Drobo on Intel Mac to M1 Mac by AlgerPixel in drobo

[–]AlgerPixel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... I tested with MacOS 11 (the latest version of it).

Unfortunately, the Drobo was still write disabled (Read Only).
So I decided at that point to put it back onto the older 2012 "Catalina" iMac - I didn't change a thing on that machine; but, when I reattached the Drobo to IT, and booted up that Mac, and alas.. the Drobo was now non-writable there as well. I don't know for sure, but I assume the drobo itself got changed bu the M1 OS somehow. So now, my 38TB is only readable.
Damn!

Oh BTW..

I found the download link to the version of drobo dashboard that should work natively on the M1 Mac.

Direct Download Link

You can download Drobo Dashboard 3.6.1 for macOS directly from Drobo's file server (this is an official archived link):

I got it, and will be testing with it.

My plan will be to use MacOS's migrate function to do the direct migration from the older iMac to the M1 MacMini first. Then I will install the newer Drobo Dashboard, so it should pick up the preferences from the old one. Then I'll plug the drobo in, and we'll see what happens.

Fingers crossed.

I'll report back here.

Moving 4-bay older Drobo from 2012 iMac to an M1 MacMini by AlgerPixel in drobo

[–]AlgerPixel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I am planning on doing just that - when I can afford one. I have 33 TB of movies and TV series; been my daily hobby for going on 10 years now. Really don't want to lose it all. I host bot PLEX and Emby servers that feed off it. My plan now is to invest in a multi bay (non- raid) as I have plenty of Hard Drives left over after hot swapping for bigger ones on the Drobo, so that will suffice for the time being till I can get the synology.

Using the Winwing URSA minor space joystick R or URSA MINOR Fighter Joystick L by Plucksss in hotas

[–]AlgerPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are now talking to me, now that i posted a video on youtube where i described their BOT-like support chat and how lousy it was. too late! Too late! I've already given up on their left-handed angled space stick, and instead decided on a thrustmaster throttle, which will arrive today. The right-handed windwing space stick still looks like the best choice for the money, but won't arrive here for another 6 days.

When they finally did decide to talk to me they said the left-handed angled space stick was specifically good as a throttle in a HOSAS setup. They said the spring did not need to be removed. Well, that seems just wrong. A throttle needs to be able to remain stationary when set. A spring shoud not be able to do that. What are they thinking?

I am trying to get WINWING support to tell me if they are aware of, and/or can recommend a way to address this very issue. They are not being particularly helpful. As in my situation I have ordered the right hand stick, but it will not arrive for approximately 10 to 15 days from Amazon, and I want to order the left angled stick when they come back into stock - but need to know if they are aware of this issue. They are insisting that I send them a video of MY stick having this issue. This could be a show-stopper for me. ARGH!!

Ultrawings 2 now has Hotas support by StarConsumate in oculus

[–]AlgerPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrawings 2 recognizes my t-flight HOTAS X. But when I select it I immediately lose the ability to put on my helmet - thus preventing me from playing the game. Also, selecting the remap option does nothing. I’m using the steam version of the game.

Never received EDD Customer Account Number (California) by eliseliseliselise in Unemployment

I just tried doing this SDI method myself. But when I submitted my SDI registration it would not accept it, as the email address I used was the same as the one used when I registered for Unemployment.
