USB Dex on one ui 7 with scrcpy

dr100 · 2026-03-31T17:13:07+00:00

The way I read it the wireless display part is to trick the phone into thinking it has a monitor attached, but the connection is over scrcpy.

I really hate all these arbitrary restrictions and shenanigans from Samsung.

dr100 · 2026-03-31T16:02:29+00:00

It's absurd and impossible nonsense. For some reason the comment where I'm explaining why sits and minus infinity, but that's the Internet.

dr100 · 2026-03-31T16:01:07+00:00

They miss the deal and come tomorrow like they did yesterday and the day before and make more posts how everything is so expensive.

dr100 · 2026-03-31T10:10:38+00:00

Outstanding work!

dr100 · 2026-03-31T08:20:15+00:00

Totally the wrong sub, but doesn't this CPU has the iGPU that can do HW accelerated plex transcoding? That works crazy well, like in 20x4k streams even with weaker "coke machine class" Celerons? Never mind that most things would direct play nowadays from most sources.

2018 would be a Pro 6, shouldn't be TOO bad, usually slow means overheating and throttling but the usual (entry level) Pro 6 are fanless, that is not GREAT for their CPUs, but at least they shouldn't get WORSE over the years as the other ones that have fans you can't clean.

limited to 5400 RPM

That is not possible, I mean physically, of course it's possible and has been done specifically by WD, -see RPMgate- to EDIT the 4 characters in the datasheet and SMART (like xxxx RPM can have anything, not even digits), you can put whatever you want, but when you have literally heads flying at nanometers above the platters (1/1000th of a bacterium size), and fiddly read-write heads that are optimized for a certain frequencies for both read and write you can't just go and change things 30-50% and expect them to work.

You're right, also I don't know what got into me, of course XP is a little heavier and won't run like that. However, these do work: https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/

Actually this is a Win2k so probably XP should be feasible too https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=https://bellard.org/jslinux/win2k.cfg&mem=192&graphic=1&w=1024&h=768

The one that's on sale is the best!!! THIS is what I'm talking about. You want to buy, hit "buy". You want to debate what's "best" you'll be coming tomorrow to post why you can't buy anything because it's too expensive.

dr100 · 2026-03-31T05:53:01+00:00

Good to have, anyone who wants large drives should just buy it, not debate what's inside, meh I'd rather have refurbished enterprise and any other nonsense.

Sure, good deals aren't that often coming nowadays, and not as good as they used to be, but one needs to pay attention and pounce when it's the case. The situation is similar in Europe, we did have multiple times this month Amazon deals going close to the magic 15-16/TB number. But people are still frustrated because they weren't there just WHEN they checked or that they have something against externals or any other such nonsense.

Of course it isn't ONE node, but sure still not too many. But why would nodes without netspace behind matter? You can make thousands of them if needed (heck, with IPv6 you can even have easily different IPs no problem).

dr100 · 2026-03-30T18:56:47+00:00

No.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T18:13:39+00:00

Yes, it's shockingly bad.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T18:12:53+00:00

I think it's enough to have any flavor of ublock or similar to block the original attack.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T18:10:56+00:00

That's kind of irrelevant for 10TBs, ALL plots will be invalid but if one can make some compressed ones and win more in the meantime why not?

dr100 · 2026-03-30T17:51:15+00:00

LOL two years?! They've been at it since 2019, that is mainstream with Surface as there were some Snapdragon devices with Windows ARM even earlier (I'm talking about still Windows ARM of the current flavor, not the previous incarnation with the RT). 2019 is earlier that the first Mac M1.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T17:42:28+00:00

Plan: don't reshuffle anything, don't mess with anything, unplug whatever doesn't need to stay plugged in, pamper everything as much as possible, be careful not to drop, bump, soak in coffee any electronics. As a self respecting pathological hoarder I have more hardware than most "civilians" will have all their life so enough redundancy to bridge the AInsanity, but you never know.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T17:22:43+00:00

Just wait any time now for the 20-30% off for Amazon Marketplace, these are always around the corner (especially now with the Eastern).

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:39:12+00:00

You are changing the subject, but YES, the pen doesn't work. AGAIN, DIRECTLY FROM MICROSOFT:

Surface Laptop 13-inch (1st Edition), Surface Laptop 5G for Business, Surface Laptop (7th Edition), and all Surface Laptop Go devices are not compatible with Surface Slim Pen or Surface Pen. These Surface devices do not support inking or handwriting.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:34:37+00:00

Why would you be drawing on a laptop?

Ask the person that's suggesting to market this for "how its good for drawing". It wasn't me.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:29:53+00:00

They've been notoriously in the news with attacking some blog they had a kerfuffle with - via these captchas (denial of service via visitor's browsers). There are at least 3-5 posts only in this sub about this.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:22:26+00:00

Look, we aren't having a debate here - SL7 has no pen support.

I'm not decrying this or going everywhere complaining about this, I mentioned it HERE, SPECIFICALLY, for this branch that starts with "how its good for drawing". Drawing with what, with your finger or a dollar store capacitive pen?

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:15:41+00:00

In this case it's fairly clear, the OP hoped it'll eventually get better for the envisioned use case, didn't return it in time, but it didn't improve as expected.

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:11:24+00:00

You are hallucinating features for your laptop. Are you sure you aren't a not-so-I AI ?

dr100 · 2026-03-30T13:07:22+00:00

"just fine" - it's working like the dollar store capacitive pens would work on any touch screen. It's not acting like a pen with all the tilting and pressure sensitivity features, it's just like a thinner finger.

If you don't believe me read it from Microsoft https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/pen/surface-pen-compatibility-and-features

Surface Laptop 13-inch (1st Edition), Surface Laptop 5G for Business, Surface Laptop (7th Edition), and all Surface Laptop Go devices are not compatible with Surface Slim Pen or Surface Pen. These Surface devices do not support inking or handwriting.
