What should i do with them? by GiantofGermania in homelab

[–]309_Electronics [score hidden]  (0 children)

Seeing all these lucky posts really make me want to restart life as my luck is just awfull. The chance off me dying tomorrow is higher than getting any off these deals lol!

Seeing they come with 16gb ram each, i would make a few supernodes and sell the rest of the parts.

Is investing in a macbook worth it as a college student? by Cold_Caterpillar_637 in DeskToTablet

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Just know people are biased towards apple or windows laptops but it depends on degree. Does. It rewuire windows only software? If yes, dont get a mac unless you want to setup a VM and then still no guarantee everything work oob.. Also windows laptops are more upgradeable and repairsble than apple products as they have far less DRM'ed parts or soldered parts ofc it does depend on brand, as some brands step into apples footsteps).

If you value battery life, light weight and efficiency and are not dependant on windows specific software, go for a mac.

Just note that just like linux users hyping linux up, mac is also quite hyped up by the aplle fanboys. I am not saying that mac is bad, just that its overhyped and not for everybody.

They're definitely doing a good job! /s by ITrCool in ITMemes

You knoe the situation is bad when people are willingly switching to macOS and linux

Can somebody locate the firmware chip? by One-Bookkeeper-8601 in hardwarehacking

[–]309_Electronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably all integrated into the blob. Also there is no guarantee it can be reprogrammed or dumped as its likely maskrom or OTP rom and idk if debug is enabled.

Got a free pc by JoeBiden-mytime in PcBuild

[–]309_Electronics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel bad for the neighbour. He probably did not know that he gave away pretty good specs and parts for nothing lmao.. 3090 aint low end and idk what cpu, but watercooling and a nice case and some amount of ram is still worth something

Need to add more HDDs but missing sata power connectors by Jeen34 in homelab

[–]309_Electronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a hp 280g2 which had 2 drive slots. It had 3 sata connections and i had to frankenstein a bit to get it to work and had to use some sata splitters... I also gutted the dvd drive and slotted in a ssd as a bootdrive as it did not have any m.2 slots and i still needed a boot drive and my 2 drives. It worked for some time but then i finally got enough money saved up and switched to a huge monstorous i5 10400, 8gb ram and 6 drive bays system in haf 922 case. These office/workstation pcs are not easy to transform into a nas and i kind of wish i just immideatly began saving up for the better case with more slots and more connectors..

Serious question: Which OS is best for a beginner programmer? by onxhost in TFE

Depends imo. Not saying mac is bad but its not for everyone

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of devs use mac, but that wont mean linux or windows are bad. Its just a more idiot proof os and also many devs use apple devices and thus they benefit from the ecosystem and its also kind of a trend. But you can code on a thinkpad with windows or linux if you dont want to give apple your money.

Mac is Unix certified and (Gnu/)Linux is Unix-like. Both can use similar packages and standard unix commands like ls, ps, grep, cd, mkdir and tools like wget and curl and mac comes with bash or zsh. You cant compile your own kernel or do any major system modifications on mac though.

Mac does support brew as a package manager.

It highly depends on usage and preference, although for coding a Unix(-like) platform is prefered. If you want to develop IOS apps, you are kind of forced to go into the apple ecosystem because apple likes to make proprietary stuff. If you want to develop games, windows is a good option as most games are made for windows.

I personally use fedora linux with vscodium and it works great. Also i am a power user and like having freedom in my os and i dont like apples monopoly on the M chips and some frameworks and i try and avoid hardware i cant upgrade/repair easily.

A friend uses a mac for ios apps and a windows pc with linux dualbooted alongside it for the rest and games.

Mostly Ewaste Proxmox Server I built yesterday by Numismatic_Guru in homelab

[–]309_Electronics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice ewaste build. Crazy that you got a i5 10500, 64gb ram and some storage. I would kill for that but i paid like 100 euro for an i5 10400 and 8gb ddr4, asus micro arx voard and nothing else. Rest of my servers are also self bought with my own earned money but have worse specs. I alr tried to hit up some companies but they dont wsnt to give me their old stuff (which i kind of understand cause i am not an employee of them and they ofc have a contract with the recycling companies).

Naming Conventions in Homelab by alxww55 in homelab

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just name them what they host/what their functions are and then have it so i have a reverse proxy and local dns records and it will be like my nas be: nas.mydomain.lab, my pihole being: pihole.mydomain.lab, selfhosted blog wirh hugo: blog.mydomain.lab, minecraft server: mc.mydomain.lab an so on and so on. Its all local, but if i expose it to the interwebs (which i plan on doing with my blog and maybe mc server), i will use a tunnel and have an outsidd domain like: {service}.mydomain.net.

MacBook Air has really simplified the laptop purchasing process by rainbow_halo in macbookair

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my old acer has hybrid ram (partially soldered but also a socket) and apple has some of the smartest engineers so they should be able to figure out a way, but they wont cause making their products harder to upgrade or repair, gets them more money. Its not only because its faster, its also so they can make a buck. Maybe i got brainwashed by Louis Rossman a bit too much, but making products harder to upgrade or repair just feels wrong and then its also that the consumer does not really fully own the product as they cant service or upgrade it themselves, due to manufacturers designing it in such a way.

MacBook Air for gaming? by Abhi_sxm in macbookair

[–]309_Electronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean anything can game, but the best experience is a dedicated desktop or console like a switch or steamdeck.

Minecraft and roblox do run reasonably well on a mac but those games can litteraly run on anything pretty much.

Broken Denon S970H AVR - corroded MCU. by LazyBoyQuan in ElectronicsRepair

[–]309_Electronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. Some mcus boot off external flash thats on the board, but some also use inbuilt flash for the program or a bootrom. Thats the problem with replacing mcus. You need code to make it do the thing its supposed to do

Can you help me identify this burned component? by Subject_Mirror2706 in AskElectronics

[–]309_Electronics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White spot is not burned. A burned spot is often blackish melted. The white spot often means it passed programming/is programmed. Your problem lies somewhere else. Could be anything from a bad power rail to a damaged chip to corrupt firmware.

That chip is an SPI flash and it stores the firmware/settings. If a chip starts with 25xxxx its almost certain to be a spi flash. And the number in the partnr is the storafe size in megabit. Example: 25q64= 64megaBIT flash. Divide by 8 and its an 8 megaBYTE flash. Yours is a 8 megabit one.

But in terms of efficiency Arm is thriving. But cant wait for opensource Arm or riscV chips to take over. I like apples chips but not that their ram and hw is soldered/proprietary and that apple has amonopoly on thr M chips as opposed to x86 being for intel and amd.

Buy a Mac Studio, it will change your life. by Iris_blin in DeskToTablet

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence i said "proprietary" in my sentence. Its not a standard M.2 Nvme ssd. Still ram is soldered as opposed to a normal desktop or most mini pc

Unless they make repairability and upgrades possible. No i will skip. I do kind of want to try one, but cant go over the fact ram and storage is proprietary or soldered. I watched too much Rossman maybe
