What's your latest tech purchase?

[ThaiTaffy]

Sidequestion:

You guys are much more experienced in this topic; is there a way to install an external temperature sensor and power it via SATA so I can implement another one in my BIOS?
i think the latter will hardly be possible... what does the expert think?

Implementation in bios I have no idea but any Arduino or esp board for $2 can handle as many i2c temp sensors as you would ever want

Dam. And I only got maybe a year out of the evo850. Fortunately I'm only going to run windows on it, so who cares.....

There were a lot of Halo recordings written to the Crucial MX500, but that was absurd! At least according to CrystalDiskInfo, the lifetime remaining was low for 1 year of usage, but some argue that it's interpreting the SMART wrong. Really?! OTOH, I know that's the case with Seagate Barracuda HDDs, where they show non-standard readings for "Raw Read Error Rate".

So lots of goodies have been delivered and I have more projects going on that I can even remember. My 2nd hand Poe switch had been mauled by an oaf and the reset switch needed to be replaced as it was jammed closed but it's up and working.

The omada Access points turned out to work great with the thick concrete walls of our house so much so that one covered the whole building so I have one spare which might go in the garage.

My solar irrigation project has been a slight pain the magnetic coil relays seem to draw power in idle state and I had no small transistors so I added a whopper now just waiting for the valves and BMS as well as some small other bits.

Next purchase is a coil of slinged cat 6 cable and some outdoor access points for the garden.

What am i looking for in CDI to tell me my drives are reaching their lifetime?

 

[plastiscɧ]

What would you be wanting the sensor to monitor? I can't see there been any hop of adding the sensors feed into the bios display

i broke the connector for the T_Sensor on my motherboard. i used it to observe the surface of my graphics card to set up the fan speed to put more pressure inside the case when needed. it was very precise. now i must use the other sensors but they are not that adjustable like the one i had.

Not sure what you mean - it's possible to have sensors read by the mobo (simple little 2 pin cables), external software ones (my corsair commander pro has 2 headers for this) as well as powered from wherever external ones with displays

BIOS is only going to read the simple 2 pin thermistor cables, they dont need power


Side note: water temp 37-39C, sounds perfect

Corsair commander pro, can set to control fans too.

Hallelujah! My U80-A SEQ2 is finally shipping out after waiting 15 months. All things considered, could have been a lot worse in pandemic time.

Very excited to be coming back to TKL. Have spent more than the last 5 years on exclusively 60% boards. Have some Turquoise Tealios ready to be lubed with 205g0 and put into this board, gonna take my time with this one. Not sure yet whether I want to put 9009 or Dolch on this board.

i have a similar treasure in my basement! u brought me to an idea...

 

[INSTG8R]

Here's my diy water temp, connected to boards temp input header. hole drilled through cap and sealed with araldite.

Now that is something I could totally do too! My other sensor header is at the front of my board right above my reservoir…been awhile since I’ve done any ghetto mods but you guys are giving me some pretty cool ideas!

I’ve had 2 running in RAID0 since 2015…

QLC is garbage in my opinion

We could not agree more on that point.

i wouldnt install a QLC to the PS3

I refuse to install it in anything.

And honestly, who isn't impressed at how goddamn SMALL the QVO drives were inside?

I'm not saying it's not impressive in how compact QLC is, just how unacceptable the durability factor is.

My brother gave/permaloaned me his DJI spark


test one, i managed to get a herd of roos, one mama with joey hanging out

I mean, they didn't kill me?

 

[Deleted member 24505]

My thoughts too. Was thinking how many cores does it have, then realised it's just a keyboard.

 

[INSTG8R]

I’d personally prefer to just see them like that, from a safe distance.

Interesting! I have to admit, the only typewriter I've ever gotten my hands on was a cheap crappy Triumph Adler Cherry MY I stripped for the keyset. Spent many hours cleaning the keys with Dawn, but it was worth every minute. Haven't used it on anything in a while, but it goes well with many colourways. My fave combo was combined with the modifiers from my Sky Dolch set.

Though, it's not the right colourway for the U80.

$532?!? Good Grief!!

In hindsight, I should clarify that I was just giddy I got the shipping email, it was not my intention to boast - just one of many decisions of which I'm not so proud and probably one of many reasons why I can't afford a 3070

I haven't been in the keyboard game for a couple years now. But as much as I like my X60 R, starting to feel like I could do with more keys at my disposal. I saw the U80 SEQ2 group buy go up towards the end of last year, and decided to go for it. It was pushed back a few times thanks to the chip shortage.

i used it 35 years ago when i was in school. if u like those objects i'll send it to canada. no problem.

i have no emotional connection to this machine. but i never wanted to throw it away. it is in a case that was delivered for this typewriter.
through you i have only seen how it has actually gained in value.

I was just pointing out that price! For that kind of money, that thing had better be gold-plated and have a 10year warranty.

Thanks. It's B2B purchase within EU so I still have to pay 23% VAT for it here.

Damnit i wanted more attention on that roo shot, that drone has no zoom so i literally had to ZOOM up in their face
