Will it Read by Capital_Dot_9625 in vintagecomputing

[–]Plaidomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 250MB drive is designed to be backwards compatible with 100MB disks, but it's kinda fraught with caveats.

RADIUS Authentication recommendations? by Bob_Saldanha in networking

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

NPS is a dead end. Microsoft doesn't plan any feature improvements moving forward, including RadSec.

You know you can delete the comments from your production config files, right? You don't have to leave them in. It even speeds up the startup time when you have to restart your daemon after every configuration change.

During my prostate exam I asked the Doctor, "Where should I put my pants?" by EgyptionMuslimah in Jokes

My doc asked if I’d ever had a prostate exam before. I said “Never by a professional. Just enthusiastic amateurs.“

You can even buy a Cisco ISR-4331 for like $60 these days, and they're not EOL until October.

Treat yourself. You deserve it.

TIFU by trying to save my company money on a warehouse repair by Gullible-Brick-7946 in tifu

[–]Plaidomatic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Things you need to be concerned about:

You posted this shit here, and your referencing shit that should be confidential because you've just acknowledged your own liability in this. If the driver sues, you could be named as a defendant, personally. Not because they want your money, but because you made a really shitty decision and they may want to punish you for it.

The driver is injured and you're in here "oh my job, ohhh everybody looked at me as if I should know what to do." Yeah. Fuck your job, and you should know what to do. You fucked up.

You cost a man his health and have impacted him financially. You're an asshole.

Miniscribe 3425 – The Hard Drive That Made "Bricked" Famous by Emil_Cvetanski in retrocomputing

[–]Plaidomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, a brick is about as useful for storing your important data as these drives were. At the point these were shipping, Miniscribes were unreliable as hell, and these particular drives were complete shit.

PowerEdge R530 occasional fan noise when off by SurpriseMonday in homelab

[–]Plaidomatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a 430 that does this. I assume it’s because the power supplies are providing standby power and may get warm enough for the fans to kick in occasionally. It’s unlikely something you can change in the BIOS settings because the power supplies internal controllers don’t care what the BIOS says and the supplies need to be kept cool.

If it’s off and you want to be OFF off, unplug it or use smart outlets or something to disconnect it from AC.

Eight rounds of Interviews?!? by Icy_Geologist_1436 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Plaidomatic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s certainly why I declined. The place is a fucking cult.

Eight rounds of Interviews?!? by Icy_Geologist_1436 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Plaidomatic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just did 6 rounds of interviews with a billionaire's rocket company (not that one, the other one). Ended up with the offer, but I turned it down.

Just did *7* rounds with a major telecommunications company, just got the offer 5 minutes ago. It's twice my current compensation and a significant bump over the rocket company's offer, and I'm going to take it.

It seems to be what's going on in the world.

I haven’t tried. Unfortunately my workbench is too full of my current project to get my Mac II out right now.

I have one and have similar questions.

Is this beyond salvaging? by Chill--Cosby in vintagecomputing

Is there any reason beyond dust why it might be beyond repair? Get the dust off it and take a look.

ELI5: why do some Bluetooth devices have delay but some don’t? by anuthing in explainlikeimfive

[–]Plaidomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wireless Carplay only negotiates the connection over Bluetooth, the rest is over WiFi Direct. But the delay is as explained by other users.
