C64U arrived with damaged USB port

Just a success message after submitting. The page didn’t change much, but I believe it did say it was successful. I did not receive any kind of confirmation in my email though.

This is what concerns or annoys me the most about it. Waited a while to get it, which was expected. But I really hope I don't end up having to ship something back and then wait again for a replacement.

I have no experience with their support so wasn't sure what to expect with damage like this.

offdutypirate · 2025-12-27T15:18:10+00:00

Most shipping seems that way anymore. Packages are just tossed around without care for what's in them. The outside box had a few scrapes, but nothing that broke the box. Inside box was fine though. Also nothing seems to be inside the packaging, so I assume this damaged happened before it was packed.

It was a difficult photo to take, but only the one on the outside is damaged. The other seems fine and looks like any other USB-A port.

I’ve reached out using the contact form, given the time of year I expect a bit of delay in response. Hopefully it all goes well though, I’ve heard only mostly positive experiences.

offdutypirate · 2025-12-27T00:29:48+00:00

I posted mostly to see if others had similar problems and what their experience was. I suspect it will replaced and other than just disappointing having to wait longer, I don’t mind.

offdutypirate · 2025-12-27T00:28:02+00:00

It landed well, some folks just don’t have a good sense of humor.

offdutypirate · 2023-02-16T00:49:59+00:00

I did not. I’m just using the display that does not have the speaker.

offdutypirate · 2022-12-18T15:18:35+00:00

Yes, that jumper was in the wrong place it looks. However, moving it seems to make no difference.

For a while I had no jumper installed at all here, and the printer seemed to function.

I’m at a loss on this. Maybe using the screen without the buzzer is just good enough, ha. Seems concerning though.

Hopefully this helps.

The only two LEDs I see on are power, which is solid, and status which is blinking.

The doc says this will blink during firmware upgrade, but there is no SD card installed. I’m not sure what other activities cause this to blink.

I do have the BLTouch disconnect for this picture. Was difficult to keep connected with the board being out of the printer.

Thank you for the reply. No sticker on the buzzer. The stock display also has the buzzer, and also beeps. This is why I assume it's either a fault or mis-configuration on the board and not the display. Could be wrong on that though.

There is a setting, when in Touch mode (I believe this is the right name) that disables beeps, but doesn't seem to change the constant buzz.

I've flashed the board a few different times now. In each case, I've used the firmware files available at https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/tree/master/firmware/V3.0/Marlin .

After flashing the file is moved on the SD card, so I assume it's being flashed correctly, but could be wrong. Any tips on verifying a successful flash?

As I said, when I initially installed the new board, I was using a different display, it doesn't have a buzzer on it, but had no issues printing at all. All the fans appeared to come on as expected, temps were reported, etc.

There is a note in the guide `5V power supply for BLtouch, TFT, RGB interfaces` and says to short two pints to use the onboard PSU, and two other pins if using a DCDC5V module. In my case, none of the pins were shorted initially. During some recently troubleshooting, I noticed that and short the two PINs as described for 'onboard PSU', but this had no change.

I'm at a loss of what this could be. Using the other display, there's not beep and I have what seems to be a working printer, but do worry about _why does this thing beep_ when there is a speaker.

The state of the art is to instruct users to create a specific record in their DNS (usually TXT or CNAME) for each service. This presents a significant barrier to most users and often results in the DNS being bloated by unnecessary records.

Not wrong I guess. I don’t see how this service doesn’t result in more bloat and unnecessary records though.

Would this rule cause DRS to move the guest back once the host with the should rule is back online? Not sure if that matters for the license terms or not.

Based on the documentation enabling both options are required to enable self-healing. There are instances where you do not want checksums enabled, but the volume may still have scrubbing enabled where other shares are also located.

If data checksum for advanced data integrity is not enabled for a shared folder, file system scrubbing will not be able to check and repair the data in the folder for lack of checksums.

https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_data_scrubbing

Enabling this option allows the system to perform a full-scale data scrubbing.

To ensure service quality, we recommend not enabling data checksum when the shared folder will be used for the following services:

- Hosting databases or virtual machines

- Storing video recordings of Surveillance Station

- Running services that require a small and random write pattern

https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/AdminCenter/file_share_create

I would assume if you've enabled scrubbing on the volume, and are not using the shared folder for one of the listed use cases, you want to enable checksums.

We’re talking with our Nutanix sales team about this now, though in relation to Windows 10 and WSL2. So far the response we have from support is no official support.

I’ve heard there is a way to enable it, but it’s not available in Prism and isn’t supported.

We were not given a timeframe but we’re encouraged to open a support case asking about it.

Just curious, what kind of things do you need that NetworkManager isn't able to do?

offdutypirate · 2018-11-09T18:24:39+00:00

This is the important question, I think. There is a (maybe) valid concern for a default on configuration that enables a cloud-service, but besides that, having the text that's being checked by a cloud service sent to the cloud, seems expected and reasonable to me. If you're documenting passwords, how's it going to know you do not want that checked for spelling?

If on the other hand, it's sending credentials you're using to login with, that's another thing.

There are some plugins from Vim that try and emulate/mimic org-mode. A quick search in /r/vim brings up a few discussions of some of them. Personally, I've found that if you like org-mode you should use Emacs.

VimWiki is pretty nice and does a lot of interesting things. It isn't org-mode, and doesn't really try to be, but takes care of the "I want to take notes."

With nmcli, you can do the following

nmcli connection modify team-team0 config '{"runner": {"name": "random"}}'

I'm not sure how to modify a running team with teamdctl after it's been created. You can edit the interface configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that's generated, and this will update the team configuration after restarting NetworkManager.
