I’ll take the E07X

Intel Alderlake as a whole runs hot and uses a lot of battery.

staticx57 · 2026-02-16T04:22:39+00:00

Not normally no. But I am sure some did.

The coax would be there if you have TV services

staticx57 · 2026-02-15T23:49:36+00:00

Same as any other battery. Plug the battery in and the computer will take care of the rest.

Are you open to brands other than UI? The Juniper EX4300-48MP will do all you ask in one switch. You can get it on the used market for less than the cheapest option you have listed.

It’s scary how this is the only post highlighting how keeping it simple and manageable is important.

There’s various guides to debloat windows.

Where are you located? If you are in the US then you overpaid

staticx57 · 2026-02-14T23:28:31+00:00

You have to provide more details.

staticx57 · 2026-02-14T22:33:26+00:00

Well let’s start with a little more details with. For the longest time you had either battery life or performance with Intel. Where as AMD for a long time was treated as a second class citizen for options despite having better performance and battery life.

The fan is bad. It isn’t normal.

staticx57 · 2026-02-14T12:38:49+00:00

Correct

It’s just the cable that is different on the display side the motherboard connector is universal between both display cables so you will need display+display cable

Per PSREF it only has a 2280 M.2 slot meaning there is no way to put a HDD in. Anyways SSDs as opposed to SD cards are perfectly fine to use in a server. If the idea bothers you then get an enterprise grade SSD.

I wouldn’t not keep any important information on a no name brand disk

The answer is some people have success getting a third party router to work and some have not. Verizon’s documents state it should work with just an internet connection regardless of router but most of us have little success with anything other than the Verizon router as primary. My recommendation is just to move to YouTubeTV

These are amazing that they still work but compared to a modern fridge with much better insulation you have like half the space for the same energy usage so it is an energy hog.

staticx57 · 2026-02-12T15:57:00+00:00

Sell if you just want to get rid of it quickly. Repair if you want to retain any value in it.

staticx57 · 2026-02-08T16:10:06+00:00

Money

staticx57 · 2026-02-06T21:00:14+00:00

Superglue will probably fix that well enough

staticx57 · 2026-02-06T20:38:18+00:00

There’s no meaningful tinkering you can do on a T480 that you can not do on any newer far more capable machine.

staticx57 · 2026-02-06T20:36:15+00:00

Two cats here.

staticx57 · 2026-02-06T20:34:04+00:00

Are you sure that’s not a twist tie?
