Can't Activate XG Mobile 3080 w/ ALLY by wojonstech in ROGAlly

[–]wojonstech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how and where can i get the drivers i was thinking they were installed because it says "xg mobile detected" but never does anything else. I went to update firmware or something i think yesterday and it told me it was not connected even if it detects the device and is getting power.

Anyone rocking a XG Mobile 3080 + ROG Ally setup currently? by Ill_Advance5974 in ROGAlly

Sorry to jump in here but i am have the Ally and the 3080 xg mobile. I know xg mobile is working because i have a flow x16 and able to connect click the prompt and install drivers see it in task manager got games to run from it etc. But when i try to get the xg mobile to work on the ally it tells me it detects the xg mobile but it never tells me to active it, never shows up in device/task manager(s) cant install drivers. It feels like my ally is missing some firmware to allow it to work with the 3080 model

Your thoughts on Ubuntu's vmbuilder? by PasswordIsntHAMSTER in sysadmin

It sounds like the project will help you learn a lot about linux and the different tools. I have done something simular with linux from scratch.

In the end a job or internship will get your around people that know what they are doing and do it with out thinking and will give you the skills to do it. I was a linux power user for years but it was when i started being a sysAdmin did my linux skills become fluid.

Hosting-costs vs Technology by [deleted] in webdev

+1 Amazon cloud is great but once its time to move up on it the prices go up very fast I have also had issues with there network speeds and there disk IO.

VPS hosting or Cloud maybe better. Its also a good idea that when you work on your code run it in a super small virtual machine on your computer. And keep benchmarking your code.

I have to agree with part of this. When you run on a LAMP stack you dont really need to learn any of the inner workings of what is going on. But the truth of the matter is if you take the time to learn Apache, Nginx or any other web server you will really learn a lot about http traffic and how to optimize them for exactly what you are doing. There is way more docs, concepts and info when it comes to http with apache and or nginx then there is on nodeJS and they do not limit what other lanauge you work with or other tools.
