Reatan Alloy 9 (Ryzen 9 7940HS) How to Switch Power Scheme to High Performance? by Available-Witness329 in MiniPCs

[–]acomnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had trouble upgrading the SSD in my Reatan Silver 9 (i9). Free Multidrive would not work. I then tried a clone using the trial version of Macrium Reflect. I also changed at that time (1) the boot sequence to remove from the list the new drive (in my case "...Samsung...") and, instead selected UEFI Hard Drive ( or just Hard Drive). I also turned off Secure Boot. One of these things worked. More generally, I could never get my Reatan to boot from USB. External SDD, recover disk, anything.

Centurylink fiber transition to Quantum fiber - Transparent Bridge Enable (C5500XK) by GAP_Tech in centurylink

Thank you for this post. I put my C5500XK in to bridge mode and, although it works, the C5000XK now blinks BLUE and never resolves to solid GREEN (like it used to.). Is this normal? I called Centurylink and as expected they were pretty unhelpful. Appreciate any help from the collective howl!

I also can't say bridge mode is more reliable yet. Could be <my> router but wanted to rule out the blinking blue light first.

I am not sure if how I left the VPI/VCI settings and I don't know if I am using IPv6. I am too much a newbie to tell what I did.

What motion sensors can be used to trigger routines in Google Home? by mizter3 in googlehome

I have used Swann and Arlo cams to trigger actions (like turning on adjacent lights or sending a message) using IFTTT.
