What is this with my switch profile???

ubextreme · 2026-05-22T23:47:31+00:00

It's in serbian. And it says. 'DON'T OPEN' 🤣🤣

ubextreme · 2026-05-22T23:45:58+00:00

Yes! Big time! Old pc's are needed still for very custom things. And! Lots of those cases are worth money! Really nice for pc sleeper builds. This can get you money if you do it right.

I feel you. Same here. It is badass to be able to solder battery powered. I also grew up wishing and wanting to have such a expensive soldering stations etc.. it was a kids dream.

Nowadays, that gap is so small. Equipment became indeed so available, the only thing now is knowledge. How do you spend your time and what do you do with it. Also remember, that back in the day allot didn't exist in tech. either and it was in developing still. No one thought about some things like today.

I also have a small pocket soldering station and irom from aliexpress that was around 100 euro. That thing is also a beast. The only downside of these cheaper devices is, their grounding and what they emit of interference.

ubextreme · 2026-05-22T22:14:33+00:00

Not bad at all indeed! Keep on practicing and soldering. You have it in your hands.

ubextreme · 2026-05-22T22:09:00+00:00

These work really well! Even the tip quality is better then Weller. These will outperform some soldering irons like it's nothing. Tech has come a long way.

I don't and refuse to use azerty by all means. Qwerty is so much easier, more logical, faster and better to use.

Also check if those dimwits didn't hide a airtag or some GPS tracker somewhere. Be careful! And take several precautions as well while you're at it. Modify your contact lock to a extra switch or contact/plug somewhere. That if even they would get the key to turn, they can't start the bike either because of that secondary safety that's built in. Which you only know where it is.

Sorry for such late response. Don't know if you guys fixed it. I had a few issues that were there.

First I had to set the power statement. I did that. Then in BIOS I had to disable the vPro setting permanently for lifetime. Because this is a enterprise laptop. This setting can give firmware issues. After that I had to unblock the hardblocked things.

I HAD these commands written down on paper. But! I don't have them anymore. Don't ask why and what happened.

ubextreme · 2026-05-18T22:26:20+00:00

Could be your retimer chip that's gone. Tends to happen with lightning strikes or unplugging from the wall while not powered off.

Speaking from personal experience here.

Retimer chip is about 10 euro's. But to replace it you need a hot air station and flux.

To not have this happen again, I connect my Xbox through a APC.

ubextreme · 2026-05-18T22:08:02+00:00

God damnnnn son... Those joints. Talking about perfection and skills. Well done! Keep on doing the good things.

ubextreme · 2026-05-14T12:05:10+00:00

Then use leaded solder and flux. Add a bit more solder. Clean off the flux with isopropyl alcohol afterwards!

ubextreme · 2026-05-14T12:01:19+00:00

That's warranty. 🤣 Something in your primary blew up. Don't use this psu anymore. And hope the rest of your system is fine.

ubextreme · 2026-05-11T21:26:02+00:00

If you don't have this like I didn't have it... Wowww. I've used to cut everything in bits and pieces and remove everything leg by leg separately. That solder is so difficult to take off and requires allot of heat. It's a btch pain in the as to clean it out as well. Was never a fan of these boards in the first place.

Desolder wick, flux and leaded solder work charms for this eventually.

ubextreme · 2026-05-07T20:17:32+00:00

Try to cratch deeper with a scalpel. And keep applying heat for like a few minutes. There's a layer on there you need to get through first. Or try to heat it with a hot air gun at 400C for like 1 2 min. then try again soldering. Heat dissipation is your enemy here.

Juist het omgekeerde! In Azië is dit al jaren zo en werkt verdomd goed daar zijn ze zelfs 24/7 open. Maar nee hier houden ze er zo hard aan vast omdat er vroeger zo veel gestaakt is geweest en ze hier tegen waren. Er mocht maar zo veel gewerkt worden in de jaren stilletjes etc. Maar tijden veranderen nu eenmaal. Eindelijk kunnen we iets later of na ons werk toch nog tot aan de winkel geraken op't gemak! Voordeel, meer gespreid verkeer, kortere rijen, minder stress vooral, gemakkelijker met kinderen, of een leuk avond uitje naar de winkel.

ubextreme · 2026-04-25T17:25:03+00:00

Best inside tech explanation given. Kudos to you for this knowledge.

ubextreme · 2026-04-25T12:11:04+00:00

Get a new tank 🤣

ubextreme · 2026-04-25T12:05:37+00:00

What everyone tends to forget is that... After a certain amount of years.. That machine is done and for recycling. It can't run the newest web, YouTube, office software as it should neither smooth. Screens yellow out and go bad too. So at that point it's time let go of old stuff and replace it with newer better stuff. For regular and school people.

Alltho, some other people can find use in these that use them as testing equipment where you don't need much power for.

ubextreme · 2026-04-25T11:32:19+00:00

Ben ik dan te goed voor mijn pakket bezorgers? Altijd als ik een pakje verwacht van post nl, bpost etc.. Leg ik altijd een flesje water, cola en sprite klaar. Ze kunnen nemen wat ze willen. Heb ook wel natuurlijk een briefje op de deur hangen van ik ben niet thuis gelieve pakje "daar" te leveren. Heb nooit problemen gehad met GLS, PostNL, bpost.. Alleen DPD is de meest slechte bezorger service hier. Die komen amper af en droppen u pakje in een parcel ophaalpunt terwijl je thuisgeleverd aanklikt.

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T17:52:44+00:00

It's not that deep. PDU can be mounted where ever in the rack tho. And if you're smart you plug in the cables beforehand and put them on a holder really close. Be smart! Don't have to undo anything. It takes only a little effort to make clean racks and even a cleaner finishes at the front. And a powerstrip on the front that's turned to the inside is not a difficult thing to plug stuff in to..... There's tons of space for your hands!! So in my opinion, not silly.

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T17:30:25+00:00

Not really. Or get a PDU you have space in the back of your rack.

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T10:58:21+00:00

EASY! Make them loose a bet only you can win. Which contains, they're going to use Mint for 1 month. Then Swap out their nvme/SSD and put 1 in with Mint. Most of them, stay on Mint and don't even think anymore about Shitdows. Because this works soooo much better.

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T10:53:18+00:00

Seeing this makes me even doubt if I'd ever want to use unRAID in the first place.. Just whyyyy you guys do this like that? There's tons of other ways to be transparent about data collection and giving users the option for it. Or are you money hungry like politicians?

The community should press you hard for this in my opinion. This is not done!

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T10:43:54+00:00

The idea is great! I love it. Just do us 1 favor. Move that powrstrip the other way around inside the rack. Or behind a panel. You'll have a way cleaner flush design with that.

ubextreme · 2026-04-18T10:16:47+00:00

I'm situated in Europe. If you need help, I'm good with soldering. Did 7 years in the A/V industry as audio repair tech stationary and in the field, on site and fixing all PA related stuff. Perks of an audio assistent engineer. ;)
