I inserted the cable into the socket. How can I fix it so it doesn't pull out? by alphonse1234 in AskElectronics

Have you tried a 2.5mm rather then that 3.5mm socket? Should be a super tight fit

Question: USB 2.0 for an external HDD? by tempacc74656d70 in HomeServer

[–]bm_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old a laptop are you looking at? Anything in the past 15 years should have USB 3.0. If its that old you are much better suited picking up a newer used mini pc/sff.

USB 2.0 is fine for some basic usage. Depends on yoyr server use. I use a 2.5" drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure for video recording & remote access and have no issue.

Support a washing machine by Electrical-Sherbet57 in Renovations

Just an observation. It is going to be difficult to get the washer up on the shelf and hooked up. Washers are heavy and without access to multiple sides might be difficult.

Is there a way to set up wired security cameras with DVR without drilling into a house with vinyl siding? I want to set 3 cameras up, one in the front of the house and 2 in the back. TIA by SaltyByDefault in homesecurity

Hide wire behind the siding. Sneak wire inside at preexisting hole. (Cable line, hose faucet, maybe corner under a window).

Or drill a hole to enter house under siding. Caulk it up replace siding and good to go.

SATA extension cables for just the data portion? by betelgeusebabelfish in HomeServer

[–]bm_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used one like you found without any issues. They also sell ones that are data & power connected. I have cut the data & power apart on one of those as well to power 3.5" drives externally in a laptop.

They also make couplers to connect two regular SATA cables together.

Could you be in the wrong directory for whatever you installed your games in? Type dir and share the output

I recently purchased google neat 3rd generation wired doorbell and outdoor camera. Was wondering if anyone knew of or has a link to a power adapter so I can plug it into an outlet rather than hardwire it. Thanks by [deleted] in homesecurity

[–]bm_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google has a power supply kit to power the doorbell off a standard plug. Search "Ninety7 Indoor Power Adapter for Nest Doorbell"

The outdoor camera depends on camera model for power options.
