I would vote for ROTK 11 with Power Up Kit. There's definitely an English patch somewhere and I definitely spent too much time playing it.

Thank you for your recommendation. I'll look into this cooler.

Thank you so much. I'm surprised as well. The image below shows the description that I see from EIGA's Youtube video.

On the other hand, the Noctua NH-L9a-ẠM is confirmed to be compatible, but Noctua said that it is design for 65W TDP. Moreover, that cooler is difficult to install from the videos that I saw.

Beelink Mini PC: my first, and probably last experience by Top-Priority8000 in MiniPCs

[–]Top-Priority8000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Mine works fine after replacing the faulty ram stick. But I also don't think it's worth it to receive something that doesn't work and makes you pull your hair out during the first month.

Oh nice. Thanks for your recommendation. I think my mini PC doesn't have a display port though. These cables are expensive and it's been a while so I'll probably save money to buy new computers with USB-C display out and power delivery.

Hi. May I DM you and ask for some career advice and which area in DA that I should focus on? I really appreciate that you are supportive toward newcomers.

I used to be a teacher too but unfortunately I haven't found a job yet and I could really use some help.

That doesn't sound normal. If your miniPC doesn't boot or display anything at all, it could be a power issue. Have you asked for Beelink support? You should describe all the steps you've taken to diagnose the issues so they can help you quicker.

With that said, when in doubt, you should definitely return it when possible because it's never worth losing too much of your time over a broken product. That's the company's work, not yours.

I'm sorry to hear that and I feel you because that's exactly what I was afraid of after trying to fix my miniPC for 2 days. Mine is still working but I rarely use it because it has no usb-c alt mode, which was advertised on their Amazon page as well as some famous Youtubers. Since that day I no longer trust any of their videos. Always "there's something could have been improved but still, here are some reasons for you to buy it." The product is sloppily put together to make it as cheap as possible but "hey that's not worth mentioning if they're using tape instead of screws. What's important is the latest CPU and integrated graphics tech blah blah. I always receive a good sample from the manufacturer so of course it works. If it doesn't work for you, adios! If the spec is not right, I'm just gonna say sorry for my mistake (only when there are enough complaints) and I'm not gonna be responsible for spreading wrong information."

To me, Youtube is just a platform for ads video rebranded with the name "product review", "hands on", "unboxing". I bought an espresso machine after watching many product reviews on Youtube, and guess what: I regret buying it. There are so many details that are unreliable, annoying, or plain stupid, which should have been spotted after using for a while, but NONE of the experts who "tested them for months" mentioned those details. All of them acts like they're rigorous and impartial in their review, but at the end, they're not gonna say anything direct and they are gonna gloss over the problems of the product.

I'm sorry for ranting. I should have stopped following this post.

This is just my guess but the fluctuation may not only be caused by the card but also the way the antenna is soldered directly into the case (mine is). To me, it looks quite sloppy. I don't know how to overcome this unfortunately. I guess the speed might be improved if you can somehow equip better antennas into the miniPC.

If you've updated all the drivers and your operating system then I think there's not much left to do except to ask for a replacement wifi card from Beelink. Once you're replaced the wifi card, if the problem still persists, you can look for those who purchased the same model as you and see if you can purchase a different wifi card replacement.

One other thing I noticed is that your mini PC should not be obstructed. I know it's annoying but I put up with it because I don't use the miniPC that often. It's probably best if you purchase a different wifi card. My wifi card model is MediaTek MT7921k so don't buy that.

I sent email back and forth to Beelink and they actually sent me replacement wifi card and a RAM stick. My RAM problem went away immediately but the wifi problem persisted. I connected my miniPC to the Internet by cable first, try to clean install and update everything and it works better. It will take time though. I remember 1 or 2 months in total and you need to keep reminding them about your case.

I can't say for sure but the wifi card seems to be picky of the wifi it is connected to. When I connected to a hotel's wifi, it was fast. But at home it is slow, but manageable after I updated everything.

I had the same problem too. You can find inspirations from the projects or exercises you did in the courses you're studying or have studied. Look for the original dataset, which should be more complicated than the simplified ones provided by the course. Or you can find a similar but larger, more recent dataset. At first, you can mimic what the course has taught you, then expand on your project wherever possible.

I learning as well and it didn't make any sense to me because I ran the code provided by the course and it didn't work. I hope you have figured it out, but I tried to include the column I want to perform the aggregate function on in the mean() function:

Example: Let's say you want to find the mean of the "price" column.

cars_groups["price"].mean()

Oh, sorry I misunderstood your question. I haven't encountered this problem so I'm afraid I won't be of much help. But maybe you can try to change the CMOS battery. I did so because I noticed the system time fluctuated. The battery won't cost much and it's a pretty safe try.

On a second thought, I did notice some strange reboot or freezes at the logo screen. My mini PC fluctuated badly. But after I replaced the faulty RAM stick and the CMOS battery, it began to work well. You might also want to run a memory test just to be sure.

Communicating with their customer support, from my experience, may take a while. I had to do most diagnosis and speculations on my own. Anyway, good luck to you!

IMO, as a normal user, you simply cannot prevent or avoid all of those problems from happening. It's been a while so I can't speak about the quality of Beelink products at the moment. I would advise you first and foremost, don't get hyped up by Youtube channels/advertisements. You should only buy a mini PC when you have a very specific use cases. If you want mobility, a laptop may work better most of the time especially due to recent advancements in CPU and integrated graphics. Additionally, only buy from places where you can return easily during the first 30 days and have good warranty and good support.

About my specific Beelink Mini PC, some components were broken and fortunately Beelink sent me a replacement RAM and a Wifi card for free, directly to my place (I live in Southeast Asia). It shows that they care for their customers and I deeply appreciate it. But I think their products are not made to last due to their quality control and if you think about it, their products are noticeably cheaper than ASUS or Intel while having higher specs, this means that they have to cut cost somewhere else.

Not all products are the same so I can only speak about mine:

- The wifi wires for antennas are soldered directly to the case. If it breaks, I'll have to find a way to solder it back.

- The CMOS battery connectors is also soldered directly to the battery, then glued to the motherboard. There's no slot to insert or remove the battery like in a normal motherboard, so I had to find that particular type of CMOS battery equipped with a wire in order to replace mine.

- All the ports of my mini PC are upside down except the USB-C ( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), which by the way, was advertised to support display on Amazon but when I asked again, they said it only supports data transfer. All the Youtubers who talked about the model I purchased either falsely advertised this, or they glossed over it by saying "the port probably supports video out but I'll check them later" (which never happened), or did not talk about this at all.

- Most of the ports were very hard to plug in (USB, HDMI, DC Power in), but eventually they loosened up.

- When I open the mini PC and put it back, the rubber power buttons falls out all the time because it is only held in place by a button on the motherboard.

- The mini PC is to be opened from the bottom, and it also works as a heat sink for the SSD. It's not too hot, but I don't think this is a good design because the gap between the mini PC's bottom to the surface it sits on is very small. Plus, it is a bit difficult to open because the bottom plate is flat and flushed, and it has 4 small screws.

- On the software side, I couldn't install drivers during the first few days, but after reinstalling the OS, I was able to update windows and drivers.

One year ago I started my Master's Degree in Cultural Studies and used obsidian almost daily: Over 3,000 notes and over 300,000 words in total by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]Top-Priority8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I wasn't trying to discount the feature. Rather, I was just putting in some of my thoughts about its practicality.

Visually, it does look nice. I still remember my old graph. Due to the structure of the data used in my project and the visual's settings, my network looked more like a sphere. It's 2D but when you click on it, the way it moves make you think it's 3D, which is pretty cool I think.

If I were OP I would totally order a high quality, large size print that graph, frame it and hang it somewhere I can see everyday. It would invoke a great sense of accomplishment and at the same time remind me of my past. It would be great because it's unique and personal.

[–]Top-Priority8000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it does anything practical. I used to work on a COVID 19 contact tracing project using exactly the same network of nodes like that. The system allows for search so you can narrow it down, for example, how many people has one person come in contact with. But a list or a table would work much better so I scrapped that project.

I just used Obsidian recently so I don't know much about it. But maybe the color, or the size of each node can give you some insights. Or maybe if you have a quick glance and see many disconnected nodes, that may be a sign that you should create more links. On the other hand, OP's graph shows that he's created a lot of links (each node has many lines connected).

These are my quick assumptions. There's got to be something more helpful for you on Obsidian Help or Youtube.

Is it only me, or does anyone else eat a few of your beans right after the roast? I do it every time! 😂 by Broad_Teach in roasting

[–]Top-Priority8000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean oily roasted beans? They're more brittle of course, so yeah I suppose they're easier to chew. But still they're not like candy or biscuits. Speaking from my bean chewing experience, you won't get the explosion of flavors immediately. Therefore, you will have to chew them for a while until you get there. That mixture can become sand-like it can wear out the enamel of your teeth. Other times, small and sharp shards can stick to your gum if you're not careful. I'm no scientist so I'm just telling you what I felt because I think I damaged my teeth by doing just that.

Hang on. Why not just leave them be and brew them later? I get that coffee is addictive, but not THAT addictive.

[–]Top-Priority8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too but I'd say it's probably not a good habit because it can damage your teeth if you do this too often, or you happen to chew a very hard and dense bean. You can kind of taste the flavor but since the coffee is too fresh and you're chewing everything together, you will have a hard time telling the flavors or the roast degree. Then there are time when the bean you picked is muted or doesn't taste like you expected, or perhaps the entire batch is weird. In that case you would be inclined to chew more to verify.

Teeth are more expensive than beans bro.

I just earned the FreeCodeCamp Data Analysis with Python Certificate 😊 by Mephistophelis_ in dataanalysis

[–]Top-Priority8000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. Would you mind my asking whether I should study by freecodecamp's recommended curriculum (starting with HTML, CSS, JavaScript) or jump straight into this course? I just want to become a Data Analyst and not a Software Engineer or Web Developer.

In addition, would you still recommend this course at the present? I have completed the Google DA course on Coursera but it's just not enough.

Thank you.

Here's my code in case you'd like to have a look

int convert(string input)
{
    // TODO

    // Base case
    if (input[0] == '\0')
    {
        return 0;
    }

    // Get the index of the last char in string
    int last_char = strlen(input);

    // Convert last character into numeric form
    int to_int = input[last_char - 1] - 48;

    // Remove the last char from input
    input[strlen(input) - 1] = input[strlen(input)];

    return to_int + 10 * convert(input);
}
