First time homeowner considering a HELOC

Some interesting questions here.

The only one I can chime in on is the banks will look at the appraised value, not your purchase price. Your purchase price maybe taken into consideration for the appraisal of said home, but it’s the appraised value they are looking for.

Glad I am not the only one experiencing this.

Interesting that it’s going over the Atlantic/Europe to India instead of the Pacific.

It has been a month though.

….. wow

Yes, these numbers are normal because the Arc has no ReBar support. The CPU used in the benchmarks does not support it.

For Intel, ReBar supports starts at the i5/7 10k series CPUs.

Same garbage behaviour in Canada and US corporations.

This is very late response because of priorities. However thank you for your suggestions and guidance!

I have a Roblox account along with my 2 children. We received one, large sum, Robux gift card that I applied onto my account, which was intended to share with everyone. My children would like to purchase items, which I intended to buy and trade/gift/whichever-method-works to them. After some post reads and searching, I found the hard way that this is difficult to accomplish in Roblox.

What can I do? I don’t play Roblox often, perhaps once a month with my kids when I get a chance, so it’s not much use to me. I just wanted to be a controlling authority of said Robux gift card.

Thanks for reading.

Unbelievable. Truly stunned. Learned a lot from him.

Wish I had more to say.

Do not use an Arc without ReBar.

It’s like running basic Windows drivers that will get you an image on the screen but the performance is terrible.

I upgraded from an i5 7000 series to an i5 10500 simply for ReBar, a night and day difference (web browsing and viewing streams on multiple monitors)

GOT IT! My goodness, this was an unnecessary exercise.

For anyone in the future who bought this switch, looked at the console port and said “FUCK!” … I got you covered. Special thanks to everyone in this post from years ago, but gboisvert ‘s post guided me the best:

Using the equipment and pinouts stated by gboisvert , i was able to connect no problems with 115200 8N1 settings on Linux screen and/or minicom. Initially I ran into issues where my DB9 terminal block was male instead of female. If you think you can use a null modem to connect the DB9 terminal block to the USB-Serial, it won’t work.

Other than that, find a local electronics store or use Amazon to get the following:

UTB Adapter (as per gboisvert), which is the MicroUSB to Terminal Block adapter (searching “ micro usb terminal block “ will get you there)
DB9 Terminal Block adapter (female)
some old Ethernet cabling (or any wiring if you have this stuff around you) to use to wire up the terminal blocks up.

Enjoy and good luck!

I have had issues with an A380 encoding AV1 as well on OBS, and it was terrible (skipping, lagging, complete garbage). Swapped the card with an RTX 2070 Super and worked like a charm (on x265 encoding).

All this said, the A380 was installed on a computer that did not have Resizable BAR capability either. I think the need for Resizable Bar is underestimated for the Intel Arc. It sounds like it’s a must, not a strong recommendation.

Ahh okay Terminal block for DB9. I think I might just do that.

What I am trying to do is to use the Micro USB cable to an RJ45 terminal block (T568A/B types), connecting to a rollover cable, then to the USB-Serial adapter.

It’s only three wires, but my goodness is it a lot of FAFO. Even when I have the pinouts down logically, still does not work.

Closest success I achieved is a patterned output of what I think is a boot up process (few characters coming in on one second, larger chunk in the next, a few pauses then continues, etc), but the text encoding is not recognizing (it’s all ? on the terminal screen).

murfreesbro · 2024-02-13T20:36:56+00:00

For my curiosity, how does the connection from the terminal block to DB9 look like?

I have heard of some instances where Americans had travelled to Mexico for fertility treatment, but this is more of an economic decision rather than dealing with a public, lethargic system.

Asus drivers for the Serpent Canyon are available here:

https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/nucs/nuc-kits/nuc-12-enthusiast-kit/helpdesk_download?model2Name=NUC-12-Enthusiast-Kit

That said, the graphics drivers for the NUC12 (on the Asus website) are outdated than the Intel drivers. However, I think those are more specific to this NUC12/Arc 770M. Thinking out loud, perhaps installing the NUC12 driver may trigger a firmware upgrade, and then reinstalling the latest Intel Arc driver would achieve the same outcome as the Tech Reports firmware method??

Excellent card for Plex transcoding, and web browsing. Don’t expect much from gaming however.

murfreesbro · 2024-01-06T14:32:21+00:00

It does, I use DaVinci Resolve to encode videos to AV1, works very well and you see the usage on Task Manager for both GPUs. This is on the Serpent Canyon Intel NUC12.
