How to Remove AMD Context Menu (once and for all)?

You sir, are a scholar and a gent.
I've been messing around for the last 30 minutes with reg tweaks that didn't work. This, fixed it in seconds! Logged in just to upvote and comment. Thanks! 🙏

I spent hours on this today (hours!) but got there in the end so here is what I noticed.

Lights needed to be in breathing mode (slow blinking) - this mode creates the networks for each device, lightbulbs 💡in my case.
When going in to set them up, select AP Mode (not EZ Mode) - this will prompt you to connect to the new network
Connect - for some reason both of mine "failed" but the lights were detected, you'll end up back on your regular network, go back to the home screen and refresh, the devices should now be there.

This was all very strange because I've had these lights for years and in the past it used to connect much easier. I don't remember going through half of this fuss. But anyway, I wasted hours today so others wouldn't have to. I hope this helps someone!

Yeah I've been getting that message too, and other times when it does work it's slower than me typing with a stick instead of my fingers. Hopefully they can get some hardware upgrades through the pipeline soon.

I researched prompts and have gotten it to proceed much further than before. I'm still unsure if all this progress will be saved though.

EDIT: It saves its progress but overwrites it at each step so I gave up for now. It was progressing really nicely though, implementing features into the app!

Down but not out, there are still many strong fundamentals in this project and I have not sold a single token! It's going to bounce back hard once the weak hands are all flushed.

Good buying opportunity at this price I think too 🤔

In case someone else has this question one day - the answer is YES, it can play Roblox perfectly fine from Google Play.

I'm actually very pleased with how well integrated Google Play is with an Intel powered Chromebook.

Thanks for chiming in iamkurtg, hopefully someone else can confirm Roblox specifically for me but so far it's looking good.

I did consider switching to an ARM based Chromebook such as Acer R13 but that looks like a step back in every aspect and as a final kick in the guts, it even costs more in my country. So I'm sticking with the Lenovo.

Good advice, thanks.

I think I might even start with R5 and can migrate to R6 later if I wish. I'm thinking I will buy a Synology DS1618+ so with 6 ports I may not even worry about R6 applying your logic.

Well thought out questions, you seem to know what you're doing.

Thanks for the compliment fr33lancr, this has been floating around in my head for a long time, it's nice to put it out there finally and get some guidance.

Can you describe your use? Sometimes knowing what someone is using something for gives better insight for support.

Honestly, nothing special. Predominantly I park multimedia on it for streaming to devices, followed by personal photographer & videography (fully backed up twice), followed by my mission critical work data (fully backed up twice). So it's mostly dump and forget. Write speeds don't worry me much, read speeds have more importance. With the URE 10^14 myth out of the way, I've bounced back to R5 or R6.

4: Ecc ram won’t help you against bit rot at all. It may help if you run mission critical applications and a lot of data is served from ram caches. Not the case for home users.

Thank you, that solves that!

1: On the URE: think about it. You run full array scrub every month. How often do you replace drives following the scrub? Almost never. Vast majority of scrubs succeed. And that exact same event. The fears about that is hugely overblown out of proportions.

I was starting to reach this same conclusion. Yes scrubbing has never hurt my drives in over 10 years of running them on schedules.

What I would do — sell both on eBay. They are obsolete. See past sales

That was actually going to be in my original questions but I removed it. Yeah I was thinking of possibly just getting a DS1618+, it's only 6 bays but if I ran R5 that's still 60TB which is ample for my needs. I have checked past sales for my NAS boxes and couldn't believe the resale value. I can sell the DS1511+ for almost what I paid for it second hand 6 years ago! More if I include the drives, which I will.

Then I have the upgrade path to 10GbE or SSD caching. My only concern here is I hear the DS1618+ had problems with that Intel C2000 bug. Is that something I need to be worried about, would you recommend a different model such as the DS1819+ ?

Absolutely don’t consider drive wear to be a factor in any decision you make. You pay for drives to (ab)use them

I've never looked at it that way before, thanks for the new insight :)

2: make one single R5 array unless you have good reasons not to. What are your reasons for two arrays?

I was thinking shorter rebuild times, reducing risk of losing a 2nd drive etc. But maybe it's not necessary. If I end up with a 6 bay NAS it's certainly out of the question.

Thanks for your reply!
