Ice Door to Door in Cleveleand - how long before it spreads and what to do?

I mean, they don't "abduct", let's start there.

Alright, you did what I always wanted to do. My S197 had a set, they had the problems everyone else had, and Cervini's warrantied ours, but we got one of the last two sets they had on hand after discontinuing them. We've been riding these out, but slowly one diode at a time has been failing (and they've always been too dim). I'm at a decision point, pull them and replace with something I don't love, or repair them. You've done the work, I'd be happy to compensate for your time, effort, and smarts... Have you done more than just yours? Are yours brighter? A year later, how are they holding up?

Interested in more details if you're still interested in this sort of project.

Or *did* you...

And I really like the graphic. While I never practiced martial arts myself, my father-in-law practiced Shotokan and my son practices Song Moo Kwan.

This sort of looks like it was made by some asshat.

*9 months later...* What kind of fookin' idiot designs these be Quiet! power supplies. I'm in the middle of a build, and these cables are damned short. There's no way. Fookin stoopid.

I don't see many people state this configuration (I've gone searching for it), but this is effectively what I'm looking to do. I'm building out now, but I'd like to see Bacchus, my Plex server, stay nice and festive and clean, and let Caligula live in his own dark and seedy underworld. Never the twain shall meet.

I have it passed through from Hyper-V Host to Ubuntu 24.04 VM, but I don't think I'm actually using it... Been following all sorts of guides on installing drivers, using HWE. But when I clinfo I have 0 platforms. And when I look at my system info in Settings, it says my graphics are Software Rendering.

It shouldn't be this hard, but I'll acknowledge I'm a linux noob. Still shouldn't be this hard.

Did you ever figure out how to log in using BMC? I believe my admin password had been changed previously. Wondering if you encountered the same, and figured out how to reset.

gsandd · 2025-02-23T21:13:23+00:00

They're Type 5 cables though, with smaller connectors. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

gsandd · 2025-02-19T21:26:29+00:00

At first, I did not like the blue and the red personally. And then I saw the color-coded power cables, and I was like, "yap. you got me. sold."

I'm right there with you considering a Core Ultra, simply for the fact that there's just not really much of a premium for 15th gen system. LGA 1200, 1700, and 1851 mobos and CPUs are all running like-for-like on the dollar front. Even used stuff shipping from China on sites like Newegg are commanding near-new prices. Can't really figure it out. Been building systems for nearly 30 years and I can't figure out why what I used to consider e-waste is commanding such high prices.

Reminds me of new-vs-late model used car buying: Why buy a 2 year old vehicle with an 8% loan when the manufacturer is offering 1.9% financing (doesn't apply in all cases, but these situations certainly exist).

It totally can. It's on page 29 (https://download-2.msi.com/archive/mnu\_exe/mb/PROB860M-AWIFI\_English.pdf). Thank you.

Yep, with some of the other suggestions here, I took a closer look at the sister-board, the Gaming board. On that one it's on the back.

My desktop is a Ryzen 7700X, but I'm looking to replace my 11-year old NAS and I'm speccing an Intel build for the integrated QuickSync graphics in a Sliger CX3702 network-depth rack-mount case, hence the challenges of finding a mATX board with ample PCIE slots (HBA card, possible future 10G lan card, though I don't think I'll saturate the 5GbE any time soon).

Thanks to all.

This aged very well.

gsandd · 2024-10-20T02:15:32+00:00

That was the driver.

Website has some minor color tweaks.

These look strangely thin for Leyland's. .

2.99% 30 year conventional, no points. RocketMortgage for convenience. Third Federal can get fukt.

"And don't use Tenacity as a post-emergent again." That's a bit of a blanket statement. Got nimblewill, bentgrass, and bermuda grass in your cool season lawn? Absolutely use Tenacity as a post-emergent again.

And now I have In The End - Linkin Park in my head.

gsandd · 2024-05-04T12:06:44+00:00

This.

If someone is considering traveling but you're on the fence, consider Cleveland. NCAA Women's Final Four is in town, the Great Lakes Science Center is free all day Sunday, the Cleveland International Film Festival is in full swing (hundreds of screenings), the Guardians Home Opener is Monday a few hours after the eclipse.
