10 drives were the same model, this would continue if I had tried to use any of the other drives! [I.e., lots of damage in an ohnosecond!] So, I rolled back to an earlier release of the OS and dug out the WORM backup of the disks (7 cartridges) and restored both of the 4G drives from that. Quote:
Each of my 4 workstations needs about 4T for a full backup. So, that's doable with cheap external drives. And, the other machines tend to be considerably smaller (on the order of 1T). But, it still means a collection of "backup disks". Instead, I go the other way -- restoring the *original* images when/if I have to recover something. And, any "working files" that I may want to backup just get copied to any other machine that happens to be "up" at the time. It's an admittedly ad hoc solution but one that I can reasonably manage (and relatively easy to do cuz I'm only pushing small groups of files onto other machines instead of going through the steps of a "real" backup) Quote:
Each computer/laptop has a label for it's hostname visible -- along with the root/administrator password (if you can break into my house, having the password exposed is no worse than having it HIDDEN... once you have physical access to the machine, all security bets are off!) Ditto each UPS, NAS, printer, appliance, etc. -- any network node. I label all of the network, phone and CATV drops thoughout the house. Every external disk is labeled with the volume name of the disk contained within as well as its size (often, the enclosure may have been sold with one disk size installed and I've upgraded it). Every *bare* disk is labeled with its volume name. The printers have "useful notes" attached: "insert labels face down", "insert envelopes along left edge", etc. Seldom used items are labeled with abbreviated instructions (e.g., crank radio has a label telling me that it will run for 15 minutes when fully wound, how many revolutions to wind it completely, etc.) Yes, it is easily one of the most overused items that I have, here! It never gets "put away" because there always seems to be a use for it! The downside is that it is wasteful of "tape"; it spits out an inch of blank tape before each label! So, I make a point of queuing up several labels in it and only printing when I have reached the end of its internal buffer. Then, cutting that one LONG label into the smaller labels that I want... |

![]() I picked up a privately owned (not an abused off-lease) M6400 from ebay for cheap. I was given another M6400 with a bad GPU and a M6800 with a bad HDD from a local shop. The M6800 was sold before I even had it ready. The M6400's won't take long to re-home either. Laptops and AIO's still sell well. I can't give a tower away anymore.

![]() My main laptop (personal) is a Latitude E6430... I've had it since I graduated college in 2015. Considered upgradign but other than a new SSD, I can't be bothered. Too much $$$ to gain anything (already has an i7 and 8GB of DDR3)

FWIW, that Q9300 that never could seem to find a home ran just swell in one of the M6400's. It had a 2.4GHz C2D in it, so it was a nice upgrade for it. |

![]() The Precision 7710 I used to use (before I moved positions and received a comparatively gutless Latitude Rugged 5414) was also nice. Only rotating assemblies were the fans. Ditto for later 7700's that my other coworkers upgraded to. But those are still wicked expensive since they're still mobile CAD workhorses used by a lot of companies. The only precision laptop I didn't care for was the M6700... the screen hinges seemed flimsy, and the one I briefly had was always trouble. Hence how I got the 7710. |

I am delighted with this change in preferences as it means I have a boatload of larger machines to choose from that would otherwise be *scrapped* ("no resale value"). Personally, I like having 1100W power supplies and 6 or 7 spindles -- in addition to a set of "special" I/Os... And, room for *big* fans that can rotate more slowly instead of those buzzing little hornets! |
