I think it's all I can fit in there. It's an older system, and I think the max drive you can actually fit it 2tb each but I am going to try to see if it will see the 8tb drive. If so, plan moves ahead, if not. I will get a synology NAS box and load it up!

I figure once I get up and running with the photography/videography/design business, I will need all the storage I can get. So building for future needs. I have over 10tb of personal stuff right now on 5 drives hanging around the house and workshop. I don't think it will take long to be going into more after doing work for others.

Yeah I still have my sega master system. The built in game was outrun wasn't it? Or was it the motorcycles?

I was just going to ask if you were running linux on your 3xl. it's the only phone that runs 100 percent on linux. Very neat.

I find mine fine, as long as you don't want to move stuff to a different case. It's plenty fast, quiet (after adding the notcua cooling solutions) and I have no problems with it at all. But, I do agree with the proprietary hardware. Mine came just as I configured it. Mistakes happen, but they should have stepped up and fixed Dawid's issues. After some more research last night, I know that if I move to the proart board with my non K 10700, I can still get a 26 percent increase in performance. Supposedly intel left some stuff to unlock in the non k i7. Add in the SLI 2070 super duo card, and for resolve and other editing software I will have a video system thats equivalent to a 3090 with in an "fps" or so. It makes sense for me to move to the ProArt z-490 board in the North case for sure now.

Agreed, but at the time, it was either that or have no system at all. Cost of video cards was BONKERS here. I paid like 300 dollars more for the entire system than a video card alone.

I see this advertised. What is the story behind it?

This was one of my favorites back in the day.... I am a PONG baby. So I remember before PC gaming was even a thing. Had a realistic PONG game which was the CHIT back in the day and graduated to a TRS 80 before getting my first pc for games like falcon, and all the game show video games. As for the video cards I remember wanting to get a colorpower gforce card that had a big gold heatpipe cooler that used to hang off the side, but can't remember the number to find a picture, it's fan had blue leds too. After that was the 9800 All in wonder card.

First off, welcome. Your Lenovo could move to windows 10 quite easily and run for many more years. I think its even free to upgrade.

I have had this acer mini server for years and it's been sitting just waiting for some love. Well, in the next week or so I will be firing it up for a NAS storage unit for our businesses. I have been doing some research and I can supposedly install a bootloader from sinology to make this into a "new" NAS unit. I will be adding the noctua cooling solutions to it as I think It has a 120mm fan space in the rear and I will get the low profile cpu cooler for the system. For drives I will install 4 8tb Seagates and run them in a raid array to give protection of data. If I can't get this to work correctly I may swap in a whole new board, chip and go that route for the server. Either way, it will be setup in the next two week for use! I will keep a progress report going once I start in on it!

Here is a picture of the duo folded vs iphone 11 pro max. The Galaxy is as thick as the iphone unfolded. so two of them stacked.

I have. The rocky mountains are amazing in Canada. I have been to most every major place in Canada. I lived in Yellowkinife for a year and a half working on the incorporation of Nunavut as a new territory in the mid/late 90s. Very interesting work. Been to BC, AB, ON, QE, NS, NB, and live in NL!

You don't get what I am saying. I will bow out of this conversation now. Thanks.

In my previous house I had a theater there I had a Sanyo PLV-Z1 projection system. I had a 200" screen and the projector put out great HD quality image. If 4k was not a requirement, then I think it's a great technology. If I was building my current home myself, I would have had a nice theater put in here, but we purchased it already completed. I would go for it if I were you!

Yes, but they are not crappy hinges. It's a work of industrial art. Built to last. Like the hinge in the surface Pro.

My old tag. Ha ha. The memories!

I use it for navigation in the backcountry and if we are in a cabin or hotel room with no tv in the bedroom. When we are outside it's not being used. We enjoy nature plenty...hiking, camping, mountain biking, snowboard, snowshoeing.....etc. FYI.

That's why I like the duo best. NO screen fold. It's slimmer than my iphone 13 when it it's folded. and it's the right size and way to do a folding device for productivity!

You could try some on this list. Seems you may find something suitable there. Apple is re'doing their music app for classical music asap too. My son who has autism loves classical so he is going to enjoy when they finally get that rolled out early in 2023. 13 Best Music Player Apps For iPhone, Free iPhone Music Apps 2023 (techpout.com)

NO, I worked for bell 15 years ago, and I work for them again. Again, no. It's for getting data off of peoples phones who have their lifetime of images and what not lost. When I worked for bell before, phones did not even have cameras, now....nobody backs anything up and people are losing photos etc of loved ones who have passed away etc. If their phone does not turn on and be able to be navigated with, I cannot get their memories back. It's funny how everyone automatically goes to CREEP. Instead of going to oh look, there are pictures of my loved one before they died, I wish i could get those back. I had an older couple come in about a month or so ago, and their daughter was going to court for something. They NEEDED documents that was stored on their dead iPhone. No worky, no documents. I lucked out this time, and contact the guy we send people to for battery an screen replacements. He put in another battery and screen, and got the phone fired up. So NO. It's not CREEPY, it's helping someone get important items back of their crappy technology that breaks easily. I also set up cloud services for each and everyone of these people afterwards and explain to them how it works. At least then, they are protected moving forward for only a few dollars a month.

Intel finally released Unison, their Dell Mobile Connect style app. Back in 2021 they purchased screenovate, who developed Mobile Connect for Dell. They showed it at CES 2022, with great fluidity of communicating between windows devices and apple ios phones. They released it yesterday and I downloaded it this morning. It works great and fast. My wife was sitting with me on the sofa and I sent her an imessage from my notebook, and she got it intstantly, and she replied and I got it instantly. You can also move photos/videos etc all through the app. I am happy they finally got this going as its one feature I was missing via iOS phone that I wanted.

It's not two generations behind on power, it's a few points back on the 4080 for less money. Plus, from everything I can read about it, it's better for the software I run. I don't care about benchmarks etc, I care about real world applications. That being said, I am going in a different direction for this year anyways. My son has shown an interest in doing video, photo and other creative applications himself, so I am going to build my system from parts in my XPS and upgrade a few other things, and take the XPS and pop some parts in it for him. A twofer for the price of one.

Supposedly the new one+ is going to be based off the oppo as they are sister companies. I would never purchase a one+ device because of their shady dealing with customer credit cards in the past without any remorse after getting caught two different times. But, I am thinking the pixel "fold" will be similar as well.

I would go with either the surface duo 2 or the new Oppo Find N2. Both are a much better form factor, and the Samsung screens are breaking alot. I have worked at the bell store for almost a year, and had at least a dozen flips and about 5 folds come back with damaged and nonfunctioning screens. The Oppo, and even more so the duo, do not have these issues with the screens. The second issue with the fold 4 is the cigar sized closed screen. It's useless to do anything on. The Oppo has a nice exterior screen, and the interior screen is still nice and large. Just a better form factor overall.

I agree for gaming, but for video work dual is a different situation. Add in the fact I can get a 2070 super like I have currently for less than half the cost of a 3090ti It would be a great cost effective upgrade. My son is taking to creating stuff on his old computer and it's slow, so I am thinking about getting the parts I need for now, swap into the new case for me, and then using the left overs for him and build him a medium performance desktop out of my xps. Thanks for the information. Now, I have to figure out what I want to do...The Fractal North case is calling my name.....BAD!
