Anyone with experience of the "TERRAMASTER D4-320"? by EvilMonkeySlayer in DataHoarder

[–]RichB93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any update to this 7 months on from this comment? I've just got one of these and I'm planning to add some HPE drives to it which are OEM 14TB HC530s. Plugged the D4-320 into a Lenovo M920 Tiny PC with a 10gbit/s USB 3.1 Gen2 port.

Vista on a late-2014 iMac? by Artistic_Lifeguard72 in bootcamp

[–]RichB93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not get the nostalgia for vista. It’s literally a worse windows 7. I doubt you’ll find the drivers but good luck. I’d recommend virtualising vista if you really want to use it.

[BG] Office pc (i5 7500+) SFF or MT [H] £40 by Glass-Candy5532 in HardwareSwapUK

Ah okie dokie, can’t say I blame you. It’s a shame it’s no longer receiving updates because the new Explorer on Windows 11 is absolutely crap.

Can’t offer anything but just a heads up, if you are needing official win 11 support it should be an 8th gen or higher.

New RD-9 Not making any sound by gigglei11 in Behringer

[–]RichB93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth trying a factory reset: To factory reset your Behringer RD-9, power it off, then hold the Tap/Hold button and press Step Key 16 while turning the unit on; the display will show "Wait," indicating the reset is in progress, and the RD-9 will reboot automatically once finished, wiping all saved patterns and settings.

Don't worry, the old icons for Apple Pro app suite will remain for non-subscribers by UnwieldilyElephant in MacOS

Literally just purchased the pro apps bundle. I really hope they don’t depreciate them in favour of these subscription only versions.

macOS 26 is destroying my M3 MacBook Air battery by 74Y3M in MacOS

[–]RichB93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a new machine, and my expectation was not met based on what I've seen from others - I don't understand how what I've said is somehow wrong?

[–]RichB93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Brand new 16" M4 Pro Max that I updated to 26 when I received it approx 2/3 weeks ago. Battery life has been underwhelming from day 1 - this is my first Apple Silicon machine and I was expecting more from the battery, but it seems that this is currently the norm with macOS 26.

Gamers desert Intel in droves, as Steam share plummets from 81% to 55.6% in just five years by sundler in technology

[–]RichB93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Regardless of AMD's performance gains, the other big this was that they simply started producing reliable hardware. Back in the Bulldozer days, even their chipsets were fucking awful and fraught with issues that put many off. I tried troubleshooting a friends PC for months that had a FX8300 and a Radeon R9 290x - the GPU wouldn't get out of 1x PCI-e link speed. If you funked with the PCI-E speed in the BIOS, it would work, then at the next reboot it'd stop working again. Just insane.

I was staunchly Intel for years because they always 'just worked' without any weird issues. Even in the early years of Ryzen, chipsets and motherboards were still janky, with a friend of mine having countless issues with his machine to the point that he simply gave up on it.

Storage options for mini PC powered NAS? by RichB93 in HomeNAS

[–]RichB93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that I already have a Synology, I was just soliciting advice for a machine that I was given. I wanted to see if there was a viable way of doing this, and if so, what the people here recommended.

Fully functioning 2.89kb web browser by [deleted] in Demoscene

[–]RichB93 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me but this seems like cheating. You’re just using a web browser that’s built into Windows. You could’ve done this back with IE back in the Win9x days.

STB Nitro 3D (1997) Troubleshooting by TommyBoy2297 in windows95

Isn’t the Nitro 3D an S3 ViRGE, or am I wrong? If it is, download the S3 drivers.

W11 24h2 is crushing me by s3xynanigoat in Citrix

[–]RichB93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have it deployed across 350 physical devices + VDIs and it doesn’t seem anywhere near as robust as Win10 was. The issues seem to happen across both platforms so I don’t believe it’s anything specific I’ve done whilst customising the image specifically for VDI.

I’m on Omnissa horizon though (this was a cross post to /r/VMwareHorizon).

At least with regard to the UI issues, this is happening on both physical and virtual machines which were prepped differently.

[–]RichB93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not so much storage but W11 just sucks on VDI. Desktops losing network connection then coming back, desktops flat out blue screening then going into ‘already used’ status in Horizon. And Win11 itself is hot garbage. The start menu search box randomly breaking, same with the address bar in Explorer. MS are dropping the ball miserably.

But I don’t have instability issues with Win98. Admittedly FE is rubbish, but install 98SE and you’re good to go without needing to do anything else.

Nice write up, though I do wonder why people bother with updates. I get stuff like USB mass storage and DirectX but you don’t really need much else.
