    [Warm] Refurbished HGST Ultrastar HE10 10TB SATA HUH721010ALE601 - eBay $70

    He is hard to contain for sure. Remember the story about iphones and apple watches getting (temporarily) bricked when in the presence of He? Amazing how it can it get anywhere. A sealed borosilicate ampule will hold it in place. HeNe laser tubes expire after years of sitting and those are...

    I will say that drives in NAS (both Synology and QNAP) seem to be noisier and show more activity then ones in servers with intelligent host controllers with gigs of fast onboard cache. (RAID6/10/60) The exception is the Rack Stations with 2TB nvme cache drives.

    I know these are good drives but the 5 years scares me considering these are heliums and ours have started failing at the 6 year mark. I guess they haven't figured out to keep the lighter than air gas inside forever. ;-) Or it's just media wear. I mean recording 24x7 in a conditioned...

    What Would Cause MB's Reset (not CMOS reset ) Button To Stop Working (along with CPU red light, MB Error Code 00 which is memory issue on Gigabyte)

    Do you get post code 00 immediately with no other changes? That typically means a dead CPU or a problem with CPU connection (bent pins, etc).

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    My biggest issue with CRTs back in the day was oftentimes we could do 85+ at 1600x1200 but if we weren't using BNC inputs, the text would get fuzzy which was annoying to my (then) 20/15 close vision! 60Hz on a CRT particularly with white background was utterly murderous to my vision like...

    iPhone 14 Pro speaker sounds distorted at or near max volume

    Definitely NOT normal. Was the phone exposed to water/fluid or a lot of dust?

    3DMark's Time Spy successor, Steel Nomad

    How about Final Reality? :) I remember back in 1997 running that on my dual pentium pro 200 with Matrox M3D and it revealed the accelerator's missing D3D features. Badly.

    Well of course it won't be the M4 but the A18 pro will certainly be based of it so it will be single core king in mobile as usual.

    3DMark's Time Spy successor, Steel Nomad

    Makes sense. The M4 is blowing it away. Makes me think the iPhone 16 Pro Max is going to really smoke 'em. Of course it's not going to have the thermal mass of the (iPad) so it will throttle madly or feel like a jon-e handwarmer. (or both!)

    Thought the S24 Ultra would have done better!
