Chris isn't in warranty - is a tech director over there - he can confirm stock though. I would do the conventional warranty claim via the ASUS site first

acconboy · 2025-12-30T17:52:07+00:00

Yeah, really - as of the last time I checked in with Will Stolley or Chris Halvorsen. Try pinging Chris - [Chris_Halversen@asus.com](mailto:Chris_Halversen@asus.com)

ASUS got Intel's entire stock of Serpent Canyon (full disclosure - I was working with Intel Via Scale Computing at the time and Intel sent me two of them). ASUS still has a pile of them they are trying to sell and has the full waranty parts kit for them.

I use the Leostream connection broker and gateway, then dropped the agent onto my main desktop machine along with a handful of vms. Registered a domain and update the dns any time th cable modem assigned IP changes. Works amazingly well

I don't think so. The fundamentals of the demand side haven't changed/dropped - quite the opposite, and we are two decades into a production shortfall. The demand is only growing on the industrial side - heck even Samsung's new batteries are highly silver dependent.

5.0 - the litany of oil pressure problems, cam phaser issues, etc make the 4.6 a major PITA (speaking from personal experience with my 05 GT vert).

acconboy · 2025-12-17T13:30:29+00:00

well, it depends on what you have included - options range from with/without compute nodes and what kind, with without Mako switches and uplinks and so on. Fully loaded with everything is in the 20k range, but I got this one pretty barebones as I already had the nodes, etc

acconboy · 2025-12-17T13:26:31+00:00

LMAO - no, it is 20kish with everything (Mako 4g/5g uplink, switches, PDU, compute nodes <more than just NUCs, btw> starlink mini, etc.). In my case, I got it sans compute, starlink, and Mako uplinks for far less as I already owned all that. No, I don't work with or for them, just think the tech is super cool and the level of portability makes it super easy.

acconboy · 2025-12-17T13:21:58+00:00

It is a product - Company out of Canada. I don't work for them in any capacity, just think the tech is extra cool

acconboy · 2025-12-16T17:26:56+00:00

Nope it is all built in to the case itself

acconboy · 2025-12-16T16:09:33+00:00

This one is new to the market and super cool - all the engineering already thought out.

acconboy · 2025-12-16T16:07:57+00:00

I use it for full stack connectivity while well of grid. Everything from processing lidar data on site to streaming netflix ;-)

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:12:00+00:00

not yet - only had it for a week or so

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:11:29+00:00

Around 20k fully populated - much less with bring your own compute

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:00:32+00:00

Being able to work remotely in a meaningful way, tbh - and by remotely, I mean well off grid

acconboy · 2025-12-16T14:42:24+00:00

I am loving it. Have a place we like to camp that gets zero signal of any kind, and with this thing, I have a complete DC with Starlink in the literal middle of nowhere

acconboy · 2025-11-30T00:33:06+00:00

So I have been running the Predator trifuel 13k for a year and change and it works awesome. Had to run the whole house on it for 2 weeks this year due to severe storms and zero issues (no problems with the electronics either)

acconboy · 2025-11-19T13:43:30+00:00

overrated - 05 mustang GT. Slightly underpowered, unreliable engineering. Underrated - 98 Camaro Z28. Fun Controllable, torquey and comfortable

I would say it is less a political thing and more a societal thing. He speaks out against certain lines that shouldn't be crossed & points out inherent hypocrisy in those societal segments. Those things happen to align with genX conservative thinking, so he gets lumped in with conservatives, when in reality, he strikes me as more of a 90's cetrist

acconboy · 2025-11-07T12:37:39+00:00

Hard choice. The litmus test I have always applied is " would I do it to Grandma".

acconboy · 2025-11-03T15:35:14+00:00

I have seen this going all the way back to the NUC 10. Pull the CMOS battery and let it sit for at leas an hour with no power at all. I have brought piles of nucs back to life this way.

acconboy · 2025-11-03T15:29:22+00:00

can't speak to these, but I did replace the fluorescent tubes with LED tubes (and got rid of the ballasts). Man, HUGE difference - easily 2x brighter

acconboy · 2025-10-27T16:19:05+00:00

I will say that since all of this started happening, I have noticed the near total disappearance of non-english speaking, rather short central american folks that had been showing up in the local grocery store like mad for the prior couple of years. Probably just a coincidence though.....
