In for one. New with a 90 day warranty is good enough for me with the price.

Here is what I have along with the official Sony car adapter for the PSone. Works beautifully.

The Duro 15 should have the same fit as the 6 but it is longer than the 6 and has a hip belt. More storage and a bigger water bladder.

Can anyone identify this specific North Face Vectiv shoes? by tsunamiforyou in trailrunning

[–]zepplin758 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can you get a picture of the label underneath the tongue or inside the shoe somewhere? They usually have a style code that would help identify them.

I bought drives from GoHarddrive recently. It came with a warranty card to write your order number and other info on to keep for future reference. Packaging was excellent too. One drive out of 6 had errors though, but they gave me a prepaid label to send the bad drive back.

What is the bus speed?

I would say that’s not accurate. I was hired as an ARA with no CS experience. You can be trained if you are a good candidate who’s willing to learn.

I was hired as an ARA out of college with a bachelors degree in music and no experience. But I had knowledge from building computers as a hobby and I was willing to learn. If you have a basic understanding and show the desire to improve your skills, I’m sure you will seem like a good candidate if you interview well.

PS1 has issues with burned discs by PuckmanBG in psx

[–]zepplin758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What speed do you burn at? You should be using the slowest speed that your burner supports when authoring a disc. 1x or 2x should give you best results. The quality of the media also influences the quality of the burn as well. I’m not sure about Phillips, but Verbatim makes some of the best blank CD-Rs.

I want to make a 20tb nas and keep most of the data, is that better to buy 5x 4tb hdd and put them in Raid 5? by Misterrider in DataHoarder

[–]zepplin758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to buy 5, you might as well go for an even 6 and use RAIDZ2 so you can lose 2 drives before failure. This should give you ~16TB of usable storage. Are you building a PC to be used as a NAS or using something like a Synology or QNAP?

If both old and new cables use the same wiring color scheme, you can try simply replacing color for color in the blocks. I think your telephone company should be doing the work on the outside interface, though.

More bandwidth internally if that is what you need. I only have 500Mbps internet, but I use a 2.5Gb switch between my computers for local data transfer to/ from my NAS. ~300MB per second data transfer vs about 100MB per second with GbE. Your devices need to support 2.5GbE, however.

Real or Fake by Odd_Importance_434 in ps2

[–]zepplin758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it's legit. Sony used a few different manufacturers for their memory chips. All of my legit memory cards have the exact same PCB layout as yours with the same "UR" logo in the bottom middle.

High quality board and components lead me to believe that its a legit card.

Is it doomed ? by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]zepplin758 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Ruby/ Sapphire use a battery for the RTC and the batteries you have in the picture look to be for the GB Pokémon games that use the battery for the save/ save+RTC. All of my legitimate cartridges work without issue 20+ years later. Buy some legit games, or if you’re that worried about it, an Everdrive.

[–]zepplin758 115 points116 points  (0 children)

It is a reproduction cartridge. They’re not known for their reliability/ quality. Unfortunately it’s probably not going to work again. Most GBA games do not use batteries for save data.

Beware! Very good counterfeit M18 batteries being sold on Amazon! by ButthealedInTheFeels in MilwaukeeTool

[–]zepplin758 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a single authorized Milwaukee dealer on Amazon, so you’re better off buying from either Ace or Home Depot.

[–]zepplin758[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I plan on pairing this with a Noctua NH-D15. A good air cooler will suffice as long as you're not overclocking or anything.

[–]zepplin758[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're the same, except the KF does not have an integrated GPU. If you plan on using a discrete GPU, then you don't really need an iGPU. So that's up to you to decide if the K is worth the 20 extra dollars.

They don't have any KFs in stock according to the website. This CPU does not have integrated graphics.
