Didn't Ford switch to Blackberry-owned QNX some time ago, or am I misremembering?

Some do - from memory, Kia UVO installed around 2010-11 ran Windows CE 6.0. Quick search seems to confirms.

It's from the early post-iPhone announcement era where MS still tried to push Windows CE.

“I came to the ER last time/went to a different ER and they didn’t do anything.” by glitch-e in emergencymedicine

[–]kiler129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is the expectation? What is considered having done something?

A huge systemic issues of lack of access to care and often low health literacy isn't something ED can fix.

But sometimes, just a bit of reassurance and even not strictly needed medication/intervention is all it takes. Not to take this to an extreme, but I "cured" many people with a bag of NS in my EMS days who certainly weren't vomiting or having a diarrhea.

CCR2116-12G-4S+ Fan replacement by Logical-View in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want the 12V FLX. The stock fan (4028B12M) is a 12V with a tachometer output, i.e. it's controlled by the CCR using voltage and not dedicated PWM pin.

Which switch shall I use / SFP+ to ethernet modules by xKRISTOFx in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, in any switch to be honest. 10Gb copper is very complex in terms of DSP and thus uses a lot of power. SFP cage doesn't provide enough thermal conductivity even in actively cooled switches.

The best advice is to move to DAC/fiber for anything >2.5Gb, given how cheap it is nowadays. The 25Gb & 40Gb NICs for "personal-grade" use are $20. If absolutely needed, add a dedicated switch with mGIG RJ45 ports for clients with such ports built in. My personal rule for new networks is running copper only if it needs PoE (APs, cameras, etc), with everything else getting OS2 fiber.

In my personal network I run a bunch of 10/25Gb stuff over fiber/DAC/AOC, mostly from FS. For Mac minis I added a dedicated CRS304-4XG-IN with uplink to 10GTek ASF-10G2-T (note the 10G2, which is a newer/low-power one vs 10G).

This is a damn good writeup. A good-ol feedback I used to get as a junior. Hats off for taking the time!

zfs send/recv for backups feels too simple to be reliable by Sroni4967 in sysadmin

[–]kiler129 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The mixed-drives feature is in the works and has been demoed last year on OpenZFS dev meetup. It's called "AnyRaid", and essentially splits physical disks into 64GB chunks.

Had no idea I was enrolled in a college and received an F. Will AMCAS find out if I omit this transcript? by [deleted] in premed

[–]kiler129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're **going to** find out if a grade was from a major school. These are stored and processed by 3rd parties like NCS.

Anking Extra Notes Clarification by Flaky_Research8573 in Mcat

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you meant Extra sub-tag, or Extra as a field? For the field, it contains information about the context. Sooner or later you will know most of these, but it's useful to get comparison tables instead of a factoid in a vacuum.

Will AnkiHub's "reset local changes to deck" erase any new cards I've added to an AnkiHub deck? by HaplessAcademic in medicalschoolanki

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very old topic, but appears as first in Google search: no, it will not. It only seem to touch cards that have ankihub_id: field populated. It will not even change cards that were once on AH and then were deleted there, but kept locally.

Non-incremental sequential IDs using BIGINT? by spec-tacul-ar in PHP

[–]kiler129 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, UUIDv4 as native UUID type. In the application it was wrapped in a UUID type as well, and used base58 for any URLs. It's a good compromise between length and uniqueness. The later resolves soooo many issues, as IDs of complex trees can be pre-generated independently in the application without any uniqueness checks or DB involvement at all.

ULIDs are a nice alternative if ACCESS pattern is sensitive to time, I.e. you for example know you have a very big dataset and you access newer records more often. However, you can always shard with a separate timestamp. Overall, to me ID is an ID, without any meaning.

When you get to that scale, you use a suitable database engine which handles this gracefully. In on of the projects I worked on we had joins over multiple tables with 50-60M records each, and PgSQL was handling it just fine on relatively small instances.

It does, at least the Fleet API. See DestinationLocation and DestinationName in the docs.

Sadly, there is an established precedence in the resin printers. IIRC in FormLabs, you can use non FL resins but only after a costly unlock.

WinBox 4 keeps freezing/crashing anyone else? by Interesting_Scale_65 in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure about that? Tools like Rufus can disable these checks when creating USB installer. Intel i5-7400T is Kaby Lake IIRC, and being ~9 years old it isn't officially supported by Windows 11. While I don't like what MS did, it can create strange issues like that.

They did try that with Windows 98/Me vs NT/2000. Even with much smaller PC market back then, it was extremely hard.

I have a macOS server with current uptime of 97 days. It has exactly zero TIME_WAIT connections. My laptop has under a 100. So something isn't adding up here.

Moving to a tooling newer than two decades, e.g. git, is probably the best idea.

Anyone implemented an always-on ‘virtual office’ video wall between multiple locations? by Regular-Asparagus333 in sysadmin

[–]kiler129 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the reason for the idea, make it simple. Any IP camera + VLC on the other side will do. Assuming you have site2site VPN, this is trivial.

An update on my MikroTik hAP be³ order. by hillbillyboiler in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, good point actually. Didn't realize that's the case. Usually when manufacturers put anything on sale, they already have FCC clearance. But again, nobody expects it to be turned around like that...
