When you say data centers, what do you mean? If I was looking on Craigslist or whatever for this, how would I be able to tell which seller is a data center?

- tombert 2y agoIf you look up some kind of network equipment in a large metro area on Craiglist, you will often find data center resellers or sometimes just offices and the like directly. There’s not a clear way to determine if the entity you’re buying from is a data center, but if you’re buying a 5+ year old 10gbe PCIe card it’s very likely that it’s from a data center.
- pogue 2y agoI'm really trying to find some deals on machines that can natively run Windows 11 since 10 is going to stop being supported next year. I've seen machines on Amazon/Walmart that claim to have 11 installed, but they're machines from 2013 that have 11 sideloaded in (for lack of a better term). Since Windows 11's system requirements are so high, it's really difficult to find good prices on parts/machines that have UEFI & TPM. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications?r=1 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifica...
