A very useful use case discovered no later than last week : local dedup management by Synology C2 Backup Agent and TBW on the OS SSD. C2 Backup agent stores dedup/chunks data by default in ProgramData, which is stored on C:... which is

I understand your point. I mixed background, long term tendancies with on-the-field daily feelings. I should have more emphasized on the long-term tendancy : almost all lights are now red in France (and not so better in the UK) : - Educatio

This is almost the same situation in France. Very same issue with management. Most middle earning jobs don't need hard skills anymore, so most of employees gradually lost them over the time (and not the opposite, like a muscle). The ge

The forum at forum.hardware.fr was for most of its main mature code parts written between 2000 and 2001. It has not upgraded revision since about 2010. It has a quite outdated but efficient look and UI even in 2023. Way better thread handli

Can relate to that, I wondered a sec if I didn't write that comment myself. Didn't go the medication route, however. I slept for 8h30/9h per night. A better routine (earlier wake up time, 8 hours of sleep max, some intense ph

I can remember 486 Motherboard in Packard Bell (quite the entry brand...) systems frequently used 36 bits ECC FP SIMMs. Printers and plotters from this era used ECC modules most of the time. But by the end of the century, they were replaced

Yorokobe shonen, no one really cares and public health policies won't establish next week (or year or decade) some sort of mandatory social club activity with cops ringing at your door to make you go. You can stay alone in peace.

I professionally solder about 2 to 3 time a week to replace mainly dead capacitors, broken USB or DC power jack connectors, as well as a few SO*-8 EEPROM chips. Became quite good at it after 20 years. But at the end of the day, prices are o

Good news. I observed those AES cipher/lz2-v2 issues with dead tunnels on newer builds of OpenVPN, on i5-8265u CPU but not on R5 3600. Had to rollback on a previous release.

Am I the only one wondering why almost everyone asking HN questions gets downvoted every da*n time ?

Had almost the same setup and saw about 32W idle on mine. T110 II with Xeon E3 1220, 4 Gb RAM ECC, 1x 128 GB SATA SSD + 1x 6 To HDD IronWolf on a PERC H200 PCIe card. With a WD 10 GB external HDD, the UPS gives me a 50W load.

Could not ever get the up-to-date TB16 to do power delivery correctly to anything (HP Zbook/various Asus/Lenovo Yoga 7) except a Dell laptop. The led on the USB-C connector stays off. The power - if delivered - stays very low and

I will be given the same task of get a USB-C portable monitor to work on a Huawei Mate D14 (1 USB-C) next week. Already preparing for that massive headache.

Go take a look at the Dell TB16 : it's a quite massive thing, almost the size of an old macmini 2009, equiped with a too short of a tb cable. And fun fact, the TB16 is also fan cooled with an Embedded Controller (EC) and firmware that

Yes I can also find tons of second hand PR02/03X 5 minutes from home here, dirty cheap. But the 19v 130w PSUs are usually more expensive and difficult to find. But the PR and ultraslim dock series are so far very reliable, even after y

In France, a router is rented about 3€ ($4) per month by the majors ISPs (the renting cost is not shown idependently by two of the three major ISPs. Orange explicitly shows its renting cost on bills. That's cheap for a broadband router
