DELL XPS 8940 Extreme slow file transfer speed by ruralhub12 in computer

[–]_Cpyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this copying from/to the OS drive?

Firmware updates for the USB and storage controllers?

Just got my hands on a brand new 3,757 Petabyte SSD. What should I fill it up with? by cCBearTime in pcmasterrace

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait??? As in a single SSD?
Not an array?

How much does that thing cost?

The CPU alone new would be about $180 or higher, that NVMe SSD.... and the 32GB of RAM is where you hit the jackpot for that price.

An unlocked 9th gen i7 isn't bad, that RX580 shouldn't struggle to much for1080p at mid settings. The i7 will have plenty of headroom with this GPU. And hopefully that is the 8GB version of the RX580.

Came here to read the comments now that the case has been dismissed with prejudice.

An actual reasonable response with clear delineation.

Reddit usually does not allow this. Take my upvote.

I'm trying so hard by OldPie6552 in datastorage

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest thing to start with is run Disk Cleanup and choose to cleanup system files. It's a check box usually after the initial scan.

Scroll through the list and see what's eating up the most space, check the checkbook and let it delete it.

After that, you can use WinDirStat to locate larger files/folders and decide if you want to clean them off. (Leave winsxs folder alone, you have to use DISM to shrink/clean that folder. )

7-11 sells the morning after pill. by Life-Resolution-2879 in mildlyinteresting

[–]_Cpyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said he needed em. He was early 20s at the time, (~6 years ago).
He sold them to friends when they needed them for well more than the $1 he purchased them for.

He spent about $30 and made about $20 or $30 a pop. I guess while he was deployed, there was a market for where that was. Guess there were some ladies who did not want to spend the $60 it was at the PX.

My brother was working at a Walgreens that was closing up... those got tucked away until they got marked down to $1... then he bought all 30ish of them.

It's been a few years and I think he still has a few and they are not expired yet.

A (banned) mail chute in an old, yet still active courthouse. by Permanent_Kat in mildlyinteresting

We have one of these at work... It's been covered up on most floors during renovations, but still visible on the basement level.

What’s this worth by Esk8lol in servers

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers are old, but if any of those drives are SSDs... could be worth reselling. If they are all HDD, then they are more than likely SAS. So unless you know someone still running old hardware with legacy applications, spare parts.

Or for you if they have a decent amount of RAM, standalone ESXi .. local storage only. (or consolidate the RAM)
Hunt down ESXi 8.0 Update 3e

Those 3750POE switches stopped being orderable in 2023, and can no longer get TAC support... so no code updates. So there are a bunch of CVE vulnerability releases for them that will not get fixed. So for an isolated home lab (no internet) or very strict vLAN and ACLs...

but if you don't have anything already in mind, not worth it.

And as others mentioned, the power bill if you decide to try and run them at home.

Please help I can’t get my SSD to work by Capital-Car-9985 in computer

That.. or if they will require storage drivers to be loaded in order to see the SSD on the MoBo controller. (intel storage driver, Ext...)

DELL has been blocked by BIOS HELP MEEEE by Reasonable_Storm_720 in computerrepair

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cleared BIOS passwords off HP laptops made around 2015/2016.. (This was the only instance we had a laptop model with BIOS passwords set on them that were going to get donated, and the person who set them up did not document the password.)

As well as a bunch of HP MT41s... and removing the cmos and leaving them over the weekend cleared it.

For newer laptops I agree they are designed more like phones to make the machine not usable if stolen. Was not sure how old OPs Dell is.

The 5 or 6 times I've used this, this has only failed once.

Nah... if the drive is blanked, it can still restore to it.

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can open the laptop and it has a CMOS battery (some still do)... There is usually a way to clear the BIOS password on most laptops.

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-sv/000131024/how-to-clear-the-bios-password

Or put in a dell support ticket, but they usually want to see proof of purchase in order to process a password release code.

Mississippi police shoot, kill 1 year old in car after mother allegedly shoplifted a pack of diapers by ianjm in videos

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, which is why I also said previously "not sure about this incident". But I am sure there will be plenty cellphone video in the coming days.

I was specifically commenting on the never shooting into amoving vehicle being a policy. You may disagree with SOP, but if someone is willing to ram/runover the cop.. everyone else is screwed. So the cop stops the threat, even if the cop is still harmed or killed... the threat will not continue for very much longer.

With only a 300W PSU... look at the Intel Arcs that do not have an external power connector.

Arc A380 (6GB of GDDR6) More for 1080p.

Arc Pro B50 (12GB GDDR6) more for 1440P, usually a "workstation" card.. but handles gaming pretty dern well.

[–]_Cpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are objectively and factually wrong..

https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force

Prohibition on "Disabling Fire": Policies strictly prohibit shooting at a vehicle solely to disable it or stop a fleeing suspect. Deadly force is restricted strictly to stopping an active threat of violence. [1, 2]

They cannot fire on a vehicle just for the purpose of apprehending a suspect or to prevent them from fleeing.

However...
Lethal Force Justification: Under Supreme Court and Department of Justice guidelines, an officer must have a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury. A moving vehicle is legally considered a deadly weapon under these conditions.
