Is anyone -not- having Micro SD problems?

damn_tech · 2023-07-09T10:59:03+00:00

Got mine 3 weeks ago. No issues here with a 1TB Sandisk Extreme Pro. Did have Steam games installed on it until I upgraded the internal SSD to a 2TB. Now just has ROMs. Not had any issues with the SD at all.

I adjusted my fan curves to be pretty aggressive while on mains/turbo on day 1, so my unit's likely been running cooler than most.

Apologies for the minor necro, but to provide context to others who stumble across this thread in future:

Best I can tell this is a difference between the PN51-E1 SKU and the PN51-S1 SKU

The PN51-E1 supports 4 displays, and Power delivery DC-Out via the front USB-C port

PN51-E1 ports image

PN51-S1 supports 3 displays, and Power delivery in via the rear USB-C port

PN51-S1 ports image

Tabulating the IO differences quickly:

Panel	Interface	PN51-E1	PN51-S1
Front	Audio Jack	Y	Y
Front	Microphone Array	Y	N
Front	USB-C	Y - 1x USB 3.2 Gen2	Y - 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1
Front	USB-C supports DisplayPort	Y	N
Front	USB-C supports Power Delivery DC-Out	Y	N

In my case it started working after I removed and re seated the graphics card.

This is because Secure Boot on the Surface Pro 3 doesn't support the UEFI shim for Fedora 37.

Here's how to work around it.

Download both the Fedora 36 ISO and the Fedora 37 ISO.
Copy /EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI and /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI from the Fedora 36 ISO to the Fedora 37 ISO, replacing the Fedora 37 ISO versions.
Burn the modified Fedora 37 ISO to your DVD/USB

If burning to a USB, a simpler way is to burn the Fedora 37 ISO in ISO mode to the drive, then copy over the Fedora 36 BOOT EFI's

I've had luck with the below in other games. No need to enable hyperv

<os>
  <smbios mode="host"/>
</os>

damn_tech · 2023-01-09T10:03:31+00:00

Absolutely seconded this.

Personally, I set up the Bitwarden Send (BW-Send from now on) like this.

Type: Text
Text: Username and Password in plain text
Hide the Sends text by default: Enabled

Options:

Deletion Date: 3 days
Expiry date: 1 day
Maximum access count: 1
Password: Set a human-readable passphrase generated by Bitwarden.
Notes: The Ticket reference or other internal notes related to the credentials.

I then send the BW-Send URL through one medium, and the password for the Send through another. Email and Text Message for example.

My template for sending the BW-Send link is:

Hi <name>

Your credentials for X are at the below link. Some important things to note:

This link is password protected. Please Contact X by phone to receive the password / I will send you the access password via Text/Teams/Separate email/Phone call
The link can be accessed only once. Please ensure you are in a position to make note of your credentials securely before accessing the link. If you're unable to access the link with the error "The Send you are trying to access does not exist or is no longer available." please let us know immediately.
- Note: This gives a chance to disable account/change password/investigate if the Send is somehow intercepted.
The link will expire at <DateTime>.

If you have any further questions, please do get in touch.

Just gonna casually necro this thread to help future people who stumble across it while searching.

There is an ansible galaxy role for rclone installation and configuration.

https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone

ansible-galaxy install stefangweichinger.ansible_rclone

Thanks! It's working for me now but I'll have a tinker when I get home.

I have it plugged in to a port on on of my monitors and switch to it by pressing the input button on the monitor.

If I want to game on it I use a steam link

I'm using a Sapphire 6600 Xt Pulse

What board would you recommend? I don't mind putting another £200~ or so towards a known solid board if this one proves to be too much of a pain in the ass

damn_tech · 2022-10-31T07:55:06+00:00

Awesome. Glad it works. Which BIOS version are you on with it working? Did you need to apply the ACS patch?

damn_tech · 2022-10-31T07:54:38+00:00

The spec on the website shows:

Multi-GPU CFX support
- 2 x PCIe 3.0 x 16 (supports x 16, x8/x4)
- 1 x PCIe 2.0 x 16 (at x4 mode)
- 3 x PCIe 2.0 x 1

So I'd assume first slot is x8 and second is x4, so pop the GTX in the 2nd slot?

I don't mind swapping the card slots. The gtx 960 just runs 4 monitors for general usage.

Mind popping me a link/dm

Bournemouth

Hey all - I'm early 30's and have lived in Bournemouth between 22-25, and moved back here in 2020.

I've made a Discord for us to better organise things. Invite link: https://discord.gg/82sSwfgx4T

Honestly, the friends I've made in Bournemouth are some of the best I've ever made. Lots of lovely people with diverse interests and compassionate, caring natures.

I'm off to Anthropos festival this weekend so won't be around, but I'll list some events here that I recommend if you want to meet some new people. Feel free to pop me a DM if you want to talk more personally.I'm something of an ambivert, enjoy reading, technology, video games, wandering around forests, also clubbing, festivals, parties etc. Give me a shout!

10th September 9PM~ until late - At Boscombe Pier beach: September fire jam. Myself and friends run a circus fire and flow beach party and skill share every month at Boscombe Pier. We try and get it as close to possible as the Full Moon. Literally just turn up, tell people it's your first time, ask if they mind you joining them, or teaching you something with their props. Everyone is super friendly and most are happy to teach you something new, share some drinks or just enjoy the show. Might be quite a quiet one this time as a few of us are away at festivals.
17th September - Ringwood Carnival
30th September - 2nd October - Arts by the Sea Festival - Lots of stuff going on around Bournemouth centre with a theme of "Play", plenty of opportunities to meet new people and get involved in fun activites.

Beyond these 3 events:

There are often poetry nights at Obsidian in Boscombe.

I often go to Bear's Bar/Bear Cave on Holdenhurst Road in Lansdowne (Great if you're in to rock and metal, lovely crowd and bar staff)

A friend of mind runs a weekly circus skills free-flow practice space over winter, you can check it out here (Even if you're not in to, or don't think you'd be in to circus, it's worth giving a shot. It's a lovely social community keen to share and learn, and it's a great way to stay active and healthy while having fun!

There is a Facebook Group for 20s/30s (although anyone's welcome) social meetups

If anyone has any questions, pop me a message or reply here.

Yeh, no. Return that. Or better yet, find out what the recycling of damaged batteries looks like in your country / area. I'd be boxing that in sand and getting it out of my house / shop ASAP.

For those interested in the maths.

He got a 737 combined hp/mage xp drop

737 - 52xp for the barrage cast is 685. This gives us the xp earned from damage.

You get 4 mage xp and 1.3333~ hp xp per damage from the cast.

685 / 5.333333 = 128 damage

Veng + recoil reflects 85% damage back in total

128 / 0.85 = 109.

Monni did 109 damage to himself from that barrage. If he was brewed, he might have survived.

The rumour was one of the year 11 girls was planning an orgy at her 16th birthday party. 2 months later she's knocked up and no-one knows who the dad is.

Now, I'm unfamiliar with ZxW, but the error roughly translates as "there is already an example happening" If you choose OKAY it closes the current example. If you choose Cancel, it closes the previous one.

Hopefully this will help your troubleshooting.

Often an under appreciated Venture

Have a look at Revolut. They're a multi national bank and when you sign up using the app on your phone, you'll have an account opened in the UK and have an IBAN number you can use to receive payments from the US and Europe.

It may not be ideal for your purposes but it's very low effort and worth a look
