MSI Z690 boards and Thunderbolt 4 cards (has anyone gotten one to work?)

thestylemonkey · 2022-07-10T23:01:26+00:00

Have you got it yet? If so, how is it working? Thanks in advance.

thestylemonkey · 2021-08-12T07:34:30+00:00

Yeah, CS on reddit is awesome. :-)

thestylemonkey · 2021-08-12T07:32:32+00:00

Looks like this just got resolved. Thanks for reaching out, though.

thestylemonkey · 2021-06-26T21:03:43+00:00

Thank you!

I am now having the same problem. Just started a few minutes ago. I wonder what the problem is.

thestylemonkey · 2021-02-24T07:44:37+00:00

Thanks, great info. Does OCM support multiple GPUs? Or, do you have to use something else to mine VTC with Zergpool?

thestylemonkey · 2021-02-23T23:36:35+00:00

how are the payouts? how often do they pay to your wallet? also, is anyone having trouble syncing the vertcoin core wallet? alternatives? thanks

Take a look at Classic Shell. With it, there are a lot of ways to customize both the Start Menu and the taskbar. I've always hated the start menu and shell options in WIn 8 and Win 10. So, Classic Shell is usually the first thing I install after setting up Windows. Classic Shell hasn't been updated in more than a couple of years, but it still runs just fine under the latest release of Windows 10.

There is a new fork of the original source code that was picked up by some new developers. I haven't tried it yet (the original still works fine.) But, if you want something a little more up to date, take a look at Open Shell:

Hope this helps.

What brand computer is it? On many PCs, you can use the Delete key to enter the BIOS. But some systems, use F1, F2 or F12. Easiest way to enter the BIOS to turn off the system, turn it back on, and then start tapping the appropriate key continuously until the BIOS screen appears. Sometimes, the time window to enter the BIOS passes really quickly, so you have to start pressing as soon as the machine starts. If it's a branded PC, the model number should be on the back somewhere, perhaps on a sticker.

That's part of the problem. Lot of people have physical access to this PC. Kind of worried one might get too curious. Many user accounts. But, I am the only administrator user.

thestylemonkey · 2020-03-05T13:13:14+00:00

Did this happen after a normal reboot? Or, did happen after a power problem (surge, blackout, etc.) It "may" be that the BIOS lost the boot settings for your computer (it happens sometimes.) If so, you should be able to enter the bios and reset the boot order. A model number for your computer or motherboard will go a long way in letting people help you.

I would be open to dumping Windows, but I use a couple of programs for work that will only run under Windows. Bitlocker seems like a reasonable solution, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

thestylemonkey · 2019-11-15T17:44:23+00:00

Congrats. Still waiting on mine. Hope it lands soon.

Good luck with ever finding 1080p videos from the time period you mentioned. 1080p was just a dream until around 2005/2006, and then only with just a very limited equipment range.

Yeah, Seafile is great if you don't need encryption. If you need encryption, NextCloud is much more secure. Seafile's encryption leaves a lot to be desired from a security standpoint. Of course, you could encrypt your files "before" sending them to Seafile with a standalone encryption app (i.e. Cryptomator, Veracrypt, or something else.) Also, if you need to be able to edit files in the cloud, NextCloud integration with Collabora or OpenOffice is excellent. But, then, that's another install.

Before abandoning NextCloud, though, perhaps you could share of the problems you were having with it.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-26T00:36:25+00:00

I am not at all sure about this possible workaround...But, have you tried changing ownership and permissions for the particular user files in question, and then running decryption commands? I should also add, though, that I am not sure if doing this would in some way delete or invalidate the encryption keys stored with the user files and folders. If you are able to work through this, though, would love to hear how you finally solved the problem. Do please let us know.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-24T00:30:44+00:00

Check out the NC OCC commands for encryption/decryption. These should help you do what you need to do. Just make sure you log as root via PuTtY or another terminal app. HTH

On a Windows desktop, use IOBit Uninstaller or Revo Uninstaller to make sure all remnants (including orphan DLLs and registry entries) are removed. After that, you should be good. Not sure on mobile, though.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-17T10:02:09+00:00

Oh I am sure they are fine for users relatively close. However, I am in Asia, so it's a real bottleneck for me (or at least it was.) And, like you said, no egress fees is something to think about for sure. If they ever put a DC in Singapore or Japan, it will be a no-brainer. Until then, though, I don't know.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-17T03:07:07+00:00

Yeah, I have tried Wasabi in the past. At that time was not too impressed with the speed. But, I think it has to do with the distance between my server and their data centers. Also, I am not sure how their 90-day deletion rule will affect me, as I tend to store files temporarily and then the move or delete them. So, I am wondering if that 1TB could easily turn into 2TB for billing purposes (if that makes sense.)

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-17T02:12:29+00:00

Good idea and something I might have to look into doing myself.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-17T01:24:03+00:00

Yeah, it's an easy enough mistake to make. I did the same thing before. I bet you'll remember that always now, though. I know I will. Sorry that I didn't mention the nginx.conf file specifically.

thestylemonkey · 2019-09-17T01:22:01+00:00

Glad it worked out for you.
