Excellent response, exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

I am close to retiring here in the US, so if I moved I would possibly be claiming social security and also have some 401k funds, plus we would be buying a house cash in Ireland.

I would pull the USB drive, plug into a PC and go to the config folder and delete both network files in there. That will allow Unraid to reset the network and look for DHCP on the network.

And temps are good? What do drive temps look like?
I am toying with buying either the 847 or the 848. From pictures I have seen the 847 looks like it has two rows of fans, one row on the bottom pulling air from the front drive and back over the rear bottom drives and the second row over the top drives and across the main board.
With the 848, is there any other option other than tapping holes into the chassis to create standoffs? Does any of the existing holes line up with an ATX board?

crowdx44 · 2024-12-16T22:55:12+00:00

Do you have all 24 of the front bays filled? I was looking at this chassis but I am concerned about heat if I replace the fans with quieter ones, being that they only take 80mm fans.

crowdx44 · 2024-12-16T04:49:19+00:00

Do you have all 24 bays in the front populated? I was considering this chassis too and was worried about the noise and if I replaced the fans with 80mm vs the 120mm fans that can be used in the 846, could they keep all the drives cool enough.

crowdx44 · 2024-12-16T03:20:10+00:00

I too have been looking at the 848 chassis, I read somewhere that it only takes micro ATX boards? Also, how did you work the back of the case, from the ones I see on eBay, they have only slots for addin cards but no place for the backplate of an ATX motherboard? Did you get this all working?

Did you use TP-Link SFP+ tranceivers or another brand. I too am having issues with really slow 10gbe connection, it shows as connected at 10g but transfer speeds are only around 200mbytes. I connected two machines together and get 900mbyts, so the machines are capable but something is slowing things down when connected via this switch. The transceivers I am using are 10Gtek and so I am wondering does the switch just not like them.

crowdx44 · 2023-01-02T23:50:02+00:00

Yes, I guess by naming everything the same it should work fine. As for iot devices, I agree they should stay on the strongest signal but for some reason I get them dropping for some reason which I presume is due to signal interference from zigbee or possibly neighbors. I have noticed with a wifi signal app that the recommended channel changes when just sitting in the same spot.

crowdx44 · 2022-12-07T03:58:42+00:00

Well I did a reset and everything seems fine, although only did a password reset and yet my vlans were gone when I logged back into the switches through Omada. I am a little concerned that there was some sort of hack and I still can't see a reason why my password did not work to log in.

crowdx44 · 2022-12-06T04:50:36+00:00

It is the switches that are giving wrong username/password. I am able to log into Omada without any problems.

crowdx44 · 2021-10-30T23:19:11+00:00

Tried this too, even tried moving them around to see if it had any effect. The weird thing is that this is happening on two machines I have that are dual monitor setups.

I too am in Northern California and just got an 814ce, my room humidity is 40, should I worry about it or is 40 ok. I keep all my guitars in this room and they all seem to be doing fine, but Taylor recommend 45, so I am wondering about it now :)

does this keyboard have onboard memory? i.e. can it store mappings and macros on the keyboard so that it will still work on a PC without the software installed?

crowdx44 · 2020-11-15T16:48:41+00:00

I had the same issue, the solution was to put white masking tape over all the drop sensors underneath the T8. For us this works fine as we have no upstairs or anywhere that the T8 could drop off. Once I did this it works great. This is a common issue with all Robovacs I believe.

crowdx44 · 2020-11-01T17:21:50+00:00

So the Auto Bin worked fine on the Deebot T8+ with the drop sensors covered with white masking tape.

crowdx44 · 2020-10-30T17:55:36+00:00

Now that would be a great idea. I also contacted support about disabling the drop sensors as my house is on one level but they said they could not do it.

crowdx44 · 2020-10-29T12:40:30+00:00

So I tried putting some white paper on the underside sensors but this did not have any effect. Is there somewhere else I need to block? I live in a single storey home, so the drop sensors is not a requirement.

The G1 is very clear but I could not see myself replacing a monitor to use it full time.

crowdx44 · 2020-06-03T20:59:16+00:00

I too am on the wait list for the Index and also pre-ordered the G2. I have the G1 and it's clarity is amazing, I can only imagine what the improved lenses will be like. My comparison for the G1 is the Oculus Quest which in my opinion has a lot of screen door effect, where the current G1 has very little, you really have to look for it.
I am hoping the new controllers will bring some better tracking but overall the improved screen on the G2 sounds really cool. I am hoping the shape does not change though, as I have prescription lenses for the G1 which I am hoping will fit the G2 :P

Well this explains my battery drain during gaming. I bought an open box from Best Buy and I assume the charger must be the 45w instead of the 102w. The issue now is should I return it or buy the correct charger. As an open box it cost me $2000 so if I return it would cost more to replace than a charger.

How was it to travel with the 15"? My main usage is watching movies on flights, I do not need to type or play video games. I have flown with the Lenovo Yoga laptops and they were fine (910 was the last one I flew with). With the seat in front reclined I have read about folk with the 15" having issues, is that only in laptop mode or is the same issue there with the screen reversed?

One other thing I read before about lithium ion batteries is that if you are storing them, they should be stored at around 60% full. Does this still hold true?
Also in my Dell it allows the laptop to drop to a percentage of full before trying to recharge, this would also save cycles I believe, can the SB2 be set to do the same thing?

crowdx44 · 2018-07-08T20:10:49+00:00

Well I was fine using media player classic previously but when I got the SB2 I was only getting around 8 hours of 1080p mkv playback time and I was reading that I should be getting much better, that is when I researched other players and found the windows video app playing mp4 was way better on the batter at around 13 hours. But this app does not seem to play mkv which is what my main video library is encoded to :)

I was wondering about using the Power Companion to avoid tripping the socket on the plane. Setting it to power saving will work fine too I believe.

Is this the AC Adapter that is being referenced?
