  • I've generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn't, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn't actually function.

    Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

    I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn't that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

    ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="20f4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="e02c", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe r8152" RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 20f4 e02c > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152/new_id'"

  • Not on my Galaxy S23+ from Google Fi

  • I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.

    I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.

    Haven't received one since.

  • You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

  • It wasn't a suggestion at all.

    I was just saying that we, the consumer are going to end up paying for it somehow or another.

  • Like they're going to just take the lack of those fee profits off the bottom line. Look forward to the new and/or increased yearly fees now.

  • The sound of the "Click of Death" still haunts me.

    We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

  • zzzzziiiiippppp

  • Nice find!

    I'd be curious to see RTINGS do a review of the panel on it.

  • I thought I was 43 for probably close to a year, and even told everyone that asked I was until I had to get my own health insurance and found out I was actually 44.

  • Except if you care about anything having to do with picture quality, brightness, contrast ratio or features such as HDR etc, then it's going to be a really shitty TV. They're made for the menus at McDonald's, not a device for modern media.

  • Steelcase leap v2 from Crandall online.

    They're an official remanufacturee, so they put new cylinders, new casters and other parts like fresh foam and fabric on them.

    Mine was a grade B and honestly, I couldn't find a single mark or scratch on it.

  • It's adjustable and lockable on the Leap v2 that I have.

    I really like that I can set it at the angle I prefer and like you said, keep it from going back every time I want to sit back in the chair.

  • If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step...

    press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.

    Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.

  • You could burn so many .mp3 CDs with that thing!!!
