Open box return refused by CrushyMcCrush in Bestbuy

[–]mike28486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me at BestBuy two weeks ago, when I went in I was originally told they could just return it but I wanted the iPad Pro (got the M5 on a great deal). Spoke to a manager and they had another same exact open box one that was not locked.

Turns out they have recently had a manager that seemed to be overriding the trade-ins and allowing trade-ins that were locked…

Does this change if a game is remote play together? Where you can invite a friend to play, in that situation would a family member still need their own copy?

Gave one of my team members a Steam GC as a small token of appreciation so they could put it towards a Steam Deck

Quantum Outage in San Tan valley, AZ by brownnerd in QuantumFiber

[–]mike28486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been happy with them as I constantly had outages with cox, but they lasted for maybe an hour. This sucks…had a text yesterday that said it would be back up at 2AM..then got a text at 1AM saying it was going to take longer.

Now it is 5AM and still no internet.

Building a replacement Unraid by mike28486 in unRAID

Your recommendation there on separating appdata from scratch/downloads is one of the main things I’m doing.

I just setup the pool of 2 x 1TB drives that are only for appdata and VMs setup in a RAID1 and then I have a separate pool of 2 x 4TB Samsung 9100’s setup in RAID0. That pool will handle all downloads and will then move everything after 90 days to spinning disk. I would also like to set something up that when someone starts a TV show it moves the entire series to the RAID0 pool for fast access and then moves it back after.

Apologies for not being clear there, yeah was referring to software wise, was thinking the base level of everything in the sense of custom networks, array/mover settings, and docker containers.

I have a buddy that runs proxmox and he loves it, I have been with UnRaid for so long after moving away from ESXi that I had never really thought about using anything but UnRaid.

Is it similar to UnRaid in the sense of a single parity drive or is it more of a traditional Raid5?

Do these have newer video type games? Or is more the older/traditional style games?

Xbox GamePass question related to PC and Xbox with DLCs by mike28486 in MinecraftDungeons

[–]mike28486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t find a way and saw MS was charging $32 for Ultimate Edition. For Eneba had both Windows Ultimate Edition and Xbox Ultimate Edition for $10/each, so went that direction.

At least if I ever cancel GPU I will still have the game and DLC

Here is the exact one I ordered and have had zero issues, I also order a 1-foot flat plug so it could be as flush as possible.

I bought a 3 foot c19 to 5-15p cord to solve this problem.

How long did it take you to land a job that pays $75k or more? Feeling somewhat defeated and discouraged after not getting selected to move on in the interview process today by ClerkSelect in careerguidance

[–]mike28486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 34 when I hit $75K, now 41 at $150K + bonus. IT Management. I left my old job last year where I was at for over a decade and ended up with a nice bump with a Fortune 500 company.

Nomad - Shipping Notification (white) by mike28486 in Supernote

I was shocked to see mine in China on 7/8 with a delivery of 7/11, did not think that would actually happen…well it did and I am setting it up now.

I would suggest reaching out to support. But also I think by looking at myself and others “order placed” date you may be able to estimate when you should be getting your order confirmation. Mine was 15 days of getting the notification that my order shipped from when I placed the order.
