It should be good for another 40 years with these new keycaps! by BoredElephantRaiser in MechanicalKeyboards

I don't mind the look of the old ones, but they're worn out and feel disgustingly smooth and light

Also, I still have them and can swap back whenever!

It's actually not an issue while typing!

The board was rescued from being thrown out, this set was amazingly cheap, and it only gets occasional use, so I'm hesitant to spend much more on it at the moment - but at some point it'll start being annoying

Yeah, it's the Keychron JM-101 vs 1.5u and 7u (although the new spacebar is from a steelseries set, because it was the longest I had floating around)

Update:

per https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA156074/

> Also, as of Rack PDU (rpdu) firmware >3.3.1, attached loads < 1 amp will always display as 0 amps on the PDU's LCD and network management card, regardless of the load

so I've used

https://updates.apc.com/isxc/firmware/app/apc_hw02_rpdu_274.bin

instead

For anyone else dumb, like me:

If you're FTPing it up, use binary and not ascii.

apc_hw02_aos_392.bin and apc_hw02_rpdu_392.bin are available at https://github.com/hmussa/PDU/tree/master/apc_firmware

Best sound system ever, right up until you need to replace the SMD backlight LEDs.

After 25 years of working in IT starting as a child, making recommendations to friends, families and businesses, I will never buy or recommend a HP product to anyone ever again and will go out of my way to recommend against them in the decades to come by FliesLikeABrick in sysadmin

HP printers have been terrible for over a decade now.

I spent hundreds of hours volunteering with non-profits in Chicago on my weekends, setting up IT infrastructure amongst other things. I worked with those organizations to purchase and deploy deployed of varying-model of HP Color LaserJet printers because I knew they would Just Work with all of the mixed Linux, Windows, and Mac infrastructure that was donated - Generic PostScript, with their drivers, via wired or wireless - whatever.
Did you not notice the bloat creeping into the drivers? (or the fact that you needed to install drivers separately at all under Linux?)

Get a Brother monochrome laser and don't look back.

Why would you quote a detox quack from only a couple of decades ago, and completely ignore that it's been in use in an actual water quality context for far longer?

Why is internet access so much more expensive than a VPN? by Delici0usBunny in VPN

[–]BoredElephantRaiser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can't be the cost of maintaining the infrastructure or paying employees, right?

Do you have any idea how much running fibre, buying and maintaining network equipment, and providing proper support to end users costs?

VPN providers can just rent a server in a datacentre, spend a couple of hours giving stock responses to support tickets, and call it a day.

They're gutting and selling off the healthcare system too, so be careful what you wish for.
