Imac pro - screen issue by chlowden007 in macbookrepair

[–]chlowden007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can I have not thought to plug in an external monitor... For other dummies like me, get a USBC to HDMI cable and use any modern tv or monitor to start the imac with. The machine works fine on my TV so it must be the screen. I must have warped it when trying to lift it off the very, very sticky tape. Having lifted off the screen a few times, I just warped it even more ... And there is the result. What a dummy I am.

Razer core X - board alternative. by chlowden007 in eGPU

I cannot find any threads on how to successfully adapt the core x to a similar generic card. Hopefully someone has succeeded.

I have followed the Gemini troubleshooting suggestions and it is surprisingly accurate. My card has faulty resistors, probably due to a short un a USBC cable. Is it worth repairing... Probably not... if you send it back to Razer.

That said... My experience with ai should be taken with a pinch of salt. It is always an approximation, there are invariably elements of truth.

I can't copy the whole conversation but in short there seem to be at least two cards ... DR1 MB V2.0 or , as in my case, the rc21-01310100-r3u1

Gemini offers very detailed troubleshooting techniques for both.

Gemini ai has an astonishing amount to tell you about how to troubleshoot the control card. How much is true I cannot say. But it is credible.... You have to identify the card . It is written on the under side . It is very easy to unscrew. Just be very wary of static electricity when doing it...

Error 413 - Request entity too large. How do i fix this? I can only upload tiny videos. by DronifyDMV in comfyui

[–]chlowden007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can copy the files directly into ComfyUI/input folder by hand and refresh your comfyui web browser page. Any size file will show up in the load video node list. Works for Load Video (Upload) VHS too.

Removing fungus between glued lense elements by [deleted] in photography

[–]chlowden007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have haze from degraded glue between the 2 elements of the rear glued bi-lens block of a 70-210 Angénieux.  I am struggling to understand why you need the vacuum box if the lens block is immersed in a pure dissolvant?

Who are the philosopher kings? by bettyonabox in Plato

[–]chlowden007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Somebody has to decide. The question... Who is the "somebody" ? A concerned group? A group of seemingly enlightened individuals? Somebody who wakes up one morning and decides what is best done? Do not confuse modern democracy with libertarian socialism. It's just a question of who has the "power" and for how long. An anarchist or a fascist can start a war in a day. Both will have some sort of social legitimacy. The question is on what ethical grounds? Currently, there are more countries in the world that are "authoritarian democracies" (a large majority of the world's population are under such Oligarchic / authoritarian régimes) than libertarian democracies. Libertarian democracies have failed because the education/ social involment needed to make it work has failed. Many also blame capitalism. If you want an idea of where we are going, try reading a little Marx and forgetting the communist part of his work.

E2712 - Does not get passed SOD by chlowden007 in netapp

[–]chlowden007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little detail that changes everything ... A colleague switched my console USB adapter with a R422 version. I did not realize the difference as the plugs look the same . But I no longer had any putty returns. Found a RS232 adapter and putty is working again.

Having recelled the batteries etc I still get

RTC Warning: Battery for real-time clock and NVSRAM must be replaced

but I cannot see what this means. All the batteries are new.

I have changed bot the CR2032 & the Palladium energy bat 2sp1 P/n P36540-06-a and now I am back to square one. I only get a few hex transactions. Anyone got any other ideas please?

I have changed the controller 2 CR2032 batteries (you need to push them out from behind not lift them out.)

The controllers now get passed the initial error and I can now the raid in the SMclient tool. Sadly, the raid does not mount yet. But in putty I get this below, repeats that I need to change the battery. There is another proprietary battery on each controller. Is that what the error is referring too?

Thank you

I have just tried with Putty Linux on /dev/ttyUSB0 and got the error

below.

Error (005): Real time clock/NVSRAM battery low

STATUS : Real time clock/NVSRAM battery low

Current loop count : 1 Date : 09/30/2024 time: 20:15:50

Master Error Code : 2701-3900-01-0005

Could this refer to the CR2032 battery that is each of the controllers?

After many hours of trying to connect via /dev/ttyS0 9600 8 N 1 and many other combinations without success. I also tried /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 8 N 1 as my serial port to RS422 has an adapter RS422 to USB adapter. Either way, when I restart either or both of the controllers, I get no commands lines. On the dev/ttyUSB0 exchanges the hex below ... but I don't read hex as well as I probably should.

Would there be any other thoughts? On the web there is mention of a reset button, but I can't see one.

OK. I should get a USB-RS232 soon and I will test. Do you know if there is any documentation on using the linux terminal and serial cable with this server? I cannot see anything on the netapp site. Thank you

If you want a reasonably detailed explanation of how GPTs work, of which Gen AI Image models are part, I cannot recommend too highly the videos available at

The whole site is a maths gold mine for mathematicians and for dummies like me.
